NFL (no haters)

[stephen300o]

Some surprise wins this week, worms turning, Miami, Houston and Detroit winning, for some, some surprise special teams play too....

The Bengals have had these moment of being really good before and faded, but this time I think they have some real potential there, good players all over.
As on all good teams, where the talent is slightly lacking, the overall success gives them the confidence to play above themselves. No one want to play Cincinati.

'My' Jets are still hovering near to good, they have the bits and pieces, I think just need that really big win to get a little real confidence. Sunday is obviously huge. Hope Buster is not out with concussion.

Amazing marching band

[stephen300o]

You may be right...
Hope the quality of play improves. Ah! Nice run!

[stephen300o]

Bills still in it, thankfully the playing is better now, don't forget over half time.

[stephen300o]

Come on Bortles you daft sod, pull yourself together, and run the ball!

[stephen300o]

Bills are in trouble now, going to be a lot quotes for the reporters this week.

[stephen300o]

As of recent times, the Pats very strong at home. Dolphins D did well at first but can only hold on so long when the offence is not joining in the fun and games.

The Raiders vs Jets is as always going to be a good game I think, Raiders are tough in all three phases, Cooper is particularly fun to watch, but not too many points from him I hope..

Good to see Cinci on sky too, some Steeler kicking no doubt.

[stephen300o]

Hopefully there won't be a franchise here, it would be pretty daft.

[stephen300o]

Cool!
Slow start, but as they mostly do this year, they got in a good rhythm and walked away with it.

[stephen300o]

I watched some NFL total access, I thought.. This is pretty much the same as loose women.

[stephen300o]

I'd base my feelings on the teams I liked, rather than disliked. If I didn't like either team, I wouldn't watch.

[stephen300o]

Hatred does nothing other than burn those that are holding it.

[stephen300o]

Any given Sunday, the worst can beat the best. Its what makes it interesting.

[stephen300o]

Denver were just the better team on the day. Less miscues, more plays made.

You didn't watch the game then?

I was pleased for the young QB and dropping the punt was unforgivable and ultimately cost the game but the refs were appalling. The problem is that you can call holding on nearly every play, likewise PI on both sides of the ball. They are subjective calls and unfortunately the geriatric buffoons in charge yesterday chose to be consistently subjective in penalizing one team. Unfortunately the NFL (and the NBA which also suffers from awful officiating) seems happy to continue with the same old men with failing eyesight and arthritic hips and we all live with the result. I don't understand, with all the money in both games, why they don't recruit and train young, fit officials with good eyesight. Joey fking Crawford was useless 20 years ago and the NBA still inflicts him on us, likewise Walt Coleman who must be 80 and is still in charge of NFL games.

Yep, watched the game, a good one, many ups and downs, Patriots lost, like half the teams do every week.
There are always reasons, always what if moments. Move on to the next game rather than passing blame around.

[stephen300o]

Felt sorry for the Browns there, just one paw in the way countered all the good work. A fun game to watch though.

[stephen300o]

Some good games this week, unexpected results. Guess there will be more cuts on Monday in New England... but really, such a competitor that Brady.

[stephen300o]

As a neutral, the games are going to be great to watch.

[stephen300o]

Just watched some condensed Jaguars. They look pretty explosive right now on both sides of the ball, I was thinking if only they started this before their season ended, then checked the standings, to see they have a good shot still of grabbing their division! The twists and turns.
