    Yeah. Two first rounders sounds class until you realise it’s the Packers and it’s gonna be 20+ anyway, so not *THAT* good :laugh:

    Dallas :laugh:

    They can always trade up like they did in 90 and 91. The last time they did this business they got Russel Maryland, Emmit Smith and Darren Woodson, all of whom wear three rings

    Not even had a snap yet and Jalen Carter has been ejected for spitting at Dak Prescott, what a sport man

    Contrast that with Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers. He catches a touchdown pass right after halftime of the Sunday Night game and proceeds to…

    …do the “Queen’s Wave”. How nice. Jolly good.

    That was a mad Q4 last night.

    Also a bit of a shocking end to our game. We score a touch down near the end of Q4 to go 3 up only to miss the 1 pt. Then Falcons get a chance to tie as there is enough time to get into FG range, only to miss the FG. Don't think I have ever seen back to back game winning kicks missed.

    An easy win for the Commanders against the Giants. Offence looked a bit rough, but defensively we were very solid. I called it a few years ago that Russell Wilson was done - when he was traded to the Broncos - and I've seen nothing since to convince me otherwise.

    The new big game night thing on Channel 5 was effing dreadful by the way.

    Will be a much tougher test against the Packers on Thursday night.

    Yeah - they're showing a game from the 6:00 window then one from the late window on 5Action.

    During the early window they have games between fans of the teams playing during breaks. However, last night it seemed to be quite poorly run. They say that the team in possession get advantage on certain games, but every time they came back it was when the Giants had just won possession - however when the Commanders had possession they went to ad breaks. Amazingly, the Commanders fans won, but then didn't know the answer to the question, "How many chicken wings were consumed in the USA during the Super Bowl?" plumping for answer A, 145 million, instead of answer B, 1.5 billion!! They missed out on a trip to Miami - the studio went silent and it was very awkward when they went back to the game :D

    Dermot O'Leary was an ok presenter, Osi Umenyiora is immense as always, but Sam Quek, to quote Joey from Friends, may well be the hottest person I've ever hated.

    Apparently the ratings were pretty awful so not a good start for them .

    This Giants/Cowboys game is mad.

    More flags flying than a Tommy Robinson meeting.

    Just had 4 on one play, two for each team all offset :laugh:

    Panthers Cardinals also flag after flag in that final drive :laugh: Last minute stuff for the Colts, really good game to secure that first 2-0 since 2009?!

    Been some great games today and always good to see the chiefs get beat

    That Cowboys Giants game was superb to watch :laugh:

    Anyway, Go Birds. Offensive scheme looks horribly close to the Brian Johnson 23 offense but hey, we’re 2-0.

    Bucs start 2-0 again to get my hopes up, before an inevitable average season.

    At least two exciting ends to the games so far.

    This Steelers team across the board is going to give me a brain hemorrhage. Defense is a joke, but has somehow clutched up a couple of times on the goalline.

    Aaron becomes the fourth leading TD passer tonight, overtaking fellow GB QB Brett Favre with 509 touchdowns..

    He’s a way to go if he wants to catch TB12..

    He might have done that, but this offense is anaemic. It's an absolute mess, as is this defense. Glad I've managed to blag a free ticket to a tailgate in Dublin next Sunday.

    Incredibly frustrating start from the Broncos. Could easily be 3-0, but have now snatched defeat from the clutches of victory for 2 straight games, losing by 1 point then three after having late 4th quarter leads. Hoping we can win the next 5 and have some momentum in the matchup with the chiefs in November.

    Should’ve given up on the Ravens game when Lamar fumbled on 4th and goal
