NFL 2015 season Thread

Houston now looking at Foster returning at the end of September, not the 8 weeks originally forecast, so might be worth looking around your fantasy leagues to see if people haven't been smart enough to pick him up and stash him.

just joined a dynasty league yesterday and today i got offered a trade for him, in exchange williams of pitsburgh and a WR for philly that so far down the list he might not make the final 53
guess i am not that much of a mug when i rejected the trade lol

Ive not seen that much of the 9ers actually, but I'm fully expecting them to be god awful this year. They will definitely be there or there abouts for worst record I think. I reckon the jags are in for a better year this year, am expecting decent things from Robinson and having Thomas in at TE is always a bonus, so someone is going to have to take their place at the bottom!

How have the 49ers looked in preseason?

I noticed they were 14/1 for worst record this season and was slightly tempted. TBH I was looking for a market for them to have the first pcik in next year's draft as they have loads of picks and need to rebuild, but I couldn't find said market.

They still have Hyde and Kaepernick, and a pretty decent O-Line, so I wouldn't be surprised if they win a few games just down to time of possession, not turning the ball over, and not giving the opposition many opportunities to score points. Schedule looks brutal, but still GL being worse than the Browns with McCown starting.

BOLD PREDICTION: Browns go 0-16, Connor Shaw (barring injury) starts Week 17, and neither Manziel or McCown make the Browns' 53 man roster for 2016.

i seen the 2 presason games and thought manziel was showing some great progress

Not seen any of Manziel since the 30-0 loss to the Bengals here. I don't get how they can start a journeyman backup in McCown over him though. Starting McCown is just going to end in McCown getting benched for Manziel after a few mediocre-at-best games with the fans getting on his back every time he fails to make a play on 3rd down, or throws a pick, by which time the Browns will probably be 0-5 or something and the season is already over. Not sure what they achieve by starting McCown, other than getting a decent WR in the draft to replace Josh Gordon with a top 5 pick next year.

Nothing wrong with having McCown on a roster, everything wrong with him starting over Manziel for me. Neither of them are NFL starters IMO, but at least Manziel isn't the epitome of a factory of sadness.

[Ironside]

well manziel wasnt perfect by any stretch of the imagination but he looked reasonable and he is still learning really
his decision making seemed to be much better IMHO

[fatcatstu]

God I forgot about the Browns. Manziel HAS to start, but he has nothing to throw at with Josh Gordon acting like the village idiot all the time.

watch out for rookie danny shelton at nose tackle for the browns

a complete monster

obviously its going to be a tough year for the browns, but the defense looks competitive and the running game/OL very solid. next year they need to draft offensive skill players

Currently taking a look at Garoppolo for the first time this year, one of the most interesting stories of the preseason for me. Came in for the first drive of the 3rd quarter, first play had the RB in the flat for a couple of yards, but tried to force it to the WR and should've been a pick six if the corner didn't drop it. Then nearly threw another pick to the other corner, didn't see if it was on the WR running the wrong route or a mistake from Garoppolo.

Then missed a throw on 4th & 4 (Would've been 53yd FG) to Aaron Dobson, instead threw to Krause on a shallow cross and didn't get the first down.

6/9 for 47 yards at the moment doesn't tell the story at all, so far.

EDIT: Much better since the first drive though.

i havent had a chance to watch dallas yet this preseason are they playing well enough to deserve to be slight favourites in the division over the eagles


i thought the eagles offence looked the real deal last night with bradford at QB

its pre-season it doesn't matter

all about establishing the bottom of the roster

bradford threw 10 throws last night

dallas/philadelphia is going to be a very tight battle

if philly can play at the pace that kelly wants in the regular season and hold up in the secondary then i might have them slight favourites

if dallas can replicate last season's run game behind their fantastic OL then they have a shot at another deep run

As I posted a while ago ITT, I have a sneaking suspicion the eagles underperform this season. Dallas may actually be a bet...
