NFL and NCAA Season 2016 (newcomers and salty veterans welcome!)

Seahawks have been shocking so far. I hope to god they get a grip soon. Defence has been solid at least.

Remember and get your picks in folks.

Bought a 'shirt' online for £20 a couple of weeks ago. Turned up today, and for the price it's not bad at all. Just wanted one to lounge in on a Sunday for the games. I've got legit black and white reebok steelers shirts but they're just too big. And frankly not worth the 80 odd quid I paid for them.

Like to see the Rams stick with the Coliseum. It's such an awesome looking stadium.

For the military question, it is also applied to baseball, US Open Tennis, and football (Soccer) in America.

Starting to look better for my survivor pick... the Ravens. Wasn't good at 20-0 down within the first quarter.

I was there and couldn't believe the Browns lost the game

Texans at the Patriots tonight. Brock and the Texans on a 2 game win against a 3rd string QB and a shaken defense. That sounds favorable but don't count out the Pats at home nor the weapons still on offense. I need to find out if Gronk is active tonight, TV is mine in 3, 2, 1

 

Anybody watching?

[Davidgri2002]

Gronk is active, Garropolo is not. So just going with one QB.

 

Still wouldn't count them out - but its going to be a tough one.

 

Will be watching of course - considered going this afternoon - but didn't fancy the 3 hours waiting to get out of the parking lot at midnight.

[p1nseeker]

God I hate the Patriots 

[Charliemouse]

Me as well, but as a Titans fan, it was great to see the Texans get a spanking.

[p1nseeker]

If they are winning like that with a 3rd string QB, they're in the superbowl again *sigh*

[Mallet]

I just finished watching the game, no matter what you think of New England personally you do have to admire how they prepare and are set up for each game. They are looking as good a s anyone at the moment I think.

[taurusnipple]

I changed the channel after the Brock interception. If you can't beat the Pats as they are now, you have no chance deeper in the season. Unless they all get injured again  

 

Sunday afternoon is a Steelers game followed by the Cowboys in the evening. They should be good games.

[Mallet]

That Patrick Peterson interception 

[SpagMasterSwift]

Oh snap!!!

[JohnnyNolan]

And breathe! Damn the Packers made a blow out lead look tricky by the end.

[JohnnyNolan]

Last November I went to an Eagles home game and watched them get mauled by the Bucs surrounded by angry Eagles fans.

 

Watching them tonight that's one hell of a transformation. Wentz is one hell of an impressive rookie QB.

[kiroquai]

He is, isn't he? His composure is very impressive.

 

Browns lost in OT, but I'm pretty proud of them. 3rd string rookie QB, both our top WR's out and we took the Dolphins all the way and would have won if Cody Parkey (who was in for our normal kicker, who naturally is now on IR) hadn't screwed up three very makable field goals.

 

Meanwhile, my Fantasy team that is 2-0 and had scored 310 points in the first two weeks totalled up currently has 138 points and my QB doesn't play until Monday night. I've drafted a point-munching monster, it would seem.

[JohnnyNolan]

Steelers getting dominated here. Did not see this one coming at all.

[taurusnipple]

Cowboys look great tonight, Prescott showing off some Brady moves with that TD.

[TehStu]

I'm really not used to not yelling at the TV.

[p1nseeker]

That Biils win knocked me out of the Survivor

[Mallet]

What I find strange about this sport is the dozens of people standing a few feet behind the lines of the playing field, it looks to be a pretty dangerous place to be given how fast players are running when they hit the sidelines. There was an older guy got absolutely flattened in the Dallas game.

[TehStu]

I noticed the people on the Cowboys' sideline too, but my first thought was "what are we paying these disinterested guys in suits to stand around and do?"

 

Seriously, watch out for them. It's like they're in a Monday morning meeting.

[Harrisown]

Well well well, I bet against my own team, The Bills. How silly of me.

It was a pretty ragtag chaotic match to be honest but it wasn't boring.

I do think that it's hard to consider Tyrod Taylor as a career starter for many years to come though. We can scramble a win and ruffle some feathers but the short throw accuracy and middle of the field stuff is something that can't be ignored.

 

Its the patriots next. I'll still take a bet on the Bills though.

 

Did the Patriots/Texans game have radio microphone difficulty in the stadium ? You know it's funny how that ALWAYS HAPPENS....

[taurusnipple]

Eagles and the Vikings. These teams could be great to watch as they develop the season. Never thought much of Sam Bradford but looks what's happening. Hmm. 

[Trigg]

As good as Bradford as been the main thing for the Vikings is that defence and the front 7. So good.

[JohnnyNolan]

Not entirely all that different at the Eagles either. That offensive front line are protecting Wentz fantastically well. The difference between the good and great QB's is how they perform under pressure.

[Trigg]

In contrast the O-Line for Vikings looks like the weakest part of the team. Which means Bradford is doing damn well. Still lot of football to be played.
