My Texans givin' y'all a late Thanksgivin' present. Y'all appreciate it now. So much for that Pats D....bless their hearts.

Can't see us ending up in the AFC's top 2, but with games against the Broncos, Bucs and Titans x 2 to come, it's looking good.

A few weeks ago that schedule would have seemed like a bit of a cakewalk, but the NFL changes fast. The Broncos defence is playing hard and they might actually have a QB in Lock now, Jameis is actually playing well in Tampa, he’s 2nd is passing yards behind Dak. But the real test comes in the two Divisional games against the Titans, they are rolling under Tannehill, Henry is running for 100+yards week in week out. Should be an entertaining close to the AFC South with the Jags resuming the rightful position as the division doormat :(

Tannehill's certainly playing well and Henry is a beast, but they've got a tough run in. @ Raiders (6-6), v Texans (8-4), v Saints (10-2), @ Texans (8-4)

With the schedule, the game advantage and Wk 17 at NRG, I'd think I'd rather be in our cleats than theirs.

As bad as they currently are, Jags have their 4 remaining games against no-one with better than 6-6. There's got to be at least one win there...surely? :smile:

Unlikely. The franchise is in utter meltdown. The owner, Shahid Kahn calls out the fans for not attending despite serving a 36-90 record under his ownership, you’ve got Doug Marrone having screaming matches with Tom Coughlin, players fighting amongst themselves. The roster is bereft of talent, the play calling abysmal, zero discipline, nobody seems to want Foles who appears to be a $55m car crash. The whole thing needs a complete rebuild. It’s time to clean house. Regarding the remaining schedule, Ekeler and Gordon will run all over the defence, as will Jacobs for the final ever game at Oakland. Matt Ryan will pass all over the non existent secondary. There isn’t another W coming this season.

Lock did well but then so did Allen in his first start. Our D should have Von Miller back next week but we are running out of Linemen and now looks like Wolfe is out for the season having dislocated his elbow yesterday so the D may be a little patched up next week.

Nice of us to win a game as time expires for a change having lost a couple that way this season.

If ever there was an example of "a game of two halves", last night was it. Eli looking superb in the 1st half, and the G Men sticking it to the Eagles, before capitulating with just 30 yds of offense in the 2nd half, and an O/T loss.
Even as a Browns fan, I feel sorry for the NYG fans out there who must be incredibly frustrated with the mediocrity they find themselves mired in these days.

Yep 17-3 ahead and we f***** it up. Giants fans seem resigned to our current woes. Hard to believe we won the SB twice in the last 12 years

Only just managed to catch up with most of Red Zone, what a great match between 49ers and the Saints, glad the 49ers triumphed in the end. Good also to see the Skins looking at least slightly competitive against the Packers :thumbsup:

Some would say the guy manning the quarterback position is not quite up to snuff.

As a long suffering Browns fan it REALLY pains me to see the Ravens do well but, by 'eck, that Jackson kid is something else.
When I watched him in college I really didn't think he would be a great success in the Pros, but hes proving a lot of people wrong so far.

Ravens are probably the only AFC team capable of competing with the NFC this season.

Forecasting a very cold 17f (-7C) for the start of the game - fans being given free hot drinks to keep warm.

Oh I was expecting it just to be dark and probably raining, with burning embers lighting the night sky. :dunce:

That messed up the Oakland leaving party!

As for the Texans, they edged out the Titans. A win on Saturday at the Bucs and that might be enough. And JJ might be back for the Playoffs. :banana:

Away from the AFC South, what an incredible end to the Falcons @ 49ers game. NSC's Dubai-based Seahawks fan must be pleased with that. :smile:

I have no idea how the Packers are 11-3 as they appear to be pretty shitehouse.
Although I guess playing the care Bears twice a season helps.

Still half was to the Stat Derby Double.
