Well Russell Wilson's streak of consecutive starts ends at 149. Out for 4 to 8 weeks with a ruptured tendon in. His hand.
TNF was actually not bad - with a couple of decent teams.
That said, Seattle could now be a dumpster fire with RW out. Geno Smith wasn't bad, but no one is going to extend a play like Russ.
Seems like lots of decent teams playing at the moment. Very few terrible teams as well... even the Browns aren't too bad!
Even the Bengals are in the black.

Both Seattle and the niners are sagging badly due to injuries

@canefan just watched Chargers Browns. Wow, what a game. Browns have come from an absolutel train wreck to a decent football team. Herbert is some player. Mayfield deserves a lot of credit for getting in and turning around that dumpster fire.
Good fun league this year

It's wide open this season, lots of teams who could get hot and win it all

It's about time those early 1st round picks added up. Their defence and 1-2 punch RB's are carrying Mayfield.
I actually believe Mayfield is holding them back. Run the ball on 3rd and 10? Goes to show what the Browns think of Mayfield. Mayfield lacks the clutch gene. -

So much for a 10 year deal. Jon Gruden resigns as raiders coach. Honestly I think he has used the latest media coverage of some incredibly tasteless but not particular severe comments to get out of dodge because that raiders team isn't going anywhere near a Superbowl any time soon.
The sense is that if he didn't resign there were more emails that were going to be released......
-
huge investigation in to the internal culture of WFT, including some really ordinary shit
And it's Gruden's that get released?
hmmmm
You don't send emails like that unless the guys you are writing to feel the same
Seriously Jon, your views are dumb anyway, but to do it on a work email?

^^^ This. Who goes into writing with that sort of stuff?

After a 3-0 start to the season (because they played the worst 3 teams in the comp) the Broncos have gone 0-3 in their last 3, and it's been ugly.
And, if social media is any indication, the fan base is pissed. Pissed at the front office, pissed at the coach, pissed at the moves made, especially at QB
And justifiably so.
Yes, it's a tough division, but the Broncos are pretty fucking average. And going nowhere with a plan based around "just do enough" thinking that doesn't build anything, nor fall back far enough to get really high picks. Shit, sort of like the Spurs...
Another weird weekend
Ravens smoked the Chargers, which i doubt anyone saw coming
The Jags won a game! And Miami suck (that division man, it's always 1 good team and 3 dumpster fires)
Panthers are falling back to the pack
Patriots managed to take the Cowboys to OT (Trevon Diggs has 6 interceptions in 5 games) -
sorry, my info was a week out of date, Diggs has 7 picks in 6 games.
that's insane
The record for most in a season is 14. He has 11 games to get 8
-
Derrick Henry is really big and really fast.

35 km /h, and 108 km/h. Ridiculous. Forget trying to tackle him.
thing is, he has a side step to go with it. He's insane.

Fun game, Jones could be a pretty good QB. Receivers weren't great, and the defence was terrible, but he played pretty well. Belichek always does this - pulls a bunch of no-names, and builds them into some sort of decent defence by the end of the year. Could be one loss too many so far though.
There are very few dud teams, adn a whole lot of good games out there. This has been one of the best seasons I can remember so far.
Loving Aaron Rodgers trash talking the fans - don't taunt the players, taunt the fanbase!

distribution skills would be pants.
Wing, on the other hand...
look, in a sport full of elite athletes, he makes people look like schoolboys regularly. It's remarkable. I don't know how long he'll dominate, but I love watching him play

I had a 52 point buffer in my fantasy football match-up with my opponent having just Derrick Henry and Josh Allen to play for the week. They ended up scoring 60 odd fantasy points between them - Henry's 75 yard touchdown was particularly unhelpful to my cause. The guy is a beast.

everyone involved in reaching the decision that Teddy Bridgewater was the answer deserves to be fired.
clean out imminent at the Broncos. They fucking suck. Browns are dominating us with fucking Keenum under centre FFS

Keenum is still in the league? Good for him!

Denver/Browns
Yards 67/201
Time in possession 7.38/16.37Denver haven't converted a 3rd down
