Our linebackers minus Burfict is trash, it's 2 undrafted guys and a guy who should've been cut years ago.

Oi Nick, I put my money on Pats based on your confidence they'll win. If they lose, you owe me $5.......

Either way I'll make money, or I'll see NE suffer.

Win-Win.


That's great. I'm really happy for you Dean, because i ignored my gut about always backing the Patriots after a loss and instead loaded up significantly on the Bengals -2.5

f**king. Furious.

Well, that ended how I thought it probably would. The biggest problems today for the Cardinals were injuries and drops. Campbell, Stanton, Peterson, Niklas and Bethel today, not to mention the others we already have. And we had about 8-10 drops today, you're not going to beat Denver if you don't catch the ball.

Logan Thomas tried, but he's nowhere near ready to start yet. Apart from that 81 yard TD (which I think was his only completion), it was all 3 & outs.

Hopefully the injuries aren't too bad and they can pick it back up against the Redskins next week.

Bit of a flukey TD that one. Awesome play to pick off Manning's screen pass attempt. Take out those two plays and the game is a yawner, even with plenty of room for improvement in Denver.

Is this January already? The Bengals had me for a minute.

Was just a terrible performance all round, defence kept giving up first downs, there were fumbles, dropped passes, overthrown passes, a few occasions plays had to be rushed because players didn't know where to line up, it was an absolutely shambles.

Yeah, no question that was a fluke throw. He threw it in a weird window and it just happened to come off.

Calais Campbell made an awesome play on that pick (not so much on the return, haha) and he was playing great before he got chop blocked.

But you're right, the Cards were pretty lucky to be in that game for as long as they were. Their red zone offense definitely needs work if they want to defeat the top teams. Denver easily the better team on the day.

Chargers definitely contenders in the AFC. Their games against the Broncos are going to be explosive given how good both teams are on O.

Denver is coming to life though. DT had a huge day yesterday and with Welker back, they are almost unstoppable with DT, JT, Welker and Sanders all lining up. Even guys like Tamme still make a significant contribution when it matters. Just need to get the run game going and even Hillman looked good yesterday.

Up next, the Jets in NY. Should take us to 4-1.

Seattle not looking that impressive tonight. They should be further ahead but Washington are playing some good D. Too bad their O is crap!

Wilson is a freak. How the f**k does he run and throw like that!?!
