Re: New NFL season
Ravens should be strong this year, got absolutely decimated last year with injuries, just need to sort out Lamar's contract.
Rams will be very strong too, Stafford had a really poor opening game, they missed Van Jefferson with injury and OBJ is a huge loss. Von Miller showed his class.

Re: New NFL season
Rumour that Dyche is going to the Detroit Lions, as a defensive Coach !!
But seriously, 35 points at home and still lost ?

Some shocking game ending kicking dragged the two OT games to their dramatic conclusions.
Fabulous entertainment.

Re: New NFL season
Having watched all 4 of this weekends live games early thoughts are:
1) Bills and Josh Allen looked superb, both sides of the ball. Difficult to gauge Rams as Bills were so good.
2) Pats looked poor. Dolphins deserved to win but didn’t impress me.
3) Vikings were very good. Packers will struggle. Rogers looked lost after losing his two main wide outs.
4) Cowboys were shocking. McCarthy will do well to keep the gig. Bucs impressive.
Washington getting off to a winning start is a bonus.

Giants won on week 1 for the first time since 2016, Saquon Barkley looked like Saquon Barkley his rookie season. Still don’t hold out much hope for the season but baby steps with the new regime. Bills looked very good in LA.

As somebody that has no clue of the NFL can somebody explain why the games are always advertised as “away” @ “home”?

It comes originally from baseball, where the home team is listed second on the scoreboard because they bat second. The tradition carried over to other American sports.

That was a bit scary last night. Im not a doctor but surely he shouldn’t have been on the field in the first place.
Feared the worst last night when they showed that shot of his fingers. Somehow, he was discharged and flew home! Glad he seems to be okay.

The 4 day turn around for TNF games is ludicrous for a league that’s apparently focused on ‘player safety’PremierLeagueClass wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 8:49 amThat was a bit scary last night. Im not a doctor but surely he shouldn’t have been on the field in the first place.

They should only be done coming off a bye week (say no TNF weeks 2-5) and now with a 17 game regular season, there should be two bye weeks per team.
Hard watching last night as a Dolphins fan - Tua was clearly not fit to play the game…
Questions about his durability as per but he also should know when to throw the ball away and live another day - he’s too tough for his own good.
Very surprised that he flew back with the team though, usually concussion symptoms/head injuries can take hours to show complications

The Dolphins (with the collusion of the NFL) risked Tua's season, career, health and life over these last two games. The sport needs serious improvement quickly on this.

Too many teams over the past few years have risked their franchise players for little gain and I don't quite understand the thought process of it. Not a chance in hell Tua passed any form of concussion test after his stumble on Sunday and last night just makes it so much worse

Got a spare ticket for Jacksonville v Denver at Wembley on 30th October if anyone is interested.

At last. Nothing good has happened in Washington since this knob bought the franchise.
Get out and don’t come back.
They said a while ago on PFT that if found guilty of taking money from other owners it would be the end of him. Looks like he’s jumping before he is pushed.

Yay. The only decision they got right was calling their team "football team" for a couple of seasons. Pity they changed that for something pathetic.Tricky Trevor wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 5:51 pmAt last. Nothing good has happened in Washington since this knob bought the franchise.

Good to hear that someone else on here is a devotee of PFT.
Pity also that jacksonville couldn't hold on in London Sunday. As a seahawks fan with their first two "told you russ had lost it" draft picks, I'm cheering loudly every time denver lose.
Thanks for not "showing us something daniel Jones" , at the weekend.

Vikings @ Bills.
I’ve been obsessed with this game since it came on C4 in 1984. This has to be up there with the greatest last 5 minutes of them all. You couldn’t have scripted it.

Re: New NFL season
The Vikings and Eagles look the two stand out teams so far. The Rams without Odell Beckham and Von Miller look a different side, desperately need Van Jefferson back to ease the load on Cooper.

Any. Given. Sunday.
Glad the Vikes came away with the dub-it’s a good win their for my Fins who absolutely stomped the Browns to go to 7-3 on the season!
If Terron Armstead, Tua and our two diamond wide outs can keep fit then who knows how far we can go. Fins up

Re: New NFL season
Ravens will win the SB I think, their offence is so dynamic with Lamar, really wear down a defence, puts huge pressure on the opposing offence to keep possession to give the defence a breather.

I’m about a mile away from Lambeau field at the moment. Great OT win for the pack.
Re: New NFL season
Jimmy G is bobbins, their offensive play calling is a joke too. Deebo is one of the best WRs in the NFL yet they can't get him involved and instead fanny around with him in the backfield when they've just brought in Mccaffrey. Pure talent will get them through most teams, not sure a panicky QB when pressured in the pocket is enough to make the SB.redcloud203 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 11:34 pmpersonally think the teams in the AFC - chiefs .

Totally out of the blue, magnificent performance by Washington to take down the previously undefeated Eagles. Far better both sides of the ball.
Re: New NFL season
Well why dump rich bissaccia? He was doing fine with somebody else's squad. Same with houston. They accidentally ended up with a coach that was getting a bunch of journeymen playing well above their expectations, and they bin him.
Josh mcdaniels is a good oc, but seems to generate pisstoffism when elevated to head coach.
Anyway, I'm cheering for the raiders this weekend to help the seahawks get a couple of higher draft picks.

Re: New NFL season
Great to see the NFC-E rising up the rankings again. As a Washington fan this is the one I always have my eye on. With more superbowls, 13, than any other division and every team having at least one, no other division can match that, it was the giant for so long before the recent barren years.
Their combined total is 26-11 but 5 of those defeats were within the division. Could be some good years ahead.

I think the Bengals make the superbowl - if they play the Eagles I have them winning, if they play the 9ers I think they will lose

I never said the 9ers were bobbins either, just put words into my mouth. I said Jimmy G is bobbins, he is, not surprised they're thriving with Purdy.

The Rams won the SB last year, never replaced the retired Whitworth, Stafford and Kupp the best duo last year have missed alot of the season, Van Jefferson missed the first portion of the season, OBJ didn't resign. Even Aaron Donald has been injured since week 15. The entire O line was absolutely decimated.
