    We are so bad.

    My team especially is on a super level of bad. I knew it was going to be a down season and I'm still left disappointed. When Eric Ebron is your most reliable offensive weapon, it's just... offensive.

    Trubisky throws a Hail Mary to win the game. It completes!

    OK. That was some dark voodoo sh*t in that Ravens game.

    Feels good to finally get a blowout win.

    Mack has shined today. I'm starting to be convinced by him. Still want to see a couple more quality games from him before being a full on believer.

    Was really nice to see the oline still holding up. Can't believe we're actually protecting Luck.

    Also, fun to see Wilson and Moore making some plays today.
    Wish this game was nationally televised. Brees' 500th passing TD, Lamar's first td, nice comeback by the Saints before Flacco throws a clutch td to Brown with under 30 seconds left etc, but Tucker misses an extra point for the first time in his NFL career? Unbelievable. Kick in question:



    Drew Brees now joins Farve and Manning as the only QB to have beaten all 32 NFL teams at least once.

    Another good attendance for the London Game 84,300 :). LA should play here more often :p.
    So there is definitely a market for the London game not sure about a full time team but definitely more then 3 games we are getting this year.

    Can we talk about that hilarious moment from last night's game? Cincinnati actually thought they stood a chance.
    It's such a controversial topic but I would honestly not be opposed if we got a London franchise. The only reason I'm against it is that it would mess up the perfect 32 team number we got right now. You can bet your ass the NFL will expand as soon as they solve the logistical problems an overseas team would face.

    St. Louis, San Diego, Portland, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, Orlando are all ripe for expansion teams. That's 6. Add London and Mexico City. That's 8. I can see the league growing to 40 but not above that. The main problem is how thin the talent gets spread with more teams. Can you honestly find 40 quarterbacks (and O lines to match) who can reliably play as starters? Just look at the Bills. Browns or the Cards this season. They had to throw their rookie QBs to the wolves and the results have been predictably mixed. I'm not even going to touch what they're doing to Mariota or Carr.

    I love it!

    When Jags owner Shad Khan was still trying to buy Wembley, there was talk that he was exploring options and tax implications of the team being based in Jacksonville but splitting its 8 home games equally between London and Jacksonville. I still see that as the most likely scenario, and probably the best "bridge" for the NFL going International.

    If expansion does happen, I would love to see a London team. But I don't see it being any more than one or 2 teams. At least not for the next 10-15 years. I wish it was more, I think it would do great things for the league in the long run, but yeah, there is that QB problem. Even with the current 32 teams, there's probably only ~24 that are happy with their current starter. And if that starter goes down, the number of teams comfortable with their back-up as a starter probably plummets to ~6.

    Then look at teams like Tampa Bay, who have 2 capable starters, while Jacksonville would likely kill for that problem.
    (I wonder what Fitzpatrick could do in a Jags uniform...?)

    What the NFL really needs is to establish a worthy developmental league. NHL and MLB have it. I don't think the NBA does, but I'm not a big basketball fan. Once that happens, the rally cry for expansion will be impossible to ignore.

    It's certainly been a week for meme-y faces.
    The London Redcoats (◼◼◼) of the AFC East? The Mexico City Aztecs (◼◼◼) of the NFC South? I can already imagine a very fun rivalry between New England and their hypothetical overseas cousin.

    On another note:



    This effectively gives Jon Gruden three first round picks for next year's draft.

    Watch Gruden trade Carr to the Jags for yet another 1st round pick.
    Guy's playing Madden franchise in real life.

    How the everloving heck did Jerry Jones think Amari Cooper was worth a 1st round pick when Josh Gordon got traded for a 5th rounder?

    "Hey Jerry, we could get Josh Gordon for a 5th round pick. What do you think?"

    "What team does he play for?"

    "The Cleveland Browns."

    "No way, they're terrible. So he must be terrible too."

    "But he's a really good receiver. I think it would be a great move for us."

    "My mind's made up. Now clean my glasses."

    *time passes*

    "Hey Jerry, we still need another receiver. Sounds like Amari Cooper could be available. What do you think?"

    "What team does he play for?"

    "The Oakland Raiders."

    "The Raiders, nice. How's Al Davis doing?"

    "Sir, he passed away."

    "That's disappointing. Send them some flowers and let's make that trade — let's offer a 1st for him."

    Well apparently the Jags were so racked with injuries they have taken any action yet as they were all defensive players.

    Also attendance for the Final Wembley game was a impressive 85,750.

    We're closer to those London Redcoats becoming a reality with every passing season.

    On another note, I'm so glad I didn't pick the Ravens this week. Don't be hyped on us, folks. We just won't be consistent until we draft a more reliable running back and until we see what Jackson's made of.
