2019 NFL Season Thread

After the NFL ruled against Antonio Brown on his ridiculous helmet challenge I'm sure the Raiders, and Jon Gruden, thought that was the end of it.

But wait! There's more!

AB is still refusing to participate in training camp. He's, as y'all say, mental!

This is the hubris of Gruden on full display. The Steelers decided to cut loose one of the best WR's in the NFL for a song and he thought "hmmm, I can handle him. I'm Jon Gruden!"

It may still work out, and AB may perform at a high level this year, but in the end when it's all said and done he's a locker room cancer. And cancer is never a good thing.

As soon as the talk of him losing his contract flies about he will be back toeing the line.
 
Imagine if he wears the new helmet though and then gets a concussion, hooo boy would he be after the NFL :p

This reminds of a story. I was sitting at a local bar about a year ago and there was some out of town blowhard sitting next to me. You know the type, overweight, bald "ladies man". He starts to chat me up and the conversation gets around to football. He then tells me that there is a company in Calif. that has developed a helmet that will prevent 100% of all concussions and the NFL is trying to bury them. So I ask him if he knows what causes a concussion and he mumbles something. I said no, concussions are caused by the brain being slammed into the skull... how does any helmet prevent that? He becomes very sullen and decides to go back to trying to impress the bartender. :D

Could that have been David Tepper?

There's always one like that :p
 
So in my fantasy league you get to keep 3 players each year, of a different position. I have Luck, Lamar Miller and JuJu...

My season went down the toilet overnight...

What's possibly worse, I have to find two new keepers. I might get lucky drafting a rookie, or I have to trade away anything decent I get for one worthwhile keeper.

I saw this this morning and immediacy thought of no1newts... sorry mate!
 
Anyone else got any teams they want/need sabotaged? Hit me up :D

Eagles, Redskins and Giants... in that order. :D

Was stunned when I heard the news. Totally respect the decision. He could have collected a pay check (a very big pay check) and played at a low level but he chose not to. All the best Mr. Luck!
 
Loads of trade rumours bouncing round the league at the minute, still interesting that Clowney is being touted and apparently a few teams fishing for the Dolphins tackle Tunsil. Even a rumour of Dalton being on the trade block when (let's be honest, it isn't an if) the Bengals drop out of contention as Findlay has been so impressive they want him in the lineup. Could even see the Bengals forcing a tank if it gets really tough this year and trying to salvage value from both Green and Dalton and picking high and often.

Also Allen gives the Jags an edge on the D again, he was touted more as a pass rusher and I know it was pre season but hes been looking hot on the run D as well. If Bosa continues having injury problems could look like another dud Niners D pick especially if Allen slipped past them.
 
HOFer Marshall Faulk who is 'training' Zek says Dak will be a bum after he gets paid.

LOL!

I wonder if the fact that Zek and Marshall share the same agent and that agent has a home in Cabo has anything to do with his comment? :D

I think Zek's camp is getting worried. The only real leverage Zek had was to miss regular season games and hope the 'Boys lost. Now with the emergence of Tony Pollard that leverage is much weaker.
 
Tunsil off to Texans from Dolphins. Feel sorry for Rosen, any chance he had of proving himself had just be unceremoniously lobbed out the window now with their line.

Great addition to Texans and makes them a lot more viable but still think they've lost out on the Clowney trade only getting a third as they've apparently given up a first for for Tunsil and they are an ageing squad...

got to feel for rosen, one of the main requirments for an oline is a tackle to protect a qb's backside and they let tunsil go, didn't they see what happened to watson last season without one ?

texans messed up all ways with this trade roundabout, letting clowney go for a 3rd ???, i know watson needed a left tackle brought in after he got battered so badly last season, but as you say the squad isn't getting any younger and giving away all those picks away to do it..........

I could have understood it if they got a third for Clowney and moved it on for Tunsil, but taking a third and giving away a first is just straight up weird. Genuinely no idea what was going through O'Brien's head in agreeing to the trade as it didn't/wasn't a factor in getting Tunsil.

As I said I think they've made themselves into a win now team without the talent to win now, odd.

Yeah Rosen, I'm pretty certain he isn't a top 10 QB but I firmly believe he could have been an NFL starter but he was in a dumper fire Cards team and was blamed for the problems and now moved to the Dolphins who will possibly be even worse than that Cards team and they'll almost certainly get a new QB in next year's draft (though they now have no Oline to protect that QB either) I can see him being labelled as a backup his career now without ever having a fair chance at proving himself. I said it in the off season I genuinely think the Pats should be after him as a backup and give him 3 years to learn behind Brady before unleashing him, be a shrewd move.
