Alright yank sports fans...

Is there going to be a season this year?

Tentative word is, yes...

Yeah they'll get there eventually....

By all accounts (via ESPN) they aren't too far away discussion wise, but no definitive move has been made and the lockout is obviously still in effect.

Most of those "insiders" that trot out their opinions don't think that the season will be held up and that a deal of some kind will be in place before the first scheduled practice games.

That being said it looks a little chaotic from the outside with splintered playing groups in randomly organised workouts.

Strange really, especially for the rookies some of whom are the ones organising (and paying for) their more senior counterparts to actually do some team training.

It did? That'd be a first. So the season is 16... that's 6 games between you and your division rivals... then you'll play all the teams from 2 different divisions... and those two divisions are selected from both conferences. After that, there's two more games selected, though I don't know how they're selected. So for example, for the Eagles who are in...6 vs NFC East teams. These are the big ones.

4 X NFC North teams. That's a Division in the Eagles' own conference.

4 X AFC South teams. That's a division OUTSIDE the NFC's conference. These are SLIGHTLY less important, as you're unlikely to need a tie breaker where your record against these teams matters.

2 X games against one team from the remaining two divisions. So the only two divisions in the Eagles' conference they haven't played are NFC South (Falcons) and West (49ers).

^^ this is 100% correct. the two games 'in which he didnt know how are selected' are selected like the following:

The eagles already play NFC NORTH as an intra-conference division. in 09/10, i believe the eagles came 2rd in their division, this means they play rival teams from the SAME conference which also came 2rd in their division, the following season. ie falcons (2nd in NFC S) & 49'ers (2nd in NFC W)

i hope this helps.

That's awesome. Hence this year where we play Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks as all won their divisions, as did the Iggles...

So we play both our division rivals twice (6 games), then everyone from the NFC West once (4 games), everyone from AFC East once (4 games) and then, as you say, the winners of the two remaining divisions of our own conference (NFC division champions Bears and Falcons = 2 games)...

I like it. Makes my head hurt, but I like it. Kind of like a complicated seeding program there, where the best play the best every year.

The more I see it, the more it makes our own scheduling look amateur.

 

Just found this thread!

I really hope they work out a deal and get some kind of free agency period in place before the start of a season. Been watching ESPN sports center most nights when I know theres been movement but all it really amounts to is owners making deliberately obfuscated statements, players reps trying to remain upbeat, and images of athletes getting out of their luxury cars to work out solo. Not exactly compulsive viewing.

Like Queenc, I'm a mad 49ers fan. Have been since the glory years in the mid 80s when Don Lane used to host. Its been a lean patch for us since Steve Young retired. In fact you can make parallels between SF and MFC, a long period of dominance, followed by an even longer period of mediocrity, with a new era being led by a #1 pick (Smith=Watts) whose performance did not meet expectations early in his career.

Excited by Jim Harbaugh as coach, anyone will be better than Singletary, and lets hope the enigmatic Alex Smith (who already has the new coaches playbook to study) can finally click. Another A-grade wide receiver would be nice.

Favorite athelete to watch, despite his personal history is Michael Vick easily. Loved watching him in Atlanta, was sceptical about his return but watched his first couple of games this year and was back on board...


Love the purple pride of Minnesota!

Mick the [censored] is the reason I follow the NFL now. Watching him from a Hooters in Miami monster the redskins, and then create the miracle at the new meadowlands... One of the most amazing things I've seen in sports. Maybe not quite the best footballer in the NFL, but I reckon the best overall athlete.

Anyone catching up with the pre-season games?

Especially given the real thing starts in a couple of weeks (on 08/09)........

NFL Schedule

Yeah, we beat the Saints (Foster 2x TDs in the first quarter.........) but I think we will get better idea of who is who in the zoo after week 1.

Tebow has been assigned as backup for the Broncos.....this sucks.


Oh, BTW if anyone wants an invite to our NFL Roto fantasy comp let me know.

Please tell me. Huge NFL fantasy player!

Demon Land 7, I PM'd you. See you in Fantasy Land! Should be fun.

I'm a Seahawks fan, after THAT FREAKING TOUCHDOWN

Hoping for 9-7, think the Rams will be too good though. 49ers could do anything as well...

Also, I'm up for a fantasy comp if anyone is running - including a draft?

Iggles did ok... but meh... you don't learn too much. Vick barely played... Jackson wasn't sighted, and Maclin wasn't around. We didn't even start our main running back.

Tebow has been assigned as backup for the Broncos.....this sucks.

Why?

Oh, BTW if anyone wants an invite to our NFL Roto fantasy comp let me know.

OOOOOH!!!! Can I come?

Please tell me. Huge NFL fantasy player!

You stay the hell away from me DL7...

I cant get into the link... Am I too late?

"UPDATE" Got the commish to drop the league to 1x QB per team. Dappa, if you can get someone else before Thursday we can run a 10 team comp. Anyone else keen??

Draft is 11 at night Thursday night. Draft goes for about 30-45 mins depending on how long people take to pick.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
