    Crazy that the Dolphins even started this season with Philbin in charge. Not only that, they gave him a contract extension during the off season just so he didn't seem like a lame duck Head Coach. Which is what he clearly was.

    The Dolphins have essentially wasted a season in my view. They may still somehow scramble into the play-offs but their chances of doing anything if they get there are much less than they would have been had they fired Philbin in the summer and made a fresh start with a new Head Coach.

    Kyle Shanahan must be an early candidate for the job. He is one of the best offensive co-ordinators out there so maybe he could be the man to help Ryan Tannehill and the talented wide receivers the Dolphins have reach their potential.

    I need Russell Wilson to get under 9.5 points tonight to win my fantasty football match up.

    I'm estimating it's around a 1% chance?

    I bet Russel Wilson over 40.5 rushing yards in the game 5/6.

    He has 43 yards and kneels it twice at the end of the game. They take -1 off him for the first knee and -2 for the second! How the * does that work? I actually feel robbed! No doubt if he was on 44 yards it would of been -2 and -2.

    What a joke!!

    Pretty much my reasoning as well. Thought it was pretty tame effort and don't see why they even bother if that's the standard.

    I was * with injuries this week mate, you got lucky! Any other week I'd of probably win convincingly.

    Kam Chancellor is a scary human, his hit on Calvin Johnson last night was unreal. Two massive men and Kam hardly budged. Then that play at the end just superman punching the ball out... Ooft.

    With Scobee the Jags could be 3-1. Not too bothered though, we're not a threat this year and as long as there is progress (and a new kicker if this one doesn't work out) then I'm a happy one.

    Rumours that the Ravens are interested in Roddy White or Golden Tate.

    Golden Tate - Aye.
    Roddy White - Naw.

    So why have the Texans D turned to *? JJ Watt and a fit Clowney should be enough to see them dominate O lines, add into that they picked up Wilfork.

    I didn't watch the game last night so I can't comment but they just seem to be getting smashed every single week.

    Or is it the fact that because they were on hard knocks they were over hyped?

    Just went nuts on Aliexpress and bought 13 NFL hats. For me and a few mates, all look good and I got £2 off each hat for ordering more than 10.

    Just playing the waiting game now and waiting 5 weeks to see if they're * or not. The last ones I got were really good.

    For anyone that wants a look http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Sport-Hats/1630777_504628885.html

    Did you get it off aliexpress? I've ordered 6 hats so far and they've all been of perfect quality.

    Saying that, all the NFL stuff I've ordered off Aliexpress has been class. Much better than the football shirts.

    Same the only bad product I've had was my Celtic top.

    The NFL shirts are really good quality because the numbers are stitched rather than the transfers.

    That's also a problem with the site, a seller will sell for a while, then open up a new store selling the same stuff, it's a bit strange like that.
