Tyreek hill is as good as gone from the NFL. Good Riddance to an absolutely disgusting human being. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001028165/article/chiefs-gm-tyreek-hill-away-from-team-for-foreseeable-future Whilst I expect the Chiefs to cut him, I don't think he's finished in the NFL. He ha...

It would be typical of both Pats and Cardinals for there to be a trade tomorrow, New England mid-round pick goes to Arizona for Josh Rosen. He gets groomed into a star behind Brady for 2 years by which time Kyler Murray is throwing out base runners in the minor leagues.

27 picks in, still not CB taken.

Well Daniel Jones looks like Eli Manning. No idea if he plays like him. Maybe the Giants GM took the brief "find a young Eli" too literally? Reading a bit more about Jones, it does seem like he was very much the Giant's guy, so I can understand why they didn't risk him not being there still at thei...

Vikings take Bradbury at 18. I was hoping he'd slide to the Rams.

I think Rosen could become a very decent QB in the right situation (Arizona is not the right situation and I'm not sure NY is, but it might be). Would be fun to see both NY teams with QBs from the same draft class who came out of rival LA schools) The Rams said outright that they did not resign Suh ...

Clay Matthews joins the Rams. Home town discount for the end of his career. Not sure how much he has left in the tank but I've always been a fan since his USC days so it's cool to see him in horns.

Vontez Burfict has joined the Raiders to be close with his 'best buddy' Antonio Brown

And while we are talking Rams backup QBs and Jacksonville. I'm still not sold on Case Keenum's old backup as a franchise QB. Great superbowl and no doubt he's capable of hot streaks like Fitzmagic, but Nick Foles as full-time franchise saviour? Colour me skeptical. He had a lot of help in Philly.

Well Bortles has been signed for a 1yr deal. He's actually a decent upgrade on Mannion as Goff's backup. Last year our punter was the more trusted back-up thrower. Hekker had 4 throws to Mannion's season total of 3. Bortles will get paid $7.3m next season, of which $6.5 will be paid by Jacksonville....

Quite interesting stats, like the article says unfortunately the study only focuses on Fairfax and Murdoch, it really is a pity there weren’t more included in the study, pretty damming though. Question is are they merely pandering to their audience or are they steering their audience, both are scar...

I see the Crusaders may have to change their name on the back of this.

Worryingly the Rams have been kicking the tires on Bortles to be Goff's backup.

village

It was a terrible game and a complete no-show by our offensive line and our coach. McVay choked in the big game more than Goff did. No adjustments to try and get something going. Our defense played great. I feel so bad for them because to hold Brady and the Pats to 13 points in a Superbowl is an inc...

Interesting story from the betting markets that the main odds setter's model told him to set the line as Rams by 3 points. His gut told him he couldn't do that so he set it at Rams by 1 point and as soon as the book opened, the flow of money drove it to Pats by 3 points. Similarly listening to Brian...

DBs all seem to have that sort of trash talking attitude. On a team with Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib it's not that surprising that Robey-Coleman has begun acting like Jalen Ramsey. I groaned when I saw it because, yes, it's bound to blow up in his face. He'll likely be covering Edelman over the mid...

It seems about right that the Pro Bowl gets Witten and the Superbowl will have Romo. Big question this week is, how injured is Todd Gurley. I'm not buying the notion that he only got 4 snaps against the Saints but wasn't playing hurt. If the Pats win on Sunday it will be Brady for MVP. If the Rams w...

8) SUPERBOWL BABY!! A bum-clenching marathon of a game and a dreadful non-call by the refs - the Saints understandably aggrieved. They were robbed. How about Greg Zuerlein though. 2 incredible kicks. First away team in 6 years to win a conference game. Feels unreal. Now on to Atlanta. The Hollywood ...

I personally was expecting the Colts and Chargers to play a lot better than they did in the divisional round. Chargers had a better reco...

Well so far 2 pretty easy wins for the home team favourites. Got to be an away upset in one of the other games at least...right?

Go Eagles and Chargers

You’d need the personnel just right. I’m imagining Tannehill (played wr freshman year) throwing to OBJ, Edelman, Gordon and Pryor. Would be pretty hilarious :lol: Good call on Tannehill - played all but his senior year at WR and was pretty good. But Pryor kind of highlights the issue. He's a below ...

I've always thought a team full of running QBs and converted running QBs like Pryor could really mess with NFL defenses. Imagine if multiple skill position players were a legit threat to throw the ball on any play and the QB was a legit receiving threat. I think you'd have success for a game (or a ...

Show I saw had the odds at 13,000 to 1 (that was based on 6 of the 7 being random). Yeah it's certainly fishy. It would be interesting to know if any other player this season has been tested that many times. I suspect that the data would probably back up McAfee's assertion that it's targeted. Golde...

It's 5 tests in 11 games (plus 2 tests as part of his pre-signing physical). Which is still fishy. Mind you, every team has 10 players tested after each game, so you've a 22% chance of getting picked each week. Any stats guys know what the probability of a 22% chance event happening 5 out of 11 pote...

Pretty sure the conference record gives the Texans the tie breaker over the Pats, so for pats to get a bye they need Texans to lose to BOTH Eagles and Jags.

Rams have been diabolical. No offense for 3rd game in a row. Gurley playing hurt, Goff has been dreadful. Age seems to have caught up with the OL vets.

15-6 Bears now going into the 4th. Goff not playing well. He was below par last week too so this is not a good trend heading into the business end of the year.

Bears D absolutely shutting down the Rams offense. Impressive stuff.
