NFL Thread 2014-2015

Three timeouts left. They Just have to stop Niners from getting a first down here.
 
Wish the game in Wembley was like this. Everybody started leaving with around 10 minutes left lol.

Weird penalty flag in Niners favour ¬¬
 
Good defence by Niners. Eagles with some weird play calls though.
 
Great game in the end. Good win for the Niners.
 
This should be a fun, high scoring game...
 
Evening gents! Random drunk thoughts....

1. Glad the Eagles lost, a narrow win would have them as firm favorites for the NFC East, and feck that shit right?

2. The 49ers need to run the ball more.

3. What happened to Stafford this year? He seems to have stepped up his game another level.
 
Brilliant first drive from dem Cowboys.

I had the Saints to win the NFC this season, but the way they're playing defense, they are not going to get close to winning it.
 
The entire NFC? Not their division?

How did you come to that conclusion?

I thought the Seahawks may have a bit of a SB hangover and everyone seemed to like what the Saints did in the off-season. Their D was decent last year, but so far they've struggled. Brees can put up the points, but the D has to step up.
 
Too easy. Dallas running through this defense.
 
DeMarco Murray running like a man possessed this year. 450 yards already in just the fourth game of the season.
 
Too easy. Romo's ripping them apart. Maybe he read this thread and didn't like all the Eli>>Romo comments ;)
 
The perfect half from Dallas. Excellent in the running game & Romo's been superb with the passing game. The defense is doing very well too.

Saints have been awful. They need to learn how to actually tackle.

I expected a high scoring game, but not like this!!

Pop a few bucks on Romos head, they'll learn to tackle quickly.
 
really enjoyed the game at wembley last night, apart from the result. caught a tshirt from the cannon too.

one thing i liked was how during any stoppages they played RedZone on the screens, do they do that at games in the states as the only game over there i went to was at the Oakland Colleseum a few years back.
 
Theyve done the redzone on the screen in Wembley for years as well.

What was the t-shirt you caught @vanthaman ?

Just plain red with a massive nfl logo on the front, one of those thick transfer jobs which feels horrible when you touch it, it was XL so at least I can actually wear it
 
Don't know what's more surprising, Houston being 3-1 despite inconsistent QB play or the Cowboys being 3-1 with what many thought would be a wretched defense or even the Saints blowing so hard. Texans could be so much better with someone about league average at that position who wouldn't willingly make the receivers' lives miserable and they could have got that by drafting Bridgewater. JJ Watt man, I'm going to name my first born child after him.
 
There are loads of great options for Houston even if they end up in the playoffs. Cook for one has great mechanics and is a pocket passer that O'Brien can mold into Brady lite. Failing that wouldn't surprise anyone if they threw the farm for Hackenberg in 15/ 16. #2 ranked QB of his HS class, great field vision and good arm strength. BOB even mentored him at Penn State. Maybe even go local and draft Kenny Hill. Texans fans would love it. :lol:
 
Who did the Texans pick as their first draft this year? Given that they had no QB, should they or could they have gone with Manziel?

Clowney, that's not an issue but they could easily have traded their second round pick + some obscure late pick for draft rights to Bridgewater in the 20s.

Doesn't Kenny Hill have one more year left before he can declare?
 
No one would've given up much up for a major bust potential end like Clowney. Maybe Atlanta's 2014 1st + 2015 1st but they don't have depth because of the Julio trade so not much sense there. Would be happy getting a franchise LT. Rams really lucked in with RGIII.

Yup. Both him and Hackenberg were true freshmen last season so they can declare in 2016. Houston might as well take a punt on Winston in 2015. Any more drama and he might even slip to the backend of the 1st round. Teams would take a high character guy like Hundley over him outside of Mariota.
 
Really poor half from the Pats. Nothing on offense and the entire performance can be summed up when Brady threw an incomplete pass instead of running for the easy first down. Defense has been very bad too, 300 yards in the 1st half ffs!!

Not going to win this game but hopefully Brady & the offense can get something going in the second half. It's been a very disappointing season so far (despite the 2 wins), things need to improve quickly.

Also, Amendola has to be one of the worst signings of all time. Pointless cnut.
