Horrific second half from the Jets. The game changer for me was the overturned fumble call (rightly I will add) that lead to the TD just before half time. If we'd have gone in at HT in the lead, as we deserved, then we may have gone on to win it.

Still not sure about Sanchez either. He's obviously got something about him as 4 play-off wins on the road would suggest. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut he just doesn't inspire confidence at all. Just make the simple plays please. If it means taking a leaf out of Brady's book and just making 8, 10, 13 yard passes then so be it. We've got the weapons out there, we just aren't using them efficiently enough.

Yup the no name defense stepped up big time after a slow start and the offense turned up for the first time since the last drive of the Cowboys game too....eventually

We have the easiest run of games in the NFL to finish the season, our opponents have a combined record of 21-44 or something like that so in theory we should be ok for a play-off spot/division title but we can't afford any slip-ups. We need to get some momentum going into the play-offs and hopefully the D will continue to improve.

Oh and Tom Brady and Bill Belichick became the winningest (I love that word) coach/QB combo in NFL history with the win last night

As for Sanchez I think the comms got it spot on when they said he looked like a deer in the headlights once he realised we actually had a pass rush and was always watching that instead, I don't blame him TBF I was shocked aswell

What were Atlanta thinking! 4th and inches inside their own 30 in OT and they go for it. Saints just have to kick the FG now to win the game.

Brave call from Mike Smith, and hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The way both teams had been moving the ball though he didn't trust the D to keep them out of field goal range. C'est la vie - could have been worse, we could have got blown out by 30 at home against Houston...

At least St Louis won, putting everyone else on at least two wins....we can sneak a win (hopefully, getting one of those is proving rather difficult at the moment) and keep the #1 overall pick.

I'm rather worryingly starting to enjoy this season....

Monday Night Football - Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers.

How many TD passes for A-God tonight?

I think the defense will be alot meaner than the Vikes game a few weeks back, where we didn't really know what to expect from Ponder. I predict a lot more interceptions/sacks tonight.

GB by 20 at least.

Schaub out indefinitely for the Texans.

I think we have a new frontrunner for the forum's 'hype your own team up beyond belief' award!

Granted Green Bay are a quality team, but there'll be people chuckling away to themselves if (or when) something goes wrong somewhere down the line where it matters, like in the playoffs

Green Bay will lose a game this season
