Interesting posts on here today.

I personally really enjoyed the Jets-Ravens game. Was smash mouth defensive football. As I said the Jets offense struggled and will do until Sanchez finds a groove and I'm still to be convinced he actually has a groove. Cromartie is going to struggle this season as he is constantly going to get targeted.

It was pretty impressive from the Ravens though. The O didn't really fire but they should have had more points and were missing the great Ed Reed from their defense. They won't be far away at seasons end.

In fantasy land I'm 1-0 in all my leagues Though San Diego lost me £10 of my Sunday night profit I still made a nice sum on the weekend in total.

I got battered in both the fantasy leagues, this could be a long season and I may just change both my team names to "Detroit Lions" to make me feel better!

2 of the best D's in the NFL so it wasn't too surprising it was a low scoring game.

So the Pats would have put 40 on both of them?? And the Jets are the arrogant ones?? Pats win one game against a shoddy Bungals side and are suddenly the greatest team of all time again

Jets have the arrogant coach, Pats have the arrogant fans. The English fans are the reason I have no time for the New England and wish them nothing but abject failure!

Cromartie was a really poor pick up by the Jets. He's still living on that one big season. He is soft as sh*t and a dreadful tackler. Playing opposite Revis he is going to have a long season.

Really bad news about Grant for us. He has done something to his ankle, which requires surgery (and pins) and also fractured his fibula near the knee. He is a good player and we'll miss him. Given the system we run you'd think we could cope fairly well without a RB, given we are primarily a passing team, but Grant is very key to our team. Without him we look pedestrian with no running game. He is 4th in rushing yards since 2007 behind Peterson, Jones and SJax.

As for his replacements, i wouldn't really make a move for B-Jax, he has looked far from good, except in pass protection, in all his years here. We looked average when he was in during the 2nd half of the Eagles game and he isn't explosive.

Other options include:
James Starks- talented RB we drafted in the 7th, but is/was injured. He is on the PUP, i think he may have been on it since camp which means he can be activated at any time. Otherwise obviously it is week 6 before we get Starks.

Rumours right now on various forums are linking us with trades for either Tashard Choice or Marshawn Lynch.

We are supposedly as we speak picking up a guy from Atlanta's practise squad called Dimitri Nance but we have a shortage of RB's so I really wouldn't be suprised to see us making a move for somebody else.

Damages our SB chances unless we get somebody decent in and i've very sceptical as to whether that guy can be B-Jax.

You've already trade Maroney to Denver apparently.
