Romo out til mid season with a broken bone in his back.

Terrible news.

Gees his had an injury riddled couple of years... Dak Prescott has looked good in the pre season whether he can take that into the regular season or not...

Yeah, he's been quite impressive by all accounts ... regardless, that division (NFC East) is always a total mystery anyway. 

Any team can win it but Dallas will miss Romo ... I picked them to win the division but I'll stick with the tip because they've probably still got just as good a chance to win it as the other 3 teams.

Be interesting to see how the Eagles go with their new QB (Wentz)

Been moving house so haven't been able to keep up with everything. Romo hurt again is not much of a shock. Is weeden still their back up? I'll post my predictions during the week as of now I think Oakland, Pittsburgh, and the Jets will be good and those packers look fit and firing again. Vikes O line is still a mess so I'm not so confident this year.

Dak played well.from all accounts, but it is still preseason. 

[Gorgoroth 12,968]

I'm owed some hours so I've arranged to have the Monday of week one off.

Happy lad!!

I don't think our season will even get off the ground.

[Macca 16,980]

Not long to go now ... final practice games on Thursday night and then we're into it.

In the meantime I'll post up all the playoff game highlights from last season ... 2 games at a time for the next week and a half.  The links will take you to youtube where you can full-screen the highlights.

Chiefs @ Texans AFC Wildcard

Steelers @ Bengals AFC Wildcard

Given San Fran is probably the worst side in it this year, my main interest is in watching some of the traditionally weaker sides improve and push for playoffs - I'm thinking Jets, Jaguars and Bills.

Bridgewater done with a possible ACL at practice. Anyone got a spare QB I could borrow? 

[Gorgoroth 12,968]

Ouch, thats awful. Don't stress your back up QB will still probably be better than all three of ours.

Not good...I saw Denver contacted Dallas after Romo went down for a possible Mark Sanchez trade, maybe he could be an option

Maybe we go for Sanchez or weeden from Dallas.

Oh yeah.  I remember him...

In his defence we didn't have any wise recievers or an O line...

Now we have an Oline I think....

Don't tell me that Gorgoroth... If they finish higher than us I'll be sick! Reckon they'll finish last in the NFC South 

[Gorgoroth 12,968]

I find it hard to write off the saints. 

No rational reason why. Brees can win you games you shouldn't. 

[Macca 16,980]

I'd forgotten about the Bengals blowing that game against the Steelers ... post #3983 in case you missed it.  Anyway, here's the other 2 wildcard games ...

Packers @ Washington NFC Wildcard Highlights

Seahawks @ Minnesota NFC Wildcard Highlights

Rotten news mate ... I was expecting Teddy to take it to another level this season too.

Yeah I know it was only pre season but all of his plays were downfield throws of 20+ yards. The plan was to throw deep and run with AP opening up big plays with the play action passing game. This year will remind of the Christian Ponder era where we pass the ball not for yards but just to give AP a rest.

Aaaaaaaaaand Goff is number three on the starting QB.

Sigggggghhhhhhhhhhh

From memory these arrangements often start out this way but any change could happen quite quickly if the outcomes don't come up to expectations. 

Win early and Goff has to wait ... but if you lose games early then Goff may well get fast-tracked.

You think ? Mannion took majority of snaps today. Game 4 of pre season is a joke, it's literally a game 90% filled with players who will wind up on the practise squad... Jags held out 28 players from the Falcons game!

After completing 3 of 4 passes for 53 yards on the opening drive, he was a disturbing 3 of 12 for 14 yards with two turnovers on the final seven first-half possessions.

The Rams' quarterback of the future finished his first preseason 22 of 49 (44.9 percent) for 232 yards (4.73 yards per attempt), two touchdowns, two interceptions, three fumbles and a 55.8 passer rating.

Perhaps most telling, Goff has shown little awareness -- struggling with snaps, taking too many hits and failing to process at NFL speeds.

 

Only hope Fisher gets the sack week 2...
