The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Everyone else in NFC North 1-0
Bears 0-1.

Already get the suspicion it will be a long season.

Great win for the Raiders on the road at Norlyons. Score a touchdown with 47 seconds to go. The PAT would tie the game but they go for a two point conversion and make it

Yep, it was a brave call.

Quite a number of matches were decided by a last second field goal attempt.

Steelers pounded the Redskins last night.   Antonio Brown is ridiculous.  Anyone who has him in their fantasy team is a very lucky person.

Don't have him as I didn't have the no. 1 pick, but I did have DeAngelo Williams and he got me nearly 30 points :-D

He will do you well for the first three games until Leveon Bell returns!   Honestly, the Steelers should be able to outscore anyone this season, which is a good thing as their defence is not what it should be.

Yes, will have to decide whether to keep him once Bell's suspension is up. Already had to trade Keenan Allen, who looks to be done for the season again.

Steelers have the strongest trio of QB-RB-WR in the NFL, but as you say their Defence isn't great.

RGIII is on Injured Reserve, another long season for the Browns....

I would keep him.  I think the Steelers will still use him, especially in short yardage situations.

Worth adding that my Giants @ Rams Twickenham tickets arrived on Monday.

Cleveland had the second pick in the draft, so could potentially have taken Carson Wentz but decided to sign RGIII as a free agent and trade down in the draft

Yes but they have not got 25 Wide Receivers instead of a QB and one of them is bound to end up being good.

I think they must have decided that they always pick rubbish QBs, so they'd stop picking them.

Good news for Colour Blind NFL fans. This season only 1 team will wear Colour Rush uniforms in matchups, meaning that colour blind people will be able to distinguish between the 2 teams.

Watched highlights of the Packers - Vikings game; quite exciting.

Adrian Peterson has an injury, which had me scrambling to see when we play them next.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Bit worrying that the Patriots are steamrolling their opponents even without Tom Brady (or even Garropolo) at QB.

Still, I've taken a dislike to Brock Osweiler crying off from the Broncos like he did, so it was nice to see him lose.

Pats offensive line looks so much better than last year, and have improved defending the run too. Still think Denver are the team to beat in the AFC though...
