Even with a 27 point lead we try and find ways to lose.

Well done jets.
Not an overly talented team. But play hard in the trenches.
Chance to finish close to an 8-8 record. Considerably better than the 0-16 record people were propheting at the start if the season.

Most wins in the league a week ago though. More competitive than some years but generally two of three don't get better as the year goes by. Bills a shocker to show up to a division game like that considering they have looked better

All 3 have played some very good football this year. The gap between their best and worst is incredibly frustrating.
The Pats are an amazingly consistent team. The rest of the division is amazingly inconsistent.
Might not be a coincidence but I find it bizarre.

Just watched the replay. Pretty impressive Jets front seven, shedload of pressure. Bills never looked like getting over them. Bills just didn’t show up, so many poor tackle attempts.
Great to watch game with Romo commenting, some excellent insights and while being natural and at ease.

So if we go by Tom Brady’s interview with ESPN to promote his TB12 book, DeShaun must have injured himself because he ‘didn’t look after himself’. Tom reckons he’s avoided injury because of TB12 and way he looks after himself!
I mean I’m normally an admirer of Brady the player but he sounded like his head is well and truly up his arse in that interview. WTF?!!

Not enough avocado ice cream and too many tomatos in poor DeShaun's diet me-thinks.
Plus he really should have been thinking about making his ACL lengthen and soften so that he could disperse the energy that made his ACL snap

The banana kick becoming popular....
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/02/sports/football/johnny-hekker-rams-punter.html
To sustain that excellence, Hekker relies on a catalog of punts. A sampling: the end-over-end one that swaps distance for control, the dastardly knuckler, the directional spiral and the famed banana, adapted from Australian rules football.
Spinning sideways, the banana fooled Indianapolis returner Quan Bray in its regular-season debut, in Week 1, skidding at the 11 before helicoptering out of bounds at the 7.

The next thing Australia could influence American football......as I posted about before.....is designed Rugby lateral plays.

Let’s hope not, laterals should be banned or only one allowed.

Texans are gone btw. Watson = all sunshine and roses then...Savage & McGloin...sounds like some shonky law firm.
Key injuries on D and the Duane Brown trade is now going to hurt way harder. Hope Watson comes back the same player

He's got a couple of things going for him in terms of recovery at least.
1) He's been through it before and knows what's ahead of him and what is required to get back to a high level (he did his ACL his freshman year of college)
2) This ACL rupture is the other knee, which makes the surgery simpler than having to revise a previous reco

So it’s not warranted in this case? I’ve rarely criticised him so not sure what you’re on about.

Yep
Also looks like they are pinning their hopes on the fact that if he does end up having to serve this suspension, that he won't have to serve it in the play-offs if they make it
How good is Tony Romo as a commentator. Meanwhile the AFL guys like Cameron Ling get jobs.
Love this stuff. Pat McAfee is doing a lot to get the brand of punting out there
