Good to see Jay Cutler back in the NFL! He's a marmite player not to everyone's taste but I like him if you've seen his miced up YouTube clips he's actually a funny guy.

Teddy Bridgewater tweeted this: "I can sense God is about to perform another miracle in my life."
When NFL players say stuff like this do they actually believe it or are they just putting stuff like this out because they think that's what people want to hear?
Is God going to make him white aka Michael Jackson? That was a good one [emoji85]Quote:

That's my first look at the overall #2 pick Bears new QB Mitchell Trubisky. Very impressive performance against the Broncos secondary, I think he'll be around for a long time and will probably be the Bears starter.
Compared to Glennon and Sanchez, Trubisky actually has the potential to be a decent starter in Chicago, but John Fox is right - one decent pre-season game isn't going to land him the job.Quote:

Still, it's hard to judge anything on pre-season, as most teams don't play ANY of their starters - some of the players we had out against Jacksonville last night were right at the bottom of their respective depth charts.
I think it was mostly his mechanics and his decision making that looked impressive, stuff that will be the same regardless of who he faces. I do absolutely agree that players can look good artificially in preseason though. .Quote:

The Elliot suspension fallout is getting pretty dirty. Journalists have been getting leaked information about the character of the accuser and the NFL have accused the NFLPA of leaking the information.
The NFL have said this amounts to victim shaming and is one of the reasons many victims don't come forward in the first place.
The players association have responded by accusing the NFL of trying to deflect attention away from the investigation and it's failings on player discipline.
There's a lot of aspects of this situation that make me feel uncomfortable, but I do have to agree with the NFL, the information that is leaking about the accuser is a clear attempt to publicly discredit her and get the public on Elliot's side. Even if she had made it all up, the investigation and the information during the basis of his appeal should be in secret IMHO.
Obviously Elliot's management team see current lucrative sponsorships and future deals going up in smoke [emoji100] no sympathy at all. Hopefully the league upholds the ban to send out a clear message

Would there be this much of a reaction if it wasn't Ezekiel Elliot and less well known player? I doubt it.
The NFLPA statement on the Nfl allegations about the union blackening the name of elliots girlfriend is like something Donald Trump would tweet. The two organisations clearly despise each other.Quote:

Anyone remember the website that tells us what games are on TV in the U.K., including the NCAA games? Surprised looking through the TV schedule that the Michigan v Florida game isn't on BT Sport.
Pretty sure it on the BT Sport ESPN channel :wink:Quote:

yeah, don't get me wrong as hes obviously a very good player but there is no way he's worth that. Aw well just a big cap hit for the Lions.Quote:

Hes not even in the top ten QBs in the league IMO. Crazy, but then again Baltimore made Flacco the highest paid player couple of seasons back and he was the same.Quote:

That was just after Flacco won the Superbowl though so its a little more understandable but I agree with the general point.Quote:

They have a hardcore fan base, and a proud history and deserve a lot better than some of the stuff they've been served up in recent years.
I know they're the source of a lot of jokes/banter, and that they're one of our biggest rivals, but I'd love to see a strong Jets team as part of a much stronger AFC East.
The Jets and Jags are deliberately tanking this season. I'd be pissed if I supported them.
The Jags look OK I thought :dunno: especially on D. The Jets though, who's their go to player? Forte? Chris Ivory? But I can't believe any team would deliberately throw the season. There's not much difference between #1 and #5 pick surely?Quote:

Haven't watched it yet because of the early/late kick off time. Was planning on watching it tonight but forgot the Scotland game was on so will probably just check out the highlights when I get in.

Well pleased with that trade! Jets send DT Sheldon Richardson to Hawks for WR Jermaine Kearse and a 2nd round pick in 2018.
I liked Kearse, local kid undrafted but I think we got the best of that deal.
The asset stripping continues in New Jersey.Quote:

Is that a record?
Since when is it a penalty to spin the ball?
Pick 6 now 10-10
Back to back pick six lol, this is worse than me on madden.
A blocked punt now, college football is back! I just wish they showed that Texas game earlier.
The spinning the ball thing :grr: don't get me started. They are ruining the sport with these nonsense penalties. 15 yards is ridiculous.Quote:

Good game so far, I wonder how Florida would have done without all the suspensions though.
I'm a little surprised Michigan seem to be without a decent QB.
I wish they would cut the length of the game a bit though that took about an hour and a half!
I'm a little worried, not going to lie.
We've looked poor.
A classic game of two halves! Superb shutout in the second half from our D and the offense FINALLY got it going.
In other news, we've (New England) traded Jacoby Brissett to the Colts for Phillip Dorsett (WR, and #1 pick in 2015).
I love football. Even if NC state got beat.

Peyton Manning managed to take them to a superbowl while not being able to throw a pass over 10 yards accurately...
Yeah, I'm aware we have kind of discussed this to death, but it really makes me angry on his behalf. Great article below, which points out that when and if a team does sign him it shouldn't be held up as a symbol of progressive, modern attitudes just because they're doing what is normal behaviour. 34 relative nobodies signed at QB this off-season already remember.Quote:

Yeah I may have mentioned it a couple of times before.... It makes me angry as well, he's by no means elite, but he's certainly better than at least 10 of the starting QBs in the league, even based on last season which was poor by his standards. That playoff run was incredible and he almost won the 49ers a superbowl.Quote:
