Our defensive not looking good early. ravens just waltzed in a TD on their first drive. 4 plays, 70 yards. too easy

Some of the worst calls on the Rams D in this second drive, I mean that pass interference on Curl is [censored] ridiculous. 

 

Glad I'm.about to leave and not be able to watch the next 3 qtrs. We look like a team that won't win a game as our D leaks 3rd down conversions.

getting embarrassing for the cowboys. Ravens shredding our defence. 

another whopping today and the knives will start to be sharpened for Mccarthy

RAMS WIN!!! RAMS WIN!!! OHMYFUXKENGOD!!!!

THE RAMS FREAKING WIN!!!

Only lead for 2 seconds! Wow

too little too late from the cowboys

our defence is all over the shop

This game has been great in the first half, Falcons looked great until the two injuries on the O-Line.

As Chris Colinsworth said they have to switch to play action and get Cousins out of the pocket.

That's pass interference! How did they now call that??? Falcons have been robbed there.

DemonDave is streaking ahead in the tipping comp after being the sole 3 point winner again, this week! 

But it's a long season and we play for double points in weeks 5, 9, 13, 17 & 18

So it's possible to pick up 8 points in any of those bonus weeks

I vote for removing Demondave from the tipping 😂

Another week of upset wins with 8 road winners saluting!  

Probably the biggest upset was a banged up Rams winning

But the Vikings,  Broncos,  Giants,  Packers,  Panthers all won starting as outsiders

Probably the most impressive win was the Vikings.  Sam Darnald with another standout performance.  What a turnaround!

Minnesota are at Lambeau next Sunday with Jordan Love expected to suit-up for the Packers.  On paper at least, a big clash within the division

Knowing my luck I won't score any more points for the season!

Glad I didn't tip my Niners, my hunch they couldn't get it done without their 3 best offensive weapons proved correct.

2 games tomorrow and they overlap for the most part.  An hour & a half gap works better than 45 minutes

NFL scheduling can be a bit questionable at times

9.30am  Jags @ Bills

10.15am  Commanders @ Bengals

Bills 3 possessions, 3 TD's

Switching to the Bengals/Wash match

God here we go again. I did not tip the Niners for this precise reason..

Sure we had Deebo, Kittle and CMC out but we were also playing the Rams undercard. Full credit to them and congrats Gorg on the win but from an SF point of view this is up there with Kyle's worst losses post 2019.

Juwan Jennings did turn up, gee I love this guy as a football player. We all saw his SB performance and this game showed he has what it takes to be up the pecking order. Purdy also played his heart out and probably his best game so far this season.

As for the rest, way below par. The line was ok but looked better because Purdy scrambled out of danger a lot, without Kittle run blocking is non existent and the Rams stacked the box consistently. Aiuik didn't turn up again, the decision to pay him still questionable. Ronnie Bell needs to be benched so we can give the rookie Cowing a go, anyone else is a better chance to hold a 3rd down wide open catch than Bell.

The defense was pretty poor, even Fred Warner who usually performs when we don't have a good game on defense was awful, the secondary got burnt by a high school QB and special teams was probably the worst of all with Moody missing the 55 yarder and the punt return team absolutely whiffing on that last return. 

Sean McVay is a better coach than Kyle Shanahan, there I've said it. Write it down, take a screenshot, do what you feel. He knew without half decent run blocking that we were going to pound Mason up the middle and they prepared for it accordingly. 

I'm just glad that the NFL seems to be upset city right now...

 

I bet if I start actually picking the team playing against them boys at AT&T they'll start winning. I was very tempted to pick Baltimore last week, I should've learned by now.

I tend to Jinx my picks 🤣

great game bengals v washington. first game in the NFL era without a turnover or punt

Jayden Daniels can play by the looks of it

As mentioned in Guess the Lines teams that are 6+ point favourites are 2-15 against the spread so far and have 9 losses straight up!

I had a decent multi going this week, Philly/Vikings/Colts/Seattle/Bucs of course the Bucs as heavy home favourites cost me a 20-1 return 🤦

I did get 8-1 on Sal's favourite tip though, Chargers-Steelers double (ie Steelers to trail at halftime and win the game). Already got up twice in 3 weeks this year.

Steelers Chiefs Titans
