The NFL thread - 2014/2015.

That's what deterred me. But it was worth picking him, given how far he dropped, before ditching him if the need arose.

 

Think there's some luck in the draft as well as skill - I take my hat off to people who reach way out of the draft order, but I don't tend to deviate from it too much. If Harvin had been there at the right time then I might have taken a chance on him, but I wouldn't have reached for him with his injuries.

Hooray!

Great first week of NFL - not for the bears though! Cutler's stats look decent but his two bad interceptions killed us.

As a Falcons fan, it's going to be a torturous season. Every game is going to be a shoot out because the defence is so bad! However, 1-0 is all that counts at the moment made all that much sweeter that it was against the Saints and Drew Brees.

[Boca]

The Patriots offence was horrific yesterday. Brady put on his ass way too many times by a defence missing all of it's starting LBs, and hurried for most of the game

 

Trading your best OL a week before the season may be a ballsy (cheap) decision too far for BB.

[D.Boon]

Niners coasted it but yet more injuries to defensive starters is going to be costly against better teams. Kaepernick looked sharp and the rookie RB Hyde looks a quality addition.

[Snakebite]

Sigh, my Skins looked terrible. The Griffin III trade is looking worse every day.

As a neutral, it was a great game to watch.

TMZ have released another video of the Ray Rice incident which clearly shows him striking his girlfriend and knocking her out.

 

Never mind a suspension, this guy should be jailed.

Was weird. Remember watching him, and even with my limited knowledge, thinking he had the potential to be electrifying not so long ago but he was dour yesterday.

 

Not holding my breath for a good year for the Texans either. At least I don't have to watch Schaub anymore.

The Ravens have terminated his contract & the NFL have suspended him indefinitely now.

I dont get this, why wait till this video comes out? why not do it when it originally video comes out and he admits to it?

[Snakebite]

never mind.

It's because Goodell is a dick and s*** at his job.

The Ray Rice story is very weird. Just been hearing about it.

 

He's convicted in the civil courts, penalised by the league, repentant and forgiven by his wife and just cos a video comes out he's effectively had his career ended?

 

And then the NFL come out with a very weird sliding scale of punishments depending on the degree of aggravation in a domestic assault case?

 

I guess the FA aren't such hopelessly useless pricks after all.

Multiple domestic violence offending Floyd Mayweather says cut Rice some slack

...and now AP has been indicted for child injury.

Did you read any of the reports? Seriously shocking stuff. He's in serious trouble.

The Vikings have already deactivated him for the game against the Pats.

Report

 

[Leo No.8]

He used a 'switch' to beat his kid with - do people still do that? Isn't it like the 'cane'?

[Ste M]

Unless you're a fan of a NFC North rival, I think I'm safe to say that AP is most neutral's favourite player from another team. Heck, he's my favourite player in the NFL full stop.

 

Why can't people just live their life without being a turd?

 

Part of me has died reading this.

[SkippyjonJones]

pile of f***ing s**** pile of f*** shote teams that I couldn't f***ing draft. f***ing b****x

[Snakebite]

Going to be a busy week on the waiver wire. Its been carnage out there today.

[Jay M]

My NFL Fantasy team is screwed. Unfortunately I'm the one who used the 1st overall pick of the draft on AP.

 

However, CBS one not doing too bad!

 

Falcons back to normal though
