Football (NFL) USA

[Dan]

I am definitely ready for some football!! Let's go GIANTS!!

[uufta]

Hi you all ! Greg here , still alive and kicking

Well, Boss John
Are we playing this year??

The Vikes look good on paper

2015 pool week 1 picks are up

Greg like u I am still breathing so the pool goes on. We gotta keep playing so we can try to kick ur butt LOL

I posted a message to the pool site about 10 minutes ago about the pool being up.

The Eagles look dynamite so far, O line D Line, LB and secondary and the ST woooow, but it is only preseason. Kelly has some tough choices to make by Saturday for the final cut to 53.

Kiko Alonso is still a little gimpy with his knee and has not played a snap in the preseason since he got his bell rung in practice. With the bum wheel he has one reporter saying we mighta gave McCoy away for nuttin' (but got 11M cap room when he left.

But with Murray, Matthews and Sproles and I think they will keep Kenjon Barner for running backs. Bradford looks good and took some good hits and got up even after Suggs went for his knees

Once again the birds have me excited like they have for all these years.

The Vikes are putting way to many eggs in the Peterson basket

Like I said , they look good on paper, to bad we don't play on paper

First game - MNF AT 49ers .....Yikes!

Good to see you are still kicking my friend, good luck this year.

8 nationally televised games for the Eagles

Greg good to see u back also. Good luck to u too!

Kelly has complete control of picking players now and I think his basket is full with all kinda players to use.

The Eagles have 8 of their games on national TV so far this year. Hope they do good


From the Eagles site:

The Eagles will be in the national spotlight early and often during the 2015 season. They will play in front of a national audience eight times, with five primetime games, two 4:25 PM game of the week appearances and a holiday gathering.

It all starts on September 14, as the Eagles open the season in Atlanta on Monday Night Football. Eagles fans are hoping for a repeat of the 2013 season, when the Eagles also opened on the road on Monday night, jumping out early and putting on an amazing offensive display in Chip Kelly’s first NFL win.

Along with the Atlanta game, the Eagles will also play the New York Giants, Dallas, Washington and Carolina in primetime showdowns. The Eagles will also play on Thanksgiving for the second straight year, this time in Detroit, and the two late-afternoon Sunday games will be against Dallas and New England.

Real football is coming soon!!!

I thought the Vikes play the 49ers on MNF Sept 14..???
I see the Eagles play the Falcons on MNF too.
Where have I been ? When did they start this?

[jm1647]

Greg, yup 2 MNF games. Ain't sure when it started but it gets my head spinning

Eagles/Jets preseason game is on with the 3 and 4's fighting to make the team ...borrrrrrrrring

I didn't know there were 2 MNF games in week 1 until I went to make my picks in the pool. Eagles are @ 7:10PM ET and Vikes @ 10:20PM ET


Edit again - It was bugging me about when 2 MNF games started and I found this:

Monday Night Football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday_Night_Football

Wikipedia
From 2003 to 2005, one game was played on Thursday and another Monday under the Monday Night Football banner. Starting in 2006, when the series moved to cable, two games are played on the opening Monday night to capitalize on fan interest during "NFL Kickoff Weekend".

Man how time flies...2006 wow

[jm1647]

Tebow will be Tebowing in Philly now

Looks like Tebow made the 53 man roster....Eagles traded Barkley to the Cardinals for a conditional 7th round pick in 2016.....Good for Tebow

[jm1647]

Tebow cut

Eagles roster now down to 52 players and they cut Tebow.
Only have 2 QB's right now

Players cut are @:

Shows how good my attention span is.

Greg I'm with ya. I thought it happened during the regular season too before, not just opening day, which I forgot about too.

[uufta]

SH!T.
We lost our starting right guard for the year, now our center for at least a half year, all but one guy will be playing his normal position on the O-Line.

Looks like Peterson might want to avoid running up the middle for awhile

Big hello

Hey guys! Just a note to say a big hello and "I'm soooooooooooooo ready for football! Hope everyone is well and happy. Here's to a good season. Josie

[jm1647]

Dan, dr, josie, and uufta glad to heae from you and welcome back!

Everybody got their Thursday Night game picks in except br7 who missed all of last year also. So to avoid as Maynard G Krebs says "Work!" I removed br7 from the pool.

The games have begun!
