It was really embarrassing, my cousins who went to the game yesterday at Wembley felt like leaving at half time, Lil Davis really looks like an imbecile though. I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to work for him. Its gonna be a looooong rebuild there to clear off this roster and try to add talent.

They've been rebuilding since they last went to the Superbowl in 2002, so I don't know what needs to change. They cleared their salary cap and went into FA and the draft with money and picks and this is what they get.

Dennis Allen has been fired. First HC to get booted this season. First pick in the draft, no doubt.

**** the Patriots. Had their defense. Needed 8 points for the win. ****ing minus 2. I hate them so much. So even though I loved seeing them get destroyed, I am some ****ing pissed off about it.
Travis Kelce got me 15 points and won me my game (now 3-1 in my league):D

Someone needs to buy that team out from that idiot of an owner Mark Davis (who by the way looks like he cuts his own hair) and also replace that moron of a GM Reggie McKenzie,who should have been fired after that Roger Saffold debacle. If people think that the Browns head coach search was a circus at the end of last season they haven't seen anything yet. I don't see anybody wanting to work with that team and owner ,my best guess is that they have to promote from inside.

So do you guys think the Patriots golden era is over? Shame just saw now they benched Brady.

I wouldn't say the benched Brady, they decided to give Jimmy a chance to play and get some much needed snaps in as the game was out of the Pats reach by that point.

Most of the blame should be put on Bill, who while is a great coach is however pretty poor GM ( his track record in the draft is horrible, esp @ drafting wide receivers) he just does a terrible job of developing young players.

The Patriots are in decline but not done. It's not easy to go into Arrowhead against a decent Chiefs side, add the turn overs and picks to that and it looked really bad. Not sure if they will bounce back against the Bengals but its a good spot for them to do so.

Oh I don't think they are done,part of the reason is that they play in somewhat a joke of a division,imo if they want to advance further they going to need to get better weapons on offense, as the current wr core they have is a huge joke ( most of those wr wouldn't be starting on most teams and Gronk is so damn injury prone.

At best they can hope for is a wildcard spot at the end of the season.

Man oh man,what a night of football!
Broncos impressive!
Eagles are a fake team if you ask me,Foles is not all he is made out to be and that Rams team would have beaten them 7 times out of 10.
Then theres the Patriots,Brady and co answered their critics with a massive performance and the bengals are back to bungals.

As good as the Patriots looked on offense (which was basically returning to a simpler offence) they still struggled a lot on defense, I think the game could have been a lot closer if the bungles didn't continuously shoot themselves in the foot with stupid penalties.

Only discovered this thread now... nice to see guys interested in NFL.
Ive been trying to catch up on the 12 pages spanning 4 years but will be easier to just post now:
How many of you would be interested in a Mybroadband fantasy league next season?
I know its a long time away but I have 3 South Africans in my league currently and we would love to have more guys involved.
We currently play on CBS Sports but we are open to other platforms like ESPN or Fox.

Broncos vs Chargers , Manning vs Rivers, Friday night football, can't wait
Yip got 2 player in my league currently going tonight (Demarius Thomas, Rivers and Brandon Oliver) only crappy thing is Foxsports 2 isnt showing the thursday night games so will have to stream it. I expect a high scoring game, Chargers would be wise to slow down the tempo of the game and keep Manning on the bench as long as possible.

As far as I know cbs runs the one for nfl.com. the commissioner system takes too long to resolve trade disputes. Like 3-4 weeks which can kill a game only lasting 14 weeks. Will keep your details and pm closer to the time

yeah as good as the cowboys have looked the real test will be in December which is around the time that they usually fall apart.

Big BIG Packers fan here!! Go Pack Go.

Cant believe I didn't think to look for South African NFL fans on my Broadband. Will be sure to check in this thread more regularly. So glad to hear I am not the only one watching touch and go streams on doddgy websites. (No NFL All Access)

Busy watching the NYG@SEA now.

By the way have any of you guys seen a shop selling any NFL jerseys?

Nice to meet another fan, game tonight should be good, for fantasy purposes Im hoping both Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson have good game, so far Im only up 10points in my game.

Also watching the Seattle vs Giants game, loving Odell Behkam right now.
