Cam also did it and not in 1950...No? A special unlikely day to be a J-E-T-S fanboy.

Ah, that'd make sense haha.

Ta.

Bad mistake by the Saints secondary there.

Patriots are 4-4 and full of confidence. If we could win 6 of our last nine I'd be very happy. If we managed to sneak into the playoffs that would be awesome just to give Mac Jones a taste of it.

I feel we are moving forward again and will be serious contenders by 2023 if not next year.

Kev8360 · 31-10-2021 11:26pm

that was a strange set of plays by the saints after the 2 min warning. Left way too much time on the clock

need a massive series by the defense to hold onto this lead.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 31-10-2021 11:34pm

Buccs shooting themselves in the foot in this game but Brady really at fault. That was a terrible int. It need also be pointed out that the penalty count is heavily weighted in the Saints favour, and while it is largely deserved, the refs I thought were very flag happy in favour of the home team. To be expected at this stage but yet another regular season loss to the Saints for Brady.

Kev8360 · 31-10-2021 11:35pm

really good game by the saints D - turnovers were massive and the bucs killed themselves with penalties.

Kev8360 · 31-10-2021 11:46pm

you were right - 1st QB since 1950 to have 400 yds and 3 TDs on first start. Cam only had 2 TDs

Just to add to this he’s the second QB to go over 400 yards in their debut with cam newton the other one. And of the four QBs on the list **** Kevin kolb is on it.

Did the chiefs piss off some higher power in the last few weeks ? It’s a case of anything that can go wrong does.

Your man Gore makes running look easy

KrustyUCC · 02-11-2021 1:19am

Chiefs running the ball down the Giants throats and they have no answer on that drive

KrustyUCC · 02-11-2021 1:30am

Giants settle for 3

Won't do v the Chiefs

eagle eye · 02-11-2021 2:42am

Chiefs have been awful again. Three points down with basically the full fourth quarter left but it's only 17-14 and 14 points through three quarters for this Chiefs offense is not near good enough. I realise they are capable of pulling out the win but this game shouldn't even be close at this stage, the Chiefs have had plenty if opportunities.

KrustyUCC · 02-11-2021 3:12am

Typical Giants

Had an INT but no offsides

Now chiefs to get a TD

eagle eye · 02-11-2021 3:23am

Chiefs get it done 20-17 but my first thought as soon as it was over was, two bad teams.

9 - 6 takes me to 78 - 44 overall.

Didn't think I'd be saying this this year but for me the Jets were the stand-out performers this weekend. To come back form an absolute hiding last week and get it done against one of the coming teams in the league with all the adversity they are suffering was incredible. I really like Saleh and was happy to see him get the W in the situation. On the flip side I think that's probably it for the Lions now. That looked like being their best chance of the season so far and they get blown out of it. Tough on Campbell but there's only so many times you can keep going back to the emotional well.

Obviously the Saints got the big result against Tampa but for as well as their D played, you'll rarely see Tom Brady so out of sorts. Yes some of it was pressure but some of it was just him having an off night. With Jameis gone now it's hard to see the Saints making much more of this season but at least they'll have that one great result to reflect on.

Sickener for Derrick Henry as well. The league is a lesser place without him. Here's hoping they can make the playoffs and give him a shot at coming back.

7-8 to 75 - 47. Absolute shocker. Went the wrong way on a few close calls and got caught out by the shocks in the Buccs and Bengals games. Jets seem to have something vs the top teams but that game is not a good look for Wilson.
