Tackle Donald Penn just gets a TD. Nice play by the Bucs.

by mikeygnfl Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:57 pm

The Dolphins players seem nice boxing

One happy Bucs fan here. Got my Revis jersey signed by the man himself after he caught the game winning interception.

Nice, you picked the right game to travel for. Hope you had a blast.

Texans expected to release Ed Reed today.

This is two days after he said they got out-coached.

Someone will pick him up

Other news from around the league

Dwayne Bowe got done for speeding and marijuana possession. Real clever

Kyle Williams cut by the 49ers

Jermichael Finley to undergo neck surgery on Thursday. Potentially career ending

If he goes, along with Nick Collins a few years back, then the Pack will have lost two very talented components to career ending neck injuries

Finley's the most talented guy to never do anything of all time

by GSC Tue Nov 12, 2013 2:39 pm

The Ravens made some funky decisions this offseason, letting Reed walk wasn't one of them. Injuries taken their toll

Wow, that's excellent. I seen some Jets fans were abusing him on twitter but I have nothing but love for the man. Great player, leader and professional.

Jared Cook?

by GSC Tue Nov 12, 2013 5:35 pm

I give it to Finley on account of having Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball

by **Pr4wn** Tue Nov 12, 2013 6:10 pm

He was a gent too. As were Vincent Jackson and Gerald McCoy. Gerald was clearly absolutely exhausted and he was attending a party in honour of Warren Sapp who got out in the ring of honour at half time. McCoy still came out to talk to fans and sign autographs. Very nice bloke.

Oh, and I have a FIELD PASS for the Bucs vs Falcons game on Saturday...

by TM Moot Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:56 am

sounds a great trip Pr4wn... see, we told you the Bucs would beat the 'Phins

by sodhat Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:09 am

What are the American fans like Pr4wn?

I'm going to Dallas in a few weeks and I'll catch the Raiders/Cowboys while I'm there. It's a debate between me and two of my friends whether I'd get beaten up for wearing Raiders gear in among all the Cowboys...

by **Pr4wn** Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:21 am

There were loads of dolphins fans mixed in the crowd and I didn't see any trouble at all. Everyone gets drunk together before the game while tailgating and it's just a fantastic atmosphere. Nothing like an English footy match.

You will be severely outnumbered in Dallas but any trash talking is all in good spirits, especially when they find out you've come all the way from the UK to watch their sport...

by GSC Wed Nov 13, 2013 11:59 am

Dallas fans are notoriously fairweather anyway, you'll be fine

by GSC Thu Nov 14, 2013 11:32 am

The Jets will sign Ed Reed. Dude should've gone out on top like Ray

by NYJ Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:45 pm

GSC wrote:The Jets will sign Ed Reed. Dude should've gone out on top like Ray

That's why he's coming to the Jets. Wink

I think it's a decent signing. We need help at Safety, Rex knows him well from his time in Baltimore and we have a very young defense that his veteran leadership can help keep in check.

Some interesting stories over the last couple of days.

The Bills complaining to the NFL about unfairness in the scheduling after bye weeks. Maybe the best solution would be to have eight bye weeks with each division taking it in turns then follow each bye week with divisional games.

Adrian Peterson has also said he would like to stay with the Vikings but knows the NFL is a business which revisits the 'Vikings to trade Peterson' rumours from a few weeks ago. Peterson to the Cowboys for Rome anyone?

Meanwhile Richie Incognito has filed a grievance against the Dolphins.

by mikeygnfl Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:00 pm

Onto the Chiefs vs Broncos game, Andy Reid is 13-1 after the bye week. The one loss though was last season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:01 pm

If I'm Kansas I take the 15 yard penalty and I attack Manning's ankles early

by BamBam Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:03 pm

I don't think Andy Reid would want to suffer my wrath if he ruined my fantasy season

by GSC Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:28 pm

Andys not going to go bush league on Peyton.

Dez Bryant is a legend!
He bought people PS4's!

Shame the Cowboys don't recognise his talent to feed him the ball on a regular basis. He should have Megatron and Marshall-esque target numbers.

by **Pr4wn** Sun Nov 17, 2013 8:59 am

Just about to leave for Raymond James Stadium, got my field pass! Will report back tonight.

by Number-25 Sun Nov 17, 2013 1:01 pm

Oh well, here we go, 6pm on a Sunday evening..... another night of pain for Redskins fans is about to begin. I wonder what creative way of losing we'll comeup with tonight.

by Breadvan Sun Nov 17, 2013 1:10 pm

Go jags! 4th and 1 to the house for their first home TD this season. Lol..

The kit Pittsburg are wearing is horrible, they look like over grown bubble bees

i'd term it as "bumble bee prisoners"... I've seen worse uni's

by Number-25 Sun Nov 17, 2013 1:40 pm

Ah looks like there will be nothing fancy about our method of losing tonight. Just going with the traditional method that all bad teams tend to favour of crap offense and crap defense from the outset. Go Redskins!

by Lowlandbrit Sun Nov 17, 2013 1:43 pm

Seems the Windy City is a little too windy right now: game stopped right now and stands being cleared out because of a nearby tornado.

by crazy_dave23 Sun Nov 17, 2013 2:05 pm

what is Greg Schiano doing... fake FG, Punter Pass?

by mikeygnfl Sun Nov 17, 2013 2:29 pm

With the Jaguars and the Buccaneers threatening not to suck as much, no 1 pick in the draft is up for grabs.

Nice to see Ray Rice and Larry Fitzgerald this week.

It appears you are their lucky mascot. You should see if they can get you on their roster for a late Super Bowl run.

by mikeygnfl Sun Nov 17, 2013 2:33 pm

I picked Rainey up in a few fantasy leagues and left him on the bench. One of them already had 30 points on it from Chris Johnson and Coby Fleener from Thursday.

by BamBam Sun Nov 17, 2013 2:51 pm

Calvin Johnson is just ridiculous

by crazy_dave23 Sun Nov 17, 2013 2:52 pm

nice to see Shady McCoy back from a little injury scare earlier

Let my hear rule my head and left Foles on the bench. Not regretting that much right now... Rolling Eyes

by Guest Sun Nov 17, 2013 3:05 pm

This McGloin has looked pretty decent for us in Priors absence

by Number-25 Sun Nov 17, 2013 3:27 pm

It really must sting Dan Snyder to know that 4 years into Mike Shanahan's 5 year $35m contract, this team is possibly worse than it was at the end of the Jim Zorn era. The offense is no better from week to week although is more capable of putting together a big game every so often but the defense is infinitely worse.

by Lowlandbrit Sun Nov 17, 2013 3:27 pm

Out of all the lousy teams this season, the Falcons are the one that puzzle me the most.

by adams_legend Sun Nov 17, 2013 3:29 pm

Geno smith is having a nightmare of a game, who ever has buffalo defence in fantasy is going to be scoring big points

by GSC Sun Nov 17, 2013 4:04 pm

This is why you don't stop playing in the third quarter

by Number-25 Sun Nov 17, 2013 4:12 pm

Oh I wouldn't be too worried if i were you GSC. Remember, this is the Redskins....

by Number-25 Sun Nov 17, 2013 4:14 pm

And there you have it GSC... that's why you didn't need to worry - the Redskins will always kill themselves with a dumbass penalty. Nice work Garcon.

Aaaand they're 10 points down to the Steelers with a little over 2 minutes to go.

Looks like Prawn has brought the Buccs some luck
