Hate that Rat suh. He's a fucking scumbag.

On the Pats, the Bye week should help them out but jeez, alot to fix. Felt like a game they'd normally have in September not November. Titans played very well tho.

The kick off really set the tone. They scored early and we failed to do anything in return [with a field goal, with Brady making poor throws,with our lack of a running game]

Think we'll go 11-5 overall.

Why isn't Donald being ejected for that?

That was a poor throw by Wilson on the run. Lockett was wide open on the sideline and he overthrew him by 5 feet.

The Rams give up too many yards /scores to be a SB winning team, IMHO. I know this is the new all-offense league, but even still.

I warned y’all about Baker.

Would it have not been better to take the 3 points there?

Far too many injuries in my eagles defence. No one knows what they are doing. The cowboys are shite but we are making them (and that prick ezekiel elliot) look amazing. So damn frustrating.

Congrats dude, he's now a definite nailed on superstar after destroying the previously unbeatable Atlanta Falcons

Hell of a Superbowl hangover this. Didn't think we'd lose to the fucking 0-4 on the road Cowboys. Grim.

What's frustrating is that the 'Skins are sauntering to the division title. There'll be no wildcard from the NFCE so making playoffs means you beating the Skins twice and at least matching their record. My Cowboys are a further 0.5 behind after losing against them already so it looks like a minimum of matching their record, beating them and most likely having to beat the Eagles again. Probably not going to happen for us.

That Alex Anzalone is some player. Every time I watch the Saints defence he stands out for me, will do well to keep this lad fit and healthy all season though.

I told Ray on that wonderful platform, Twitter, before the season started, the Colts would finish above* the Jaguars. He didn't believe me.

* Actually I said top of their division and there is still time for that since it's the Texans we're talking about.

Nelson and Darius Leonard have been superb picks. That pancake block from Nelson yesterday was a thing of beauty. Great to see Andrew Luck playing so well too - a shoo-in for comeback player of the year.

You've not much talent on the offense in playmaking positions though. A loss next weekend at the Titans will probably eliminate them. I did say that it'd take at least 2 seasons to undo all the damage from the Grigson/Pagano years.

Yeah mate. I was kidding. The lack of talent is greater on defense by the way. We have stopped getting to the QB since the first couple of games of the season.

At least the OL is vastly improved. Much much better protection and actually opening lanes for our RBs. Watching our blocking get to the second level is a wonderful sight.

We play at home versus the Titans. Another crucial game.

You sound pretty bitter, and I'm not sure why.

Baker Mayfield became first rookie quarterback in NFL history to record a passer rating of at least 150 on 20 or more pass attempts in a single game.

Completing 62% of his passes, nearly a 2:1 TD to INT ratio and he's lead them to more wins in the first 10 games of this season than they had in their previous two seasons, combined. All as a rookie, and with a coaching change halfway through the season.

Like I said earlier this season, he'll have his moments/drives/games of looking like a rookie, but this kid is the real deal.

Not bitter, just pragmatic. People always get erect when a QB comes into the league and does ok and start talking about how good he is. Wait until the next season once DCs have film on the guy and can start gameplanning for him before you start anointing him as the next superstar.

The list of "the next great QB" has more failures than eventual successes. Dak was highly rated, until his O-Line got an injury. Derek Carr was Oakland's saviour and now might be binned. The list goes on.

And by the way, both of those have a better QB Rating than Baker this year.

Perfectly put!
