Amazing is a bit far - they're pretty good, nothing special.

Number one D in the NFL without their best player.

They're one of about 8 teams to hold that tag - and lets face it it's measured in yards...in points the #1 D was the Pats.

No great defences out there this year, just a lot of pretty good ones. If they had Watt, maybe they'd be great...but they don't

Poor, poor Andrew Luck.

by GSC Sun 10 Sep 2017, 10:18 pm

I was mildly annoyed by the officiating until they decided to even it out at the end Smile

This DL is legit though, Jernigan straight up murdered a guard and Cousins at one point. Lining up Cox at DE and Graham/Barnett inside is just unfair.

The refs just make **** up game to game. Cousins lobbed a pass to nobody to escape a sack and got away with no grounding. Wentz got a play blown dead for forward progress when he was still going forwards. Meanwhile first series of the Seattle game Wilson lobs a pass into the dirt while being spun backwards by a defender and gets away with it. The standard of reffing will not improve while the NFL damage controls every mistake. Not even mentioning the terrible call on replay that sealed our game.

Speaking of Seattle, their OL somehow gets worse annually. It's going to waste another outstanding defense.

Hard not to wonder if Eli and Marshall are just done. Also speaking of terrible OLs... Dallas didn't play a perfect game but they didn't need to be anywhere close to it.

Too early to put Pagano on the hot seat? I wouldn't bring Luck back this year play with this crap.

Continuing with terrible OLs, Houston... More worrying would be Clowney and Watt doing nothing, Houston needs its star defenders to win games.

Massive massive fan of Blake Bortles consoling Allen Robinson by slapping him on his torn ACL knee multiple times.

by GSC Mon 11 Sep 2017, 10:48 am

To be fair, he was aiming to pat him on the helmet

by skins4ever Mon 11 Sep 2017, 7:23 pm

Well I did say I think the Giants are on the decline (NFS East thread). Manning is on the downslope now and if they can't piece together 2-3 wins in the first 6 weeks then I think they are done.

Pagano has to be a goner. Regardless of how much cap Luck is chewing up, they surely can do better on the rest of the team. The Rams have obviously improved over last season, but the Colts looked woeful.

Quite a few upset results this week, and the Browns showed some mettle ate least. Kizer is going to be on a rocky road this year, but he does look like the first legitimate chance at QB they have had for years.

Maybe JJ Watt can start a fundraiser for a new Texans team?...

by GSC Mon 11 Sep 2017, 8:28 pm

David Johnson looks likely to miss most of the season, with Carson Palmer looking donezo the Cards may be in trouble

by **Pr4wn** Mon 11 Sep 2017, 10:07 pm

Luck has been ruled out for week 2. Looks like Brissett will start. Yuk.

by GSC Mon 11 Sep 2017, 10:18 pm

I would put Luck on IR today.

Why bring him back, that team just got waxed by the Rams

by **Pr4wn** Tue 12 Sep 2017, 1:27 pm

Also, with Sam Darnold coming through, just think of the value they could get for that number one pick.

by GSC Tue 12 Sep 2017, 5:52 pm

Exactly.

The Colts problems begin with Jim Irsay though

by **Pr4wn** Tue 12 Sep 2017, 5:53 pm

David Johnson lands on IR so he's out for at least 8 weeks.

by GSC Thu 14 Sep 2017, 9:40 am

Meanwhile in PFF land, Tom Savage was better on Sunday than Wentz or Prescott

Carson Palmer tied Wentz and was better than Prescott

Football is back roughly until the Texans and Bengals play in primetime.

It's all good - we get the Rams at 49ers next week, and then the Colts at the Seahawks!

by GSC Fri 15 Sep 2017, 10:17 am

Thursday night football needs junking

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Sep 2017, 9:02 pm

Pats gonna be trotting out Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson again soon at this rate

Dorsett, Hogan, Burkhead, Gronk all injured this game

by skins4ever Mon 18 Sep 2017, 12:53 am

I think I have found out a way to help the Skins win. Pick up their opposing teams D in the FFL the week before they play!

On another pleasurable note, the Pokes are getting ripped a new one by the Broncos. Now we just need the Giants to tank... Very Happy

by **Pr4wn** Mon 18 Sep 2017, 1:48 pm

I know it was only the Bears, but I'll take that result.

Sounds like Rams vs 49ers was the game of the season so far...

game of the season if you like watching awful defence/special teams and Jeff Triplette throwing 100 flags

by **Pr4wn** Fri 22 Sep 2017, 1:57 pm

Oh you watched it?

Seeing as gamepass actually got the game up in good time and theres me and one other person in the office - i have seen it

Goff looks a lot better this season tbf

by GSC Fri 22 Sep 2017, 2:02 pm

Helps when you play 2 of the worst 5 teams in the league and the Redskins

by skins4ever Fri 22 Sep 2017, 5:39 pm

Hmm, not the week to be facing Carols Hyde in BOTH FFL teams I have. steam

by crazy_dave23 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 4:34 pm

At the game... terrible performance from Baltimore... only one QB should be benched and his name is not Blake Bortles!

by Number-25 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 5:49 pm

So, the Ravens don't travel well....

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 24 Sep 2017, 7:25 pm

Can someone explain why Philly went for it on 4th and 8 up by 7?

by GSC Sun 24 Sep 2017, 7:35 pm

Because Dougs an idiot.

Not as big an idiot as Marcus Cooper however

by Lowlandbrit Sun 24 Sep 2017, 8:01 pm

Is there a single game making any sort of sense right now?

by Number-25 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 8:36 pm

Just catching up with latest scores... what's going on tonight?? Surprises everywhere!

by crazy_dave23 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 8:50 pm

Eagles

by crazy_dave23 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 8:56 pm

Eagles have already pulled back level, but there's maybe 2 games going "to plan" today and even they are reasonably close ones!

by GSC Sun 24 Sep 2017, 9:11 pm

We've ran out of bodies on defense.

Secondary was already on its knees and now Cox/Hicks have left

by GSC Sun 24 Sep 2017, 9:29 pm

holy s h i t

by GSC Sun 24 Sep 2017, 9:33 pm

Well that game was ****ing mental for about 12 minutes of game

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 24 Sep 2017, 9:45 pm

The NFL was damn good today

Why would Houston not go for a 4th and 1 to end the game rather than give Brady the ball with 2:30 left? Have they not seen Tom Brady play before?

by crazy_dave23 Sun 24 Sep 2017, 9:54 pm

I hate Tom Brady Sad

by GSC Sun 24 Sep 2017, 10:25 pm

Bills going to have to work some magic on that defense though.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 24 Sep 2017, 10:56 pm

GSC wrote:Bills going to have to work some magic on that defense though.

It's seriously in trouble. With Hightower out we have no LBs and it's killing us. Does seem to be a lot of blown coverages and miscommunication which will clear up as the season goes on tho

Offence is gonna need to continue carrying us for the next month or so

by Number-25 Mon 25 Sep 2017, 9:13 am

Well that was pretty tidy by the Redskins last night.

I think that's what you call dominant.

I've always liked Chris Thompson but the guy has been unplayable through the first 3 games. Fair play to Gruden for finding a way of getting the best out of him now that he's calling the plays.

Had to wait until tonight to watch it. Glad I did!

To be honest, while Gruden called a great game, hats off to Manusky. The Redskins D looked more like the Raiders D! Thompson is playing like a guy in his contract year, not one who just signed one. But that D. I haven't seen a Skins D play that well in a game literally for years, maybe even a decade ago!

by skins4ever Fri 29 Sep 2017, 9:11 am

Anyone else seen the Trevathan hit on Adams yet? Sorry, but that should have been an ejection. He aimed with the top of his helmet and had every chance to go lower on the hit. As someone online said, he's going to become the Burfict of the NFC North if he keeps that Poopie up. Thankfully Adams doesn't; appear to have been seriously injured, though I bet he's in concussion protocol for at least 2 weeks.

by GSC Fri 29 Sep 2017, 10:21 am

Time to cut bait on Glennon. He sucks, see what Trubisky can do.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 29 Sep 2017, 10:26 am

GSC wrote:Time to cut bait on Glennon. He sucks, see what Trubisky can do.

Yep. It's not like they have a horrible O-line either, and they have some decent enough weapons. Not the worst situation for Trubisky and there is literally no point in him sitting behind Glennon - just waiting time in his career

by GSC Fri 29 Sep 2017, 10:32 am

Their receivers are terrible but yeah, every snap Glennon takes is a waste from here on in.

by GSC Sun 01 Oct 2017, 8:08 pm

Patriots D currently getting smacked by an offense that got smacked by the Saints D

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 01 Oct 2017, 9:25 pm

Pats D has got serious serious issues. It's taking Brady playing ridiculously well to even keep us in games, they're that bad.

If it's not better after Thursday, I'd consider switching Patricia and giving Bill the duties. The issues are communication/coverage breakdowns. This shouldn't be happening regularly in week 4. Horrible horrible coaching.
