Well, most of us over this side of the pond likely won't.

You're an optimistic Eagles fan, I'll give you that.

I always pick then come what may. I know it’s more than likely a loss but you never know. also, I’ve to pay attention to MNF which I don’t normally watch live but will have to this week.

I have a Pats mate that picks them every week in our league and it's killing him week-to-week in the league. Same with the missus and her picking of the Browns EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Not so bad this year, but it has been a killer for her aspirations.

I have no such qualms. The Broncos are gash.

Ravens and steelers game that was set for thanksgiving(tomorrow) has been moved from that date til Sunday. Just looking online and some steelers aren’t happy that this has happened twice now to them and they weren’t the cause of it. I know this might not be popular or maybe it is, but at this stage the nfl need to think about having teams who are unable or unwilling(more the latter) to keep the players and staff safe against Covid-19 having to forfeit games. And that should apply to all teams whether it’s a team in the no1 seed or a team who is already on the clock for the draft.

I think this is just the last straw for some of the Steelers players after they were forced to take an early bye week earlier in the season as well during the Titans debacle. I see a lot of them expressing their displeasure on Twitter

I can understand the NFL moving the game under the circumstances but you are right about the lack of consistency. Didn’t the League make the Raiders play without several linemen a few weeks ago? What’s the difference here?

They did and also the San Francisco 49ers had to play with their tribute to the 1982 and 1987 strike team. I don’t see why it shouldn’t be the same across the board.

Have the NFL given a reason at all given how it's been handled thus far?

I’d imagine that this particular game was moved because Ravens players are still testing positive and the game is tomorrow. Too much risk of it spreading further. They probably want it all to settle down and have a few days of no further cases before bringing the team back together and letting the Ravens back on the field. Unfortunate but understandable

I can’t remember the circumstances behind the Raiders and 49ers games, I’m guessing the cases well were earlier in the week and the game Sunday

Vince Young on SS for the games tonight. Seems a good talker. Makes me feel so.old looking at him with a bit of grey in his beard. I remember being so excited watching him playing for the Longhorns and it doesn't feel that long ago.
Was sure he was going to change the QB position the NFL and maybe he would have if he had got with.the right franchise. His skills are what we are seeing from the best in the NFL now.

- You fumble.
- No, you fumble!

They are as bad as each other, do most things wrong, fumbles missed tackles missed extra points, but it's entertaining

I’m just turning on this game and and that’s doesn’t sound great.

With any luck, Patricia will be fired this week. Embarrassing performances 2 weeks in row, on top of the terrible start to the season.

They've a heap of injuries haven't they?

Yeah, on offence, which hasn't really been the biggest problem most of the year. The problem is the defence which is supposedly Patricia speciality. In the last five games they've given up 163 points. No offence is going to keep up when leaking that many points. He's turned what was a perennial playoff contender under Caldwell, into a laughing stock.

I think that team was at the end of its time. He faced a rebuild if I remember correctly.
I think if he gets another season that things will improve.

Bad fumble there by Zeke, he has to hold on to that

That chase from McClaurin after the INT was really something. Cowboys come away with just a FG. Fair fúcks to the Football Team D.

Yeah and I'm not blaming Dalton either. The loss of the tackles really hurt them.

So is the game Sunday is even more doubt ? I take you mean Baltimore Lamar.

Does McCarthy keep his job? Those fake punts were madness. A run play on 4th and 10 in your own redzone?!

Normally I’d say no but this is Jerry Jones and all that goes with it so maybe.
