Right, cheers guys, great game...See you next season :icon_lol:

I recorded the Green Bay v Bears game from over night on Sunday and watched it yesterday. SO disappointed! To be 20-3 up and end up losing to a quarterback on one leg really pissed me off but there were some real signs of improvement from the last two seasons. Howard and Cohen as the running options look really good and the two new wide receivers, Allen Robinson from the Jags and Taylor Gabriel from the Falcons have added a different dimension to the Offence. Nagy looks like the forward thinking, attacking Head Coach that the Bears have needed for a while

Oh and Khalil Mack from The Raiders... :worshippy:

Rodgers is the only QB in the NFL that could have done that including Brady. Shame for him they've never give him any top class recieving weapons, a running back or a defense or he'd have as many rings as him.

 

[Johnny75]

I'd agree with that. Brady's biggest asset is Bill Belichik and his ability to build teams and playbooks. Without him Brady is a good but not great player. Both Manning's, Brees, Rivers, Favre and Rodgers are better QB's yet it will be Tom that will be lauded as GOAT.

 

[The Bear]

Did I just read correctly that you said Eli Manning is a better QB than Brady!!

Super Lolz.

 

[Johnny75]

As a pure player he is. Tom Brady has never had the tools of either Manning brother and if either Manning had Belichick as coach then both would have the same or better numbers than Brady.

 

[The Bear]

Eli is fucking useless compared to his brother.

 

[Johnny75]

Which tells you how good Peyton was. Eli's had a 14 year career throwing over 50K yards so he's no mug and had better tools than Brady coming out of college.

 

[The Bear]

I reckon Eli is still the 3rd best Manning brother:

Just a reminder to get your lineups in before the game tonight.

Only me and Tony in at the minute.

 

[Johnny75]

I got round to watching the highlights this lunchtime from last week. Some great plays and may be some good value picks that go under the radar.

 

[darlowolf64]

I'm in

 

[Tony Towner]

No Johnny or James. Good start from Darlo

 

[Johnny75]

Apologies men.

 

[darlowolf64]

Yeah, after last week I thought I'd have a punt on Flacco and one of his receivers. (should have gone for AJ Green mind you but talked myself out of it as I didn't want too many in one game)

 

[James]

Yeah I have no phone at the moment sorry lads

 

[The Bear]

I turned down AJ Green because I thought the Ravens defence was too good!
