Next week can't come soon enough :drool:

Raiders @ Chiefs TNF
Cowboys @ Giants SNF
Seahawks @ Packers
 
I've never seen Cowboys fans this cocky.

Given the way last season went it's hardly surprising that some are getting carried away.

Also, 11 in a row.. that's enough to get anyone excited

With all the love-in the Raiders are getting, it's easy to overlook how easily they could lose the division to KC. The Chiefs could be that dark horse to steal the title; they have great coaching and playmakers on D.

Indeed & they find 'ugly' ways to win games. Will be a massive statement if Raiders go to KC & win. Wish it wasn't a TNF game :(

Very true... it's even conceivable that Denver could sneak past both. Its the strongest division in NFL at the moment
 
Texans waive happy socks :(
Yeah I also read that :( A little surprising as well because Joseph left the game yesterday with an arm injury, but I'm guessing it's nothing really serious. James was a fan favourite in Houston, sad to see him leave.

Meanwhile, the Broncos have added Justin Forsett. Let's see if can be more effective than Booker behind your Oline.
 
Big game tonight. Would like Raiders to win but a loss would put the Pats ahead in the race for the #1 seed. A Chiefs win might mean more people start talking about them as a contender. I think they're a real dark horse & their habit of winning ugly might carry them all the way!

Should be a good watch but wish it was on a Sunday evening instead.
 
Our best defensive player behind Landon. Puts even more pressure on our misfiring offense to get their shit together. And we're playing the Cowboys on Sunday night feck everything

Could go either way, should be a tight one. Can't fecking wait.
 
Johnson out, ffs they can't catch a break on defense at the moment.
 
Chiefs!! Been saying for weeks that they are a real threat & ought to be taken seriously. Hill made that punt return look so easy :drool:

An AFC winner is getting harder to call, especially with the Pats losing Gronk & other teams starting to hit form. Getting the #1 seed is going to be very important.

A lot in Denver's hands as well, considering our run in:

@ Titans
vs Patriots
@ Chiefs
vs Raiders
 
Gutted about the performance against the Chiefs last night, but by all accounts the Chiefs deserved it. They are really looking strong heading into the playoffs. Raiders will need to bounce back against the Chargers next week. Getting to 11 wins should guarantee a play off slot, but whatever way you look at it, the AFC looks pretty tough.
 
Carr struggled with his injured pinky all night - had to direction or zip - he got so many passes wrong. To add to that, Raiders also dropped a lot of catches - 6/7.

Chiefs didn't play well - turnovers! But, with Carr being so ineffective and Hill being an x factor, they got the job done
 
Think most teams will struggle to beat the Chiefs if you let them put up 20+ points
You'd think that...but the Raiders had plenty of opportunities to win this. The deep ball to Amari Cooper in the 4th was a nailed on touchdown. Yet, a combination of Carr being inaccurate and Cooper losing the ball in the lights meant, it came to nothing
 
4 london games next season. Hoping they dont do a split with 2 at Twickers and 2 at Wembley. If they keep the 1 at Twickenham, hopefully the rest are at Wembley.

Yeah, the Chiefs had two turnovers inside their own 30 and the Raiders didn't really punish them for it, settling for two field goals. Credit to the Chiefs D for that although Carr was indeed a bit off all night, that pinky clearly bothered him.

Kelce doing that dance in front of King was just savage :lol:
 
Surprised they've gone with 4! Hopefully Pats are one of the teams coming.

Won't be long until we get the franchise based in London.

Same. My journey to Twickenham was horrible. I must admit though that although my seats were worse (right near the top) in Twickenham my view was excellent even compared to my view from Wembley where I had much better seats.

Hope we do too - as long as it's not the 15th October as I have to skip the game on that day, if there is one. That would be a real kick in the teeth!

I still think we are a good few years yet away from a London franchise. I would expect some kind of hybrid franchise here first. And certainly they would need a team to play back to back in London too (god please not the Jags)

To be honest the real challenge of a London franchise is do people who already have a team switch allegiance or not... I suspect many wouldn't.

We know one of the games will be Dolphins Saints (Brees :drool:) so will be interesting to see who they send over this time.

I thought they only managed 3 - didn't they go for that bizarre fake field goal? Or am I thinking of another drive...

Oh yeah, could be that it was the drive after the turnover, not sure. Any way, you've got to get more points from that if you're playing this Chiefs team. They have an 8-game winning streak over AFC West rivals, which is pretty impressive considering it's by far the strongest division in the league.
 
Old Trafford :drool:
No, just no haha. Keep it to London :D

Yeah, I am right behind the goal at Wembley which is excellent. The view might be better at Twickenham as im higher but on half way line. But when I went to the game I was feckin freezing as its all open :lol:

Seriously hope Packers is one of the teams, cos i keep hoping that every year. They are like one of only 4 or 5 teams that havent come over. But I doubt they will :(
