[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I still dream of Sudfeld and Gronk over the middle Dave  

[GSC]

August All Star

[crazy_dave23]

Oh Jeff Tuel... look what you've done

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

To be fair to Tuel, that is a god awful playcall. A WR screen on the goalline? That's just asking to be picked off

[CFCNick]

What does it mean if, whilst watching hockey (and not even my team), I had to google to see who the Giants were playing today, and then saw they're on a bye?  

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Oh my word New Orleans a end around on 4th and inches really? REALLY?!

[crazy_dave23]

Redzone definitely coming in handy at the moment

[BamBam]

Definitely!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Christian Ponder's hail mary throw didn't even make it to the end zone. Love it

[mikeygnfl]

Those two Saints vs Panthers games look like they could be interesting.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Especially if that Panthers D can get the pressure on Brees that the Jets did today Mikey.

Nice start to the game by the Pats, Gronk's back

[BamBam]

Seahawks 

[BamBam]

I'm probably going to regret it in 2 hours or so but  

[mikeygnfl]

Seahawks 

Unbeatable at home...

[Pr4wn]

Can someone please confirm that I'm not dreaming please.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Just got on Seattle big time, ages left lets not go overboard just yet...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

GRONKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[BamBam]

Is it just me or does Gronk look a bit quicker than he did before?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I dunno Bambam, he's always been pretty quick for a big guy, guess he's just proper healthy now rather than banged up like he was before.

Love the Steelers gameplan to just not cover Amendola. It's interesting

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If there's a better thrower on the run than Russell Wilson then I'd like to see it. My word he's majestic

[GSC]

Hey soddy

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Since when did Nick Foles become Peyton Manning

[Pr4wn]

Here come the real Buccaneers...

[mikeygnfl]

Talking of QBs Mike Glennon is quietly getting on with it for the Buccaneers. 8 TDs in five games and only 3 INTs. Not too bad for a rookie.

[GSC]

Nick Foles is one TD away from glory.

I might wee myself from laughing if it happens

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ninkovich now down injured. FFS

[BamBam]

Gee, I wonder if the Seahawks would have turned the ball over if they gave the ball to Lynch there?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Talk about a momentum shift.

Gregory also off injured, we'll do well to have a defence in a minute

[Guest]

My god this raiders defense has just taken a huge step backwards today. They were the difference last week and have just been smoked repeatedly today. Hayden has had a nightmare

on the other side of the ball we need to cut our ties with McFadden. The guy is never going to be healthy, even when he is hes not exactly brilliant anyway. Overall though our offense isnt good enough. Cant sustain a drive to save their lives

[GSC]

Haydens wearing his slippers on ice

[Pr4wn]

Buccaneers about to throw this one away too.

[mikeygnfl]

Cotchery just got his third TD of the day.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Oh that was beautiful

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

To say the Texans are hot at the minute would be an understatement

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Eugh get Mark Hunter off my TV screen Channel 4

[mikeygnfl]

The Texans are getting to Andrew Luck to easy. It's the Chargers game all over again.

[GSC]

Probably as rough a day as you'll see from a CB for DJ Hayden

[GSC]

Pryor had his moments but on the whole his decision making has to speed up. Held the ball too long

[sodhat]

Hey soddy

I don't get why you won't get on the Foles band wagon. I've seen him start several games and he does a good job!

For once I can't say "well, it was only the Raiders D" because we've been good this year. Hayden got smoked, Jenkins couldn't make a play without interfering with someone, and there was no pass rush to speak of.

Offensively we actually look better with Jennings running the ball than with DMC. Pryor needs more time to stand in the pocket if he'll ever be a proper passing QB. He gets flushed constantly and even though he can make crazy plays with his legs he can't just rely on doing that when we're being battered on the scoreboard.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Randy Bullock is easily the worst kicker in the NFL

[sodhat]

Ten 4th quarter comebacks for Luck in 1 and a half years...

[NYJ]

Geno Smith has 4 in 9 games.  

It says a lot about the types of games the Colts are winning. I feel like they are the anti-Panthers. Both teams have close games but the Colts always seem to pull it out the bag and the Panthers always seem to just miss out and lose. The Colts are very lucky. Whether that's Andrew Luck or the other kind of luck, I don't know.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It's good to see the Chargers are still the Chargers. Lost 3 games in the dying seconds this season

NYJ how bout dem Jets?! Mo Wilkerson is a machine, but your secondary is a bit iffy I think

[sodhat]

Hard to pick on the Jets secondary too much, Jimmy Graham is pretty unstoppable and Brees is elite, and they still only allowed 20 points.

The Chargers have been unlucky this year. They are a decent team and may have had a wild card shot in a different division. As it is they will play the Broncos 2 times and the Chiefs 2 times. Plus they lost to the Raiders so if they aren't winning out of the division, they're doomed.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Also did anyone see Richie Incognito trying to clear his name of bullying Jonathan Martin, by bullying Adam Schefter and the media on twitter

You couldn't make this stuff up

I think they had one of their best games yesterday but other than that, our secondary has been pretty poor. Wilkerson and co. have been hiding it but we are very susceptible to the deep ball. Dee Milliner has been terrible and constantly gives up big plays. He's been benched several times and his replacement, undrafted Darrin Walls, has done well but never been given the start when Milliner's healthy.

Wilkerson was great last season (snubbed by the Pro Bowl) and has taken it up another level this year. 8 sacks in 9 games which matches his first two years production. Yesterday, he beat a double team and nailed Drew Brees. He's special.

As always, when we can move the ball on offense (particularly on the ground), we win the game.

Whatever the truth is this situation is a total mess. I expect it will all come out eventually after the inevitable drip feed of information.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wow that is something special. My word.

Seems Incognito has issues man. Kicked out by Nebraska, shoved away by two NFL teams, has a hate rookies/taxes thing on his locker, but Miami obviously made him a captain...

[BamBam]

Apparently that nice Mr Incognito, worthy captain of the Miami Dolphins, threatened to Poopie in Jonathan Martin's mouth and harm his family.
