Bills, Chiefs, 49ers

(Although I don't have huge faith in my 49ers, thought we were reasonably disappointing vs Arizona this week).

Ravens, 49ers, Saints 

I seriously think the Bengals are a big chance tomorrow.

Vikings, 49ers, Chiefs 

9ers, Ravens, Chiefs

A couple of youtube clips and the game listings again

 

 

Chiefs, Niners, Ravens. 

Handy when you pick 3 of the best teams in football. Let's see how they stuff it up.

Ravens,  Saints,  Chiefs

Who’s house...

Boy oh boy do the Falcons know how to blow a lead... Up 39-24 early in the 4th, on side kick recovery and that's all she wrote. What a pathetic organisation. 

Falcons lead for 99.998 percent of the game -- exactly 59 minutes and 56 seconds.

Yeah I couldn’t believe it, I left for work and Falcons are up with minutes to go, check when at work and saw that score, I was as flabbergasted by that as by Ertz not getting 5 yards in the second half and screwing me over.

The Falcons have lost their ever-loving mind. I was relying on game breaks with that one and had already written it down.

Absolute carnage. Especially in our game, just needed Bodies by Drowning Pool playing over the speakers and it would have been perfect. 

That does us for me, Bosa turned our defense from average to excellent and genuine pass rushers often do. Can still win some games against some scrub teams but won't cut it against Seahawks or Rams.

Yeah that's right. Just signed Ziggy Ansah from his couch. Looks like we'll be having the year you guys had last year. 

No pre-season has to have an impact on this.

By the way,  any proof-reading of the results would be much appreciated

 

 

Some excellent match-ups this week ... Rams @ Bills,  Dallas @ Seattle,  Packers @ Saints,  Chiefs @ Ravens & the games involving the Pats & Tampa will be interesting all season with Cam Newton and Brady on show

n.b. Houston should be +5.5 not -5.5 ... an obvious typo

Agree. We're going to struggle to compete in a tough division and with a schedule featuring the Packers, Patriots and Bills.

I haven't posted here regularly for a while so I might have missed this but do you think we can get anything out of Sanu?

It's a move made out of desperation more than anything I think. The big plus is he knows the offense and can walk right in but he's really deteriorated physically, Belichick cutting him 11 months after trading for him says a lot. Hopefully can make a few plays but I wouldn't be relying on him too much at this point.

Sanu should at least demand attention which can open areas on the field.

Might be all they need him for Gorg.

Also it was a small thing but I liked seeing him on the sidelines giving Aiyuk some 1-1 mentoring.

Agree. I think at best he demands attention from the opposition secondary and maybe frees up some space for others on our offence.

It's crazy to say and a bit early obviously but right now you'd have to say we're a decent chance to finish bottom of our division, given the improvement the Cards have shown (I like Murray a lot).

That's what I'm feeling as well TU, 4th in the division with possibly a winning record. The injuries hurt but the division is stacked as well.
