I think it's karma for your low-balling trade attempts.

On the other hand, Hyde + Gurley.

Where - if anywhere - do you folks go for simple match reports? The NFL site is all stats and drive summaries and 5-point what we learnt lists. I want summat like the football match reports you get on the BBC but for NFL games. Just a written summary of the game.

I know I could look around the major sites but personal recommendations would (a) save me doing that and (b) make you feel good by helping a brother out. Cheers.

I use NFL.com out of habit, but ESPN write the kind of summaries you are after and have a simple box score available. Their website is less buggy on game day too.

Cheers Ren, that's what I was after. Very appreciated. Pretty handy TNF you had in the fantos btw! Long way back for kieran_vale

Trust me, there is nothing I would love more than to be able to offer up a half decent HB or WR, but there's a massive fucking hole in that logic for me at the moment....

Wow just seen that from last night. Indeed!

I basically need Leveon Bell to get his finger out this season and start scoring some proper points. Actually reword that Todd Haley to stop being an idiot. Taking a risk that Gronk will be healthy. Him and TFB looked back to more like what know them to be so who knows.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pretty ordinary from the Pats in large parts but one mistake by Watson and we have a lead. Will take it.

 

[Stagat]

The Giants are horrible.

 

[kieran_vale]

Whoever wins this I think it's safe to say the Texans may finally have the QB they needed in Watson. Impressive performance.

Pats Defence has been horrendous. Am shocked by this as thought it would be a real strong point this year but can't stop the run and giving up big plays constantly. Not what you expect from a Belichick Defence.

 

[Stagat]

The Giants are horrible.

Apart from Beckham.

 

[Lamby]

What is it with mainland Europeans and smoking at Wembley? Tossers.

 

[Stagat]

Wankers. Can't wait 'til we leave!

 

[Bobbin']

Ergh.

 

[kieran_vale]

Man we got lucky there. Defence was horrible but thank fuck for Tom Brady.

 

[Bobbin']

Seen Brady do that to so many teams late on, it's a sickener when it's your own!

Great performance tonight though, vastly improved all over and Watson - on only his second ever start was brilliant. Can't wait to watch him get better and better.

Completely agree Bobbin very impressive. Just the sheer brilliance of TFB the difference. Thought you ran the ball really well though think our awful D contributed to that.

Lots of positives for the Texans and some for the Pats but a lot of work to do.

Who wants to take timeouts anyway...

Definite positives to take but positives won't get the Texans to the playoffs. #facts

Agreed, particularly impressed with Foreman.

Gutting but nice to see the Pats being made to work for their wins.

I do agree but playing like that against probably 25+ other teams and the Texans win. You just can't legislate for Tom Brady.

 

[kieran_vale]

Only annoying thing today is wish I'd kept Steffon Diggs in my fantasy lineup. Would probably have managed the win over Renegade then. As it happens am about 20 points short even with a decent score.

Had the same thing in front of me.

 

[Lamby]

Had the same thing in front of me.

No warnings about it either on the tannoys which is quite frankly ridiculous. Half of them look like they'd knock you out if you mentioned it though.

 

[RavenBish]

Turns out Andy Dalton was just giving everyone else a 2 week head start in the MVP race.

 

[RavenBish]

Nope, scratch that - he is actually terrible

Not to worry, I sabotaged my team by playing Trevor Siemien.

Redzone during the last hour of the 6pm games was actually amazing yesterday and the last 10 minutes was just ridiculous.

Brady marching the Pats up the field in the last two minutes culminating in an unbelievable catch to win it.

Lions thinking they had one it only to have it chalked off and then being told it was game over.

Bears running an 80 yard (ish) touchdown to win it in over time only for it to be chalked off for stepping out of bounds. Then winning it anyway with another great run.

That 61 yard field goal to win it for the Eagles.

Insane.

Agreed, it was very good. Apart from that Bears TD getting chalked off and costing me loads of fantasy footy points.

Bloody hell where have you been

Bloody hell where have you been

Decided to take a year out mate, patiently waiting for the pricks of this board to disappear. Luckily, the majority have!

 

[Renegade]

Even with the amazing finishes, the end of the first half in the Steelers vs Bears game was the most entertaining part of the day.

 

[kieran_vale]

Anyone else going the game today at Wembley? Quite looking forward to this mainly because can see Drew Brees play live. My second favourite QB to watch after Brady and wasn’t able go the first time the Saints were over here.

Just hope he can light it up today and give the Dolphins a good old fashioned gubbing.
