    The way the Bears offense has played, that could be game.

    Impressive drive from Saints and bridgewater.

    9 points is an enormous deficit to claw back for the Bears.

    To quote John cleese, I can take the despair, it's the hope I can't stand.

    This is dreadful. Jesus Christ.

    Being destroyed by a decimated Saints team.

    To be fair to the saints, they're doing everything they can to keep us in it, but we just keep letting them down.

    They're missing a few key pieces, but they built a very talented, deep roster. One of the best in the NFC.

    They be a nice benchmark game to measure your team, so they obviously still far away, not to mention the North seems stacked this year. Might be a case on concentrating on performances rather than results for the Bears from here in out. (all that being said, beats could easily go in a run)

    The last thing I expected this season was to be turning off a game in the 3rd quarter in week 7, but I can't watch this sh*te anymore tonight. I'd rather have an extra hour of sleep.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭MileHighGuy


    Poor spot for the titans, but not challenging, strange given the crucial game situation.

    It was terrible execution of a QB sneak by tannehill anyway.

    Absolutely, well coached and crucially they have the best collection of linemen in football imo. What a smart move it was to keep Bridgewater as well, Brees can come back in to a very comfortable situation when he returns now.

    Don't feel guilty, this is extremely poor effert from the Bears. It could get even further out of hand

    Lamar Jackson is like the wind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,350 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Only the fact the eagles are playing on SNF I'd have turned off the bears game. 85 yards total ? Jesus I'm lucky I'm not a Bears fan. That takes effort to be that bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,350 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    That was a generous call for the chargers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭MileHighGuy


    Chargers getting all the breaks. An inexplicable gamble to go for it rather that punt from midfield from the titans.

    Now they run a play, called touchdown, clock stops, helping them with time and a non running clock.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭MileHighGuy


    Oh dear chargers.... Either time ran out or they fumbled and lost possession... If they get to run another play the titans have been gyped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,350 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Well that's the game in Nashville.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭MileHighGuy


    Justice down in Tennessee, but the choice for the Chargers to run twice with only seconds left was hubris. They could have had 3 shots passing the ball.... Even had he not fumbled, time would have expired.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭MileHighGuy


    Great win in Seattle for the Ravens. They are a bit inconsistent at the moment, but i didn't think they had it in them.

    The little I saw of the game, I wonder are Seattle being too cautious with Russell Wilson... They really seem to be committing to the run, rather than let him do his thing... Maybe a Seattle fan who watches their full games could correct me though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,350 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    27 unanswered points from the Saints.

    Massive win for the Ravens they have all but sewn up a bad division at this stage barring an injury to Lamar Jackson. Got lucky with two defensive scores but you have to take advantage and they did. Metcalf will be devastated with that fumble, he was under no pressure at all and it sealed the win for the Ravens.

    From what I saw of the Bears they are no threat this year, while he is not the sole issue Trubisky is just not good enough, boy oh boy what they would give to have that 2017 pick back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Cowboys flying early against the Eagles, 21-7 approaching halfway in the second quarter. Eagles giving them plenty of help to that lead it has to be said.

    That's how Seattle nearly always play (especially over the last 2 years). They focus on the run until they're put in a spot where they have to turn to Wilson, who usually pulls it out. It is why they rarely blow out teams that they should on paper.

    I really is a waste of such a good player.

    Picks, they traded up for him...

    It had the Bears down as my surprisingly bad team due to my question marks over Trubisky, improved division, and so much going their way last year that doesn't normally hold year to year (defense, turnovers, injuries) but didn't expect them to be this bad, with them coming out of the easier part of their schedule. Could be in a position where they give a very good first round pick to the Raiders, one that could have been a spot where they could have picked up one of the better QBs in a deep class.

    I did watch the eagles game last night and feel me ranting about it wouldn't be helpful to the AF forum. The score line needs no more elaboration from me.

    I avoided the score all day today in work and finally caught up with it on game pass. Didn’t really surprise me in the end, was awful stuff by the Eagles again this week. Giving the Cowboys a 14-0 start from two early turnovers obviously didn’t help.

    Brady clinical on the first drive tonight, think he hit five different receivers. Sony Michel finishes it off from the three yardine, 7-0 Patriots.
    Inactives list is Burkhead, Gordon, La Cosse, Izzo, Bennett, Chung and Cunningham.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Pick again for McCourty. Patriots have the ball at the Jets 12.

    Interesting Stat, Jets just went three and out to make it only one successful attempt from 29 on third down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Brady on fire, 17-0 Patriots. He just hit Dorsett from 26 out. He is 13 of 17 for 118 and a td through one quarter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 278 ✭✭Doogs27


    This is a annihilation. KVN scoop and score for the second week in a row unless they bring it back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    24-0, Michel finishes off this drive again after the D forced a fumble to get the ball back around the Jets 40.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,510 ✭✭✭Hazys


    Darnolds performance is lol but damn the Pats D is ridiculously good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    33-0 now, they added a safety earlier and Sony Michel went in for his third of the night just now.
    Elandon Roberts doing a fine job as a full back on Michel's last two tds.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Darnold is 8 of 24 for 50 yards, 0 tds and 4 ints with a forced fumble which was recovered by the D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    Feck, Darnold had some stinker of a game. Delighted I didnt stay up for that one:(
