Cheers I may consider Baker Street actually or even Harrow

Ideally, the weather behaves itself and we can just 'tailgate' as that has been really decent the last few years

Crystals is a great option. Not known by many. £2 a can obviously not great, but literally a 60 second walk up the steps to the turnstiles.

Some surprising results again this weekend. Didn't see New England losing for example. My boys the Rams came from behind to beat Dallas. In dreamland at the moment. I can see us maintaining it too. Up next the ShiteHawks :D

With the way your season is going so far and our run game not exactly hitting the ground running (especially with rookie RB Carson out with a broken ankle) I can't see beyond the Cleveland/LA/SL/LA Rams.

i think it was a broken leg plus ankle sprain for carson.
it looked so bad it could have been worse, i guess he got lucky the leg broke or he wouldn't have a knee anymore.

Giants season now something out of the twilight zone. Have never seen a team lose 4 WR in one game. OBJ and Brandon Marshall officially done for the year, probably same fate for Dwayne Harris, who returns punts and kickoffs. Sterling Sheppard best of the bad news is out 3 weeks. Not helping matters is that defense has suddenly forgotten how to rush the QB or tackle in general. And don't get me started on the coach - third game in a row he passed on even attempting a FG and in each game that would have been the difference between winning and losing. 3-2 is way different than 0-5. Unsurprisingly, the NY media is having a feeding frenzy.

This year seems to be a lot more difficult to call in terms of results. I had a 6-8 record this weekend. I've never had more losses than wins :?

The Giants-Niners game could easily end up being the Suck for Sam Darnold Bowl. It's one of the few games left on the schedule where it seems the Giants have much of a shot. Cardinals are falling apart, and the Raiders aren't the same team without Derek Carr. Any other win would be a major upset at this point.

Your winnable games are against the Bears, Cardinals, Titans and, of course, the Giants.

Surprised Ron and Warp have not made any comments, but what a game last night between the Raiders and Chiefs. Absolutely amazing.

You need to find a replay mate. Last few minutes was superb drama.
Beast mode- what a head case.

Tony Corrente's crew working their end zone magic in the Meadowlands for the second week in a row. :arry:

Regardles, Giants are a steaming pile. Will be an interesting bye week.

A couple more QB's knocked out this week. Palmer probably done at least 8 weeks in Arizona. Cutler with a serious injury tbd for the Fish, who play again on Thursday.

Not injured but Kizer pulled by the Browns. After the game it was revealed he was out clubbing into the wee hours Friday into Saturday, already looking like another success story in Cleveland. Not many opportunities ahead on the schedule for them. Maybe Green Bay who looked pretty anemic with their backup QB?

And speaking of winless teams, the 49ers looked awful. Good thing for them they have the Giants at home coming up. That's at least one win.

Starting to get into NFL after having not paid much attention since it first aired on Channel 4 back in the 80's. I picked the 49ers as a team back then as I'd managed to get hold of a shirt and liked their colours. They had a bit of success then with Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jerry Rice - but appear to be complete bobbins at the moment. Somewhat unsurprisingly then that I managed to get tickets to see them play the Jaguars when I go over to California at Xmas ... also a surprise to me that they play 40 miles away from San Francisco in San Jose!

It was the stop start nature of the games that put me off back in the day - something that you never got watching Channel 4 highlights shows. Maybe that's the reason that I quite enjoy The Red Zone on Sky.
