Collins had a nice game for Baltimore, reminded me of Lynch a bit last night, the amount of yards after contact he got!

I've just noticed StubHub is really good value for NFL tickets. Vikings browns is currently £30 on there. I was watching for Rams Cards last week and on Saturday they go down to £15. Keep an eye out if any of you are interested in taking in a game.

Out of interest where do you stand on the Redskins' name issue?

Haven't delved into it too much. I would assume that native Indians have been approached to see if they find it offensive or not.

I remember there being a bit of a fuss about 3 years ago, but it all seems to have gone a bit quiet since.

If it offends too many people then would be all for changing it.

Just had a quick browse and I see a study was carried out in 2004 in which it was revealed that the majority of native Indians approved of the name. However it is suggested the study was flawed.

Seems that a lot of bodies oppose it. If so, I would change it. There are the Altanta Braves, so something along those lines might be the way to go.

I am quite flexible. Same with the City. I wouldn't be too disheartened with a name change to say the likes of Coventry Godiva. The Coventry bit is the important bit.

I think many do find it offensive but it went to court and they ruled it was protected by the first amendment.

Something that has been suggested to me that I wouldn't mind is changing it to whatever actual Indian tribe was based in the region pre-Columbus, then you could keep the logo and general branding pretty similar. I would hate to lose the logo, I think it looks great and, to me, seems really American.

Okay, so Skins up 13-7 at the moment, but still worried about the amount of yards per carry for Elliot. Got to be around 4.5 to 5.

Cowboys seem to be able to cut through the defense whenever they want. Need to be getting TDs not settling for FGs.

And that was a disastrous turn of events. Should have been 16-7 up, but a blocked field goal and and we are behind 14-13.

Ten point swing. Awful.

It should have been 20-7 but we have a QB that can't do it when it matters. Yes the play from the kick was awful but we shouldn't have had to punt from there any way.

I can smell another defeat in the air. Already a bit beat up, we now have Kerrigan and Reed struggling, two of our top players.

Still stuttering in the redzone, still not got a good running game and still giving up too many yards on the defence.

All points to a half baked season and no play off.

The owner also may start to look at coach Gruden. Still has a losing record as coach.

I think eventually we're going to regret letting McVey go to the Rams

Poor play by Cousins for that turnover. Get rid of it quick or take the knee.They showed all out blitz all day long there.

With the yardage Elliot is getting I would be going for 4th and short every time if I was Dallas.

Somehow I don't think Dallas need a helping hand. Back to back turnovers. Awful. :(

Game over if they get a touchdown here.

Lucky to avoid 7 points there. Simply cannot have a three and out here. Need points on the board. All the momentum is with the Cowboys.

Why run on 2nd and 9. why throw long at 3rd and 7. Its like the plays are being called by somebody who's never seen a game before.

Yep. We are calling such run plays when we have no running game.

And there goes Elliot again.

And there you go. Elliot getting 5 yards per carry.

They are going to score here. They are cutting us into ribbons.

If we don’t get a touchdown on this drive then we’re definitely done. If we go 3 and out or turn the football over then I’m turning off.

Only hopes now for the Redskins is a special teams play or a turnover that results in points for us.

We look a broken unit.

Same here.

Very much looking like a 3 and out is on the cards.

When you have no running game the opposition can blitz you all night long.

I would get rid of Kelley, possible Cousins too. We have some good weapons on the offence with Reed and Thompson, but absolutely no running game.
