Been watching NFL for about 5 years now. Feels like anytime a team gets a chance to beat them in 4th quarter they shit the bed and give away penalties galore.

good games so far today!

I'm not really up on nfl tv rights in the states, but I'm surprised vikings/bears is on cbs. thought fox still had the nfc.

Trubisky off injured. Bears offence immediately kicks into life.

Oh yeah - Patriots plays the Skins next week.... that's 0-5 in the books.

What the fuck is going on with the Rams!?

55-40 is ridiculous.

Saints keep winning without Brees, wasn't expecting them to beat Dallas.

That's Scorigami!! It's the 1050th unique final score in NFL history.

Defence is coming up trumps because Bridgewater, whilst not the worst backup QB, never looks like driving in a touchdown. Last week there were two defensive touchdowns and this week it was a field goal victory.

Kirk Cousins is a fraud. 4-31 against teams with a winning record.

Bears smothered him.

From a Bills exec: “It’s Patriots week, and the fact that we have to contemplate if some fan is going to throw a dildo on the field is ridiculous.”

Garrus · « **Reply #54091 on:** September 30, 2019, 03:14:11 pm »

This is the kind of stuff that goes on at a Bills tailgate so he was right to be concerned:

They had been a dildo on the field for the past few years, pity that 'tradition' wasn't continued.

What about the other dude that does the exact same thing, only later?

Also, its not a late hit as the TE wasn't down by contact, it's just because of leading with his head.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #54095 on:** September 30, 2019, 04:57:06 pm »

It wasn't late it was just dirty. Fuck him.

Was this same game or another game, haven't seen that one, think the problem with Burfict is that he's a serial offender with these type of incidents on the field

Its the same incident! Burfict goes in with his head, then his teammate - I think Joyner - comes in and does the exact same thing.

Like you said though, its because its Burfict.

I see, surprised Joyner didn't get penalised as well, but it's Burfict leads in first, funny thing is Burfict almost takes out his own player too.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #54099 on:** September 30, 2019, 05:11:58 pm »

That's brown and burfict done now then unless an appeal succeeds. Just need incognito to do something mental now for the treble.

There were a lot of very nasty helmet hits this weekend. Surely this can't be the only one

As i've said a lot of it is to do with Burfict's previous history, something like his 13th or 14th time, & had to pay $4.2 million in total, in fines over the years, there's a reason why he went undrafted.

Red Viper · « **Reply #54102 on:** September 30, 2019, 05:23:59 pm »

He went off laughing and smiling at fans as well. Straight after injuring a player. Good riddance.

Statto Red · « **Reply #54103 on:** September 30, 2019, 05:24:14 pm »

Breaking now Burfict has been suspended for the rest of the season

Oh I saw that without sound. Proper bellend. Someone who's delightedly blowing kisses when potentially having seriously damaged someones brain, and also harmed his teams chances, should be hated universally by not just the opposition.

Think he is universally hated, it's just that players won't call him out over his cheap shots.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #54106 on:** September 30, 2019, 05:31:39 pm »

Of course it is, he's got an unbelievable history of making tackles like, that and he only was smiling as he was coming of the field, playing up to the crowd.

he's a massive bellend.

Burfict flew from Indy to London, got through customs to team hotel, then got word he’s headed back to Oakland.

Looked at the alternate point spread for my mate cos he predicted steelers would smash them for some sort of towel disrespecting curse I was unaware of.
-13 was about 4/1ish. Ah well. Was on the under 45.5 and Pit by -3. Should have put the house on it, just been burned so much weeks 1-3 was far too cautious.

First 3 weeks of the season, you are literally better off betting against your gut instincts.. I'll never learn

KillieRed · « **Reply #54113 on:** October 1, 2019, 08:34:17 am »

The NFL honestly has to start trialling football without helmets; perhaps the old fashioned leatherheads or the updated rugby caps. IMHO that`s the only way players will learn a new culture, and learn to bloody tackle properly.

As for Burfict, his career may be over, and it`s all his own fault. What he did was stupid and dangerous. It`s (another) pity for our team as he was playing well and perhaps our best defensive player, called the plays etc. He`s obviously got issues.

What i don`t get is the Raiders starting the season with 4 LBs on the roster (plus one who was the ST captain), and have now lost one to suspension and another to season-ending injury. That`s on the management.

Or something. They've tried clamping down on it but I reckon they should be just left to get on with it.

Just seen the Patriots are following up the easiest start to an NFL season with a trip to the Redskins. This is like Man City's cup draws over the past couple of seasons.

Seems like Redskins will fire Jay Gruden next week, they'd have fired him this week if they weren't playing the Patriots on Sunday, as they didn't want an interim HCs first game to be against them.

pointless. their issues go far deeper than him.
