LOL :joy: It’s Cowboys owner (and arsehole) Jerry Jones’ birthday :joy:

Green Bay look very good, Detroit are the best in the NFC right now, be interesting to see the playoffs

Detroit looking very good

Ravens had a slow start but starting to find their form

I see the Jets have sacked their Head Coach, Robert Salah.

Got me thinking as to how much money the Jets have invested in Aaron Rodgers and whether he is worth the money , or preventing investment elsewhere.
Russell Wilson didn’t do the Broncos any favours either.

In fact apart from when Brady went to the Buccs I can’t think offhand of an instance where this has worked out for the team getting a QB at the end of his career.
The Buccs are still paying for Brady under the 2024 deferred cap, but I guess a SB win in the asset column looks pretty good.

Kinda saw that one coming, the “look” was a “you just got me fired you fuck” look. There’s those suggesting Roger’s threw that interception on purpose, there was certainly no reason to throw that pass. The Jets had lots of time on the clock and 3 timeouts left, and he decides to force that throw ? :rofl:
Also reports that Rogers was engaged in locker room politics to get Saleh ousted. Believable, Aaron’s a bit of a prick :eggplant:

Haha, do you get Tom Brady on commentary there? He’s harsh as fuck sometimes, but he’s learning a new job.
He had some self deprecating jokes his last broadcast, that his producers obviously asked him to read, and try to sound human and likeable :robot:

It’s Saleh.

Had him on the Detroit game, he was a bit of a fan!
We get the same commentary feed from Fox, CBS or whoveer is calling the live game. We don’t have any choice, on game, Sky have the early and 9.00 game with the US game commentary and their own UK based studio experts, mainly because they cut to the studio when the US go to commercial breaks,

The late game (kick off 01.30 here) is full live feed from US

Dolphins saying Tua will return this season. Honestly, he should retire.
I’ve expressed doubts about him in this thread before, and he’s done nothing to make me a believer. He’s too injury prone, and his brain has been jarred too many times. Also, he’s greatly talented with a cannon arm, but has zero game sense. How many times does he kill Dolphins drives/momentum with bad interceptions on forced throws.
He’s never going to be “the Man” for a team with serious Super Bowl aspirations. Not even a great backup. Just another one of those head scratching “might have beens” that this game seems to produce so often

A lot of the ex-player commenters have friends in management and coaching at all the teams. They don’t hide their bias sometimes, but I’m OK as long as it doesn’t get maudlin :face_vomiting:

Bills@Jets game is good so far. Fucko is having a good game at QB, Jets offence is clicking.
Related - The Jets 60s throwback uniforms they’re wearing for this game (all white with green trim) are nice. One of the best throwbacks in the league, one of the nicest uniforms period :+1:

Small margins, one turnover effectively decides the game.
Loads of missed kicks though, in previous weeks kickers weren’t missing anything and it seemed like 60yd FGs were going to become the new normal

Tomorrows featured games shown in UK should be good.
Lions @ Vikings
Chiefs @ Niners

Won’t be staying up for 1.30am kick off Jets @ Steelers

Ha,
Forgot we have the London games on.
So live at the moment is Patriots @ Jags

I think Wembley counts as a home game for the Jags

96yd kIck off return by the Jags!

Good win by Lions @ Vikings,
All down to time mangement and a FG at the end.
At one point I thought the Lions were looking the rela deal but they let the Vikings back in, I am not sure a top team would do that.
Two very brave offences though, took quite a few risks.

Chiefs @ Niners next!

Niners had far too many on the injury list to be properly competitive today

Won’t be staying up to watch the battle of the has-beens!

I don’t think the Vikings are for real. They’re solid, but I’m getting last season Eagles vibes
