"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."

He was a superb QB for many years - one of the best ever. But he’s in severe decline just as his ego has blown the roof off.

I'd love to have seen him play for the 49ers at some point in career. Obviously not now though!

Aaron rogers did set one record yesterday.
He took Tom Brady's record as the most sacked QB of all time.
I really hope that Rodgers sees sense and announces his retirement in January. The Jets’ experiment with him has been - as I feared at the time - an unmitigated disaster.
He’s declining in quality (albeit from a high benchmark at Green Bay), injury prone and - more than anything else - a terrible distraction and circus for the club.
He’s been the graveyard of two head coaches, a general manager and his mate at OC. It’s time this whole shitshow ended.
Of course others are also to blame for the continued debacle in New York. None more than Woody Johnson. But just at the tipping point when Joe Douglas and Rob Saleh could have gone either way (in terms of success with the Jets: they had briefly built a decent defense, at least), Johnson insisted on going all in on Rodgers - and it brought the whole house down (not enough cap space or draft picks to build an o-line, took Saleh’s attention away from the defense etc).
I won’t miss him at all.

I’ve been hoping that the loss of Tua for a run games didn’t cost us. Play offs looked out of reach for the Dolphins a few weeks back, still not too likely but in with a chance going into the last game - wasn’t expecting that.
I am beginning to hope.
We need to beat the Jets and the Chiefs to do us a favour.
Having said that it would be travesty if we make the play-offs and Joe burrow doesn't.
I wonder what Aaron Rogers.Madden score will be next time around?
Yeah - I’ve got a lot of respect for Burrow. Suspect if we do get through we’ll go out in the first round. I remember getting that sinking feeling when it was away vs. Bills in the snow.
I’ve started watching the Madden game documentary, pretty good stuff so far - funny watching the players reaction to how they’ve been scored. What an industry to work in when one of the jobs is a score evaluator

WTF?! That’s a great win for the Giants - at the worst possible time!
Shorty’s going to go nuts!
South. I’m beyond nuts. First the bending over for Liverpool. Then this.! These are the types of days where you question your own logic in following organise sports. Is it for fun. Loyalty. Or the perverse feeling of being alive. Only when you’re team are only making you miserable.? “Pain is so close too pleasure.” Doesn’t even start to cover it.
Either way. There couldn’t have been a couple of games that have summed up 2024 than West Ham and the New York Giants yesterday. Top too bottom. What a mess. And what a joke.!
GO G MEN.
I hear that, Shorty. That’s EXACTLY how I feel every year with West Ham and the Jets. I still wouldn’t have it any other way, though.
Keep the faith, fella.

Yup. Can’t even fucking tank properly. You just know this utterly pointless benefitless win will cost a quarterback.

After missing out on a starting QB last time around.(Thank you. Tommy Cutlet’s.) We ain’t fucking around this season. Especially with only two worth fighting over. Colts and Eagles left. No surprise’s please lads.
GO G MEN.
You had a look at the two main candidates to go at 1? Who do you want? And what's the situation with Kafka being given the assistant head coach role instead of just OC, is Daboll ready to be binned?
Miike. I’ve said Ward all season. But I’m happy with either. As for the coaching side. If they bin Daboll. It’s best too clear house. Getting Jones to drag us into the playoffs. And winning coach of the year. Put a hugh target on his back. And we have gone backwards on the field. Schoen certainly ain’t without blame. But his picks last spring have been solid. And the mess he has untangled us from. Is only now being aspirated. And he still hasn’t yet picked a QB. Hopefully the worse is over.?

great win, in spite of all the mistakes. daniels superb again
Just caught up in the highlights of Washington/Eagles.
Superb stuff from Daniels, again. Mad game, that.
SB, he's doing this historic shit with a pretty ordinary (bar terry mclaurin) group of weapons. one name to keep an eye on as another potential superstar, 17 year old bryce underwood who's just committed to michigan, after switching from LSU (clearly for money). he looks special
