Honestly, we're as much of a shambles. That's 2 weeks running now, and 3rd time in total this season Patricia has had 10 men on defense which lead to giving up a touchdown. Last week he even rolled with 9 men. Some boy!

Shocking officiating in the Texans game. Allowed a 75 yard touchdown for Houston to stand, even though the play clock expired 3 seconds before the play🤪

The poor jags are shat on without a blink of an eye. Terrible. 

Did you see that big 300 pound linesman diving last week, when his opposition gave him a wee shove. This was me, and the ref just pfft him. Shocking.

 

When I remember the game I'll get back to you.

I couldn't believe my eyes. It was last Sunday early game on sky. I'll remember later. 

 

 

What about the Steelers, do you think Big Ben will keep the heid enough to win it or will he be his usual wild self?

I’ve got Gamepass, so can go back and watch any game.

Unless you want a laugh, wouldn't bother going back to any Washington game. Should be on comedy or horror channel.

Haskins is causing trouble behind the scenes. Washington need to get rid asap. 

 

And they need to put a new name in place pronto. Football team is pathetic.

It was tight end Vance McDonald that has tested positive for covid, Big Ben, Jaylen Samuels, Vince Williams and Jerald Hawkins had all been in close contact, all are in 5 day isolation until Saturday, if they test negative on the multiple covid tests required then they will be able to play Sunday against the Bengals.

Not a fitting act to partner a Dolphins win, frankly.

[neilnunb]

Those Dolphins 🐬🔥🔥🔥

 

Having said that, looks like the Bills have pinched another win.

 

 

[neilnunb]

Unreal. Just when it looked liked the Bills had pinched it, Arizona go up and take it with superb catch. 😯😯😯

Raiders v Chiefs next week. Very tasty.

Told you that your mob would win. Washington finding new way to lose each week. Conceding penalty, regardless of closeness of call, is sign of Ill discipline and poor coaching. 

Can't even be bothered checking to see who beats us next weekend. 

[Locky]

Thankfully I had the Bills vs Cardinals match on in the background while watching the Seahawks, and better yet, switched my full attention to it just in time to see each of those late touchdowns. Unbelievable finish!

 

As for the Seahawks, ****ing murder. Game management was poor, and Russell Wilson was poor. Too many rookie mistakes, especially from Wilson who is far from a rookie. DK Metcalf didn't do too badly, he just wasn't really made to get involved in many of the plays and he's clearly the biggest threat. Cardinals at Seahawks on Thursday night/Friday morning which could be interesting.

 

I'm off on Friday, dare I stay up for it.

Mixed emotions from me. Good to win but keeps the clown in a job for another week.

Steelers train just keeps a rollin, 9-0 with only really hard games left being Ravens away (week 11) and bills at home (week 13), just need to start picking up on our run game down the stretch and could be a very good season

Play of the week from Nick Chubb, a perfect example of a team player👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

 - Dolphins now on a 5 game win streak

 - Bills lose

 - Texans lose and their pick moves up in draft

 

Pretty much a perfect weekend for us Miami fans!

Don't discount the Jags this weekend, they ran GB close yesterday.

We have the proverbial bullseye on our back now.

 

Agree about the lack of a run threat. Can’t decide if the line just can't run-block or if it's down to Conner but am inclined to go with the former.

Yup, only have to look at the Bills to see how quickly it can all unfold. It was an incredible weekend of drama.

Seahawks vs Cardinals at 1.20am, and I'm full of good intentions to stay up for it. Massive game really, and Seahawks need to really avoid a 3 game losing streak coming into this part of the season. Recently found out my wee brother has been into NFL for ages and likes Seahawks too, so that's me sold on them. 

 

Honestly can't believe that 4 weeks ago, I'd never watched NFL and now I'm honestly hooked. I get genuinely excited about being able to watch a game.

Well don't ever watch washington, they'll soon put you back off again. From Kings to amateur in the space of 60 minutes, and not in a fun way. Sigh!

I have an uncle in Seattle so I had considered following them. While they were successful and even won the Super Bowl during that time, they were absolutely turgid to watch.

 

I regret that decision to this day.

Last couple of Seattle performances have sort of went that way. Just slowly fading out the game. Held on for dear life a bit last night.

First few times I watched them they were quite exciting, but last night and Sunday showed that they sure like to make it hard for themselves. Injuries didn't help last night either mind you.

Just wait until you get into fantasy NFL, I thought I was an avid fan but once I got into fantasy it took to another level, the kickback IDP league has 50 man squads with individual defence, can easily get into the wormhole researching form, positions how well opposition do against the run/pass etc

Anyone know how to watch highlights of last night's game on sky? Scheduled highlights for 3pm but is there any available now? Or am I better just going through YouTube?

 

Thursday night game highlights with my breakfast coffee going forward would be ideal!

 

Edit: Found them! 

 

Edit edit: As a Wilson and Metcalf owner I'm not impressed with all the running plays.

Every game has highlights on YouTube, usually around 15 minutes per match.
