What a time to be alive

I look forward to his 45 minute rant tomorrow and Shannon laughing his tits off

Didn't see the Rams being 7-0 at the start of the season, & have a tough few games against the Packers, Saints, Seahawks & Chiefs before the bye week.

Pats are going to win it all by saying f defence with our offence will outscore teams for fun. Also Josh Gordon is a beast having him has changed the Patriots season

Reading Peter King this morning, and it turns out that the last time Justin Tucker missed a PAT was when he was a 16-year-old high schooler. He never missed one in college, or in his senior year at school. 12 years.

Dallas can only blame themselves. That’s going in from 47.

5 yard penalty - and clang of the post!!!

BS penalty call too. Can't say that they deserved to get back into it though, such a mediocre team this year. Worst is that they'll have to win the division for a playoff slot, there's no wildcards coming from the NFC East this time round.

Garret getting lots of stick again for playcalling. Wonder how long he'll last.

Michele has only sprained his MCL, thankfully, should be back in a couple of weeks.

Amari Cooper is being traded to the Cowboys.

In years to come I'll wonder why I didn't stick, like, a grand on that Raiders under 8 wins bet.
9 more years of Gruden...

Think he's a very solid pick up for the Cowboys and will greatly improve their chances of making the playoffs.

That's an absolute god send that. Looked really bad and he has been absolutely vital the last few weeks for getting us going forward

And considering he's had issues with the same knee in the past, it's a miracle.

With these trades, the #Raiders now have $74M in cap space entering the 2019 offseason. And three first-round picks.

...and they will STILL somehow find a way to fuck this up.

To think when Mark Davis took over I thought the madness stopped with Al. Unbelievable.

they don't even have a home ground next year yet.

Stunned they got a first round pick for Cooper. Cowboys panicking and offered full showroom price for him when they should know Gruden is in Everything Must Go mode.

Dallas give up a potential Top 10 pick for Cooper. Unreal

DeVante Parker playing Thursday probably cos we only have two healthy receivers in Grant & Amendola. He’s leading us to the playoffs with Brock O.

I’m hoping grudens everything must go mode leads Carr to Jac 😅

Pity he`s easily intimidated, injury prone and only shows up every second game.

That's ok, they play every second game at home which they win anyway!

A first round pick is steep. It's an obvious need but that gives us 2 deep threats for only 1 deep throw per game....... ;-)

Big screw up by Dallas. Down three and convert a huge 3rd down against the Skins - only for a holding to nullify it. Next play - sack and fumble for a skins TD.

followed up by another 'screw up' on the FG attempt. Two huge penalty calls cost Dallas big time. Also think Romo had it right they should have spiked the ball to kill the clock as it would have given a shot at either a pass to the end zone of a quick pass completion to make the FG attempt shorter. The running play made two yards at best. Very odd play calling by Garrett

It's all about making defense's play honest again right - to allow Elliot space to run?

Skin's stacked the line pretty well to stop him (and Prescott for the most part) and dared Dallas to beat them in the air - which they didn't do for the most part.

I can't stand Gruden and I still don't understand the Alex Smith pickup - but as a Skins fan - I get this move. Give your star QB more options. Something we haven't done in decades.

What’s up with all the early games today (besides London)? I have work to do, dammit!

Ray K · « **Reply #49306 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:03:19 pm »

That was a poor throw by Wentz. Off balance into double coverage and Ramsey gets a nice pick in the end zone.

I've never seen such a bad slate of late games. Colts-Raiders and Cards-Niners is just brutal. Colts don't deserve to be lumped in with the others but they've still only won 2 games.

Are there any good looking matchups today?

Ray K · « **Reply #49308 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:54:41 pm »

Ravens at Carolina is the pick of the early games. Apart from that there's a lot of .500 type teams playing each other (Seahawks-Lions, etc).
Night game between the Saints and Vikings looks good.

Maybe. When I looked at the plan there seemed to be more early kickoffs than usual. I’m pretty new to the NFL but I’m used to one game at 8pm and two games at 11.30pm. Might be wrong.

Is Rothlisberger worthy of being referred to as one of the great quarterbacks, along with Brady, by the comms guys doing Tampa Bay?

Clearly he has longevity on his side. But did he used to be much better?

I'm an Eli guy but the last thing I wanna here later on is, "Eli Manning is still our quarterback."

I think he's gotten really lazy and prone to bad throws these past few years. He's also benefitted from an absurd array of talent in recent years - every dump off to Bell goes for 20 yards and AB84 is the best receiver since Moss.
Brees and Brady for years have a far inferior supporting cast.

FitzMagic is doing FitzMagic stuff in Cincy but the Bengals just do enough.

Quite agree. His refusal to force feed Mike Evans at every single available opportunity is rather annoying. Fitzpatrick loves him.

The Pack seem to enjoy playing at Lambeau West.
