Well, that was fun. Jets completely imploded in that half.

Pats special teams & D has done a very good job, someone has obviously told Wilfork to pretend the jets players are all turkeys and he must feed on them. The offense has a nice balance to it with the running game being effective and Brady being his usual self. We've been so dominant, I don't think anyone has noticed that Gronk is injured.

Someone needs to gif the Sanchez fumble - he ran right into his own player's backside and almost got knocked out!

Excellent half. Time for bed...
 
Monster play by Spikes on the goal line stand. He's playing great this season.
 
Another turn over. Pats D has been exceptional the last 2 games.

Another TD. 49-12. I think it's now time to take Brady and other starters out of this game.
 
Superb win. Superb performance by all the players. Rex's thanksgiving ruined. Triffic!

We had people in the family who don't normally watch football cracking up at that one as they showed each replay. It may just be my favorite play ever.
 
That Sanchez fumble has excellent replay value, great 2 weeks for the pats.
 
arrghh....don't like the hoodie wearing hobo or his New England team. I have a bad feeling that they are going to go all the way this season and make amends for those losses against the Giants. Don't really see another capable team.
 
This has been a good game. RG3 looks good but, like Luck, some of what he does looks properly rookie. and I'm not sure what to make of him until he comes across a decent defence. Luck got dicked the other night against the Pats so I'd like to see how it goes against the Giants next week.

Looking forward to seeing Kaepernick as well.

There is nothing to 'make of him'.

67% pass completion rate, 16 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. Come from behind drives...game killing drives, he's done it all already.

The only reason the Skins don't have a better record is because of a D decimated by injury, and a crappy receiving corps. Not to mention a couple of last minute defeats.

He is legit, and will be a huge thorn in the side of the opposition for at least the next decade! He isn't simply a scrambler with an erratic arm(Vick), has already shown more poise than Cam Newton(another QB in the same mould). The only negative in his game atm is his ball security when scrambling. He's lost quite a few fumbles.

As for the G-men, when the Skins played them earlier in the season, it took a last minute 77yard TD bomb from Eli to beat the Skins(27-23).

Griffin that day - 20/28 258 yards 2 TDs/1Int and 89 yards on the ground
 
Superb game between Dallas and Washington. Skins hold on for the win. I'd have gone for it on 4th and 10 instead of attempting the onside recovery after the FG. Stupid cowboys.

Hernandez is active for the Pats, hopefully we win and ruin Rex's thanksgiving.

It pisses me off watching opponents' defensive backs make plays to deny long touchdowns then watch Dallas DBs whiff on similar plays.

Dallas has the wrong coach, they should have the guy currently running the Redskins, Mike Shanahan (or Bill Cowher), but Jerry prefers puppets and uses the fact that Parcells didn't win a championship as his proof that big-name coaches aren't a necessity. I disagree when you have a bunch or incompetent football men running a club.

Garrett is a good OC but not HC. He's proven himself to be incompetent at game and clock management, at personnel recognition, etc. I sat there watching the Browns game as Romo was under constant pressure and thought, "Why not just stick a back next to Romo as an extra blocker?" Too many times there was a back next to Romo but the back would release after a second and run a short route leaving Romo exposed to pressure. There's no point in sending a back out on short routes when there's already 3-4 receivers downfield and the QB is under immediate pressure. If the the QB has time to pass then a short route by a RB can work very well.

And I'm no coaching genius but even I can recognize an immediate if only temporary fix to a problem.
 
Anyone else when speaking of United call it 'defense', only then to say 'dee-fense' when talking about NFL!? Or am I the only strange one?? :)

I do exactly that, i also noticed my brother and a good mate doing the same thing yesterday in the pub
 
Tampa are an exciting team to watch this season, the majority of their games go down to the last play and it seems it will be the same today. I hope they make it into the playoffs.
 
In my fantasy side, I've put Colston on the bench and start with Lance Moore. Colston has a touchdown. fecking typical :mad:

Saints playing well so far.
 
Good win for the Niners.

Kaepernick had a solid game, I have no doubt that they'll stick with him at QB from now on.

Given the Falcons habit of late of making bad teams look good, I was pretty worried about today against a good Bucs team. Our lack of a running game any other year would have us lining up for a top 10 draft pick, but Matt Ryan's evolved as a passer to the point where we can ride that through slumps in the running game.

Having Sean Weatherspoon back made all the difference. Without him today, the Bucs would've won by double digits. He makes such a difference defending the run.

That said, it's time to put Michael Turner out to pasture. He's played a huge role in turning the team from perennial losers to winners. Even if we haven't gotten over the hump in the playoffs yet, we've come a long way in the Ryan/Turner/Mike Smith era.
 
This is a pretty special start to Aldon Smith’s career.

Randy Moss' blocking too! Smart move interfering with Jenkins in the end zone.
 
The boos are already out in Philly. I thought the Pats secondary was bad, Eagles doing a good job to make them look great.

First time I'm watching a MNF game on BBC and I think the coverage is awful. Sky is the most professional but Mike Carlson makes C4's coverage the best IMO.
 
Panthers' WR wide open again. :lol: Philly's secondary is truly pathetic.

It certainly is, agree with you about Carlson as well, he's been top class ever since he was on CH 5.

Game Pass is the only way to do it imo, black out permitting.
 
Send in the bin laden seals!

Can't believe jerry jones would rather maintain power and control over the cowboys than appoint a GM and see if the team can win trophies. He comes across as a right annoying twat, like Mark Cuban without the trophy and the personality.
 
I see your point but Cuban is a fantastic owner, a player's kind of owner, can also hoop it up himself which gives him far more respect from the players, and the bottom line is he actually listens and allows his paid staff (which includes a GM) to make the final decisions. Jerry basically pays his staff then overrides their professional opinions. I've also heard that for years Jerry has underpaid all of his personnel in the organization (outside of players and a handful of select coaches) in an apparent greed and control mechanism.
 
I fecking hate Baltimore. They're like Chelsea under Mourinho. Always scraping a win by a point or one good play.

Probably lucky for you and other clubs fans that the Ravens have had bad-to-average QBs over the last 15 years or they'd have won a few more championships. And yes, Flacco is a slightly above average QB, nothing great about him IMO.
