All the people who've left the Panthers stadium early :P

At least Haskins stayed till the end of the game this week.

I'm not at all confident about a lot of those. Should be a great weekend.

And nor should I have been.

Goff might get to 300 yards passing by the half.... And I picked Arizona to win!

So far this season he hasn't come close to that new contract but can't really blame him for today. The rain was much worse for his kick before the half and it was a great play to tip it

I'm pretty sure he told Shanahan to pass it on 4th and 1 as well. We all know who is to blame here.

MileHighGuy

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a crowd actually laugh so loudly at a field goal attempt before.

MileHighGuy

Denver's D is so strange this year, generally they've been playing well, and it has been a bright spot in general (I guess) but I can't remember ever seeing a defense that goes to crap when the chips are down as much as this one. Last minute drives, any time they need to make a stop, they come up short time and time again.

MileHighGuy

I couldn't believe they tried to pass on that 4th & 1, and from that particular formation as well. They were gashing them on the ground.

That makes 2 of us.

BonnieSituation

I actually can barely watch us this year.

There's just no identity with the team.

Well, that being said, the sideline gear tonight with the orange bronco is rather tasty, so at least there's some positive.

Itssoeasy

I normally do try to watch some of the late window games on a Sunday but honestly after how the eagles game went I’m not especially in the mood to watch football.

MileHighGuy

Absolutely pathetic sequence of plays from Denver there...fans will not like that. Reminds me of the famous half a loaf game.... Or the john fox kneeldown.

BonnieSituation

My god that last sequence from us there was a Shambles. It was Vance Joseph embarrassing.

49ers tried to out Ravens the Ravens. They came at the King and missed.

.... Not to mention the fare that's being served up is pretty poor.

They should have let mc manus have a go at it ,would have been a record if he got it.

But the risk... I mean if you're conceding TDs from that distance out with 1second on the clock, McManus missing is not your problem.

Awful stuff.

MileHighGuy

Goff dealing tonight. Where has he been the last 5 weeks.

Oh well it might be a blessing then in a weird way.

Bengals, Dolphins and Steelers wins all impacting the lads on the predictions on the first page.

Pittsburgh now half a game behind where they were last year having Ben and AB instead of practice squad RBs and WRs and undrafted QB.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean to be honest, doesn't make much sense.

MileHighGuy

Wadman has to be one of the worst punters in the league. His knee bailed out the offense there though.

MileHighGuy

You wouldn't think the raiders actually had a chance to tie the chiefs at 7-5 had they won this game... There is such a gulf between these teams.

BonnieSituation

Please don't let this go to ot

No one needs more of this.

BonnieSituation

Hon Brandon!

Hayward Jr's P45 is already under the wiper of his vehicle.

rebelyell99

Happy Denver won so Drew could get his first win but man this team has a lot of holes to plug if it wants to contend any time soon.

eagle eye

Our offense is back, finally. Go Patriots!

We didn't get a td but we moved down the field smoothly and I'm expecting us to put up a big score tonight.

Few quid on Patriots to cover the spread.

Mysterypunter

Green bay flags won again, Aaron Rodgers is 36 today, they are in some trouble when he retires.

Although I'd rather a Texans win.

Texans shredding the Patriots to smithereens through the air.

14-3 with 6 mins left in the half.

el Fenomeno

Patriots offense continues to be turgid. So difficult to watch.

I hope the Patriots inserted a buy-back clause into the Jimmy G trade.

Brady is finished.

I think he might have heard that before?
His ancient muscles are only getting warmed up for the AFC championship game.

Interesting second half coming up. Patriots O have to deliver. Not been in this position many times this season

Patriots offense obviously didn't get everybody on the same page at halftime. I think if the Texans score on this drive that it's game over..

It would also help if a few guys could get open for him!

Not many options if at all. Edelman looks off his best.

That's the game right there. Patriots aren't playing anywhere near good enough to turn this around.

Jaysus they're never bet until the last whistle.

Good spot by Orlovsky

At some point this will be true but he isn't far off what he was during previous years where they were successful. During that time he mostly took what was there, there just isn't as much there to take so far. Not sure if it is the playcalling, the quality of the receivers, or Brady's trust in them (or a mix of all 3).

If he does then he's not half the competitor people claim he is. He shouldn't need people talking him or the team down to perform.

The Patriots are missing Josh Gordon. With hindsight, his release was strange.

The trade for Sanu hasn't worked out so far either. Probably made worse by the fact that they could have gotten Sanders for less trade capital and made the cap work.

I'm sure there'll be calls from the fan base to look at Brown. It would be the mother of all u-turns to go tail between their tails back to him. Don't see Kraft doing it.

I foresee a season long ban for Brown the instant anyone seriously looks at him anyway so not worth it.

Sanu is probably drawing a bit more coverage than he is used to. I mean if you have a top corner who doesn't travel into the slot, it is either cover him or Meyers.

Honestly I can see why they made the move. Gordon was hurt and Brady has done better with far worse players in the past.

I understand the move for a WR but I think they went for the wrong one that was on the market. Sanders has looked better despite dealing with a rib injury for most of his time since the trade.

I'd also question how injured Gordon was at the time, it really sounds like it was another issue. He has been able to play since leaving the Patriots, even if his stats aren't great. With his physical attributes he at minimum draw that attention from CBs you mention.

eagle eye

Brady was made to look a lot worse last night than he is. It's quite clear that Harry and Sanu are not up to speed yet. Brady threw the ball to where he expected receivers to be and they weren't in the vicinity. Some of them were struggling to get open and other times running wrong routes.
A lot of work to be done and it needs to be done quickly because we have the Chiefs next and we have to play the Bills again.

I don't think they miss him at all. You can't miss what you never had. He wasn't the Josh Gordon of old. He never developed trust from Brady, and quite frankly he looked very out of shape when he was on the field earlier this year.
