American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

Have you seen the Dolphins schedule

 

Everyone in the AFC East have wicked hard schedules. I can see my Pats winning anywhere from 10 to 13 games.

 

im hopeful of a good season for the cowboys. losing @ denver in week 4 though the weather hopefully wont have that big an impact at that time of year and @kansas in week 5 are possibilities. then probably at the giants and the eagles and i would expect to trouble at green bay in november. obviously i would expect a couple of losses over the course of the season but likewise i would think theres a good chance of getting a win from one or more of the games i've highlighted as the main problems. pretty optimistic at this stage

 

With TO out of that locker room, hopefully the Cowboys will be a little better. It will be hard losing a player like him, though. Roy Williams is going to have to step up.

 

roy was apparantly playing with an injured foot so hopefully he'll be better this year. he did make the pro bowl remember with detroit.

on another note see john maddens chucked it

 

WHAT THE *!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? The last 12!!!! games for the Chargers are all in different timezones than the one before and after. Completely unbelievable.. And against hard teams, too... I'm seriously * off at this. Look at this, then pull out a map of the US.

VS Denver (Western)
AT Kansas City (Central +2)
VS Oakland (Western -2)
AT New York (Eastern +3)
VS Philadelphia (Western -3)
AT Denver (Mountain +1)
VS Kansas City (Western -1)
AT Cleveland (Eastern +3)
AT Dallas (Central -1)
VS Cincinnati (Western -2)
AT Tennessee (Central +2)
VS Washington (Western -2)

cannot believe that stafford has 41.7 guaranteed. absolutely insane money for someone who has never taken a snap in the nfl. they really need to bring in a rookie salary cap.

 

Take it he was first pick as expected then? Crazy money right enough

 

well the draft doesn't start for another 4 hours but because the lions had first pick they were allowed to sign him up. a 78 million dollar six year contract with nearly 42 million gathered. not bad for a guy just out of college

 

Would love it if this actually happened the previous games in London were great. Even although the actual Dolphins game was poor enough game it was my first experience of seeing the NFL live so thoroughly enjoyed it - would love to go to a superbowl:

BBC SPORT | Other sport... | American Football | NFL in talks on London Super Bowl

 

its not going to happen
Goodell denies London Super Bowl rumor | Truth&Rumors | FanNation

on another note wasn't expecting the cowboys to drop out of the second round as well, i'm now expecting james casey at some point tonight

 

Well Al davis has out done himself again. Not content with doing everything in his power to make the Raiders the worst team in the league he manged to make a total joke of the Raiders draft picks this weekend. Wasting a second round pick on a nobody whom he could have signed for nothing this week as he wasn't going to be drafted. This right after he had wasted the 7th pick on an average receiver when by far the top 2 wide receivers in the country were still available.

This guy is beyond belief. If it wasn't for Detroit the Raiders would be the laughing stock of the nfl. Although after this weekend maybe they are already. I mean it's to the point with this lunatic that you would swear he was actually trying to make sure the Raiders lose intentionally.

 

According to a lot of analysts the Bengals had the best or one of the best drafts this year. Thats a first I have ever heard of that in my lifetime. I'm just hoping my Bengals win more than we lose this year.

 

Breaking news: A tornado hit the Cowboys practice facility, one building was completely destroyed and one person confirmed injured so far within just a couple of minutes. This will be a story, believe me.

 

apparantly the special teams coach joe decamillis has a broken back but other than that no-one was seriously injured

 

Will NFL Europe ever return?

 

probably not. and regards the cowboys bubble incident one of the scouts is paralysed

 

Apparently mother nature is a big fan of T.O and Roy Williams and wasnt too happy with the Cowboys letting them go. I still blame Jessica Simpson.

 

it would never have happened if romo wasn't spending so much time playing golf

 

NEW YORK GIANTS!!!!! although it is kinda Ironic since there colours are blue, red, and white
