Well we gave the Bucs a very decent game and Heinicke was top dollar. The rushing TD was just sensational. We still aren’t very good but a decent draft and we should be challenging for the NFC East again. Chase Young is a wonderful acquisition.

 

[The Bear]

Heinicke looks very promising.

Nice surprise to wake up this morning and see last nights result.

Just need to keep Covid free this week and would be very handy for the Chiefs to give us 28pt 1st quarter head start like the Steelers did.

Drew Brees wearing a shirt for Breonna Taylor.

Deleted from Saints twitter account, possibly because some might think it was honouring Ashli Babbitt (MAGA supporter who died at the Capitol attack).

I stayed up until the Chubb touchdown in the 4th Quarter. Boy I'm paying for it now.

Absolutely no chance he makes a fuck up like that after what happened in the spring. No way.

Yep, solved. But shows the state of my mind regarding American politics at the moment that I found it totally plausible.

EDIT: Weird that hyperlinks just show as plain text. @Mods, is that a thing that can be adjusted on the backend?

But by deleting it, the Saints actually make it seem more plausible that he really was honouring a MAGA type. Even though he most definitely was not.

What they did was daft.

Aside from the Saints PR fuck up amidst all the glory was the disgraceful behaviour of Lamar Jackson not shaking hands with the Titans.

Real cuntery and I hope they get smashed next week.

Bill Belichick has turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom from trump.

How do you feel about Arthur Smith Punts? Can he do it without a power back? His offense is all about rpo.

Well I can’t profess to know much about him beyond he’s the Titans OC. Thought their play calling in the last game against Baltimore was dreadful as they continued with Henry even though it clearly wasn’t working and they were actually being successful when they threw it.

And yes, we don’t have a Derrick Henry. Can he be successful without him I have no idea.

We aren’t far off a playoff team IMV, despite the record, and with a successful draft that could easily happen. Problem is i think we’ve got pretty bad cap issues and we probably aren’t getting the production out of Julio for the contract he’s on. If he can stay healthy he should still be able to perform to an elite standard, particularly with Ridley alongside him meaning he might get more single coverage.

Rumours that Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston. Trading a franchise QB literally NEVER happens. Could get interesting.

Multiple reports that Watson has had enough and really wants to leave. Fans, players, ex-players, media all united in blaming Jack Easterby for the dysfunction. Easterby used to be Patriots chaplain, now prays with Texans owner and blames everyone else for all the problems.

Playoff weekend, but don't expect this story to go away.

Ramsey going to shut down Adams? Aaron Donald up front...

I've got LA on the spread at +6.5. Ramsey is the best CB in the game, I do think he'll do a job on Adams.Not sure they have the offense to win though

Franchise QB's his age don't get traded. What would it cost 3 1's at the very least. Who'll pay it?

Dolphins widely reported as a destination (and have a QB in part-exchange).

Two things to remember:
Texans have no 1st or 2nd round draft pick and lots of holes especially in defence
Watson can just choose not to play

 

[PuntsWolf]

always forget how rubbish Goff is

 

[PuntsWolf]

Haven’t quite got through the second game yet but the Ravens centre needs sacking.

It was reminiscent of the first play of the Steelers game last week, except Lamar just managed to avoid the safety this time to the detriment of his health

 

[PuntsWolf]

Wasn’t the only bad snap either.

Ravens just lack offence if the the runs shut down. Even if Lamar throws well his receivers aren’t good enough.
