Helps when Ingram and Edwards are in full beast mode. That's some score from Ingram today.

The defensive is having a blinding season as well. Flacco’s injury last season has turned into an absolute blessing than the original curse

 

[Deano]

Only thing that must be a worry with Lamar Jackson is his longevity, QB's that take off and run has much has him don't tend to last very long.

 

[The Bear]

It's definitely a risk. Though he seems to bounce off and through tackles.

Maybe they'll reign him in a bit as he goes on.

 

[Tony Towner]

You watch games like the Eagles, New England game last night and think, could Jackson do it against defences playing that well? Then you remember he put 37 on the Partiots a couple of weeks ago.

I still think Baltimore need the number 1 seed to make the Superbowl and I can't see where the Patriots lose a game to give it them with their 3 tough match ups all being at home. Just can't see them dropping the Championship game in Foxborough

 

[James]

Personally the play offs will show whether Lamar has actually grown as it was there last season where he fell to bits.

He absolutely ripped the Patriots to bits when we played them. So we’ll see

Lamar is still young and most great QB adjust there style over time

Count me as a convert. I thought the Texans, after a bye week and with a good rush defence, would be able to slow the Ravens right down, but that game was an embarrassment. Ravens were bigger, faster, stronger, and had the ability to always fall forwards. But good as Jackson and the offence were, it was the defence that won the game. A couple of bad officiating calls (and they were really bad) made no difference.

That first non-pass interference call was a big one in hindsight.

That first non-pass interference call was a big one in hindsight.

It was an absolutely awful non-call. But there is no guarantee the Texans would have scored, or that it would have made any difference to the result.

Also there was a missed illegal block (I think) for the 3rd touchdown. Commentators were surprised that none of the refs saw it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That Seattle touchdown was fucking nuts!! Brilliant play.

Tampa touchdown was rather damn good as well. Eye of a needle.

 

[Tony Towner]

What, the Eagles.got done by a trick play?...get out of town. You'll be telling me next that Wentz fumbles on the next drive.

Redskins winning? This is not normal. I can only assume Detroit are bobbins.

I think Stafford is still out injured which hurts the Lions tremendously.

 

[Jack Regan]

Not sure if there's some really good defence going on in this Seahawks Eagles game. Or if both offences have been absolutely terrible, suspect its some excellent defence from the Eagles and some awful offence from them also.

 

[Tony Towner]

Eagles first 3 WR's and no.1 RB are out. For the second week running the defense have stepped up, but the offense have nothing. Unfortunately I'm now of the view that Wentz is a competent Matt Stafford kinda QB, but he's not gonna put the team on his back

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Normal service being resumed by the Redskins. I know how Saints fans used to feel going to games with paper bags on their heads.

Ah, the old days of the 'Aints. Dark times.

 

[PuntsWolf]

That’s an awful pass from Wentz on 4th. Terrible from the OL on the 3rd too.

Driskell is at best competent but today he's had a stinker.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh my. Redskins actually fucking won??

This does not compute
