Just seen that.

But the rest are a joke, and Gronkowski got tackled on his route on that 3rd down in the middle of the field!

Should get Esteban Ochocinco in to punt now, give the lad something to do

So did anyone watch the Bucs?

1st half again, we were shocking! We need to bottle our 2nd halfs and get on the front foot early on. I hope Greg Olsen saw that if he calls some adventurous plays, Freeman can handle it instead of sending Blount up the gut 2 times before a slant pass ala the 1st half.

Loved the Onside kick btw. Perfect time and perfect timing. Shame the drive ended in a poor pass int by Number 5. If you look at the score though it could have been so mucgh better in the 2nd half with that Int in the end zone and the TD that came back for an illegal shift. Thats 11 points there.

Cant wait 'til next week now.

Have I ever told anyone how much I dislike ATL?

Not want to comment on the soft penalty they called on the Chargers for the nothing hit on your TE after he caught the TD? Or the defenceless hit on Vincent Jackson when he just failed to bring the ball in near your goal line? Wasn't in particularly malicious but if the hit on your TE was called then it was a flag.

But TBF I know you only watch one team in these games.

First time I've watched a full Pats game in a while. I'm gunna get ripped for this but is it just me or is the Pats offense pretty boring to watch? I know it works but it's all just dump offs and screens 90% of the time. Bit of a shame considering their QB has the arm to go deep.

If it's not broke don't fix it

Aye, very true. It's just a bit bland to watch. Is a lot like our offense last year except you actually execute

The penalty on Gronkowski was for helmet to helmet, but shouldn't have been called and it made no difference at all to the game, what hit on Jackson? The one where the safety had already started his tackling motion when the ball hit Jackson's hand?

You're the one watching the game for one team. How about Carter roughing the passer for tackling Rivers but they can try snapping Brady's leg in half and no flag?

The Colts were improved a little this week (like they could get any worse)!

Feel sorry for Collins a little in all honesty, he is trying to make plays but doesn't fully understand the offence yet so the timing is a little off. I lost count of the amount of times he hit a reciever who dropped the ball, Collie was terrible for it. Having a terrible offensive line isn't really helping either. Castonzo is still learning so he can be excused, but I'd have moved Diem and Linkenbach on at the end of last season, truly terrible. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd actually put Curtis Painter in there for the next few weeks until Collins has had more time to practise with the squad and get his timing down with the receievers.

I massively worry about what will happen against Pittsburgh in the next game, got a feeling we'll get destroyed even worse than we did against Houston!

I'm watching the game as a neutral and to be entertained. I've found no issues with the officiating team. They have got as many wrong for both teams as far as I can see. I just know how embarrassingly one sided your views are and thought I'd offer some other insight.

Was looking forward to seeing Ochocinco get under some deep balls but he doesn't seem to be up to speed yet, like I say though we haven't really needed to yet because the rest is working quite well.

Bugger, at least I have V.Jackson in my fantasy team I guess
