NFL Thread

So it kicks off tonight. Ravens V Broncos. Should be a great game. Anyone going to be watching? I will likely have to catch it on gamepass tomorrow

Currently waiting for my new job to start so I'm gonna be watching live.

I'm pretty nervous for this one, hoping for a repeat of the playoff game but Denver are (obviously) very dangerous.

It's going to be tight as neither team has lost big players and Denver added Welker. Will just be wrong to see him in orange. Hopefully AP racks up big points for one of my leagues

We lost Boldin and Pitta's injured who were our two red-zone/clutch receivers which is a bit of a worry.

Looks like Monday Night Football is gonna be on British Eurosport this season. Apparently it was the schedule for a short period of time today before they took it down again. Good news for me as we already have British Eurosport, and I'm sure they'll be forcd to use the ESPN in game commentary anyway.

Eurosport is free on sky right

I don't know. We have the Sky Sports package which I assume it's lumped in with.

Seems I will be able to watch the game live tonight

Ravens

Finally underway after a 45 min storm.

Ravens started with a 3 and out, but we forced the Bronco's to punt as well. Not too bad a start

Leach with a receiving TD \o/

The only relief in this game is I'm not playing the guy with Manning as his QB in fantasy /o\

Have fun with that one Tommo!

Missed the game as fell asleep waiting. That's just my luck I would be playing manning but it's fine Kaepernick will rush for 2 and throw 5 TDs.

Just looked at the fantasy and he has 74 points just from manning and Thomas :/ good way to start the league

NFL Sunday is finally upon us everyones fantasy teams set?

Peterson is a machine! He said he was getting 2000 yards this season

I've been fucked in the ass dry this week.

AD, Green and Cruz all going for 30, nothing to do about that. (Funny thing is I have both AD and Green in another league)

I did decently considering my RBs underperformed. Under 15 carries for MJD and TRich, not good.

Glad to have football back tho, especially with the international break 7 hours of Redzone is the shit.

You watch Giants-Cowboys? Was turnover galore!

In my Patriots league my RBs where amazing. Peterson 3 TDs and 93 Yards, Vereen 101 Yards and 58 Rec just missing that TD (Thank you Ridley for that fumble) & Lacy 41 Rushing, 31 Rec and a TD. Add that with Kaepernick 412 passing and 3 TDs and Zuerleins monster leg

The best thing about it is he played Lance Moore in flex over Edelmanina and his 2 TDs

Yeah that was one weird game. I can't believe the Giants were nerly one Hail Mary away from winning considering how poorly they played.

Eli was Eli in the 4th but he had two horrendous INT before that, Glabberesque. That plus David Wilson who can't hold on to the ball for shit (he finished at -3 in FF )

Looking forward to Eagles-Redskins tonight, should be a shootout.

Expected Romo to be a little worse then he was last night but it dident stop RomoBeRomo trending on twitter

Should be interesting tonight with 2 good games. The two main things in the Eagles game will be is RGIII Back to himself of last year and how has Chip Kelly brought in his Oregon Scheme. I personally could see this be a breakout year for Vick after a few poor seasons.

Chargers-Texans would have been more enjoyable tonight if Te'o played but I can see D.J Fluker having a big rookie start on the O Line but thats just some Bama bias.

Fuck! Vereen our for few weeks with broken bone in wrist. No decent RB avaliable on FA list. Going to keep an eye on Willis McGahee who Giants are trailing today

LAGARETT BLOUNT TO THE RESCUE.

Or not.

Yeah Vick (and McCoy) should thrive under Chip Kelly but the Redskins have an excellent rush D (especially with Orakpo back this year). He's bound to get injuried at some point thought.

Should be a great first game tonight. I'm really excited to see Chip Kelly's offence! I listened to someone (can't remember who exactly) on a podcast that thpught RG3 wasn't moving as fluidly as last year in practices - so that'll be interesting to see as well.

I think the Houston San Diego game could end up being a one sided victory for Houston. San Diego have a lot to prove on offence for me. Fantasy wise I'm happy to hear Foster should be sharing carries with Ben Tate!

Patriots beat Buffalo PHEW!

Kid has skills

The Redskins are embarassingly bad tonight.

It will take a few weeks for Threesus to get back in the things, he looks really rusty out there, as does the rest of the team save Kerrigan (guy's a beast)

Credits to the Eagles, their offense is clicking

Vereen placed on IR-Designated. Cant play again until week 11

Managed to pick up Edelmania on waiver should be number 1 reciever against Jets with Amedola out

Ugh, that sucks. Now to decide whether to keep him or not! Need to pick a new D for this week as well, not particularly keen on anything that's available on the waiver wire.

I thought it was interesting that in the Eagles Redskins game that two teams that run a lot of read option didn't decide to hit the opposing QB at every opportunity, like Green Bay did. Perhaps that might not be the best way of slowing the read option down, despite a lot of teams talking about doing it this season.

I kept Vereen on pats one but don't have a back up QB so have the space.

I love Kaepernicks comment after game "
If intimidation is your game plan, I hope you have a better one,"

God that was a ugly and long game last night. One of the worst I have seen the Pats play. Tompkins and Dobson dropped easy balls which meant all the balls went to Edelman. Jets seems to have a good run D past two weeks keeping Martin and Ridley to minimal yards. Only reason we got the win last night was because our Defence was on form. Jones with two sacks and Arrington, McCourty and Talib all playing well but against a better QB like Manning we could have got destroyed
