Niiice. Nothing like the real thing. I'm with fish fingers though, you gonna get beat.

I checked the London tickets the other day and there's like singles for £150+ to meh games, not for me.
Jesus, that's more than I've paid for tickets at Denver.

They won't win in Denver, the altitude is an enormous home field advantage and our secondary is absolutely filthy, OBJ will get nothing.

B Marshall or Shepherd will then :)

Altitude is a factor, but I think Giants have a solid team this time. While they may not match man to man, Giants have a super defence as well and Denver don't have a good QB as Manning (as much as it is funny to say)
 
Anyone else think Philly will be sneaky good this season?

Shocked they are that much.

If I don't manage to sell my 4th games, will let you know. At face value obvs
 
With Albert retiring, does anybody think those recent retirements are about CTE or is this still the normal amount of retirements?
 
@Phil what the f?!

My London season ticket (all 4 games) cost me £160. And that's middle of top tier, between the 45-50 yard line at both Twickenham and Wembley... so not even rubbish seats!
 
@Rado_N Congrats mate.

I go to the London games every year which are enjoyable.

But when I went NYC in 2015 I saw Jets Giants (the one which went to overtime) and it was probably one of the best days out I've had ever.

Next on my list... Gillette!

Yeahhh, I think it's pretty much sold out at this point other than these tickets (unsurprisingly).

I'm hoping to get some tickets through some other avenues so cheers @EdWeatherall .
 
Right Rado you've inspired me. Checking with my boss if I can have time off to go to the Seahawks at Giants game.
 
Will Fuller has broken his collarbone, out indefinitely :( ffs.

Poor guy. He couldn't get a break last year either, and I couldn't having him in fantasy either.

I am all booked. Off to my first game this year, Seahawks at Giants. Shieeeeeeet.
 
Is there anywhere I can find out which pre season games will be televised over here?

I don't remember seeing them for so cheap! 40quid a ticket is an absolute bargain. Last year i paid about £75 for the Red Skins game. The seats were great last year but paid for even better this year at the Ravens game - £125.

Yeah defo a bargain!
 
Anyone else subscribe to game pass?

Like, what the feck did they do to the app? Ok nice and shiny and glossy but wtf man, where's the download button gone? Whole subscription is worthless without that. I am mega pissed!

I've sent them a support ticket hopefully the app is WIP and download button will be back otherwise I'll be cancelling which will be heartbreaking!!!
 
@rpitroda with the post barrage! Thanks man I'm really excited but nervous on how I'm going to afford that.

Ahhh the app is back finally! I just checked the app store and they'd replied to a negative review saying Chromecast and downloads are coming back in the next few days.

That's good to know!

Mate no need to worry. And Metlife is an amazing stadium by the way.
 
I think my withdrawal is at it's height now because i know it's so close.

Actually excited about a crappy pre-season game (Cardinals and Cowboys) tonight, that's how bad it is!
 
Haven't watched preseason since Manning's first game for the Broncos, it's just so dull. Patriots winning the Superbowl has left me feeling unenthusiastic for next season.
 
I only watched the last two minutes last night, but from highlights and post-game commentary Rico Gathers looks a tasty prospect.

I'm also curious if Jaylon Smith might be used similar to how Jimmy used Darren Woodson in his first two seasons - a hybrid DB/LB type. Woodson ultimately settled in at SS (after Everett was traded) although he could also play both the FS & NB roles due to his speed and coverage skills (Woodson should be in the HOF eventually but may never make it). Smith is a little taller and about 10-15lbs bigger than Woodson but many probably forget/not aware Woodson played LB at Arizona State.

Ryan Tannehill injured his knee again in practice yesterday without contact.

Currently Tannehill and the Dolphins are looking into whether or not he should get surgery, after opting out of surgery after the hit from Calais Campbell last season.

I'm absolutely gutted about all of this. Tannehill will probably miss most, if not all of this season, and despite everything finally looking good at the start of the preseason for the Dolphins they pretty much can say goodbye to the playoffs now, let alone actually winning a game in the playoffs.

At least the overall trend of the Dolphins still seems to be upwards and Adam Gase still is the most exciting new head coach in the NFL.
 
:lol: Cutlers back!

$10m + potential $3m in incentives, according to the NFL website.

Suggests to me Tannehill will opt for surgery.
 
I can remember the revolving door at QB after Aikman's final injury and subsequent retirement. I also remember idiot Cowboys fans demanding Romo be cut so hacks like Jon Kitna or Kellen Moore could take over (armchair idiots), or draft "saviors" like Manziel (delusional A&M homers), or even bring in scrubs like Tebow (legit dumbasses).

Here's the Dolphins list of QBs since Tom Brady's first start in Boston. Just when the Dolphins appear to have a true "franchise" guy he promptly injures himself. I feel your pain, Fins.

 
Really surprised by Cutler's decision. Pretty sure he will end up injured at some point too.

Why? Very few who retire due to being released turn down a chance to come back. Even those who retire off their own try a comeback. It's a marriage of convenience.

People still don't take concussion that seriously. Only as a mode to sue for money.

I'm also not that surprised. He didn't really retire on his own terms and if he was still a Bear he would have continued.

Surprised because he's joining a decent side but not a contender & I'd have thought he'd be making decent money doing TV work. Plus I never got the hype around him. He's got a strong arm but makes so many mistakes for an experienced player.

I get the addiction to wanting to play, but unless he was going to a potential contender I don't see the point in playing another year (other than money, which I don't think he needs)
