    Wow, Dion Lewis is such a fantastic find. How could the other teams he was with not figure our how good he is?

    Detroit are a bit... well, bad aren't they?
    Bad is kind. Atrocious would be more accurate. Lombardi is out of his depth, but don't think it's all his fault. There seems to be a collective cluelessness

    Dion Lewis is out of control, what a catch and run there for the TD

    We could certainly do with extra safety help at the mo. :(

    I'd have loved it if he retired a Packer.

    The usual with the Pats multiple opportunities with a team in 3rd and long and allowing the conversion. It will be what kills us this year regardless of how good the offence can be

    Better blocking and scheme fit? Better coaching, plenty of reasons.

    A lot of eagles fans where upset when we let him go but I think we had McCoy and Westbrook at the time. From what I remember at the time (and iv not followed his career since) he had been in a lot of bad situations and had been pretty unlucky. He played well as I said many fans where really annoyed when we let him go I'm glad to see it working out for him

    Westbrook was long gone before Lewis was in the NFL.

    A bad day doesn't describe it - Manning is actually embarrassing himself at this stage - 2 picks - 9 pts on the board and major help from a rampaging defence.

    The guy should 'suffer' a season ending injury and retire before he does any more damage to his reputation.

    Arians loves stamping on throats with a lead. Ruthless.

    I don't get this bull**** of not "running up scores" when you are hammering a team, it's not your job to make other teams look good

    Completely agree, he's spot on.

    Last time they had a big lead he was heard telling his team he was looking for new guys if they let up.

    Was about to say that Oakland look to have the makings of an ok looking team until that pick 6 happened.

    I know he just threw a TD (which wasn't his fault by the way) but Carr's development is outstanding.

    One of the shots aimed at Belichick, Brady and the Pats so often. It is of course ridiculous.

    They will take him far, probably the best in football right now.
