Ladies and gentlemen,
This is IT, the year of the G-Men!

Piped crowd noise, cardboard cut outs in the stands, it doesn't get any better than this!

This is going to be one really strange season.

Still some great games tho! Happy to see the NFL back, hopefully COVID doesn’t blow up again

[jjss49]

we had better reset our benchmarks for what is good, acceptable, not...

covid will be fierce this winter

these games, and nba games, are a gift - we better appreciate them

i guarantee more than a few nfl games will be postponed to cancelled due to covid before the regular season concludes

not happy or hoping to see that happen, just think it is coming

so enjoy it

IF -and this is a HUGE if - the NFL players AND their families can stay highly disciplined throughout the season in limiting their outside contacts and wear masks and frequently wash their hands, they could make it through the season. Unfortunately, a fair percentage of Americans have shown that they can't do it so I was thinking that the season would be cancelled after 4-6 weeks but it looks good this past week so now I give it 6-8 weeks before big names start missing games and a couple more weeks before it's shut down.


I hope I'm wrong.

is it true the visiting teams stayed in their locker room while the National Anthem was played ??  If so, I hope they all lost !!!

This is the age of the internet. Don't just accuse. Find out. Which teams?  Where did you hear this? What were their sources, if any? Maybe they're just spreading unfounded rumors. Don't be part of the problem.

it's 2016 all over again, the NFL lost piles of money from people boycotting games because of the virtue signalling then and now they have big screens celebrating the terrorist organization that is burning and looting cities.

I asked a question , understood ???  you're the one making the accusation (problem) and to my question(which hasn't been answered) if true then I stand by my last sentence

I apologise. These last three and a half years of social upheaval has made me a bit touchy and slightly antagonist.

[twitch54]

I apologise.

no problem, FWIW I was told that Houston and Phila (both visitor) teams did stay in their respective locker rooms while the National Anthem was played and to that I'm glad they both lost !!

I was just wondering if it was some sort of league mandate ?? 

[charmerci]

The league has allowed each team, i.e. the players  decide what they want to do, individually and collectively.

I think that it sure would be nice if we could just stick with talking about the game itself.

[charmerci]

Based on what little I saw....


Cam may not last the whole season running so much. The Ravens and KC will meet in the AFC championship, Aaron Rogers is pissed at his club.... for now, Buffalo looks strong and the NFC east might not be that good... which gives me some hope for my Washington FC.

  Viewership down 20% from last year. Good. A great game ruined by activism. Play ball not anything else. Respect gets respect. No other Anthems no kneeling no protests . Play the dam game.
