Jon Gruden is a fucking idiot, why can't the man remember what he said 30 minutes previously. Whilst discussing Aguayo's struggles as the first kicker to be taken in the first or second round of the draft, since Gruden himself picked Janikowski, he says 'Sebastian had a lot of misses that first year but we stuck with him, we knew he'd come good.'
Aguayo misses another 'this kid is really struggling, they might have to think about a change.' Lining up to kick a winning FG - 'he's kicking for his NFL career here.'
Anyway, Aguayo saved his career to win a pretty turgid game and I don't think we'll be seeing Panthers-Cardinals as the NFC Championship game this season.

In fantasy football, does anyone know what determines league position when records are the same?

presumably total points

presumably total points

That's what I thought but I'm currently top (#humblebrag), whilst there are other people with higher points for totals.

Was pleased the little fella made his kick at the death, some redemption monday right there.

Head to head record.

Where the fuck is RB? I want to be entertained dammit!

I was on a #ladsholiday in Spain and only recall checking my phone when Bengals were 21-0 down.

Safe to say we ain't a good team this year, s'what happens when you have 2/3 consecutive bad drafts and refuse to sign any free agents of note.

These Chargers uniforms look really good, just about the best of the whole color-rush set.

Not going to get my hopes up of them beating Denver as no doubt there will be some new way in the fourth quarter to lose narrowly. Don't think they've had a blocked punt yet so could be time.

Story of the Chargers.

 

[kieran_vale]

Great start Chargers though they've done this all season so far. It's what comes later that's the concern.

Rivers is just dropping it on a sixpence when he's throwing. Not bad considering this may as well be a road game for the Chargers with this crowd tonight.

 

[epic73]

Can we just play 3 quarters?

 

[kieran_vale]

Here we go..... ffs Chargers

 

[kieran_vale]

Fourth quarter time, please don't Charger this up now.

Denver have been utterly abysmal it must be said as well.

 

[kieran_vale]

Well they threatened to blow it but Chargers get the win. Feared the worst for them when the onside kick was recovered.

Think anyone with a heart would have been willing them on to win there. Great stuff.

 

[Destruction]

Fucking Denver, every time they did anything positive and it looked there might actually be a decent finish to the game some gormless fucker gave a penalty away on every big play.

 

[epic73]

We won a game!!!

What are the rules regarding onside kicks, they seem strictly better than punts.

 

[kieran_vale]

Not bad from NC State in the first quarter against Clemson at least until they get to the red zone then all of a sudden getting in their own way with penalties.

 

[.V.]

Cracking game in Charlottesville, UVA 21 Pitt 14 after the first quarter.

 

[kieran_vale]

First play of the second half Deshaun Watson throws a pick 6 to level it up. Becoming a very good game this.

 

[kieran_vale]

Clemson you lucky twats. NC State miss a 33 yard FG to knock them off. Overtime it is. What a game.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

^^^jammy jammy bastards

time to see if the vaunted burnt orange D can hold the mighty Iowa State under 500 yards!

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Stanford kicker just bounced a FG attempt off the top of the upright. Not seen that one before.

I've long been a proponent of hitting the upright being worth 4 pts, so that has to be worth at least 10.

Not only is my girlfriend in Chicago for a work thing, and going to the Cubs NLCS game in Wrigley tonight, but she's also staying in the Bears team hotel. She ran into Joique Bell last night and a couple of other players she didn't recognise. It's ok, I'm not jealous, honest!

Feeling pretty good about not trading McCoy away earlier this week.

 

[RavenBish]

We are such a weird team.

Walk into Foxboro and put in a superb first half performance. Now if I know my Bengals, what comes in the 2nd half is phenomenal meltdown.

Would be nice to spoil Brady's homecoming though, if you were an outsider to the sport you'd think he was returning from a battle with cancer, not a short suspension for cheating.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Going well for Carolina again.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pats have played like utter trash in that first half but have the lead. Will take it.

Can't believe how difficult when you have an offense with Edelman, Gronk, Bennett, Amendola they were finding it to get open for most of that half.

I had to say something didn't I.

 

[kieran_vale]

Notice Big Ben is off the field hurt at present. Always hard to tell with him though as lets face it he is a wee bit of a drama queen at times.

 

[RavenBish]

it's so they can pretend he's playing with a broken neck, two dislocated kneecaps and no eyeballs next week and comment on how TOUGH he is despite the fact he is always fucking injured.
