Of all the things that impresses me the most is that side line to sideline he can pretty much catch any running back and through the middle he can lay the heat on pretty much anyone too. A freak of an athlete
Yes, it's pretty impressive. But the Panthers are extremely fortunate to have both TD and Kuechly who possess that sideline-to-sideline ability. And on top of that, they are both freaks when it comes to coverage. They are both on safety level when it comes to coverage and ball-hawking.
 
Can't wait for the new season to get underway....

Just watching the final episode of this year's Hard Knocks. This year has been pretty crap to be frank. The fact that they've made the Hayes dinosaur shit the biggest recurring story really sums it up.

It's just a combination of him talking about dinosaurs or mermaids, Kush being a meat-head jock douche and lots and lots of montages over music.

It doesn't help that there's not really any particularly likeable characters in the squad compared to the Texans last year and the Cards on All Or Nothing, and far less of a team vibe.

Agreed, Texans was SO much better. But still an enjoyable watch as a bit of don't-need-to-think TV.
 
Gronk has a hamstring injury, a possible doubt for the first game. We really need him to stay fit
 
Feck off Barcelona. Not a single place showing the game tonight. Wandered around town all night and finally found an Irish pub which was showing Sky Sports but they had to close at 2am. Literally everyone closes around that time here ffs. No season opener for me, Sunday can't come soon enough.
 
Marshawn Lynch considering "unretiring" apparently.

Lot of speculation from people on twitter that he would go to Oakland. No experts saying this mind you, just putting 2 and 2 together, ie, he is from Oakland. Seattle must still owned his rights, so if he wanted to come back, but not to Seattle, they would have to trade him. Wonder what you could get for a player who is willing to return, but only if the team that owns his rights gets rid of him. He would have big value while being useless/valueless to the Seahawks. Must have been hurt last year, but he still wasn't that great. He is 30 years old now, and most runners don't have a very long shelf life.
 
Maybe you can find a stream online?
I hope so but never done that before on mobile phone.. It's also a lot more tiresome to watch it alone in your bed than in a pub with other folks.

I'm going for Broncos 17 - 21 Panthers.
 
The offense needs a find a way to get going. CJ and DT have a huge role now for the rest of the game. Its up to them.
 
This matchup is so fun to watch. Even if one team gets the ball in the redzone, there is still a good chance they could come away with 0 points. Both defences so good
 
So, predictions like last year? May as well make an ass of myself before the season even begins :lol:

AFC East: Patriots
AFC West: Raiders
AFC North: Steelers
AFC South: Texans
Wildcards: Too tough to call

NFC East: Cowboys
NFC West: Cardinals
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Panthers
Wildcards: Vikings, Seahawks

Feel like it's quite an open season. Who knows with the NFC East, a complete tossup. AFC looks tough as feck to call outside of the Pats topping the East. Raiders over the Broncos and Chiefs in the West is probably a big call but I think we'll see even more improvements from them this season, that division could easily swing either way though.
I think the Raiders are a year away from the playoffs. Jags too. I'm going with a somewhat biased SB...

Vikes over Pats..
