Lamar Jackson is unreal. Surprised Jimbo Fisher hasn't waved a white flag yet.

Fucking hell Ole Miss have come to play today. Absolutely whupping Bama. Did get very lucky with that defensive TD not getting called back for the personal foul mind.

 

[kieran_vale]

Well they were whupping Bama. Wiped out a 21 point gap. Chad Kelly really should have thrown that away, he had enough time.

 

[Craig]

We got us a hell of a game down in Mississippi y'all.

 

[kieran_vale]

I don't see how that can be given a TD. Not the best series of plays starting from the 1 yard line by Ole Miss there though to be fair.

 

[kieran_vale]

We have a ball game again, this is superb viewing!

Do you guys watch college football via BT Sport? I should really try and get into that...

It's how I watch it although I believe you can get ESPN Player in the UK which has more games live.

 

[Stagat]

Well Stagat the Bills have fired the offensive co-ordinator. You can't help thinking that after a day when they gave up 37 points it's somewhat a case of ignoring the elephant in the room.

Yep, seems Rex has thrown the bloke under the bus. Needs to be firin' himsen really.

Looking forward to game day two tomorrow but I'm none to thrilled with Sky showing the Rams Seahawks game live, I think having that Rams team on once a year could be more than enough for my liking although the Steelers bengals game will be good.

Remember to set them fantasy team lines (nod nod wink wink Epic mate).

If you have Sky Sports I'd watch Red Zone.

Can see the Pats and Phins being a low scoring affair. Their defense was incredibly good against Seattle though on the other side of the ball they were lacking. Given I would have gladly taken 2-2 in these four games before TFB's return if we get the win today that would be huge. Think it will be about 3-4 points either way.

 

[kieran_vale]

Nice one Jimmy G. That will now be 4 first rounders he's worth

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

March down the field. Stall in the redzone. Come away with 3.

Saw this movie last week....

 

[Bobbin']

JJ Watt recovers a fumble, Hopkins scores a TD.

Business as usual in Houston.

 

[kieran_vale]

Jimmy Fucking G does it again. Awesome start!!

 

[Aberstone]

Jimmy G's got an absolute cannon of an arm, beautiful release.

Less said about our game so far, the better.

 

[kieran_vale]

The best thing about him is he gets the ball out quickly, not sure how it compares with Brady's but it can't be far off.

Wow Cleveland making a nice start against Baltimore.

 

[Destruction]

Xavier Grimble > Jimmy Grimble

 

[kieran_vale]

And it's now that point of the day I kick myself for not putting Corey Coleman in my fantasy team.

Just missed on a bomb to Matthew Slater. For as long as I can remember we always try it at some point and it's never come off.

 

[RavenBish]

Sensationally inept officiating as per usual at Heinz Field.

Mike Mitchell really bridges that gap between bad player and scumbag very well.

 

[RavenBish]

I know teams get away with loads of holding every game but this is fucking criminal. Steelers are holding 2-3 guys blatantly on every snap. I don't blame them though as it's clear they're never going to get called for it

 

[kieran_vale]

Well it was a perfect first half until Jimmy G had to leave the game with a shoulder injury. I'd be surprised if we see him again before Brady's return the way he looked after. See what Jacoby Brissett has got anyway.

Just as well we have a good lead. Tannehill has looked hopeless in comparison.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

He might turn into a pumpkin yet, and he's been a dink and dunk artist for the most part, but.... thru pre-season and 1.75 real games I can count the number of dumb decisions Dak Prescott has made on the fingers of one butcher's hand. Hard not to be impressed.

 

[kieran_vale]

Credit to Miami they've come back hard second half. We've got in our own way a couple of times with holding penalties taking us out of FG range which would have iced the game. Brissett actually looked pretty decent, needs a long drive now.

 

[Aberstone]

Lol, that play never should have stood.

Waiting for RB to implode in 3.... 2.... 1....

 

[RavenBish]

Knee clearly down on replay. Play stands. Only in fucking Pittsburgh.

 

[kieran_vale]

Just about squeaked home in the end. Miami played very well second half to be fair but once we'd got that lead was always a long shot.

Very impressed with the 4 minute offense from Brissett at the end as well. Shame Gost missed the FG but he got us in position very nicely. Now just got to pray for Jimmy G.

 

[Bobbin']

Texans win the battle of the defences.

 

[Anon]

Obviously Brady will come back in once the suspension is up. However while there's all the talk of a draft pick via trade, if Garropalo continues to shine do they instead try to keep him if they think he's Brady's heir?

Surely if it all goes really well, he'd prefer to stay there and be comfortably groomed as the long term replacement rather than one of the poor QB needy teams, even if it meant holding the clipboard for an extra 1 or two years?
