The Chargers went 0-4 under Bobby Ross in the early 90s and did it. The 2019 Redskins will not go winless. They still have to play the Dolphins this month. If you work for CBS and get allocated to call this game, then you know you don't have job security. If it was a Fox game, then it would be Dick Stockton calling it.

What price Redskins going winless. Really can't see where the next win is coming from and both offense and defense look so ropey

I am about to begin five days of chaos Tashy. It starts with filming two groups of fans arriving at Gatwick very early tomorrow morning, then Hampton Court Palace. Friday, extinction activists permitting, big group filming in Parliament Square, then the London Eye and the tour buses. Evening parties Friday and Saturday, more filming during the day. I'm then calling the game in the stadium on the Sunday and working for a Tampa TV station and NFL Network pre-game. Spending Monday showing some friends round other London attractions and then seeing them off Tuesday morning. It's going to be manic but a lot of fun.

I'm really looking forward to doing a slot with Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci and Michael Irvin on their pre-game show. That will be a real honour.

It's all unravelling in Jerry's house. Dreadful first half at the 0-4 Jets, missing catches and leaking offensive yards against a creaky team. Nearly recovered in Q4 but not enough...worthy of a hearty clap though, JG? 😂

Fun or five days of mayhem? Actually incredibly exciting, rewarding and memorable. Taking Warren Sapp round the Tower of London, being called out by Bryan Glazer (owner of the Bucs and Man Utd) in Regent Street where he was shopping with his wife, being given a 35-year service presentation by the Buccaneers on the field and then calling the game making one comment that went viral over the NFL Network yesterday for its somewhat sarcastic undertones. Looks like I may get the London game internal commentary gig for every game going forwards. Happy days! Shame about the result but I was so focused on my commentary, I am only going to sit down and watch it properly tonight.

Good to see the Jags getting a result today and Garner Minshew II, I think looks pretty good considering he was a 6th round draft pick.

Happy with the Seahawks pulling out the win over a fairly average Falcons team.

How well are the 49ers going though. After a 4-12 season to jump out to 7-0 this time out. Their D is kicking butt.

I was covering the Bucs v Cardinals game last night. Two bad teams that saw Tampa Bay play less badly than Arizona.

But in nearly 40 years of covering the NFL, I have never seen a QB with such bad mechanics as Kyler Murray. He's the size of a smurf and has a ton of passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. And the Cards took him No.1 overall because their new coach used to coach him. Maybe he will have an OK career but I just cannot see it happening.

Didn't watch any games last night as Raiders played Thursday.Cant see them making playoffs but building nicely for their move to LV. Might have to have a holiday out there.
Good to see Zay Jones playing for them, watched him @ECU when I was working out there.

Seahawks beating the 49ers was a great result. So many reads on Garoppolo and should have cleaned up the game in regulation. Clutch win in OT will do for me though.

There are stories out there that Colin Kaepernick is holding an open tryout this weekend to prove he is still good enough to play in the NFL.

1. No he wasn't three years ago.
2. He comes with more baggage than an Emirates 787.
3. He hasn't played in three years.

His only chance is with Vince McMahon's XFL next season as a novelty item for publicity purposes. Still a colleague of mine in the media is going to go just to be part of the circus if it takes place.

I saw this on PFT last night. They were debating why this has come about because it makes no sense!? Seems there could be a legal reason for this so they don’t get sued again. An open tryout in Atlanta on a Saturday? Who is actually going to turn up and watch (the media will be there in force) because the owners and coaches will be getting ready for their games?
