NFL General Discussion

[Swarley 4,979]

I’m now hoping for a Chiefs v 49ers Super Bowl.

Nah, Seahawks v Patriots, time to get that play called correctly this time.

[Lambie's Pigeon Feed 1,624]

My internal nfl clock thinks its game day, holidays have thrown it off. Can anyone confirm the 1.20am games aren't blacked out on gamepass? Think its only the 6 and 9pm ones but cant find a definitive answer. Fucking buzzing for the 9ers Seattle game!

Antonio Brown apparently working out for the Saints. Deary me

AB and Mike Thomas would be an outrageous pairing. Amazing what can be overlooked when there is elite talent though.

No Drew Brees in the NFL top 100

Should be on m8.

The earlier mentions of playing Madden reminded me of my first NFL game - Unnecessary Roughness on the PC. Anyone play this?

His body of work, longevity, surely gets him in

Apparently not. I can understand Rodgers not making it, but find the omission of Brees shocking

[Bully Wee Villa 8,895]

I think Rodgers should be in instead of (or as well as) Favre, too. Favre had an amazing number of TD passes,  but that's not too surprising considering they threw it on virtually every down and he never got injured. He also threw a shitload of interceptions.

Rodgers is far more accurate and will have five or six game spells without a single pick every bloody season.

I used to always feel much more confident against Favre than I do against Rodgers. 

Not that I ever feel confident against either...

Brees should be in, too.

Edit: have checked this and Rodgers has 364 TDs vs 84 interceptions from 181 games. Favre has 508 vs 336 from 302  games.

So, not only is Favre MUCH more likely to get an interception, Rodgers gets more TDs per game than he did, too.

Summary: decision = shambles.

Rumours on the Denver Broncos website that next season’s Atlanta v Denver game won’t be taking place in Atlanta. Article also mentions the fact Denver haven’t played an IS game since 2010. Interesting... will probably take it to Mexico City. 😯

That would check out. Atlanta haven't "hosted" a game abroad since their stadium was granted the Super Bowl. One of the pre-conditions for being granted the Super Bowl nowadays is that you have to give up a home game to the International Series in the following few seasons (not sure how many).

I predict Green Bay at Houston will also be chosen as Houston hosted a Super Bowl recently and the Packers are the only team that hasn't come over yet. Although they may wait a season or two as Houston were here as an away team this year.

Will the Giants or Redskins use their high draft pick on a QB? A new head coach might be willing to admit that Daniel Jones or Dwayne Haskins look like cat poop and Burrow / Herbert / Tua represent a significant upgrade.

2020 schedule viz. Each team plays 

a) the teams in the same shading

b) the teams in the same row#

c) the teams in the same column

No.  Anyone who thinks either of these QBs are a bust already have not been paying attention.   Redskins will either go Chase Young or trade down and pick up a need plus a 2nd round pick which they don't have.  

[Fife Saint 1,846]

So here we are again.

 

Complete nuke to the Browns hierarchy with HC Kitchens gone yesterday and 2 year GM John Dorsey out a few moments ago.

 

Speculation that a deal done with a new HC that didnt want to work with Dorsey. Further speculation it's McDaniels from the Pats.

First gridiron game I ever remember playing was 10 yard fight in the arcades. Think we had one for the ZX Spectrum called American Football, all you did was call the plays, you didn't control any of the players.

That game is coming back for 2020. You call plays, but cannot control your players. It’s called ‘Browns Head Coach’. Might get it on the Playstation.

[Mr X 3,136]

I remember playing something where you only called the plays, can't remember the name though. First game I remember playing a lot of was 4th and inches. Fairly basic but good fun
