Some really really good stuff from the Bears, to take it to the very last play and to basically beat ourselves against the NFC champs is excellent. Unfortunately the Cohen secret is out of the bag now, he's immense.

Allen Robinson tears ACL in left knee, so Bortles gives him a comforting slap on the knee

Is that him out long term, a loss, but Jags showed that promise tag again yesterday, lets hope it continues as they have a great roster

Out for the season

Well, Eli Manning won't be getting his 3rd SB ring on that performance

Broncos start very late tonight / early tomorrow. Was hoping to use GamePass to watch the condensed game before going to work but not even sure the game will be finished by then so it will be watching the Sky recording on fast forward for me. Confident our D can do a job on the Chargers - just hope Siemian can build on his promise of last season. If he gets injured, god help us with Brock as backup.

Giants and Cowboys starting soon. Odell Beckham Jr is questionable with left ankle sprain. With Beckham out Manning could be looking to TE Evan Ingram to be playmaker. Key matchup is probably Giants Janoris Jenkins against Cowboys Dez Bryant

Catchy tune!

Bit of a blow but Lee and Hurns are very capable. Would like to see us re-sign Bryan Walters to play slot or pick up Gary Barnidge as a receiving tight end.

Good start for the Broncos although not good for the nerves at the end.

Excellent home win for the Packers over Seattle.

There's a reason why no one has picked Barnidge up, he's a 32 yr old TE with one good season under his belt when he was pretty much the only option in the offence.

I'm not sure Robinson is a huge blow. It's pretty obvious the Jags don't want to put games in Bortles hands anyway, they are going to ride Fournette and their crazily talented defence for all its worth. It may not be pretty but the Jags could easily win that division this year.

I mentioned Barnidge as we don't have anything that resembles a receiving tight end. Marcedes Lewis can block and that's it, Michael Ryvera was brought in to replace Julius Thomas but he's ended up on IR. Other than Lewis and his brick hands we have Ben Koyack and James O'Shaughnessy who are a 2nd year vet and a UDFA rookie respectively.
Regarding the loss of Robinson, it's not a catastrophe but it's far from ok. He's unbelievable at hauling in the 50-50 jump balls and is without doubt our biggest RedZone threat. Hurns and Lee have flashed plenty but they always have a calamitous drop in their locker. I agree that Fournette will be leading the charge, assisted by Chris Ivory, and the opening whooping of the Texans was very encouraging. The Tinhorns loaded the box with 8+ defenders on 58% of Fournettes runs, and he still got 100 yards. Another bonus is that Bortles has much less pressure on his shoulders, and he looked a lot more composed than under Bradley's guidance.

As a Browns fan its quite satisfying to see Cincy struggling. What a turgid game last night....Lewis will definitely be on the hot seat now after a few wobbly seasons, & fan discontent.
Could this be the first time for ?? years we actually have a chance to not finish last in the AFC North?

They've got so much talent on offence but that line is horrible. Pressure on Dalton will be the key.

Bungles doing a good impression of the cockroaches up the road so far
Be lucky to get a .500 season at this rate��

Bucs demolishing the Bears so far

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

What was that about the Jags not missing Robinson too much? He's the only receiver that can recover Bortles' awful passes.

Raiders strike first blood @home to the Jets

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Crabtree with his second TD. This will be a rout.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Jets had other ideas, now 10-14 and Jets have the ball.
