Erithacus Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Some narrow squeaks in tonight's games. And then there is Aaron Rodgers. OBJ's foot got turned around badly under an opponent; could be some serious surgery needed now. Elsewhere, Miami have found a way to score. Who knew?

Up The City! Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Great game between Packers and Cowboys. I like both teams so found myself cheering them both on. Cowboys made the huge mistake of going for their final touch down too early. Gave Rodgers just enough time to do his thing. Rodgers seems to come alive in the final 2 minutes. He is incredible and never knows when he is beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we now have a running game and the best arm and receiving core in football hopefully means this could be our year. Our D though playing hurt is holding its own as well. We live in hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 It’s got to be said, I’m massively impressed with the start DeShaun Watson has made, he’s destroyed teams the last 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I support a shit team, but I've never really understood this argument. Yes, obviously it would be better to score just as time expires so the opposition have no time to reply, but surely you have to take every opportunity to score and trust your defence? You may not get another chance. Appreciate that Rodgers is Rodgers, but how stupid would Prescott have looked if he'd gone to ground at the 1 to eat up the clock and they'd failed to punch it in? In other news, the "0-16 Jets" have managed to win three in a row, and currently sit (joint) top of the AFC East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, the "0-16 Jets" have managed to win three in a row, and currently sit (joint) top of the AFC East I guess it’s that time management situation, if you’re inside the 2 minute warning & 1st & 10 on the oppositions 30, you don’t have to go throwing ‘hail Mary’s’ to get that winning TD straight away, you can afford to run a few ground plays before having to worry about going aerial in desperation. And this way it’ll leave very little time on the clock for the opposition to start throwing ‘hail Mary’s’ of their own. As long as things are still tight, teams can easily win or lose a game in a matter of seconds as it comes down to a ‘crapshoot’. And that’s where time management comes into things. Of course, if you’re team are 2 scores or more ahead (or behind) then anytime is a good time to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I generally agree with what your saying, wasn't the score that put the Cowboys ahead, a rushing TD by the QB? Not sure it was necessarily planned as a scoring play, but when it opened up in front of him, I think he made the right choice in trying to score! But anyway, I say that as somebody who supports a team who need to take any opportunity to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To of been told it was a ‘virus’ & that’s it, is very sad, I was only in Southmead Hospital a few weeks back with what I thought was damaged ribs (although I hadn’t done anything to damage my ribs) & was told it was a virus in my chest, I was sent home at 2:30am with not so much as an antibiotic & I’m still having discomfort from my rib area! But you don’t like to keep going on about it to the doctors etc because they’ve already ‘dealt’ with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Saints (a little) when Reggie Bush first came onto the scene but once he left they’ve never seemed to have any runners, obviously Peterson didn’t work out but it seems like him moving on has allowed Ingram & Kamara to enjoy the spotlight. A big game for my Skins tonight, not really understanding why The Eagles are 2nd favourites for this years SuperBowl, I guess I may see later tonight (I hope not).

Erithacus Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Saw Carson Palmer get a right crucher yesterday at Twickers and trot off to the locker room shortly after, broken. He's joining Rodgers in the ward and is being given the 'may end his career' status. We'll see. As a point of interest (possibly) his replacement was a certain Drew Stanton. Couldn't help think of the North Somerset village with the stone circle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles have had a great start, but everyone was backing the Chiefs two weeks ago as well. I'm sure it will be one of the 'big' boys lifting it. Again..... Be a good time tonight though Agree about the running game for the Saints. Seems like it was forgotten about whilst Brees was fit, and younger, but he needs the help now. Ingram has really stepped up, and Kamara has made a bright start. Good times, hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly done Brees no harm personally throughout his career but if he had had a better running game available to him it could of certainly done the team no harm! As GJ used to say, the more ‘clubs in the bag’ & all that...... Only having a passing game to worry about made it easier for everyone to defend against them, all a little too one dimensional.
