Jags to win a game? Not Fuc*ing Likely. Shake my head at the ineptitude of this organisation.

Are they playing in London next week? A few coaches seem to get sacked after losing at Wembley...

Bears go 0-3. it's normally at this point I revert to neutral interest in the rest of the NFL.

Starting to believe the Steelers hype btw.

The newly all fit OL have been brilliant (we've had tough luck with injuries the past two years) both in creating gaps for DeAngelo Williams and protecting Big Ben. A fully fit Le'Veon Bell behind these guys will be scary. The emergence of Sammy Coates as a legitimate deep threat has softened the blow of losing Bryant, whilst Williams, James and Rogers have really helped out in the short passing game, this will only improve with Bell's return.

The defense has played big in the red zone, neither the Skins or The Bengals have looked like running on us. Pass rush has gone missing a bit though, despite Mike Tomlin's assertions Jarvis Jones continues to disappoint and Tuitt hasn't quite developed into the sack monster he could be. Yet.

Both co-ordinators have called big games so far as well. Really impressed.

That went well.

****ing dire last night. It was Ben & Antonio vs The Eagles.

They need to find a pass rush and soon. 1 sack in 3 games.

Wow. Sorry hotchillidog but this Redskins D sucks...

I was saying far worse at the time of your post....

What a crazy game. Definite wounded animal syndrome coming into play with this game as caution was thrown to the wind in attempt to avoid an 0-3 start. Still as hard as it was to watch as interested party it was highly entertaining. The cracks in this team have not even come close to be being papered over but I can at least enjoy this week now.

Steelers got stuffed, not happy.

So who actually supports who on here?! Do we have a list or anything?

I think there is/was one.

Packers for me.
Although as my podcast listening is DC centric I have a very good knowledge of the 'Skins.
(please note the lack of the phrase 'second team')

The Steelers are banged up and it is starting to catch up with them. Sadly the Eagles look pretty good. I am actually gutted that two of my most hated teams have decent rookie QB's that I actually like. Wenz has been a revelation in Philly and Prescott (who I thought was great at Mississippi State) has made it easier for Romo to bow at the end of the season in D*llas.

We made it so easy for Wentz. Injuries may excuse the defense to an extent, they had a Brighton/ Wednesday playoff semi final first leg - esque run of luck.

Really enjoyed the Skins/Giants game though. Was a great watch.

Did they mention on the Sky coverage that Darren Sproles is now top ten all time in All-Purpose yardage?

 

[Southern Scouse]

I do believe my Redskins won in NY.
I feel smug and good, at least for the next few days.

There was a list in the NFL thread from a couple of years ago. I believe I was, and most likely still am, the only Jaguars fan

Brilliant result for the Vikings!

It's crazy how well we're doing this year. Especially with an injury to Bridgewater which has him out for the season plus an injury to Adrian Peterson. But Sam Bradford has been quality for us so far. Helps that Zimmer is an amazing coach. Our defence is a testimony to that.

Yep, and the Colts got their first win last night. We are 0-3, bottom of the AFC South and Bortles has already thrown SIX interceptions. We have no running game, no discipline and the coach has lost his way. In the history of the NFL 170 head coaches have reached 50 games. Gus Bradley is ranked 169th for wins . Get him out.

Who left out the Vikes defense in favour of The Steelers in one of their Fantasy Football leagues this week?

*Sheepishly raises hand.*

Really pleased for the Vikes though. They've probably had a year's worth of bad luck and we're not a quarter of the way through the season. I've always had time for Sam Bradford as well, he's a better QB than his professional stats suggest.

I cannot see how Bradley can survive, he has been given time by the front office but he has failed to significantly improve the Jags fortunes. Shame as he is an absolute top bloke. The Colts are also terrible though, could be a good game next week.

I hope it has. I think we have a real shot at the NFC title this year. I'm still having nightmares from Walsh's kick last year.
