Bit disrespectful of the Chiefs to have a kicker called Cairo in light of the awful aviation tragedy in Egypt yesterday. RIP.

Le'Veon Bell looks done there. Knee injury, can't put any weight on it, never a good thing.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Worst O-Line in the NFL, not even close. Even worse for large periods of the game it appeared nobody cared, not the O, not the D, not special teams, no effort, players just standing about whilst Stafford gets maimed.
There were rumours after the sacking of Lombardi that Caldwell and GM Mayhew have been told performances improve or they are gone as well - so end of season could be complete clean out and hopefully with the first draft pick to trade away.

I had fun though, got there early, did all the fan pass stuff, the combine drills and that; chatted to loads of Lions fans from Detroit. Bring on next years games, possibly 4 at wembley.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Detroit just allowed a QB to run 49 yards

Allowed ALEX SMITH to run 49 yards, as embarrassing a recent moment in Lions history as Orlovsky's safety.

And with the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select....

In other news, why did I leave Brees on the bench and start Dalton? Horrible decision.

Good to see you back RB.

Missed out on today's London game - the wife was due today (no sign of the baby yet though) so couldn't risk being in a mobile signal vacuum and gone for 6+ hours of the day.

Nervous for the Broncos game, but have a little bit confidence too. Don't fancy Bakhtiari (taken a real step back this season) against Miller/Ware, but our o-line interior is top tier. Surely a defensive battle though, which are great to watch.

RB, why is Bernard not had a rushing attempt today? Injured or play calling?

 

[Anon]

Bridgewater taking some big hits but completing passes...

 

[RavenBish]

Without question the worst display of play-calling by an OC I have seen in my life, even worse than the Jay Gruden and Bratkowski eras - Jackson deserves to be fired on the spot straight after the game. Fucking braindead stuff. Genuinely fucking bizarre.

You've just ran for 12 yards to get to 1st & goal at the 5 yard line then attempt 3 pass plays? You don't give Gio Bernard a carry until 9 minutes left in the FUCKING 4TH QUARTER.

Fucking useless c***. Shove yer exotic formations straight up for fucking arse, little round headed buffoon.

 

[Aberstone]

Bengals losing players left, right and centre.

Great time for useless Antwan Blake to actually contribute to the team.

 

[Bobbin']

As if the Texans D have scored me 20 points

 

[Anon]

College football score at the Superdome...

 

[Aberstone]

Balls. That's just a great defensive play.

 

[Anon]

2nd part of a four-team accy done, thanks to the Vikings. Cardinals and Rams to finish it...

 

[RavenBish]

Well, that's the absolute worst this team could possibly play and they've still beaten the Steelers - I guess that's a positive....I think.

 

[Aberstone]

Mike Tomlin in clock mismanagement shocker. Congrats on winning the AFC North Cincinnati.

And with the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select....

...nobody, I hope. Should be traded away, hopefully someone like the Redskins will make another silly move by offering 1st and 2nd round picks and some players - like Kerrigan for instance.

Regarding fantasy, didn't I trade Brees to someone last week?

You'd hope the Redskins would've learnt their lesson by now but there's always gonna be someone wanting that top spot, true. And yeah it was me, left him on the bench the week he scores 40+ and Dalton gets 9.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Matt Cassel with a big diva WR style first down celebration. Things I never expected to see at the start of the season.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Some pretty special officiating in Dallas this evening. What the hell.

 

[kieran_vale]

Probably the worst attempts at tackling you will ever see from the Jets. Surprising coming from them.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Frightening KTFO hit here now. Heath blasted Lockette on a punt (legal hit). Hasn't moved at all for about 5+ minutes. Looks like it might be a bad one.

> calling it a blindside block now, which it transparently wasn't. These clown officials have got no clue.

>> Waving at the crowd as wheeled off. That's better.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

How about those Saints?

 

[1862]

Need Seattle -3.5 for a 6 teamer... cheers Russ.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

These officials make the Duke/Miami crew look good. Do me a fucking favour.

 

[kieran_vale]

I'm sorry but how on earth do they miss that call? Should not need a booth review to see that was a forward pass. Was fucking obvious to (almost) everyone who would have seen it.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Great execution at the end there. Christ. Fucking moronic.

Shoulda, coulda, almost, nearly.

The story of the Romo-less Cowboys.

I've had more fun weekends of football viewing, it's gotta be said.

 

[Stagat]

Bit disrespectful of the Chiefs to have a kicker called Cairo in light of the awful aviation tragedy in Egypt yesterday. RIP.

But nice tribute by Peyton to the men and women who fought for your right to be a c*** on every snap.

 

[Anon]

Manning looking good, didn't see that coming. Still, we were looking ok to get back in it until Matthews got injured, the TD was run up the gut on his replacement, and two main corners got injured. Write it off and move on...

 

[kieran_vale]

Got to hand it to the Broncos D, they did incredibly well particularly in coverage last night. Think it was one of them nights where the Packers missed Jordy Nelson a lot with the match-up nightmare he presents.

Trade deadline tomorrow, don't think much earth shattering will happen but last couple of years we've done a bit of business which has worked out well. Wouldn't mind seeing if there is the opportunity for another CB (our biggest weakness) or maybe more O-Line depth.
