Pre-Season 2014 Week 1

[PolishRifle]

Let's comment on all of those non-Raven pre-season games in here.

[PolishRifle]

Not gonna lie. Can't wait to see Sammy Watkins in action. A little more than 1 hour to go. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

[PolishRifle]

1 more hour to go. Oh man, oh man, oh man.

 

YES! YES! YES!

 

So who's all making the trip to Canton in 2017 when Ray Ray goes in? I read on PFT Packers fans have already booked hotels in Canton for August 2016 for Favre's HOF Induction.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

YES! YES! YES!

Didn't know you could book hotels that far in advance

 

So ready for this NFL season to start!

[PolishRifle]

YES! YES! YES!

Always felt Ken Anderson should've made the HoF a long time ago. Who knows? Now that they made a punter a HoFer, everything seems possible.

Me either, and I tried to see if I could book a hotel for August 2017 and nothing lol. Guess it would be easier for 2016 and why Packers fans are able to do so.

 

This may be preseason but it's football. Let's hope all 32 teams are able to make it through the preseason without a devastating injury since TC has already took some victims.

Has anyone heard how long the starters will play? Be interesting to see if Eli can rebound with a new OC and how long he'll get to show last season was a fluke.

Probably like always, one quarter. 

 

Lol, NFL Network showing that Norwood kick over and over again. Norwood, the original Cundiff.

Seems like the starters normally play the same number of quarters as the number of the preseason game.  Preseason game 1, 1 quarter; preseason game 2, 2 quarters, etc.  Except for the 4th preseason game of course, where they pretty much play zero.

The HoF Game is different.  Usually they do a max of 2 drives, but Miami went into the 2nd quarter last year I think.

[Inqui]

YES! YES! YES!

I could be very keen, and hopefully the Ravens would be playing that week too.

 

Watch this space I guess. I'd be all for a forum meet-up in Canton. I've been getting ideas from Newcastle and West Ham touring NZ.

 

Back on topic, wish I could be watching the game today. Nice to have these threads back again too.

[JO_75]

Watching NFL Network talking about the refs will enforce the rules more in terms of defensive holding and PI after the Seahawks were aggressive last season. Makes me sick, if receivers can't handle an aggressive defense, some holding by a defense, then they shouldn't be trying to catch the ball. If they don't want to be touched, just be quarterbacks.

 

Figures, Seahawks bring back defense and the league turns around and wants to throw more flags to ruin the game some more.

 

Oh how right Mark Cuban is starting to be.

[JO_75]

It's time!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Football is officially back!

[PolishRifle]

It's happening.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Oh, Cris Collinsworth, how I have not missed that face.  Or voice.  Or really anything about you.

[ludy51]

HERE WE GO

[JO_75]

Oh, Cris Collinsworth, how I have not missed that face.  Or voice.  Or really anything about you.

 

You would also think if he watched any of the Giants last season, he would know Eli's problem was the amount of interceptions he threw not how low his completion percentage was.

[PolishRifle]

HERE WE GO

Yeah, all those annoying commercials, that seem to take forever are finally back. GET TO THE FOOTBALL ALREADY!!!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Wireless headsets for refs has been a long time coming.

[ludy51]

Dat preaseason rust

[PolishRifle]

Nice play Corey!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

I hope our offense doesn't 3 and out on its first drive.  The trolls will be here extra early.

[PolishRifle]

Lol, 3 and out on the first drive. Not a good start for the new Giants offense. Nice to see Corey Graham in action, though. 

[ludy51]

Who are yall rooting for?

[ludy51]

I miss corey already

[PolishRifle]

Who are yall rooting for?

 

Couldn't care less, but I want to see Watkins and Corey in action.

[T3hRaven]

They're week at FS, but the Giants secondary should be pretty good.  They could be really good if DRC's season last year wasn't just a flash in the pan.
