lichtie23 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 After what feels like an eternity the NFL Kickoff Game for the 2021 season arrives with the Dallas Cowboys facing the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers to begin Week 1 of the regular season in the early hours of Friday morning. The Buccs will raise the banner in front of a sold out Raymond James Stadium after securing their 2nd Super Bowl title with a comfortable win over the Chiefs last season. A reminder that this is game 1 of 17 for these teams after the league added an extra game to the schedule from this season. Fans couldn’t ask for much more than two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL facing off to begin the 2021 season. Tom Brady is coming off his seventh Super Bowl win and still looking to prove himself by defying Father Time even more in his age-44 season. Dak Prescott put himself on track for a historic season in 2020, then a gruesome ankle injury wiped it away. While he missed the entire preseason due to a late injury, the Pro Bowl quarterback will look to prove he is worth that massive contract extension. The Cowboys will be without their influential o-lineman Zack Martin who is suffering from Covid and won’t pass protocols before the opening game while the Buccs could be without Safety Jordan Whitehead. The game is live on Sky Sports with a 1.20am kickoff. The NFL is back gentleman! Let’s hope it’s a successful and uninterrupted season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Brady playing without a knee brace sounds like it is going to end well. Not sure what to think about this one, Buccs put in one of the best defensive displays I've seen in a long time in the Superbowl. Cowboys on the other hand tend to start well, get all excited about it being their year and then choke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Will have to support Brady I guess.Warmed to him slightly after he lost to Da Bears and then knocked the Packers out in the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many failed attempt to stay up for games last season ended in my only seeing the third quarter, so we'll try something different this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same. he's now won a superbowl without Belachick cheating for him. what I do hate now though are Bucs fans. for a team that haven't been relevant for a long long time they have turned into Pats fans overnight. 10 hours ago, lichtie23 said: This…..a billion times over! Iv not watched a second of Hard Knocks this year because it’s them on it you've missed some excellent TV.... for falling asleep to!! it is by far the worst series they have done. so sanitised. although i would recommend watching the drone footage of the training ground. that was amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
