That was a bullshit call...

The Lions dominated that game, in that weather too. A huge win that.

Yeah it was such a strange call. What was he so supposed to do in those conditions at that speed? Anything slowed down always looks worse, but when played at normal speed you usually see the reality of it.

Anyway, great result with another really tough away game at the Texans next week. Get through that and they have a run of relatively easier games for 3 weeks so realistically could well be 10-2. Williams and Branch back next week so things looking very good for the Lions.

Tank away. I’m not particularly interested in college football, but I believe there isn’t much choice in terms of QB talent coming from this next years talent pool. Raider fans on X talk about Sanders but some think he’s got baggage and Cam Ward. They are a mess and I don’t think a QB fixes them.

Offensive Coach given his P45 last night. I'm already missing his play-calling:
1st down - run - lose a yard,
2nd down - run - lose 3 yards,
3rd down - high risk incomplete pass or QB sack,
4th down - punt.

There is also the theory that a fish rots from the head down in which case bowl-cut has a lot to answer for. Think we've had 2 winning seasons in the past 20-odd years.
 
Arizona going through the Jets defense like the Nazis went through France!!

If some of the spoiled City supporters are upset due to a 4 game losing streak try supporting the Jets and the Mets!!

Just as I typed this….21-6 Arizona. Same old Jets.
 
Jets getting whipped like rented mule. Total capitulation, embarrassing.

Blow it up-AGAIN!!

Don’t think there are any dead cert QBs coming out anyway. Haven’t really seen much of Deions kid.
 
Jets and Bears both humbled. Maybe not a wasted weekend after all.

I watched this game and it was really ugly. What happened to the Jets defence? Arizona are a decent team but the Jets D absolutely got their arse handed to them. Rodgers looks washed up.

We have a terrible reputation of taking QB's in the first round who turn out to be pure cack.

I'd rather we wrestled Baker Mayfield away from the Bucs, at least he has some fighting spirit. Rodgers is just embarrasing.

Tbf...thats most teams who draft a QB in the first round. Its almost a no-win situation for them, aside from the obvious financial incentive. A talented QB in college gets drafted most likely by a struggling team (due to them picking high) with lots of holes to fill & lack of a strong team identity.

I've always felt its more more about whether the QB suits the system than talent. Of course there are some exceptions but even Peyton Manning had a poor rookie QB season for the Colts & eventually matured & won a Superbowl with the right team.

I'm unsurprised with Rodger's behaviour as it was a big reason why he dropped way down in the draft to the Packers due to his personality traits & perceived arrogance at California, whilst the 49ers went with more of the 'safer' QB option in Alex Smith. In saying all of this it all worked out for Rodgers going to a competitive Green Bay team & learning under Brett Favre.
 
As a Dolphin fan, the thought of the Chiefs going undefeated & emulating the '72 Dophins is nauseating. Think they play they still have to play the Bill's & then the Steelers on the last week of the regular season.

I know many of you gents following this thread and the NFL are rather new fans. I found a great series on YouTube about the old AFL. The AFL was formed in 1960 I believe as the NFL was a closed shop. It’s excellent and has some great footage and interviews.

It’s called Full Color Football and it 5 episodes I think. It’s on a channel called TheAFLHistory b

Just finished watching the Lions and no idea how they managed to win that. 5 interceptions from Goff and down 15, some comeback that.

Yep an ugly win but the defence really stepped up in the 2nd half.

That's three big wins on the road, hopefully there won't be a let down on Sunday because the place will be rocking.
