The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Oh well, at least the Packers have beaten the Bears. Sunday not a total loss sports wise

[cdbearsfan]

We didn't lose as badly as I expected!

Not expecting anything this year from Da Bears, just hope we can improve sufficiently that I have a bit of hope for 2016... or do so badly that we have a decent draft pick.

No doubt we'll end up a boring 6-10/7-9 type team.

I'm watching Sky's highlight show. They're using radio commentaries over the video.

Takes me back to the very early 80s when I'd listen to games on US Armed Forces radio

Avoided this thread as I was worried someone would say what the scores were before I'd watched the games.

Minnesota's O-Line was very shaky, gives me hope that Da Bears can beat them this season. I think Bridgewater showed quite a lot of poise considering how little time he had. San Fran won, Hyde did very well, Hayne's debut wasn't as spectacular as he would have hoped.

Falcons showing signs of improving as well, they still have some good receivers. Ryan looked dodgy at times though.

Or just like being the opposing team at Gillette Stadium.

Romo out for 8-10 weeks with a broken collar bone

Joins Dez Bryant (out 6-8 weeks with a broken foot) on the sidelines

Chancellor's holdout has ended, he'll probably play against Da Bears, just to add to our problems.

Our top 4 Wide Receivers could be out, best Linebacker is out (along with another one). Cutler and Forte may not make it and our second best OL is out.

We were going to get slaughtered anyway, it could be really embarrassing now.

I a going to the Lions @ Chiefs game. Tickets arrived yesterday.

Happy to be 28-17 up without those two. Keep running the ball, keep it simple for Weeden. Nice management by Jason Garrett so far....wonder if he fancies a job in the Premier League?!

Big Ben out for several weeks.........not good for the Steelers or my fantasy team.
