NFL 2018

That Alex Smith injury is awful. Given his age I'm extremely worried it'll be a career-ender. Fortunately, if you can use that word, it was his leg and not his ankle. So assuming the bones heal nicely he shouldn't have any real long-term issues.

Lamar Jackson played pretty well today. He's lethal on the ground. Sometimes he throws the ball poorly, but he seems capable of reading a defense which our incumbent QB hasn't been able to do for 11 seasons.

I can't remember the last time I turned off an Eagles game, but I'll be tuning into Survivor Series in a few minutes.  While the fact our secondary is basically people pulled out of the stands at this point, thats not the entire reason we suck this season.  We can't block, we can't score, we can't tackle, we can't run the ball

[Lineker]

New Orleans are actually obscene this year.

[gunnar hendershow]

Everything that could have regressed in Philly did. They'll likely bounce back next year. Granted, even after this week they'll be 2 back in a division that looks more and more like it'll be won by an 8-8 team. 

And New Orleans are 100% Super Bowl favorites right now.

My fantasy team is kinda falling apart but the Bears are doing great. That is a trade off I will take every year

On the the contrary, I watched every second!

I mean, if you told me two years ago, we'd have this stat

I'd still be pretty happy because we won a Super Bowl

[Lineker]

Tonight's game should be a little bit good.

An 8-8 team you say?

Just need Brandin Cooks to score at least 26 fantasy points tonight. No big deal

It could well happen! It's been a real back and forth contest though!

 

Meanwhile, Washington are signing Mark Sanchez.

Could be a crazy game. It's the highest ever total points spread offered in an NFL game at 63.5.

I've got €20 on the under though, so hopefully it's a drab affair!😏

I feel like it’s gotta be one extreme or the other right? It’s gonna be either 42-41 or 18-14 or some other stupid low scoring affair.

Oh almost definitely gonna be a mad score or a very tight one. I just saw a points total that high and couldn't not back the under!

Last time I was this confident was the Falcons/Pats Superbowl, backing the under at 57.5.

Boy was I happy at 28-3 midway through the 3rd quarter.

[Meacon Keaton]

Weren’t we all...

[gunnar hendershow]

I remember the memes at 28-3. The laughter. The joy.

And then Kyle Shanahan went and forgot to burn the clock.

[The Buscher]

One half into Chiefs/Rams and I can already say with certainty that I hope that they meet again in the Super Bowl.

[Lineker]

The Saints would like a word  

[The Buscher]

Send it to my voicemail, I don’t check those.

I kid, Chiefs/Saints would be fun too.  Or Chiefs/Bears.

Basically, just no more damn Pats and Steelers SB appearances.

[GhostMachine]

The Saints vs. Rams is the one postseason matchup I most want to see.

If/when that occurs, I'll be pulling for the Saints.
