The Official NFL 2017 Thread

Going Sunday and cannot wait, although I have been a Cowboys fan since I started to watch I have an affinity to the Jags now so trying to go each year. Will be interested to see how it works at WHL next season and following that we could have them as our team - certain season ticket for me if we do

Yeah, I’m super excited but got a bad feeling we’re gonna get torched. Hopefully heading into town to try and meet Dante Fowler Jr tomorrow, probably buy some more merch too

Many of my friends who are long term NFL fans think you may make a game of it tomorrow - not saying a win (although some are) but at least a decent showing

I’m always hopeful, but our offence is poor and the Ravens’ defence is solid. Here’s to hoping.
Met Tony Boselli and Dante Fowler Jr today which was nice.

So, so close to the win in Foxboro for the Texans. Almost an interception in the last minute, but Brady showing that he's the GOAT with that drive.

Still, lots of confidence to take away from this, not least the composure of Watson who matched Brady all the way.

Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves in London for Jags v Ravens.

DFP, you must be pretty happy!

Some wild finishes today - Patriots with a last second win, Detroit inches short of victory, rookie 60yd+ field goal for Eagles. Most relieved man today must be the Bears player who ran back the blocked FG only to showboat and have it stripped in the last yard.

Damn Redskins, grrrr

Well that was worth waking up at 2am for! Stunning performance from the Redskins defence who were two fumbles away from shutting down the Raiders. To say that was unexpected is an understatement, it has been a long time since the Skins have taken apart a genuinely good side. It's even longer since they haven't stunk on Prime time TV too. Take a bow Greg Manusky and all your team, a hell of a job! HTTR!

I can't even explain where it went wrong for the Steelers, literally everything from the kick off.

Big Ben just isn't cutting it anymore.

What a strange weekend of NFL. Good to see the bears still have a bit of fight in them!

 

[Stat Brother]

Another Rodgers masterclass.

I haven't watched it yet but Ben being rubbish on the road and Steelers dropping games against inferior opposition aren't new. Hopefully that's our one for the year. Bell's start to the season is starting to give me concerns now though.

At least the Ravens got demolished and the other two are as good as out of playoff contention already.....

What a weekend I’ve had! Met two players, watched an absolute mauling and the Jags tweeted a photo of me meeting Dante Fowler and getting my cap signed. I also let out a massive ‘fuc*ing yes’ when Hemed scored

All in all good Sunday for you!

Steelers let me down from a triple. Brighton won, Exeter Chiefs smashed Wasps to go top but Steelers got run over by the Bears.

I was sucked into the hype that the Ravens D was Championship material. Bortles threw for 266 yards, 4 TD’s and 0 interceptions. Lol.

Cowboys beat the Cardinals 28 - 17. Cowboys struggled to begin with but kudos to coach Jason Garett for turning things round and for me Dak Prescott was MOM for the Cowboys. Good game to watch as a neutral.

Looks like the controversy surrounding the national anthem isn't going to go away, all the Cowboys players as well as owner Jerry Jones go down on one knee before the national anthem played. This is going to play out for many more weeks

The funny part of that was Jerry was never getting back on without help so the players either side just lifted him without waiting to be asked. It was like parents lifting a small child just before swinging the child and going 'wheeeeeeeee'.

I've watched it now. He was infuriatingly inconsistent and there were some terrible throws. Having said that, had Bryant hauled in that bomb on the first play his stat line would have looked a lot better.

On Bryant - he is going to murder a team soon. All three games so far he's been burning cornerbacks all day, I just don't think him and Ben on are quite on the same page yet. He also looks super fit, if you look at his upper body its obvious he's spent the majority of his year off in the gym. Give it a few weeks and he's going to be the ultimate matchup nightmare. Too big to bump and run, too fast to play shallow man coverage and too talented to let him wreak havoc inside.

Really bad day at the office but keep the faith, I reckon.

There are no neutrals watching Cowboys games! Even I have to concede that Dak had a hell of a second half though.

Well that was an eventual evening for this Packers fan.

I went to bed at 8 last night, alarm set for 12:50.
Alarm not set properly, wide awake at 2.

Now what do I do?

I decided to have a cuppa as see what the score was, 14 -.0 approaching the end of the 1st quarter.

'Ok I'm here and awake and it's pay day, what the hell' Now TV here I come.
Log on, paid, just as the players troop off for an hour due to lightening.

Finally watched a disjointed flag and injury riddled game until a bit after 4am before trundling off to bed.

Take away from the game:-

The Care Bears are shitehouse.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Now why the hell couldn't that Bears team show up last week vs Steelers
