Well yesterday's Hall of Fame game marked the start of the 2015 NFL Season. Teddy is looking good from what I've seen so far.

I don't know why I got my hopes up for that game. I was so hyped for football and it was just so boring. Teddy threw 6 times? Neither AP or Antonio Brown came on. Ben didn't even suit up. I was disappointed.

Yeah I'm about half way through and it's pretty average. Definitely looking forward to this weekend, just got my Gamepass package renewed so I'm good to go for the season. Price went up a fair bit though, $255AUD

[jbondeson]

I'm not so hard up for football this year that I'm excited for the preseason. Wake me up when we're ready to play games that matter.

Paying attention in the preseason is painful because the only things that can happen that matter are bad. 

(no more ACL tears for Broncos kthxbye)

Are there really the full 16 games going on this weekend?

Definitley went up. I think they have combined it this year with whatever service they had in the US, and bumped the price up. For me it used to be 24GBP per quarter, now it's 33.

Yep! The schedule is especially awesome because for once I can watch a large portion of the games. First game on Sunday is usually about 1am here so it's nice to have some Saturday games to watch on Sunday morning here.

As long as we don't have an insane amount of injuries again and our defensive FA signings pan out, I really can't see how anyone but the Falcons wins the NFC South. Cinderella year coming

If Julio can stay healthy you've got a good shot, I'm expecting big things from the Panthers this year though.

I used to like watching young talent emerge in the preseason, but I have also seen what participating (and sitting out) can do for a player.

It probably also depends upon what stage your team is at as well. The Broncos have a veteran team for the most part with a new coach  that have championship aspirations. This usually means that the preseason will characterized by a healthy dose of Brock "da lobstah" Osweiler (who's looked terribad in camp), and a terribly vanilla game plan on offense and defense.

If your team is in rebuilding mode or have a ton of young talent, the preseason can be exciting.

I'll be over here closing my eyes and holding my breath to see if we can get out of this without losing anyone else.

[jdcarpe]

My prediction this season? Broncos win the Super Bowl so Peyton can retire.

Payton is washed up, Derek Carr #1

Payton is washed up

Hey now Sean Payton is a fine coach!

Derek Carr #1

Oooohhh, right, Raiders fan, you were trying to insult Peyton Manning!

Just imagine, if we have a good offensive line this year, what we can do with an actually decent RB duo + Ryan/Jones/White/Hardy. Not sure that I'm expecting a ton out of Hankerson, but we got him cheapish so I won't really care either way

[katushkin]

The Packers will win the Superbowl. 17-0

Right on!

Ready for that Marino like sophomore season for Carr

[abswyfe]

Go G-MEN!!!!

We got wideouts like mad
But I fear Eli may not have much time to throw to them

Also
Steve Spags better make our **** defense back to how he did last time

[nickheller]

Maybe if the Rams are decent this year they will stay in Saint Louis...

most reliable play on the Raiders = Sebastian Janikowski

this is my hero....just look at that yummy dip he has in:

Kicker
Doesn't have to take care of himself, train, etc
Gets all benefits of being NFL player

Only that dummy Steve Weatherford on the Giants takes his body seriously then he overdoes it and sucks or gets brittle and hurt

Kickers are people too!

Seriously, kickers have a lot of **** to do, and they have a very unforgiving position. Kicking a 45 yard FG is no mean feat. And now with the PAT moving to a 33yd attempt, they are going to have more pressure on them.

[jbondeson]

Hahaha, Enemkpali (a 6th round pick and 3rd string LB) of the Jets just broke Geno Smith's jaw after a fight in the locker room. He's out 6-10 weeks... 

$10 Ryan Fitzpatrick put him up to it!

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

Wow. That guy is gonna get murdered by those blue collar Jets fans.


Unless they paid him to do it...

[vindaon]

That's so Jets. How does that even happen?

[jerue]

Ready for a mediocre at best season for my Eagles. Last season had a lot of promise but that was mostly due to McCoy and Foles (later on), both are now gone. Tim Tebow?? *sigh. Also, Eagles fans are an odd bunch. Can't really expect anything less with Philly though..

As long as we don't have an insane amount of injuries again and our defensive FA signings pan out, I really can't see how anyone but the Falcons wins the NFC South. Cinderella year coming

If Julio can stay healthy you've got a good shot, I'm expecting big things from the Panthers this year though.

Seconded. And living in the Carolinas means I won't get enough earfuls of Panther fans

The Fitzmagic curse continues! I feel bad for Geno but **** I'm glad it's not the 9ers for once. My poor heart can't take any more of this offseason.

Boy am I excited for all those kitty tears

The Packers will win the Superbowl. 17-0

Now someone is talking some sense!!

Yeeeeeeeeee

[jbondeson]

The way Fitzy keeps getting starting jobs by the #1 continually going down is odd enough to make you wonder...

I also heard they were looking at bringing Grossman in.

Could you imagine Sexy Rexy AND Fitzy on the same team IN NYC? Oh man that might just get me through the preseason.

[bueller]

LOL Rex Ryan just claimed IK Enemkpali off waivers. Didn't think it was possible but I love the guy even more now, never change Rex.

Rumour has it his signing bonus is $600 lol

[katushkin]

So which one is the bad QB again? Winston or Mariota?

It's Winston isn't it... I'm just watching the Titan's game vs the Falcons to see if Mariota is any good.

Edit: Oh dear... an INT on his first series... Welcome to the NFL kid

Edit2: Oh boy...

[katushkin]

The Redskins look terrible this season. Don't know why I am even slightly surprised though...

I'm seriously worried about watching the 9ers game tomorrow.

[katushkin]

Holy ****, how many times did Jimmy Garopolo get sacked by the Packers?

And the Pack definitely haven't got any QB problems, both your backups look really quite good... Hundley's got a decent arm. Can we have him? Swap RG3 for him...

[katushkin]

Also, TBF, you did have the Texans to start with, so it's not really going to be the best showing of your offence.

[jerue]

Do I really want to watch the Eagles and Colts today? Eagles isn't even starting Tebow. 8-10 snaps before switching out? Has Chip Kelly never played musical chairs and wants to start with QB's??

I have to move my TV to my living room (where the cable box is setup) to see if I even have NFL network, and it's such a nice day outside, I could be doing other things...sigh.

Eagles win 24-21.

[HoffmanMyster]

And the Pack definitely haven't got any QB problems

[hwood34]

honestly, looking through out schedule I really can't see the Falcons losing more than 4 games, the only good teams we play even are the eagles, cowboys, and colts. 4 cause maybe we drop one of the two against the panthers.



maybe

[absyrd]

The Redskins look terrible this season. Don't know why I am even slightly surprised though...

But RGIII said he is the best quarterback in the league...
