NFL 2017 Season

[tripplej]

I didn't see any thread on the NFL 2017 Season so thought to bring it up since training camp is starting.

See attachment for the full 2017 schedule..

Anything interesting from training camps? Things you are surprised or not surprised or due to injuries you think your team will be in trouble or ???

Lets go Seahawks!

 

[tripplej]

I am going for the Texans. My main concern is the QB -- Tom Savage..

 

[Sonnie Parker]

I am looking forward to seeing what will happen with Dallas and Dak Prescott. I am hoping my SEC boy can bring them back for another shot at the Super Bowl this year.

Of course it will be interesting to see what the Patriots can do... perhaps still the best team in NFL again this year.

 

[tripplej]

It will be very difficult to beat the Pats that is for sure as usual.

 

[JBrax]

Lets go Chiefs!!

 

[tripplej]

per sbnation, Cowboys just got handed their 16th suspension in 4 seasons

"Dallas Morning News tallied all the suspensions in the NFL over the last four years and the Cowboys lead the way by a huge margin. The two-game ban for Moore is the team’s 16th suspension since 2014, with 102 total games lost. The Cleveland Browns are second in suspensions with 10 and the Baltimore Ravens have the second most games lost with 55."

I guess Cowboys like troubled players??

There is a lot of talk about the Ravens getting Colin Kaepernick.

What do you guys think? Should the Ravens get him?

 

[tripplej]

Hall of Fame game is on today. Dallas Cowboys vs Arizona Cardinals.

Are you ready for some football???

There is a lot of talk about the Ravens getting Colin Kaepernick.

What do you guys think? Should the Ravens get him?

Better them than us.

 

[tripplej]

lol.. I guess Kaepernick is one hot potato that nobody wants to handle.

 

[JBrax]

I'm ready for some football! I love this time of year because us sports fans have lots of good stuff to watch. Baseball, football, and college basketball is right around the corner.

 

[tripplej]

I have one buddy of mine who is into sports 24/7 and he has a setup similar (just not as fancy) like the below picture. Nobody else I know have multiple TV screens in one room all on at the same time.

Anybody here have this similar setup?

Not my buddy's TV setup but close.. (just to give you guys an idea).

In NFL news, bad news for the Dolphins.

from espn,

"The Miami Dolphins now fear that quarterback Ryan Tannehill will need season-ending knee surgery"

Backup QB Matt Moore will presumably step up in Tannehill’s absence.

[tripplej]

oh man, that is bad news for the Texans..

from nfl,

"Wide receiver Will Fuller, the team's 2016 first-round pick, broke his collarbone during practice"

The Texans will now shift their focus to project receiver Braxton Miller.

======

Injuries will derail this team that is for sure.

 

[JBrax]

Yep, he was pretty good for a rookie last year. That's a big loss for the offense.

 

[tripplej]

I agree, we shall see if Miller is up to the challenge.

2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame class

 

[tripplej]

Dolphins agree to one-year, $10M deal with QB Jay Cutler according to espn

Any thoughts?

Hard Knocks: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Trailer (HBO)

Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers debuts Aug. 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Sonnie Parker... I can't believe you typed "Cowboys"!!!!

 

[tripplej]

NFL has it's highest paid running back now..

 

[JBrax]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/kan.24...ick-raves-about-Patrick-Mahomes-105943483/AmpThe debut of the next great QB is tomorrow night! Patrick Mahomes ladies and gentlemen. The coaching staff is trying to temper expectations but word on the street is Andy Reid is gushing over the kid. We KC fans thought Reid favored Deshaun Watson but it appears now that was all a smokescreen.

Texans first pre-season game started and they lost to the Panthers. However, even with 2 inexperienced QBs, (Savage and Watson), they were able to lead 3 scoring drives in the first 3 quarters. Veterans Alfred Blue and Akeem Hunt and rookie D'Onta Foreman contributed to two touchdown drives and one field-goal drive.
