With the draft out of the way and the final week of training in full swing, I guess its time to stick a new thread up.

This season will be off to an epic start as Green Bay face the SeaHawks next Thursday (Friday UK) , followed by pretty much everyone else playing on Saturday.

Rule changes will aim to speed up the sport a little bit and clearly make it more tense during those last minute kick opportunities. There is also a massive push to punish unruly behaviour as it is starting to seep into the NCAA and the NFL have admitted that it needs to get it under control.

* Goal uprights have been raised by 5 Metres.
* More replays on fumbles/recoveries
* Clock will continue on a QB sack towards end of game
* Unsportsmanlike conduct cracked down super hard - 15 yard penalties will be raining down on the field until players learn to behave.


So as a Green Bay fan , this season cant possibly be worse than the last!

What are everyone's predictions this year? Whos going to Wembley and how are people choosing to watch this year?
 
Options are generally:

Sky Sports or Gamepass

Sky sports is super limited in that they generally show only 3 games a weekend, so if you want to follow a team and really dont watch UK football - Gamepass works out the best.

That comes in 3 flavours:
£120 gets you all the season for all teams , plus archived wild card, playoffs games etc + redzone
£100 gets you all the above - the wild card and playoffs.
£80 is for following one team only and you dont get redzone or any playoffs.

Quality is decent and its a super reliable service with full download and PVR features.

I can't wait to go see Buccaneers vs Ravens in Tampa when I visit Florida in October, I've been a Ravens fan ever since I lived there back in 1999.

Lucky. im in America for 3 weeks starting this saturday , great time to go see some NFL I thought - NOPE. Literally in the wrong places at the wrong times for all of the 3 weeks :o
 
RIP Chicago...brilliant first half, then Jay Cutler decided to go all crazy and it was over.
The rise of the Packers hopefully! We needed a win like that after last week.

The officials though were awful, but I feel all the bad calls evened themselves out by the end of the game.

Rodgers pulled a Marino fake spike with 30 seconds left and throws the TD pass with 3 seconds on the clock to take the lead! Brilliant finish!!!

That finish gave me a heart attack....I'm glad for once that McCarthy didn't order his trademark fail run routine and he actually got Rodgers to throw the ball on that last play!

Our defence still needs to work on rush protection, its pretty abysmal at the moment and relying far to much on Rodgers skill as a qb to escape the pocket in tact then the actual defensive line doing there jobs.

Commentators blamed the Packers game on Rodgers injury - which imo is complete BS. Our offense complete unravelled due to the Saints rushing all aspects of the game, we were in complete tatters and the countless delay of games penalties really showed it.

oh well on to the next....

Great game - was fascinating to see the Pats happy to leave 3 men rushing Rodgers and then just cover everyone else with their secondary. I think it was a fair result - that was not the Patriots on a good day but they were ruthless with opportunities and GB just couldn't get a TD. Would be a cracking Superbowl

Our lack of TD was not great given how much we moved the ball. That is something we really need to sort out if we wanna be contenders. Though I noticed Nelson had literally no contact all game, but Cobb was being use more - which might have had something to do with it.
 
A million packer fans hearts dropped over that Rodgers injury. We dont need that again. Looking forward to the playoff game and I have a feeling Nelson is going to be getting the ball a lot....his inactivity over the last few games must all be setting up for some decent strats against the cowboys.

I honestly think GB vs Dallas is a coin flip, it's an undefeated home team against an undefeated road team. I think the Packers will win a close one, but I wouldn't be surprised if that and the Pats game are the two closest divisional games.

If Rodgers isnt 100% and able to move freely in the pocket we lose instantly - No competition.
GB cant expect Tolzein or Flynn to pick up the pieces because McCarthy will instantly switch to all out running in fear of picks.

Were lucky that we have some good players that have really stepped up to the plate this season: Lacy, R. Rodgers, Cobb, Matthews (BEAST!!) that literally exist to make Rodgers look even better.

So many salty cowboy fans! As a packers fan it was all good as far as I'm concerned ;) the ruling was correct and not exactly a big aurprise just people are touchy about it BC of the importance of the game.

Seahawks next - easy mode. :p:p
