I find it hard to get excited by either UCF or Penn State personally.

Anyone else watching the Cowboys @ Cardinals pre-season game just now? Two QB exhibitions on how NOT to pass the football.

Nice to see an undrafted local kid come through. He'll be popular with the fans :aok:

You had me worried there because I am still wondering whether to get college pass or BT sport, I was waiting to see what BT had for week 2 before making a decision.

I'm relying on my good friends at VIP or FirstRow to aid my coverage this year if I'm being honest :greengrin

From what I can tell a 12 month contract with BT is £120 where College pass is £100, With BT you get Scottish football but with College pass I can watch just about any game I want. It just depends of BT's coverage of College football. I was thinking about going down the stream route but the quality and adverts do my head in.

Just install an AdBlocker and the adverts aren't a problem (I've been using one for months now and these streaming sites are excellent without the ads).

The quality can sometimes be a problem but I've watched a lot of football over the past few weeks and it isn't terrible if you get the right feed.

Can you recommend an ad blocker?

I use Chrome and have AdBlock v2.6.4 which is brilliant :aok:

It even blocks all the ads on Facebook, promoted posts/tweets etc.

stayed up to watch a dominant lions D against the patriots last night, reggie Bush showed hes gonna be a big threat while fit and always nice to see a former employee of Belichick showing respect to his old boss by benching a lion for getting in Bradys face, for the patriots Kenbrell Thompkins did his starting prospects no harm with 116 yards on 8 carries.

Seen the score when I just woke up and had to genuinely rub my eyes to make sure I was seeing it correctly!

The Lions being potent on offense during the pre-season is nothing new and they have some decent weapons obviously but for our offense to struggle to get yards/points against normally one of the worst defenses in the league is very worrying indeed...

From reading the report it seems we were at full compliment too. It is only pre-season but it doesn't do anything for my already non-existent expectations.

I noticed everyone on here, except me, was still predicting the Patriots to win their division. I dont see a running game, anyone to catch Bradys passes except a sicknote receiver and some promising rookies, and an unreliable streaky D. Obviously there Is a big gulf at QB but in most other positions I think Miami have the edge in terms of roster talent.
Then again, preseason means nothing :greengrin

I just couldn't bring myself to put it down in black and white in all honesty :greengrin

Miami aren't blessed at receiver, still have Tannehill as QB and are pinning their hopes on a rookie RB with nothing in support...

Nobody's talking much about Buffalo or NY and for good reason...

We looked comfortable enough against the Eagles but Detroit harried us well going on the highlights I seen.

Watched the Packers V Seahawks game from last night, thought it was a pretty even game and happy with the way the Defence dealt with Wilson. Rodgers only had 1 drive as well. A few tasty tackles as well :thumbsup:

Your pass protection seems massively improved with the new additions on the O line. You dominated most aspects of the game but we had the two big plays, the long pass to Williams and Christine Michaels TD run. Im loving our new depth at RB, Michael and Turbo would both start for a few NFL teams.
