Week 5 discussion thread

[GSC]

First topic message reminder :

An absolute battering for the Cards in St Louis as they become mortal. OL problems really beginning to hurt them as Kolb's been taken down 17 times in the past 2 games.

Rams above .500 for the first time since 2006.

[GSC]

Wilson follows up a pick 6 with another INT. In a game the Seahawks were up 6-3 in thats criminal.

Carroll has to accept that Wilson is costing the Seahawks games and Flynn represents the best chance of Seattle winning

[Take it to the house]

I'm liking how the Vikings are playing...

[Take it to the house]

What a play by Harvin! But the Titans can't tackle to save their lives! How can a whole team be so bad at tackling?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Someone tell me why on earth the Patriots didn't punt on that 4th and 5 at midfield?

Some of the coaching in this league is mind blowing, now Denver are back in this unnecessarily

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

And then Denver do the stupidest kickoff ever! It's crazy!

[Colan (niner)]

niners just put on the most perfect showing they possibly can.

Over 300 yards passing!

Over 300 yards rushing!

two 100 yard receivers!

a 100 yard rusher!

And only 3 points allowed and a near perfect qb rating for Smith. The offense is starting to actually scare teams now and it's even more amazing to think that Moss, A.J Jenkins and LaMichael James are still in reserve. Can't wait for the home game vs the Giants next week, there will be some nice revenge and I hope they let Smith air it out. Oh, and Kaepernick is the fastest qb in the NFL bar RG3 and Vick, they guy is so quick and elusive, and there isn't a more ripped qb either, shouldn't fumble being as big as that. 5 of the next 6 at home too.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

That Buffalo defence that had so much money spent on it over the off season, has given up 97 points in two weeks. Wow.

[mikeygnfl]

Plus the 40 odd points they gave up to the mighty... NY Jets!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

God how could we forget that!

Must really suck to be a Bills fan at the moment, especially knowing you gave a rubbish QB, a Top 10 QB contract extension after he had a couple of good games last year

[GSC]

So Brees sets a new NFL for consecutive games with a TD.

The streak kinda lost its meaning for me when he extended it vs the Rams down 17 with 6 seconds to go tho.

[Number-25]

49ers really do look scary just now. The Vikings game aside, they've been the most impressive team so far this season for my money. Buffalo do seem to stink this year though. They're starting to remind me of the Redskins - doesn't matter how much money you throw at the team, they're still gonna suck. Is Mario Williams the new Dana Stubblefield/Dan Wilkinson/Bruce Smith/Albert Haynesworth????

[GSC]

Teams have been scoring for fun on the Bills tho. Even the Jets did it.

Texans have been the best so far for me

[Number-25]

Yep, Texans have been impressive too. Hard to split them and the 49ers for me and maybe it's my slight NFC bias that is making me choose the 9ers.

Bad night for my Redskins last night. Was feeling about low about it after the game but woke up this morning with that familiar feeling that all us Redskins have around this time of the season, i.e. the season is in the can so let's look forward to next year cos it might be better (even though we know it won't be since we're doomed to recurring failure for evermore!). I always like it when I reach this level of acceptance about how kack we are. The earlier in the season I get to this point, the more I usually enjoy as it saves me from feeling too disappointed with every defeat that comes our way. 5-11 here we come!!!! Aaahhhh feels good!

[Colan (niner)]

I agree the Texans are good but they haven't played anyone yet apart from Denver, so much like the 49ers, I'll wait until they play some contenders, won't play a good D until week 7. 49ers have Giants on Sunday and the Texans have Green Bay and Baltimore week 6 and seven. Texans have 4 of next 5 games at home and niners have 5 of next 6

[Pr4wn]

Not exaggerating but Andrew Luck looks truly special.

[Colan (niner)]

got a question that doesn't really apply right now, does anyone know if sky shows the Thursday night games again on Friday at some point. I already know I can't stay up for it but really want to catch the 49ers/Seattle game the next day. I'm pretty sure they must, even if it's just a long 2 or 2 and a half hour highlights package

They did last week, I watched the game at 6pm on Friday evening

It was only an hour long highlights package though

[Colan (niner)]

thats good enough for me, thanks. I could record the game but wouldn't be able to watch the entire thing until Sunday and I know I'd hear of the result by then even if I try to avoid it

[sodhat]

I've just checked because I didn't want to be responsible for terrible information - and the next game is in an hour long highlights package at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon, so keep an eye out when the 9ers come around because it looks like they move it about.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Tonight it is the 666th Monday Night Football.

Tim Tebow is looking likely to play some part.

You couldn't make this stuff up

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rich Cimini ‏@RichCimini
Tebow spending extra time throwing with QBs coach Matt Cavanaugh. Hmm. #Jets

IT'S TEBOW TIME BABY!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Who is up for MNF tonight then?

[mikeygnfl]

At last another TD scorer bet up with Daniels. That puts me up to a profit of £13 for the C4 & BBC games.

[crazy_dave23]

Lovely running from the Texans in the first half... glad that they won out because the Jets didn't deserve anything
