The NFL Thread

[Kingellesar]

I played golf at 8.10am Sunday morning but stayed up for Bears against packers at 1.30am. Went bed at half time as it went as expected.

I knew we would lose against them but the standard of officiating at Lambeau field is ridiculous, always in favour of the home team.

Josh Allen destroying my 30 point lead over @tobi coupled with the Raiders capitulating against the Cardinals compounded a bad NFL weekend for me.

Lesson here: Always draft Josh Allen

That was nasty..luckily no major injury to his neck or spinal cord

Horrible but glad there is apparently no serious damage.

Reminds me of the Johnny Knox injury. Makes my toes curl thinking about it.

Not much happened in the early window!

Dolphins definitely aren't good for the heart.

So despite spending, what, over $440m this off season the Raiders find themselves 0-3 and already finding getting back into the play-offs now looks a mammoth task and it's still only September!

Should have kept Bisaccia and Mayock and built on those foundations you feel instead of pursuing McDaniels (who just seems better suited as an OC) and Ziegler - questions will once again be raised against Carr whether he can continue to be the face of this franchise moving forwards although I think it's more bad coaching calls thus far than bad QB play but still, the noise will only get louder on this subject if we continue to lose.

Fans hate Carr, McDaniels’s seat warming up every week. Defeat to the donkeys and it’ll get very, very tricky for him. Supposedly he had a long meeting with Mark Davis after the Titans game. Davis wants to win now rather than do another rebuild, so an 0-3 start is the opposite of expectations (Big expectations tbh as there are far better teams than the Raiders).

Personally I hope they fire McDaniels and hire Sean Payton (Al Davis wanted to hire Payton many moons ago), but that’s probably far too much to ask and Payton might have more sense than that. Hell, he might even end up back at the Saints.

Strangely I think the Raiders will improve, but it’s a bit 2 points from 8 games at the moment. Might just need a drastic change to get things moving forward. Anyway, it’s always weird with the Raiders so in some ways I’m not surprised.

These officials are shit.

Does any sport have good officials?

The second tua head injury is sickening

So sad. Heads should roll for this. How the hell was cleared after Sunday!

NFL sent a double doink to London.

Flicked it on to see the stadium. Feels weird! Looks so different.

Whoever at ITV thought this commentary team was a good idea needs stringing up by their bollocks and used as target practice for an aspiring knife thrower. It’s so so bad.

Fletcher is just a generic commentator, is what he is, but Crawford is absolutely awful. Sounds like he's taken a sleeping pill before coming on air and offers very little interesting insight despite being an ex player.

Quite amused by Roy Keane basically telling an autograph hunter to fuck off cos he's watching the game.

Also surprised he'd be there in the first place. I just assumed he'd see this as a stupid American circus and have no time whatsoever for it. He's a very odd bloke.
