The NFL Thread

Yup. The Giants, Bengals, Eagles and Steelers won't be easy.

 

The Saints defence were an absolute joke last night!

I am blaming them for my hangover! They forced me to drink.

 

JJ Watt on IR with designation to return.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, I feel so sorry for him

 

Forgot all about the Wembley game today

 

forgot to put Matt Ryan in my team....ffs.....having a stormer already.....

 

You're beating me by a fair bit so I don't think it will matter! I'm doing alright, I'd be beating anyone else but of course I'm up against you and Julio.

 

Sickening losing like that.

But imagine not scoring any points

 

Can't believe we still managed to win that game. I expected the worst, but somehow we ended up winning this. now at 3-1

 

Jets are not much better

 

I'd be upset about the Pats scoring no points if we were playing our Starting QB, or 2nd string QB, or healthy 3rd string QB.

 

Come in from a game I was out watching and it was half through the 2nd quarter. The atmosphere was like a wake in comparison to the other games I saw yesterday. Shows you how sanitised our sporting events have made over the years. 80,000 plus attendance. Yet all that could be mustered was sporadic applause and cheering when a big play or touchdown was scored. Followed by silence that you could hear all the on field chatter clear as day.

I wonder what the American fans think of it

 

Par for the course surely, I've never tuned into an NFL game and thought 'wow, what an atmosphere'. Maybe a few of those college games that get crazy 100k crowds, but not the pros.

 

That is a big and legit road win over a good Baltimore side for the Raiders. Given how bad the defense has been over the first few weeks of the season I was not expecting anything other then a defeat in this one. But credit Carr who has lived up to all expectations so far this season and of course Crabtree with his hat trick of TD catches. The defense was a little better but not that much. That is what worries me right now. The team is too dependant on Carr, Cooper and Crabtree to put up big numbers. The defense needs to start stepping up. Having said all that the Chargers at home is a real shot at going 4-1 to start the season and that is heady territory considering how long I have been watching the Raiders lose and often lose badly.

 

this is the first time they start 3-1 since i have been watching closely. can't believe it.. after like 10 years of embarrassments, defeats and catastrophes the team looks so good I can't believe. the future is silver and black!

 

Vikings are 4-0... :brendy:

 

Was watching a bit of NFL now this morning, love how they just show you all the highlights really quick.

That guy Crowell(?) is it? Like lightning!

 

La'el Collins has been placed on IR by Dallas, although Dez Bryant may be back soon. 49ers Navarro Bowman is done for the season, after picking up an Achillies injury.

Ravens have released Justin Forsett for the 2nd time.

 

Lets hope so. The defense will need some substantial improvement though if the Raiders are to be a real threat in the playoffs this season. Having said that though considering the Raiders have not even reached the playoffs or had a winning season even since 2002 this 3-1 start is one to enjoy.

 

Great start, hopefully the defense can keep playing well. Will have a dip as the season goes on but can see the offence getting better week by week. Patterson will get more involved throughout the season, if we can get him back to his rookie season form then he can help us out massively both on offence and special teams...SKOL

 

Julio was just insane....i would have been gutted to lose that game after his performance. Matt Ryan will be inserted back in the line up ASAP.....
