Yeah I’d love to take the day off, but I’ve gone to casual work so I need to take what I can when I can and Monday’s are usually my busiest day. I have a massive packers fan at work so it’s great to talk nfl with him, but I’ll do the normal avoid everywhere til I get a chance to watch the games.

Yeah ore season, watch for rookies and move on.

Yeah no chance for me either usually always early starts on Mondays. I think this Tunein Premium is my best bet. Or just watching at night like usual.

I can’t even listen and as long as the radio stations don’t suddenly give scores I should be right. I finish at 1pm so home and watching usually by 2pm

That’s very handy. Plenty of time to catch up. I’m usually doing that at 7

I start at 5 so early start early finish. Means I can watch a lot before the wife gets home. I try not to watch NFL the whole time she is home... I fail often...

I should also mention watching at 2 means minimal time for someone to spoil the result. These little things matter

Kelly has looked good all pre season.

I had Cowboys down as a serious scary team this year. I'm not really interested in pre-season, but looking at their list, they're gonna need to find a few guys to do damage this year. Defence might get a bit better with Lee, Taco and Gregory coming in... But offence, gee whiz. Frederick looks like missing most of the season, their WRs aren't big names at all... if Dak or Zeke were to miss time, they'd be in trouble.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Hoooooly crap...

Hundley. Rodgers record setting contract... Little bit of Kendricks insider trading...

What say you @Macca? Save us the trouble of searching the internet for details.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

134mil for Rodgers!

Jets bus gets stopped, guy jumps on, Hey Teddy Bridgewater, time to get off the bus, you have been traded to the saints... so off he gets. Wtf the NFL are strange in their workings.

[Macca 17,113]

No surprise with Rodgers new contract and they're obviously happy with Kizer as the main back-up QB ... 2 good moves all round. 

I'm neither here nor there with Hundley - didn't show a great deal but he can get better (at Seattle)

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Love the Bridgewater move to Saints. Brees done in a couple of years.

 

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Aaron Donald set to sign 6yr $135mil deal, $87 guaranteed.

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Aaaaaaaand signed!!! Woot!!!

At long last.

Speaking of big time defensive players... any interest in Mack, @Macca?

If there's anything left in the coffers!  Yes.  He's certainly the type of player that we absolutely need.

I'm not as across the Pack as I am NFC East teams, but that was my guess too. The two first rounders are there for a trade too.

I think MAck should come to theRams for a year...

And play where. lol There's only so much room for humans that size on one side of the field.

Seems they are putting a few eggs into the Terence Williams basket. Also get a feeling they desperately want Tavon Austin to be their surprise packet Swiss Army knife.

I don’t care much for preseason either apart from getting necessary reps. It’s funny because a girl I work with is a Texans fan and she was telling me yesterday how annoyed she was when they missed an extra point to tie and go to overtime last week. I’d rather the 1 point loss anyway in preseason.

Aaron Donald was the highest paid defender in the NFL for 30 hours...

Very happy with that Mack trade. Getting back a 2nd round pick makes it not much more than giving up a 1st round pick. Done. 

Bears D just went from solid but unspectacular to very exciting and capable of really shutting down other teams. Week 1 in GB might be too early for that but should be able to cause some trouble as the season goes on. 

The NFC is loaded.

I’m happy we are not playing him week one vs the raiders tbh.

Sure is.

6 years for Mack. Gee that's a big, big trade. Makes me a little nervous that Big Cox will have to go one day from the Eagles. These big-time D lineman (along with big time OL units) define success across the league. Look at the Eagles. Not much in receiver. Not great corners. Just have all the good stuff in the trenches making mediocre  backup QBs Superbowl MVPs.

[layzie 34,339]

Huge deal for Mack he’s done well. How did the Raiders stuff this up? Was a franchise player and edge rushers make the difference.
