The NFL Thread

Week 2 must win? Pretty close. Starting 0-2 with both loses being at home and having maybe the other three division teams at 2-0 would be very bad for GB.

I'd still fancy the Packers at least get a wildcard if they lost tonight because of their supposedly easy shedule. I'm going to go with the Giants as must win. Another team that could start 0-2 at home with other in the division 2-0 and, unlike the Packers, they wouldn't have faced two of their toughest games this season.

GB -4.5, O/U 51.

I'll go with Chicago and the over. I have no idea. This game is a tough one.

Reggie Bush = Beast.

Arizona 20-18 New England

The last 30 minutes is Exhibit A of why the NFL dominates American sport.

Signed for a Gamepass free trial, blown away by the picture quality and overall performance.

The NBA should take a long hard look at themselves.

Another long hard season for the Raiders

Just had a rather bizarre trade offer in my NFL league - DeMarco Murray AND Jordy Nelson to me in exchange for Doug Martin. Gladly snapped that up - I think Martin and Murray are probably roughly equal in value so not sure where Nelson as well came from.

2-0 in both my fantasy leagues this year, going well so far.

Pardon my language but...

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BBC HIGHLIGHTS.

Last week they were on at 7, this week moved to 10...its now 10.20 and its not on.

Fucking terrible.

 

[tobi]

MNF is dead to me until they move it to an actual channel.

 

[werty]

Why do they have it on the red button instead of the normal channel?

 

[tobi]

They haven't given a clarification either way.

Last minute deal etc.

Nothing stopping them from putting it on BBC HD at that time of the night when nothing else is on.

I tried to stream a game and it was really bad quality, it took over 15 minutes to get into the link, only for me to find out later that morning that it was on BBC red button!

WTF?

 

[Houdini]

Anyway....... NYG battered Carolina this morning, and i picked up Andre Brown & Martellus Bennet for my FF 2 days ago.
I'm happy about that..

Big result for the Giants last night especially given their injuries and travel schedule on short rest. Disappointed with BBC red button coverage on Monday nights. It was much better last season on ESPN. It could be recorded, they showed a repaet the next day and they had all the studio build up to the game. Strange that ESPN have no NFL coverage this season.

Spent their budget and slots on College football, i think?

Well the Steelers D sucks this year...

Pretty impressed by Torrey Smith's performance last night despite his brother dying the day before.

Good win for the Bears over the Rams, though I still think the overall team balance isn't quite right.
Some stupendous touchdowns yesterday across the NFL in general, and a cracking game between Detroit & Tennessee.

Oh, and I know I've not kept up-to-date with the rules and regulations for a while, but when did OT allow both teams an attempt to score? Last I remember was it was a case of hoping you win the toss and then score off the drive to win the game.....

EDIT: Rules changed this season - leading to a lot of confusion if last night was anything to go by. So, if team A receives from the kick-off in OT and scores a TD on their drive it's game over. However, if they only score a field goal, then team B gets an opportunity to score. Strange!
