    Yeah maybe being a bit harsh. I wasn't expecting things to click but safety's and fumbles are avoidable.

    With Cousins out for the season I really (even more so than before) don’t see the point in wanting to win any more games. Unless Hall is somehow going to take this team to a Super Bowl then it really is a great opportunity to get a high draft pick

    We're not getting a high enough draft pick for a QB now anyway I don't think.

    With no QB they could easily lose out, maybe win 1 or 2 more. Won’t be first pick but if they were top 10 then at least gives them some flexibility on moving up. Quinn Ewers is a player who a lot of people really like and seems to be being projected to be going around 6-10 which is well within where the Vikings could be picking

    What a win! And after a shaky start Dobbs was excellent considering we only traded for him a few days ago. Led a brilliant game winning drive.

    31 points is the most scored by the offence this season, and they did it without Cousins or Jefferson and against an above average defence. Credit where it is due it was a very good performance from Dobbs and the offence in general (some pathetic play calling at times but they got the win which is all that matters)

    I didn't realise Dobbs was as mobile as he is. He got out of a number of sticky situations with his legs, including the crucial 4th & 7 on the game winning drive. I do like a good rushing QB. Plus he'll have Jefferson back soon so will have good options passing as well.

    Great first half, stressful second half. Winston is definitely a better quarterback than Carr so I was worried when he came in, but thankfully we held on. Liking this defence, it's fun to watch and makes big plays. Also people say Kwesi can't draft but as well as Addison this year, blackmon seems to be pretty decent so far

    Well, the first impressions I get of this new Las Vegas Grand Prix is that the whole thing is nothing short of farcical. Second practice is now scheduled start at 2am local time because of the delays caused by the manhole cover debacle. I'd be fuming if I was a spectator, particularly with how much the tickets allegedly cost. Mind you, most of them probably just ****ed off to one of the casino's to spend thousands of dollars there.

    Yeah, I'm actually warming to Max as he's gone full Kimi and said it's 99% show, 1% sport, and that it's essentially a load of old bollocks.

    Sainz gets a grid penalty because they're going to have to change the chassis after the track attacked his car. And there'll be no fans for the FP2 because they have to close off the access at 1:30am.

    Going well then.

    TBF, the stewards tried to avoid giving a grid penalty but found they had no choice.

    Actually quite nice to see the bad luck fall to that side of the Ferrari garage for once…
