I don't care if it's preseason, it's football. Finally. I will be watching tonight. And, we are > < close to the start of the regular season. PS Juice is not allowed in this thread for obvious reasons.
The Bills are apparently ready for a rebuild. Traded away Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby for downgrades at WR and corner (Matthews and Gaines), plus 2nd and 3rd round picks. I mean, in a vacuum, I don't hate it. Darby was inconsistent and Watkins couldn't stay healthy, plus Watkins is about to get paid big bucks. But it feels like a big shrug for the season and it definitely hurts Tyrod. Oh, Bills. Why does this relationship always hurt me?
Hey, I'm working on a custom fantasy league between me and my friends. I feel like with the normal ESPN scoring format too much power is placed on the QBs and not enough on defense. If you could, how would you weight defensive and running back scoring to even out QB scoring?
Turns out that Canada has a new NFL Online broadcaster, called DAZN. All games, NO BLACKOUTS! (<--- you see this shit?!?), and a bunch of other sports as well. Got it for $10 a month. I have to say it's a huge improvement over NFL Game Pass.... I just hope they also carry The Red Zone. Between $10/month for UFC, $10/month for DAZN, and $7/month for Netflix, I'm pretty happy with my "cable" package.
I booked tickets to watch the Ravens play the Dolphins...and what the fuck is a $21 convenience fee AND a $2.50 fee to "instantly email" me tickets? Really assholes?? Predictions: Dallas implodes. Dak isn't THAT good, and the Elliot drama will cost them, also their amazing OL from last season isn't intact. Pats...ugh...win. Cooks is a scary weapon, and unless Brady starts showing his age, if anything they will be better. Yet again, the NFC South will be the most entertaining division, with an outside shot at a Super Bowl (Atlanta, Carolina, hell...even Tampa Bay might get a turn). The AFC North implodes into mediocrity from Baltimore and Cincinnati, leaving it for a 9-7 Pittsburgh team to win. The Texans will continue to play 8 qb's a season and will win their division, and Indy will realize it can't win if Andrew Luck was the only player they invested in since 2014. Seriously, name another person on their roster. The AFC West is the most entertaining division that has no championship implications at all. Poor Denver... Somehow, all the California teams will suck, with Oakland being the best. Green Bay vs. Pats and Brady walks away with another one, this time making it look easy.
Believe me, I know a few things about them. For example, I hate them. They have been my teams season spoiler on more than one occasion (with some help from the officials). SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!
What, like last time? With everything going on down here I totally forgot football was starting this weekend. Should still be able to catch the week 1 ass raping of Seattle.
I will absolutely tip my hat to Green Bay if they beat Seattle this week. I mean, they only needed huge pieces of the defense to be injured or holding out to beat Seattle before. But, with a fully healthy, pissed off secondary and Sheldon Richardson playing his natural position in a contract year? That seems like a taller order. I just hope there aren't any injuries, other than the metaphorical Green Bay buttholes that have been fisted. Also: See y'all tomorrow.
That's cute. They lost by 28 points and barely got on the board at all. What will the excuse be this time? They canceled showing the falcons/bears game because even that channel needs to talk incessantly about Irma. It's still a day out from our area and they're basically walking downtown talking about how it's raining a little. Of course, there's like 15 other channels going with updates as well. Sigh. Still showing the jags though. Injuries already piling up in the first quarter. I missed the epic failure that is this football team.
So yeah... DAZN is shitting the bed. Big time. It better get better, or there's going to be hell to pay, considering that Canada is the NFL's biggest international consumer. They can't be happy about it.
