NFL talk? Questions about American football?

I decided this week to do TD scorers 9-fold as my bet because my match results have been horrible. Got 3/9 so far, I could really do with £495.

And I'm also at the Cowboys game in November

I'm sat at the backass of nowhere, you?

Ryder Cup won, International Series to come, today is a good day. I can't wait for my trip down to Wembley for the Jags, I hope they put on the same kind of stuff we've seen for the Raiders game.

I know that seeing Jacksonville make plays of more than 10 yards makes me pretty happy. And the 49ers having a mare on special teams, nobody who's not a 49er likes the 49ers.

Thinking about the Jags, it would be very like the Chargers to lose a game they have -14.5 handicap line on. They do that way too often. Of course I spoke too soon, the Jags secondary rivals the Cowboys for it's porousity and Rivers is probably going to carve them up all day.

Do like what Bortles is managing to do though! If the Jags get that level of production consistently I like the look of the rest of the season.

Not only are the Jags imploding in the secondary, this means that I'm now predicted to lose my fantasy matchup. This is awful.

My Football coach went to both Wembley games last year...and suggested that there was a better atmosphere for the Jaguars game; in terms of 'fan experience he suggested it was better in that game than in the Steelers-Vikings game.


I have to say, I have been impressed with both Bortles and Bridgewater. They are the future...and the teams have to live and die with them. Bortles was forced to throw on the move, pretty much every time according to the San Diego radio network, but they also pointed out how Henne couldn't do with that.

Jags and Vikings can look to the future with confidence.

Looks like I'm well and truly beaten in FF this week, this league at least

Unlucky, you had me worried for a bit with Rivers and Royal killing the Jags in the first half, at half time in that game you were predicted to win but with Shady not showing up you were pretty much dead in the water.

My RBs let me down badly.

Sproles is making McCoy look a bit silly so far this season.

That was one hell of a shamble of performance. Utterly horrendous.

Did not expect that from the Patriots. At all...like literally, it's the most un-Patriots display you can imagine.

I don't know whether it was the O-line, Tom Brady the receivers, the play calling or a combination of all four, but I think I counted just one completion of throw which travelled more than 10 yards in the air. Most of Tom Brady's yards were short throws and long YACs in garbage time. And that defense...well...it was supposed to be a "bend but don't break defense" but they kept giving up the big play. Run defense for the Patriots has been absolutely atrocious and teams are finding ways to put up the yards on them...which baffles me because you have people like Donte Hightower, Jarad Mayo, Vince Wilfork and Brandon Spikes in that front seven. (Serious question: would you consider them better against the pass or against the run?) The jury's out on Revis...but he won't get too much lee-way, consistently allowing catches.

Patriots fans, is Garropolo the future? And when will that future arrive? I don't believe Brady is finished (despite being a Broncos fan...I hope Brady plays for a while yet)...but it must be an issue weighing heavily, right? I mean, the NFL is a "what have you done for me lately business" and a "what can you do moving forward" one as well. Being benched, no matter how much the team is down, in a blowout, must be a first, however.
