Great win for the Lions after a shocker last week.

 

Bills v Jags for me tonight, buzzing for it!

Another late night game for the Bills this week, too late/early for me to stay up for so will be highlights in the morning.

 

After a poor weekend of the Hearts, yesterday was much better with the news about Naismith, then the Hibernian Dolphins getting spanked again.

Not late for me, I'll be in attendance 😎

Well, I guess there had to be a follower of the no SuperBills out there somewhere.

Knew Jayden Daniels was a great talent as I love LSU but **** me if you gave Stevie Wonder that much time to find someone I'm sure he'd do alright.

 

Can't see a win anywhere

Punt recovery TD for the Falcons against the Saints

 

[PortyJambo]

Washington now with 16 straight scoring drives, any fans of theirs must be happy with what they're seeing from their new QB Daniels and their offence. 

[PortyJambo]

The "revitalised" Jets and their ageless QB...manage only 3 FG's against the woeful Broncos and lose 10-9 😜

[Ribble]

Disappointing from the steelers but made bareable by watching it with numerous pints in hooters and then millers ale house, the us certainly knows how to do sports bars!

Bounced back well though

I think we have a real star on our hands, fingers crossed.

Great start for the kid. From what I've seen, no glaring deficiencies in the roster either. Got to be favourites for the division.

Not so sure about that. The secondary is pretty weak at corner back. 

[cotter]

Bills doing what Bills do, look good for a few games, then have a disaster.  Hopefully thats the worst out the way, and they kick on.

 

Was actually pretty decent, with the Bills being a late (early morning UK) game, I watched red zone last night.  Some of the games were fantastic end to end stuff.  Need to make more a habit of watching that.

Oh we are very happy with how things are going. Shame Mr Ri isn't about as Commanders were one of few things that united us, other than HMFC.

Dallas and Eagles will still be difficult games though.

They have the look of being the Houston Texans like surprise package of this season.

Turns out the Dolphins game is actually on Sky Sports Mix...however, so far I'm wishing it wasn't! 🤣😑

Bedtime. I can have nightmares there without watching this shite. 🤣

Lovely stuff by the Lions. St. Brown throws to Goff for a touchdown

We looked superb offensively but the tackling and secondary is cause for concern, so weak.

Luckily I didn't stay up to watch it, the last few weeks have made me not want to subject myself to the painful viewing they are just now.

 

Apparently we're the first team since the 0-16 Browns in 2017 to have never held a lead through 4 games...and we have the look of an 0-16 team's ineptitude! 

 

McDaniel has to be feeling some heat now, losing Tua and looking this bad is not a sign of good coaching.

Honestly one of the worst games I've watched. Neither team offered anything until the Titans broke through for a touchdown. That's when I decided to go to bed as Miami were clueless. Seems I made the right decision.

 

A LOT of booing from the stands throughout.

 

The media seem to like McDaniel because he's a bit different. He just makes me think of Ian Cathro. He comes across as awkward in most his interviews although last night he did look like he was feeling the pressure.

 

Time to bin. 😁

[Sooperstar]

For me McDaniel has done a good job in the circumstances. 1st choice QB in and out with injury for the past 2 seasons and down to 3rd choice QB last night. What's he going to do, suit up and throw the ball himself?

I like him. Last year was a lot of fun until it fell apart, mostly through injuries to so many players.

 

But he's losing me a bit this season with not being able to make up for losing Tua. Yes, any team would struggle when down to your 3rd string QB (or even lower than that, seeing as Huntley was picked up off of the Ravens practice squad), but he doesn't seem to have been able to make the rest of the roster step up. Tyreek Hill is dropping passes or standing watching a lateral pass bounce around on the grass instead of going after it, Waddle seems to be playing with an injury, the OL is a mess (through lack of intent to improve it). The D is doing ok with the new co-ordinator, but the offense is not giving them any help at all, and that's meant to be McDaniel's expertise.

 

I'm not ready to bin him...don't know if I can take another rebuild! He needs to start earning his offensive "genius" tag though.

[PortyJambo]

Just to add on the Dolphins and McDaniel. I've heard from someone in the US who has "insider" knowledge (and it's genuine) that Ross isn't happy at all at the moment, he especially hates being embarrassed in Prime Time games (like the TNF and MNF games we've played, plus the ones last season) and McDaniel's leash is likely a lot shorter than many realise.

 

Not just McDaniel either, but also the GM Grier, who is arguably more to blame (not investing in the interior OL, not having a credible backup QB, signing an injured OBJ who's been on IR so far)

Perception is a big thing too. If you're going to rock up to games driving a Bentley, flashing a Gucci belt and carrying a £3k rucksack then you'd better back all that shit up.

 

He's very much style over substance, and from some of the locker room videos...a very uninspiring individual.

 

You might be able to tell I don't like the guy 😂

Didn’t even realize in the moment that Goff broke a record with 18 out of 18 complete passes.

Does it ever with the Lions? 😂

 

In the defence of the defense, they were on the field a lot due to us scoring very quickly on offensive drives. I suspect they were gassed.

Loads saying to the Chiefs, no chance they’re trading with them. Rodgers will be pleading with the Jets to go get him, would think he’d be well up for that. Bills should have a go at him, but not sure Adams would want Buffalo.

I'm going Steelers or Commanders.

 

Lot of folk touting us but I just don't see it. He isn't a culture fit whatsoever, just not the type of guy Holmes or Campbell would want in the dressing room.

Commanders would be a great fit with Daniels chucking it. Wouldn’t think he’d want the Steelers…both QB’s not great

As usual with the NFL he might not get much if any say.

Saints have $2.7m in cap space, so like the Bills they'd need to get very creative and likely overpay with picks in order for the Raiders to take on majority of his salary.

Saints maybe thinking they have a shot at the big one with Davante on the roster. I think he’s desperate to continue his bromance though

The Dolphins pass rusher, Jaelan Phillips, out for the season with a knee injury. Miami can't buy a break. Can we just start the draft now?

That's crap for him, especially after last season. 😐
