Could do with a lot less niners fans too! 😂

Well, from memory, early contributors to this thread (45HG, WJ & QueenC) are all 49ers fans too haha

Can't seem to shake off the hamstring concerns (Clayton Oliver - like)

And we're up to 400 pages ... who'd have thought?  Dappa would be mighty proud of that milestone

Couldn't wait, here it is..

 

Sure to have @Gorgoroth seeing red! 

@layzie Niners fans are just like Collingwood fans, numbers over quality.

That's great haha

And I especially like that you've kept up the J.E.T.S  typed out tradition (Gonzo will be well pleased)

Speaking of which, I'll be taking a keen interest in how Rodgers is faring this season

So in the NFL, are fans allowed to have a 2nd team to support located in another conference? 

I remember not minding at all when Favre played for the J.E.T.S (texting scandal and all) but when he went to the Vikings, I still wanted him to do well (kinda/sorta) but not for Minnesota! 

Would have been like Gawn switching to a team like Essendon or Collingwood

I've got a mate who supports the Steelers so I've always had a soft spot for Pittsburgh

Edited September 10, 20231 yr by Macca

I don't know about the other conference but I have a soft spot for the Jags and Bengals, would like to see them do well.

Actually NFC wise Panthers are my team, played for a "Panthers" team in junior footy and like the colours, hopefully they've hit gold with their young QB. I also don't mind the Saints, New Orleans is one of the few US cities I actually would like to visit.

Wow!

The J.E.T.S!! 

Agree on most of the rest but how do you see your Bears faring?  And the Niners? 

Falcons winning their division would be a real turnaround

One of the greatest things you will ever see is the footage of AD rushing Geni Smith and you can hear he say “Oh My God!” 😂

The AFC is going to be a bloodbath, there’s maybe 10 really good teams and the 3 stand outs from previous years (Bills, Bengals, Chiefs) might take a step back. I just like the Jets defense and play makers even if Rodgers isn’t great. 

Probably got too clever in my nfc pick. Thought the SeaHawks defense would take a step forward and Geno could back up last year. Might be eagles, cowboys and niners still as the class of a weak conference.

Falcons nearly won the division last year didn’t they? Panthers with a rookie QB. Tampa with Baker. Saints going to the well again with an ageing team and Carr. All Ritter has to do is play point guard for a really good offensive play caller and surrounding talent and the Falcons will be right there if not winning the division.

The bears will be bad. Had a stack of camp injuries which ruined their ability to get continuity which they need with something like 11 new starters and new back ups. Defense should be better if they can stay healthy for a month but it’s a bad d line and they need that time together and some bad weather. O Line hasn’t had any practice time together and Fields just isn’t going to be an nfl qb unless he gets Ohio State like time to pick his throws and he’s still a mile off getting that. They got a reality check today. 

Geez Big Blue really stink

Saw the first half. Our defence was superb. Absolutely monstered the Giants O line. Jones was getting pummelled left and right. Came up with big play after big play. Good start but the opposition must be taken into account. The Giants were very poor.

Packers had their obligatory easy win v the Bears.

I think the fact the NFC South division is fairly weak opens it up for us. Rookie QB is always going to be a worry but the front office has turned the roster over massively & Arthur Smith bought he’s successful offensive game plan from Tennessee so will be interesting how they go!

Yeah watching the Dallas game on the NFL Network right now ... impressive opener.  McCarthy calling the plays again

Packers won well but the Bears were banged up according to DS.  Still, a win at Soldier Field is always to be savoured

The NFC North might be a tight race

Jordan Love had a good game too.  His numbers were Rodgers-like haha

 

Paku Nacua the new WR for the Rams went 10/119 on 15 targets and they were some tough catches and gains. Not bad for a first game in Seattle. Might have found our #2 to Kupp.

Atwell also stood up this game with 6/119 from 8 targets. 
Staffords arm looked good, hope he stays healthy.

Yeah I'd like to see Atlanta back in the playoffs ... a good solid win to start things off

Ha ha! 

And in my mind, falling 2 points behind feels catastrophic

I'll tell you one thing, JV7, I will never take 1 point for granted in this comp ... they are like hen's teeth!
