Suppose I'll whack this up seeing as pre-season has started.
Who's looking good ? Bad ? Might have to pick up one of these practice games or two because I haven't followed the off-season at all.

It's looking "good" for the Browns, just wondering how exactly we will fuck it up
Excellent head coach, everyone back on offence, absolutely went to town on the defence which was terrible last year
so should be better.
Expecting Mayfield to catch triple Covid. Plus the Ravens, there is always those fuckers.

REDZONE RETURNS !
Ahhh, Sundays are great again. Going to be interesting for the Pack, with Rodgers and Adams one foot out the door already, and whether they'll have a top season or get pissy somepoint through. Didn't look great in preseason which doesn't instill confidence tbh.
Bills look fun, continuing where they left off, and has Tampa realised they basically have the ol' Pats as a team yet ? Brady looked frightening as always on Thurs opener, but more surprising that Prescott wasn't shit.
How's everyone else looking ?

Settled in for the evening. Feels good.
Interested to see if my Fish can step on from last season. Would be nice to see Tua to give the doom-mongers two fingers, but could see it going the other way too.
Either way, looking forward to it.

Well, Steelers was an upset, Big Ben at about 50% completion and still steal the win, Lions coming so close, and the Bengals/Vikes still going has been great so far.
And Bengals sneak it.

But KC are coming back.
The Pack meanwhile look absolutely awful (no matter how well the Saints are playing) and it's going to be a long season I feel. Sigh.

Nice to see the Packers get a shellacking Aaron Rodgers on a sabotage mission? The number of side and shovel passes makes me think "possibly", but the whole team just struggled. Commentators even picked up on the blase attitude during the Saints drives. Thank god the MIA & KC games are entertaining. |

I don't like this new weird depth of field camera thing they've been using every now and then in some games. It looks like a bad green screen effect.

Lot of matches these past 2 weeks have felt like playoff games. Last night was wild, so many close games.

There are some weird-ass play calls from the Chargers at the end of this game.

Bit of a weird day all round - an attempt at the longest FG in NFL history turns into the Jags running back the joint-longest TD ever, then elsewhere the Ravens win their game with... the longest FG in NFL history...

I'm a bit of a Matthew Stafford fanboi, so I'm glad to see him finally have a good team around him.
Early days, but looks like he could be the missing link the Rams have been looking for.

The Ravens game was mental and so was the end of the Chiefs game. Feels like it's a really competitive season between any team that isn't currently starting a rookie QB.
Pretty annoyed at the Giants for bottling their game as they broke my accumulator and cost me £250. Shaft strokers.

I had to laugh, as the US media has been going mental over the Bears not starting Fields, even though they laid out their plan for him ages ago.
JUST STICK HIM IN! HE WAS EXCELLENT AT COLLEGE LEVEL! WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN?
It's almost as if the team management know a bit more about what they're doing than sports journalists.

Not as pathetic as the officiating with mah Packers. Just finished off the replay (4am work boo), and holy shit, absolutely embarrassing. Much like the early celebrations by some 49ers.  |

Unfortunately far more importantly than the actual NFL season I'm going to be 1-2 in both my fantasy leagues.

Browns gonna brow... force of habit, sorry. Vikes gonna Vike. Back to normal after the anomaly.
Finales to this early section have been mental. How many O/T games have we had in 4 weeks already ? And what happened to the Saints after kicking the Pack first game ? Even after the coaches/covid quarantine, they're struggling against the Giants lol.

Honestly thought he would end of last season. O-line isn't helping, but he's been terrible bar the odd big important play, and that's all that's keeping him in (bar money and any prospective replacement).
Don't want to say we're comfy yet, but looking manageable thus far.

When you look at Brady compared to Ben, you'd think the ages were the other way round.
