NFL Week 9 Review: By Kyle Balfour

Oh, hello there! Certainly been a while, hasn't it? So yeah, this review is definitely long overdue, and by no means that much relevant. Still, it's good to document and I'll be damned if we miss a week in some form or the other! So enough with excuse making on my part, let's dive right into the much anticipated Week 9 review of the NFL! It's criminally outdated, but prediction scores sit at 67-52 for myself and Tomlin at 70-49 heading into this week. Big time spoilers  this week was terrible for both of us predictions wise (an odd number of games made me below 50%...) and Tomlin squeaked out to lead 77-55 to my 73-59. New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey Actual Result: Jets 34-24 Bills Kyle Said: Bills (0-1) Stuart Said: Bills (0-1) They win when I want them to lose, they lose when I want them to win...wait, which team am I talking about here? Both of these teams have been disappointing/frustrating to watch and ...
NFL Week 10 Preview: By Stuart Tomlin Shall we bounce right into a Week 10 Preview? Why the hell not, ay? Also I’ve not forgotten about the Twickenham article, I’ll try and finish it tomorrow if I can. Just haven’t had time with Uni work, travelling, and indeed, these reviews and previews. Anyway, last week was sensational. I saw AJ Styles win the WWE Championship. I saw an incredible match between the Shield and the Bar. I saw Triple H wrestle. I saw Everton come back from 2 goals down to win 3-2. And I actually saw a Colts victory. I think that was the most shocking thing of all. Back to reality, back to Uni, and ba ck to the Preview. I’m writing this in the library as the laptop is still on the Injured Reserve. I’m probably getting it back tomorrow, so I can finish this review – if I’m not finishing Sonic Forces and the adventures of Original the Character. It’s a fun game, despite the mixed reviews. …Wow, I’ve spent very little time talking about the N...
NFL Week 9 Review: By Stuart Tomlin Another week, another def…wait, we actually won this week? Boss. This might be a slightly happier review than usual, then. Another week in the NFL gone and we’re past the midway point in the season. It’s starting to shape up who’s in the mix for the Lombardi this year, and who isn’t. But, we’ve still got a few more weeks where teams can seal their spots in the playoffs, or blow it in absolutely hilarious fashion. I can think of a few teams that will fall into that latter category. Going into the week I had a three point lead over Kyle, with myself sitting at 70-49, and Kyle at 67-52. Let’s see how that gap closes, or widens this week. Probably the former. Preferably the latter. Let’s get on with it, shall we? New York Jets v. Buffalo Bills MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey Stuart Said: Bills (0-1) Kyle Said: Bills (0-1) Actual Result: Jets 34-21 Bills God damn it Bills, I start to hype you up for the playo...
Week 9 Preview: By Stuart Tomlin Is it the 2018 Season yet? How about now? …now? This season continues and on a personal level, it’s an absolute bin fire as Andrew Luck has officially been put on Injured Reserve, joining the likes of Aaron Rodgers, JJ Watt, Odell Beckham Jr, David Johnson as stars out for the season. However, the trade deadline has made things exciting with Jay Ajayi now an Eagle, and the Niners with their QB of the future in Garappolo. We’re at the halfway point in the season, and we’re starting to get something of an idea of who’ll be playing in January. And who won’t be. (Colts, Browns, Niners, Giants can pretty much be confirmed as sitting the postseason out.) I’m sitting three games up on Kyle as we go into this week, so let’s get on with it shall we? New York Jets v. Buffalo Bills MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey The Jets and the Bills meet in the early Thursday game, and I say early because the game kicks off at...
