NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"Nutsin 6:00 Tue Jul 27 ""Put your money on the red and gold, you won't be disappointed."" On the other hand, the black and gold (Saints) are worse at 3 or 4 positions and are missing some key pieces (Thomas, Onyemata) to start the season. Fun times."

"Football is almost here. Niners are healthy, some much needed new faces on the O line, Mack at center and Banks the rookie at right guard, both long overdue and a new swing tackle too. Gotta protect Jimmy G and our new Franchise QB Lance. Bosa is back and whispers are that Dee Ford is healthy too. We even have some depth at our pass rushing position this year. A couple of new faces at Running back too! Also we drafted a couple of new CB's. Burnsey you slag! I'm Looking forward to beating down the arms again this year! Niners to win it all this year, It's our year! Put your money on the red and gold, you won't be disappointed."

"One of the Jets' quarterback coaches, Greg Knapp, died in a cycling accident late last week. Big blow to Saleh's new staff plan: Knapp had worked with some of the best QBs of the past 40 years - Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan etc - and was seen as a guy who could help develop Zach Wilson. We've still got a good OC, and a decent QB coach, but it's a big loss. Poor fella. Got hit by a vehicle while out on his bike."

"Rodgers has got a face that needs slapping at least half hour every day. Not those girly slaps the French public dole out to their politicians, proper knockout slaps like those Russians dish out in that mad slapping competition they play."

"You know the situation is bad when the Packers bring in Blake Bortles from free agency. Looks like a case of two stubborn fuckers - Rodgers and, er, the Packers' back-office leadership - unwilling to bend. Rodgers won't miss the cash from the fines, that's for sure. But they all seem to be screwing up the Packers' chances of another run at the Superbowl. They drafted quite well, too, so they have some decent new weapons."

Looks Aaron Rodgers really does want to leave. I can see him airing it out at the Mile High.

"That guy is a tank. It's ridiculous how many key carries he has on average per game without getting busted up. No slouch, either. That could be quite a trio for the Titans."

Henry's body must be due a breakdown soon. He is a battering ram and has been used a lot. It's a rare running back who can keep that workload up without serious injury stepping in.

That said- it's on the assumption you were planning to be in Vegas already regardless of the game. Probably not worth a special trip over.

"Raiders games will be incredibly expensive now. They'll have a massive pull for tourists from everywhere and i bet the casinos have loads of season tickets for comps. Best bet is probably going to be to try and get something on the day of the game or leading up to it through resell or a tout. The stadium, I think, is only about a 10 minute walk from the Luxor or Mandalay bay and no doubt there will be loads of free transport going to/from the strip anyway."

"It's mad, isn't it? The Raiders charge a fortune to watch their shite! I'm definitely at the Jets/Atlanta game at Tottenham. Our lot rightly won't allow themselves to lose a home game from their schedule, so this is only the second time they'll have played an ""away""ù game here. Covid permitting, of course."

"Schedule announced, straight on ticketmaster to see how much it will set me back to see my Fins demolish the Raiders in their fancy new home. $350 for a nosebleeder, north of two grand for anything in the lower bowl. Jacksonville at The SpursBowl it is then."

"Yeah i think that's probably true about the rake as well. At the other stadiums the first few rows are covered off so the crowd can see over all the players and staff on the sidelines. I think they'd have to cover the first 20 rows or so at LS so people can see properly. There's definitely a long enough area to accommodate an NFL field, though."

"Not sure about that. If so how does Wembley/Twickenham cope with NFL. That said it's still too small, awful rail routes and no room for a decent tailgate. Went to the Raiders v Bears game in 2019 and was very underwhelmed by the stadium, especially after all the knicker wetting about it."

I see it's only two UK games this year. Both at the second biggest club ground in London (our ground would be so much better for NFL). Dolphins v Jags Jets v Falcons

Ridiculous. I can only think that he will be there is a locker room booster/mascot. Tim Tebow going up against a fired up edge rusher could have sone comedy value I suppose.

"Every defense coach in the AFC South just dusted off Buddy Ryan's old 46-Bear playbook. ""Bring the secondary up to the line, Chuck, take 'em straight through the tight end: it's a free run at the QB..."""
