The NFL Thread

Season is underway!!

 

can't wait to see RG3 in action again and let's see if all the hype around chip kelly is justified

 

well this season hasnt been the best of starts for the Redskins has it?!
our defense is about as effective as Muhammed Hafeez's batting outside of Asia
and RGIII is clearly rusty

 

does the fact that no team starting 0-2 has EVER made the playoffs worry you? I think if they lose their next few games they should consider resting RG3

 

no not really - they were 3-6 last year and won the division
i think it would be pointless to bench RGIII now, he needs game time to get back into form, sitting on the bench wont help him(unless its proved he isnt 100% fit)

what worries me is that awful D - have never been a fan of Jim Haslett's defense with the Redskins, would prefer he left and they went back to a 4-3 Defense

 

That is not true at all. The Giants started 0-2 in 2007 and went on to win the Super Bowl.

 

Yeah, i realized this after they kept saying it on this show (pardon the interruption) I must have misheard what they were saying

 

Tony and Wilbon are clueless.

 

I think it was since 2008
never mind, Redskins have dropped to 0-3 lol think only 5 teams have ever overcome that?

 

Redskins get their 1st win, good ol' Raiders lol

how many of us are supporting winning teams in here? most sorry group of fans ever in this thread lol
Redskins crap, Giants winless, Jets crap anyone else?

 

Geno Smith's fumble yesterday :fp:fp Why would putting the ball behind your back solve anything in this situation?

 

lol he must have had a brainfart moment and thought he was playing basketball. the QB class this year was supposed to be crap....
whats happened to Sanchez? thank god the redskins didnt draft sanchez after rumours came out we were thinking of trading up for him when he came out a few yrs back

Minnesota v Pittsburgh was played in Wembley last night, thats about a 30min drive from where I am but I didnt go because Id rather stay home and watch a free live stream of the redskins : D

 

lol, don't forget even sanchez in his rookie year took us to the AFC championship game and everyone thought he had a lot of potential. I think Sanchez got a lot of unfair criticism the last few years as he had poor O-lines and no receivers.

I was suprised to see the turnout for the game in Wembley, is the NFL getting big over there?

 

havent followed Sanchez's career but seems like he has yet to have that break out year and take the next step

The NFL has been getting bigger here for quite a few years, another game next month here too, think its Jags v the niners - yep wont be going to that one either lol although I'm tempted to look into it as one of my brothers supports the 49ers

 

I cry everytime

 

Gronkowski out with a torn acl/mcl. Huge blow for the patriots...they looked average without him in the beginning of the season.

Redskins should really consider resting RG3 now.

 

yep read on the washington post that Shanahan will decide tomorrow whether to rest RGIII and play Kirk Cousins instead

 

Patriots without Gronk will be okay for regular season, it'll be a problem in playoffs, especially if they don't get a bye week.

 

wild finish to the season. Orton filling in for romo pulls a romo with a chance to win it.

Chargers pull through against the cheifs (who were resting everyone)

 

redskins fire coach shanahan
a season which started with so much promise fizzled out terribly
kind of sad to see him go, I think the problem was more the defense, but a fresh start is what is needed after all the drama that went on through the season but a feeling of deja vu with the need to rebuild yet again
need a new owner too but that is just not going to happen

 

What's the count on fired coaches this Black Monday?

Texans, Browns, Redskins, Buccaneers... Who else?

 

think the lions have fired Jim Schwartz too?

 

just checked - leslie frazier fired from the vikings too

 

6 coaching spots are currently open. I think the best job up right not is Detroit. They have a QB and the best WR in the league. Their defensive line is stellar.

 

yup, hes gone

Woody johnson says rex is safe and that "he couldn't be prouder of the team"

how the hell can he say that when we didnt even make the playoffs? so if we make the playoffs or don't make it he is equally proud? what an idiot he is.

 

I'm surprised Jerry kept Garrett in Dallas. jets keeping Rex comes as no surprise. The team did as well as one would expect from this roster.

 

So Chiefs are knocked out in a shootout. 11 teams left in the hunt for the SB.

 

unbelievable loss for KC. Up by 28 in the 3rd and end up losing.

The saints finally win a road playoff game, that too in cold weather of philly

 

Another two good games coming up today..

 

Niners - Packers game will be epic. Could be the coldest game in NFL history with wind chill pushing temps to -30F

 

What's your prediction?

I'm thinking 24-17 Packers.

 

49ers have a great recipe for success...good running game and defense. The outcome may depend on how good rodgers is. He didn't look great last week for the most part so we'll see how he does today.

 

So Peyton Manning wins the superstar battle to reach Super Bowl which coincidentally could also be the last battle between him and Brady.

 

Richard Sherman with the hilarious interview last night. Sad to see Seattle fans throwing popcorn at Bowman while being carted off

 

Seahawks v Broncos SB..... *pukes*

 

What a start to the off season for the jets. We have signed Revis, cromartie and skine. Also have gotten Brandon Marshall and Ryan Fitzpatrick via trades. The draft can make this a great offseason for us

 

Eagles are on a wild ride themselves.

 

I have no idea what's going on in Philly. The McCoy trade ended up being ok since they got kiko and demarco. But I don't get the foles trade.

 

Bills, Dolphins, Jets.. all adding more firepower to their rosters. Patriots might have a tougher time in the AFCE

 

Just tell me if Jamaal's team will be able to pose a real Super Bowl challenge or not?
