Someone seems to have taken the Packers defence and replaced with one that can actually defend...

Skins are probably a bit of fraud at 5-2. However - if they can get some regular offensive production they have a decent defense and might make the playoffs.

You know you're not having a good game when you're in the second quarter and your punter is your best player so far...

theres about 6 games going on in LA today plus the dodgers in the World Series probably explains it

As a Cards fan I'm saying the last two minutes have made it worth it.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #49329 on:** October 28, 2018, 11:35:43 pm »

how bad are the 9ers. arizona have won 2 games out of 8 and they've both been against them.

robgomm · « **Reply #49330 on:** October 28, 2018, 11:38:20 pm »

That was the most fitting final play possible, 49ers snapping the ball over their QB's head and into oblivion. Two bad teams but the Cards winning the way they did was a great boost for the new offensive coordinator and for Josh Rosen. Larry Fitzgerald is still the man too.

Pardon my ignorance (as ever) but they’d have had an unassailable lead had he scored so why didn’t he? Even with no extra point they’d have gone 8 ahead with surely no time for Packers to score more than once?

Clearly I’m blissfully unaware of something obvious but why didn’t he just score?

I'd shoot any returner who even thinks about taking it out of the end zone with 2.05 left. Literally zero upside.
That's on the special teams coach though. Has to tell him before the play to take a knee just to preserve the 2 min warning time out.

by going down there it was guaranteed that the packers don't get the ball back. if you score and kick off there's always the possibility of a kick off return for a TD, no matter how unlikely.

You can go for 2 after a touchdown Nicholas.

Just read that Montgomery was instructed to take a knee and basically ignored that. He should be waking up to being cut this morning, absolutely fucking brain dead.

Joe and Jerry are only 62 & 56 respectively. Are they free next weekend?

Really getting into this business now. I finally understand all the rules and am getting better at understanding the plays and formations etc.

I’ll be in New York for work and have been lucky enough to have been given tickets to Giants v Bears, which will be an experience. I was down in London for Seahwaks v Raiders, which was fantastic despite the game being a one-sided mauling. Loved it.

I asked a question about merch earlier in the thread and got some decent replies. What’s the chance I’ll be able to get a Mahomes KC Jersey while I’m in NY? Have found nowhere in the UK that looks reliable and stocks them. The Nike store had some of the proper jerseys by Wembley on game day, but it was basically every team except the Chiefs 😅

My preference would be to pick one up over here as I doubt I’ll have time for much shopping while I’m in the states.

Good to see the Seahawks win again and their defence looking halfway decent all of a sudden. Got a soft spot for them as Wembley was my first ever game. The Chiefs have been the side I’ve enjoyed watching the most this season though. Mahomes plays with incredible charisma.

Red Viper · « **Reply #49346 on:** October 29, 2018, 03:54:45 pm »

So Hue Jackson has finally been sacked. No idea why it took them this long but at least now they can get someone who won't waste all that young talent they have.

Looking at the teams involved, I'm not sure whether "lucky" is the right choice of word...

Probably true

Might be fun seeing Mack plunge Eli to the turf three or four times though.

Was more referring to the chance to see a game in the States and soak it up. As good as Wembley was, it was obviously geared to people who have even less of a clue than I do.

One of the more amusing facets of Jackson being fired is that they have actually been unfortunate not to win more games this season in which they were the better team. And yet he managed to last two years during which he only won once

Weird timing considering they’ve looked far better this year and have gone a long way to completing the the rebuild. Why stick by him for so long and then change it up now?
