NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[El Scorchio]

"southbankbornnbred 11:01 No-one plans for a backup QB, so it'll be really interesting to see how he does when opposing teams start to look at his tendencies, actions and attributes and work it all into a gameplan. He could get hugely found out or turn out to be a surprise starting calibre player."

[Norflundon]

"FC how'd the get on Sunday""¶.."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Hunter is a big loss for the season for your lot, Cough. Only makes life in that division harder, because OC's won't need to double-team with the TE now - probably means that they'll be testing the secondary a bit more. Do you have a decent back-up?"

[Far Cough]

THE FUCKING VIQUEENS

"One thing that I did notice in the Jets' game was that the Bengals, not having seen Mike White before, kept defending deep like they were protecting the ball over the top. White threw the shortage average depth for completions this season. On average, his receivers were standing five yards from him! The yards after catch were off the charts, and that's how the game was won - because the OC plotted to help his backup QB. I'm with Chris Simms on this: if the Jets spent more time planning to help Wilson in the same way, instead of just expecting a #2 draft pick to be able to throw lasers into double-coverage, then they would have won more games. It looks like the OC spent more time planning to help the back-up with a better play-book than he does with the more talented Wilson - who he just expects to be great off the bat (which is rarely the case)."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Grump - both far too good to struggle for long. Top-class players, both."

"Some hilarious local reactions to the Jets' comeback win against the Bengals - including many people in Gotham having a meltdown over the QB situation. Lots of hysterical over-reactions to the idea that golden boy Zach might not be an automatic choice when he returns. We'll see, of course: it was one game and we got a bit lucky when the stray cats made some dubious play calls while leading. Mike White's first start couldn't have gone better, and he's guaranteed to start the next three games, too. If he wins more than he loses, I don't see the problem here - you pick the guy who's winning. Wilson could probably benefit from sitting and learning from the sidelines a little anyway, in the way that even high-draft QBs of the past did. He has no choice at the moment, due to his knee knack, so we'll see how he responds when he's back. Frankly, I couldn't care less if we're paying our starting QB $50m or $5. The NFL is all about winning. especially when you've barely troubled the scorers for ten years."

[Grumpster]

"Mahomes and Kelce look shadows of the players of the past couple of seasons. No idea if its form or carrying niggles, but they'll be lucky to make the play offs."

[Grumpster]

"Kirsten Watson, she's married to the retired Ben Watson."

[El Scorchio]

Oh. It's MJD isn't it. He's not great but that woman is utterly awful.

[Takashi Miike]

"no idea who the woman is, but Maurice was a good running back. not sure people want to watch them flirting :.)"

[El Scorchio]

"Who the fuck are these people ""òpresenting' on channel 5? They are so bad it's like they've called in two people off the street."

[Nutsin]

Burnsie you slag! Do you think you might actually beat us once this year?

[zebthecat]

"I love watching a proper Henry trample fest. He has a rare combination of size, speed and agility. I might have been early this season or late last when he was breaking on the outside and cut in deliberately to stiff arm a safety on his arse. It must be demoralising for the opposition defence when he is on a big day."

[Mr. Burns]

Nutsin 7:24 Mon Nov 1 Ha ha we never have any draft picks yet finish above your shower of shit constantly.

[southbankbornnbred]

Sheesh Burns...are the Broncos tight on the salary cap or something? Or is this just a refresh involving a clear out of older players on big deals? Two Day 2s might be OK if they are early enough picks and you free up big salary space.

[southbankbornnbred]

Disappointing to hear that about Henry. I do like watching him drag about five opponents 20 yards every few carries. The guy is a beast.

[Nutsin]

"Rams are all in on this year. They only have 3 draft picks left for next years draft. A 3rd, 5th and 7th rounder""¶. 3rd is a compensatory pick so it is at the end of the 3rd. That will come back to bite them in the ars! Miller is old and expensive, bad move really! Good news for the Niners!"

[Mr. Burns]

Well they are two day 2 2022 draft picks from us Southbank.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Sounds like both the Rams and Miller going all out on a SuperBowl appearance, too."

[zebthecat]

Derek Henry to have foot surgery. That is probably it for the season.

[southbankbornnbred]

"What?! That's fucking nuts. Unless it's to avoid the loyalty/roster payment if he's still there in Jan/Feb. There's probably a similar figure due then, too, which maybe the Rams will pick up? Otherwise, that makes absolutely no sense."

[Mr. Burns]

"Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos are paying $9 million of Miler's remaining $9.7 million salary."

[southbankbornnbred]

"The rams must be close to busting the salary cap, surely? Some huge contracts flying around that place."

[Mr. Burns]

Von Miller to the Rams.
