2014-2015 NFL Season Thread
Ah, this reminds me of Alucard :-(, he started the thread last year and was a huge NFL fan. May he R.I.P.
Well, the season kicks off Thursday with Pack @ Seahawks. This should be a great one, really looking forward to it.
I love clubbing when NFL is on. I mean really, what's better than strippers, football and beer? :-)
Story lines for this season:
-Will Nick Foles continue to play well for the Eagles?
- Will the Seahawks repeat?
- Will the Broncos make it back to the Super Bowl?
- Will the Patriots, who have been in the last 3 AFC title games, finally breakthrough and make another Super Bowl appearance?
Tune in to find out!

The bigger question for many is when will Dallas get an NFL team?
- Will the Vikings find a Quarterback this year?
No. And Adrian Peterson can't go on forever. Our friend GoVikings might be in for a long season.
@Clubber-Haha
LA has USC and the USC Song Girls.
The real question is, how many Raiders and Eagles fans will go to jail before the halftime of every game.
There are just too many Romo jokes to even list here
Don't be redundant.
my fave Romo joke : "Breaking news: Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo got in a barroom brawl in Baltimore last night and when he threw a punch it got intercepted."
IMO – yes – Philly is more about the head coach and the system – so everyone (players/Foles & coaching staff) having one more season; and one more complete off-season; under their belt; means they are only going to be better IMO.
“… Will the Seahawks repeat …â€
They have a good chance IMO – again – it’s about the system there and that tremendous dominating defense – but the 49ers are a very good team and extremely well coached – they can def knock off the Seahawks.
I don't think there defense will be as good as it has been especially with Aldon Smith continually fucking up. Kaepernick is overrated he makes some great plays but his mental game isn't on the level yet.
Patriots lost. To the Dolphins.
That'll hold me till the end of the season.
As long as Jerry Jones wants to call the shots; the Cowboys will be an ongoing mediocre soap opera.
Yeah – I was surprised – but they do have Norv Turner as offensive coordinator and he has always been a great offensive coordinator but not a very good head coach – so maybe he is an “X factor”
+ KC did not look good after their very good season last year
+ Minnesota over St Louis – I think Jeff Fisher is a great coach and Minnesota had been very inconsistent over the last couple of years
+ Miami over New England – I think NE is depleted talent wise and has not really invested in their talent pool thinking Brady can overcome all – I think it’s starting to catch up w/ them and they may not be the NE of old this year
I'm a big believer in Romo. To me, he's not the reason Dallas has been so mediocre over the last several years. Sure, he had a terrible game yesterday, but it was against the 9ers defense. The 9ers make a lot of QB's look bad.
The Vikings did well. But I couldn't tell whether the Rams were just that bad offensively or whether we had a good defensive game. That's why I can't wait until next week when we face the Patriots. We'll find out a lot once that game concludes
Everyone said the Patriots would be the best or second best team in the AFC, but what they don't realize is Brady is on the decline, it started last year and it reared it's ugly head again against the Dolphins.
Seahawks are gonna repeat, there is no doubt in my mind about that. They won last year without Harvin, and you all see what a weapon Harvin is gonna be this year.
Look at how many teams in NFL history have won back to back Superbowls
That will tell you all you need to know
I don't know about repeating its way to early to tell, they looked good but its September. Anyone who watches football knows its the team that is playing the best at the end of the year who has the best shot, ie, giants, ravens etc.
Today the Vikings actually surprised me. I thought we we're going to get blown the fuck out. I know it's only been three games, but our defense, compared to last year, looks a lot better.
Bridgewater did really good for his first game. He came in and gave our offense a boost. We just didn't get anything from our run game. Never thought I'd be saying that.
I tried the NFL package many years ago when it first came out. I found it almost useless. First off little interest in most games other than a score update. And the few I was interested in, always seemed to just miss "the" play. Also, difficult to keep focus with 3 or 4 games going on. The other big thing, since I was at JRS many Sundays, I couldn't even use it. Just my opinion.
I can agree with the out of town team thing, but that was never a concern for me. And as for betting, once you bet, watching will never change your result, but can always piss you off.
@ime- Having NFL Sunday Ticket probably is healthier than going to bars and eating what they have on their menu. But I don't know if its cheaper, all depends on what you order each week
Another reason I prefer going to the bar over having NFL Sunday Ticket and watching at home...is because when you go to the same bar every week...you meet other cool ppl who root for the same team you do.
I will say this though. One plus to having NFL Subday Ticket at home is that you can actually hear the game. At a bar you can't hear it unless they have your game on the main TV
Rodgers puts together very impressive game winning TD drive for Pack.
We get a game that ended in a tie between the Panthers and Bengals
It's early, but Rivers is MVP at this point.
Sunday Night game about to start!!!
What games yall bout to watch?
I got Atlanta v Baltimore for the early game as the main one. Then KC vs SD as the afternoon game as the ones I am most interested in.
Sadly, I expect to be disappointed.
Our offense was just too shitty. Defense eventually gets tired because they're on the field alllll game long.
Now I really can watch football all day!
The Vikings usually aren't too good on the road, but I think they'll pull out the win today. We're due for a win and Tampa is pretty bad defensively.
I wonder why? Not black enough? Oh, wait, that's Russell Wilson
And of course the NFL South will send a 7-9 team to the playoffs.
The Dolphins also won with a come from behind win that has my wife floating on air. Only bad thing is that my Steelers win bounced the Fish from any playoff hopes.
Some dolphins are fish, but the bottle nosed one is a mammal.
;-D
Mostly it's other customers who react, but I once got one of the wait staff to very nastily tell me that "We *don't* serve that here, sir!" At which point I pointed to it on the menu.
Mahi-mahi. :)
Don't recall any locals using Fish, but that doesn't mean they don't. Just one of those things in life that twist my britches a bit.
Might be an analogy, calling the Colts the Donkeys. Same domain, but not the same.
They probably got a bit lucky on a few calls but it was Detroit’s game to lose based on the first half.
