CFL is on live right now, watching a bit of it, it's making me miss the NFL.

Agreed, hanging out for the season to start. Only 7 weeks till the first preseason game... Even if their preseason is rubbish!

T least with the Rams pre season I should see the QB nice and early.

 

  • 2 weeks later...

Had a look at gamepass to see what  the pricing was & seems as though there is only the full package available... I cant remember in previous years if the individual team packages come closer to pre season or not.. Im not to keen on paying $260 to watch Falcons games, I wouldnt get much time to watch any of the other stuff

Edited by JV7

 

I  think i paid $130ish no playoffs a few years ago.

Mate just told me he had tix to see Eagles opener and is flying over for it.

Just read that officially the only Gamepass package avaliable this season is the full package at $260.. Previous years I have just got the Falcons games for around $130. Seems like I'll have to pay the $260 for the full package if I want to watch Falcons games. You do get all games & all playoffs but I wont watch many other games & playoffs are free on fox & 7mate so seems $260 is a rip off!

We released Foles. 

No suprises there really is there... Surely Goff will be the #1 when they release the first depth chart & given first crack at training camp & pre season games ?

 

You would think so.  I know fisher had said Keenum is in the mix but surely Goff can hand the ball to Gurley 50 times a game...

Hanging for the season to start. At the moment I'm soaking in all the attention the vikes are getting on NFL network as a contender. I don't think we are better then Carolina,Seattle,Arizona or Green Bay at their best. New stadium looks great and I think Atlanta are building a new shiny stadium as well.

So Tre Mason is missing...

His mum has now called in the police to try and find him.

Seems the young bloke has some issues... Strange his just dropped off the radar, you'd think someone would have raised the alarm before now. 

Dwight Freeney signed a one year deal with the Falcons, heres hoping he can improve our dreadful pass rush... Although not good to rely on a 36 year old.

Yeah it is strange, but during the off season the clubs are not able to contact the players so easy enough from the club point of view.

Flicked over to ESPN to have a look at the Hall of Fame game and see the games been cancelled due to field condition... Wouldn't see that too often!! 

Read on bleacher report that tee mason was seen doing training drills out the front of his mother's house. He told reporters he won't attend training camp and he has had some run ins with police in the off season.

Alright the season is only a couple of weeks away & I'm getting excited... I'm going to kick off with some season predictions.

AFC  East
Pats
AFC West
Cheifs
AFC North
Bengals
AFC South
Colts

NFC East
Giants
NFC West
Cardinals
NFC North
Packers
NFC South
Panthers 

Wild Card- Raiders, Steelers, Vikings, Seahawks 

Superbowl - Packers

MVP - Aaron Rodgers

Passing Yards- Drew Brees

Receiving Yards- Julio Jones

Rushing Yards- Todd Gurley

 

Gurley I'm typing to start ok.  Then to be hampered by the fact the rams still can't throw the ball. 

Cards look the best in our div. Seashawks second. Our D just doesnt look as good in the secondary. I'm going out O line actually performs this year and we find some recievers to catch the bloody thing. 

Just realised I've left the defending champs out of the playoffs... I'll stick with it, don't think Sanchez will be all that great at QB, having said that Peyton wasn't all that good last year & Denvers defense won them the SB, not sure they can do it again this year. I'm bullish on the Raiders chances in that division, really like them on both sides of the ball & I'm a fan of Carr, hope they make the playoffs...

I'll have a go at the division winners etc on the weekend ... the season kicks off in just over 2 weeks - that came around quickly this time probably because of the footy team still being thereabouts and getting all of our attention.

Does anyone take any notice of the preseason games? I'm well and truly hooked on the real stuff but barely even look at the scores in the preseason games.  The games are ultra important for formations, schemes, running routes and what not but the importance of the winning & losing is probably reserved for the real stuff. 

Anyway, we can do the tipping comp again if we have enough starters (5 or 6 or more) ... thought it best to leave it as it is (tip 3 road winners from 3 picks) but may throw an extra bonus point round in (or 2)  Bonus weeks can be the odd numbered weeks starting with week one ... 2 points max except week 17 which traditionally carries 3 points.

Yeah 100% Melbourne been alive late in the season has taken my attention away from the NFL. 

I enjoy the tipping so if you can find the time again Macca I'm in for sure... I like the 3 road winner system we've got going!! 

On the preseason, I tried to watch the Falcons/Browns game last friday but I just couldn't get into it, with no real meaning it's quiet boring. I think with so many random players who aren't even going to make the 53 man roster it's hard to even watch for young players & see how they go. I'll have a quick look at the highlights but there pointless from a spectacle really. 

Anyone else getting gamepass this year? I ended up forking out the $260!

In preseason I don't pay attention to much until well 3 when first team play about a half. Week four is really thier only meaningful game. 

 

Well here goes ...

NFC North - Vikings

NFC East - Dallas

NFC West - Arizona

NFC South - Panthers

AFC North - Steelers

AFC East - Pats

AFC West - Denver

AFC South - Colts

Wildcards - Seattle,  Packers,  Bengals,  KC

Super Bowl - Panthers

MVP - Cam Newton

Passing yards - Carson Palmer

Receiving yards - Julio Jones

Rushing yards - Adrian Peterson

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
