      49ers injury curse continues. The 49-IRs is more appropriate.

      The best linebacker in the nfl Fred Warner fractured his ankle

        oof, i feel for the London fans that had to watch the Broncos and the Jets. Defensive masterclass from the Broncos, 9 sacks, -10 passing yards. But the offence did not do it's part and in the end Denver win by 2.

        I watched the game.

        So. Many. Punts. And holy crap Fields was awful.
        Jets D was superb. Offence was horrific.

          Fuck they have a lot of money in American football.

          Not NFL but College.
          James Franklin out as Penn State HC.
          $49 million buy-out!
          Penn State was ranked No. 3 in the country 15 days ago!

          Not the record buy out either; Texas A&M payed 76 mil to get rid of one of their coaches.

            They really do.

            TV revenue distributed to teams of about $18B/year. It's insanity. But an amazing product.

            And colleges have 'boosters' who pump money in. And they don't pay the athletes. It's insanity.

              I mean, sure if you want to run 3 straight plays for a 3-4 yards. And if that's a 4m drill or 1st and goal or something that's very valuable. If you're at your own 32 that's less useful.

              I can't remember what the average starting field position is, but let's say it's about the 35. That's 65 yards, or 6 first downs. With 7+1+1+1 you need to convert the tush push 18 times. Even with a 96% success rate, you're less than 50% to convert 18 times in a row.

              Don't get me wrong, short yardage situations are important and in a close match might be decisive. It might be the difference between winning and losing a very close superbowl (or a blown call, or how a fumble bounces, or a ridiculous one handed catch). But in the NFL close games are basically coin flips - when you have two evenlish matched teams a couple of plays are generally the difference. But over the scope of a season, the 'mean play' is far more important. The Eagles DL getting on top of the opposition OL. Saquon running all day. Hurts being an effective passer (and AJ Brown being a top 5 receiver). That's what gets them into a position where they're a couple of yards short. In games where they fail to do the basics first, it doesn't matter how many guaranteed one yard gains they get, they'll still lose.

              Some times you just need to burn up the clock (to keep the ball out the hands of some fucker like P Mahomes).

              I'd say the Eagles actually train for this.
              With this play; and all other things being equal; like the Eagles offense reverting to the mean, they'll be just about unbeatable.

              And all the rest of the teams will simply have to follow. It's a copy-cat league.
              And the game as a spectacle will be different.
              And the NFL are very cognisant of how their game presents. Not like say Rugby union for example.
              The only surprising thing about this play, is that the rest of the teams are not working on it already.

              The Bills use it most of all the other teams; and I note they were one of the teams that voted to ban it at the meeting a few months ago.

                Haha, yeah.

                Some booster just coughed up 49 mil.
                GET RID OF THIS FUCKER!

                I think I read somewhere that Penn State has more CEO alumni than other college in a America.
                So a lot of booster type money hangin round.

                  what even is this season?

                  The Giants pumped the Eagles
                  The Jags a week ago beat the Chiefs, this week lose to the Seahawks
                  The Ravens stink!
                  The Falcons beat the Bills!
                  The Bears won!

                  The fucking Patriots are back at the top of the AFC East
                  The Colts are the 1 seed of the AFC
                  The Bucs are the 1 seed of the NFC
                  There are a LOT of 4-2 or 3-3 teams

                    @mariner4life how good.

                    And the first coach firing too!

                    And Indiana Jones is reborn.

                    It's ridiculous fun. Loving it.

                      They had to fire him.
                      Vrabel is coming to town with the Pats this weekend.
                      Vrabel was the previous coach. And the Titans sacked him for fuck all reason.
                      He was popular with the fans; and is doing a great job at the Pats.
                      I think the Titans owner (female) didn’t like him.
                      The popular sacked coach comes back to town and deals to them.
                      The crowd will go off their f’ing heads if they get whacked on Sunday.

                          And the Bengals get up and win! ridiculous! Chase is elite. his hands, speed, acceleration - just magnificent. And Flacco threw some sweet balls - for 10 days with the team he looks incredible.

                          Steelers will be gutted. Bengals D is awful but they turned over twice and that's all she wrote.

                            The Denver Broncos were dogshit today, losing 0-19 to the Giants at 3/4 time.

                            They have just kicked a last second field goal to win 33-32. Absolutely insane 4th quarter.

                                Not NFL, but there were a number of very good college games on the weekend. That Ole Miss v Georgia game and then the Tennessee and Arkansas games were great.

                                      Denver bitch slap the Cowboys, the season is going pretty well.

                                      Dolphins got a win to probably save two jobs
                                      Ravens get a win with their back-up QB
                                      Patriots and Colts continue to have good seasons
