The NFL Thread

Just when you think the Bears season can't get any worse a returning Kyle Long only lasts until the 2nd quarter before being carted off on a trolly with his leg in an aircast and then the ONE bright point of the season, Jordan Howard is injured with what looks like an Achilles Tendon injury. Can we just end the season now please?

And to top it off Alshon Jeffery gets suspended for 4 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Eagles 5-4, 4-0 at the Linc which is where play off hopes will be won or lost as all 3 NFC East teams still to come there. WR so bad today that 5'6 veteran RB Darren Sproles was used as a receiving option in the 4th quarter

Most frustrating game ever. Philly just didn't want To win it. And despite the eagles leaving the door open the whole game the Falcons didn't want to take it. Julio dropping a floater uncontested summed up the day.

Whose idea was it to put Miami V Rams??

 

[Tony Towner]

Sky changed their game when the Rams announced Goff was starting

 

[PuntsWolf]

What was it before? Seattle?

I've got gamepass so could watch any but too lazy!

Great win for Washington over the Packers. Now got to somehow beat the bloody Cowboys on Thursday.

Jay Cuttler to undergo surgery and out for the rest of the season...has he played his last game for the Bears?

He should have done, but dumber things have happened.

4 games in London confirmed for next year. The venues and teams to be confirmed on Tuesday.

I can only assume Twickenham will get two as well as Wembley. Can't see Wembley having three tbh.

Is the new White Hart Lane supposed to be open by then? I think they've signed up for a game too.

 

[The Bear]

Not until 2018, when they get two per year.

 

[Tony Towner]

Rookie yes, nothing at RB absolutely, WR the worst in the NFL probably, but Wentz you have to find a way to get it done and this must be the 5th game this year you haven't

 

[The Bear]

Hard to criticise him when he has so little around to help him.

 

[Tony Towner]

I know, and I'm pretty hopeful he'll be the franchise QB we are looking for, but there have been so many games this year where we have been a TD from victory and he's not brought it home. Today 4 opportunities from the 14 yd line
Seasons gone already and the over the top wages on average players will make it difficult to do too much in free agency. In one of those situations unique to American sports where you're better off losing the next 3 games

The Eagles also have the Vikings 1st and 4th round picks as part of the Bradford trade.

Yes, but traded their own first round pick to the Browns for Wentz, so looking for a high second round pick now after the first round one from the Vikings. The Browns look like they are going to get two top ten picks in the first round

 

[Deano]

Forgot about that trade,

Vikings going to finish somewhere around 8-8 and with no 1st round pick I think they are going to have to make a fair few moves to get some cap room ready for free agency as the O line is a mess.

If Peterson plays any part in the remaining games it will be the last of him we see in Minnesota.

[The Bear]

And I've already booked our four Premier Inn stays on those dates!! Going for the one right next to Wembley for those games. No bus-ing it in for us!

We'll decide later if we're going to all four.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm surprised that the Rams have given up a home game up so soon after relocating.
