3 more months until season starts up.
I guess we can kick this off by talking favorite teams and how long you have been fans of said team.
I'm a big time 49ers fan back from the days of Steve Young as a QB.
My secondary team is the Bills. I started to become a Bill Mafia member back when Jim Kelly was QB. I don't like any other team. I despised the Patriots and Buccaneers but mostly because of Brady.
The Giants vs. Jets game was pretty decent last night.
I don't like either of those two NY teams so I didn't care much but I did want to see Mr. Waffles Rodgers as QB for the Jets and see how he would do.
Jets might have a decent run this season.
My team the 49ers lost their last game and I haven't seen any preseason games of the Bills. Those are my two teams.
I was thinking about starting up a Fantasy Football league but I don't know how much interest we have and I can't run it/start it up myself. Someone else would have to take the lead.
We're one day away from the season opener! Who's ready for some football?!
Which teams are you following? Who's got some predictions for the season? I'll give you mine below, so that when the season ends, everyone can point and laugh at how much of an idiot I was:
AFC
1. Chiefs; 2. Bengals; 3. Jets; 4. Jaguars; 5. Bills; 6. Ravens; 7. Chargers.
Wild card: Chargers over Bengals, Ravens over Jets, Jaguars over Bills.
Divisional: Chiefs over Chargers, Jaguars over Ravens.
Conference championship: Chiefs over Jaguars.
NFC
1. 49ers; 2. Eagles; 3. Cowboys; 4. Packers; 5. Seahawks; 6. Lions; 7. Panthers.
Wild card: Eagles over Panthers, Cowboys over Lions, Seahawks over Packers.
Divisional: 49ers over Seahawks; Eagles over Cowboys.
Conference championship: 49ers over Eagles.
Super Bowl: Chiefs over 49ers (unless Darnold is starting).
So many storylines this season:
Will Jordan Love rise to the occasion for the Packers?
Can the Bills finally put it all together, or has their window closed?
Can the Chargers somehow mitigate injury and make something happen in the playoffs?
Can the Chiefs be the first to go back to back since the Patriots in the early 2000s?
How will Mr. Waffles Rodgers look with the Jets?
Will Sean Payton be able to save Russel Wilson and the Denver Broncos, or is Russ cooked?
Will Jimmy G be able to stun his AFC west rivals with his awe-inspiring handsomeness and make a surprise playoff appearance?
How will well-known respecter-of-women Deshaun Watson look in his first full season since 2020?
Was Jalen Hurts incredible play last year something that can be sustained, or will he regress to the mean?
Will the Cowboys once again lose in the playoffs in absolute hilarious fashion?
Let's talk about it.

Ah shit, I missed DJ's 'The Longest Yard' thread before I posted this. Mods, feel free to merge. Sorry about that.
Betting on football games was a thrill but I don't want to lose any money but just watching the games will be fun this year. I want the Bears to do well this year. Going to want the Jets to win too.
How bout those Jets? And how bout Josh Allen? :laughing: :laughing:
The Giants vs Cardinals game over the weekend was so awesome. What a comeback! I'm not even a Giants fan but that's great football.
@SGR Yeah this is the official football thread. I had this weird idea to make each sports thread named after movies which incorporated the sports.
So I get that it didn't immediately stand out as being a NFL thread.
there are two nfl threads, :-X
My Bills are 2-1 in the season so far. Doing well.
My Niners are 3-0 which is to be expected.
I think it's kind of funny how almost all NY sports teams are ass this year so far with Bills being the exception.
Threads merged x
The Chicago Bears have lost a franchise record 14 straight games :-\
I'm sad about my Niners losing their last two games. It was incredibly close both times. Lost the first one because the kicker choked. MNF loss against the Vikings got intercepted near the end where they could've possibly been close enough to get a touchdown before the end of the game.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott apologizes for citing 9/11 attackers as an example of teamwork (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bills-coach-sean-mcdermott-apologizes-911-attackers-teamwork-speech-rcna128683)QuoteBuffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott was on the defensive Thursday after it emerged that he used the Sept. 11 terrorist attack as an example of good teamwork in a speech to his players.
In an attempt to emphasize the importance of togetherness, he cited the 9/11 hijackers — who killed nearly 3,000 people in the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil — as an occasion where everyone was "on the same page."
The remarks were made during a team meeting four years ago, but were not reported until Thursday.
Idiotic choice for an analogy but I wonder about the timing of this being revealed now, after being ignored/buried for four years.
Just got tickets to the Niners v Ravens home game Xmas day :D
Last year I watched them beat the Commanders on Xmas Eve - it's officially a tradition.

Sorry about your Niners lol. The Ravens have been on a fucking tear lately.
I've watched the Ravens for all of Lamar's time in Baltimore, and they're usually regular season juggernauts and a quick playoff exit. I want to see them duplicate what they've been doing in the playoffs before I'm convinced they're the real deal. And if I don't get to see the Flacco-led Browns take on the Ravens in a playoff game, I will riot.
Way the Chiefs have been playing, I'd be happy if they can win just one playoff game.
This season has gone by so damn fast, wow!

It's the football gods having a laugh at Buffalo's expense, given that they lost Super Bowl XXV on a wide right FG attempt - Scott Norwood. "Wide Right" is practically considered an obscenity in Buffalo.
I'd like Lions v. Chiefs, but the Chiefs are going to have to do everything right, and have a little luck go their way against the Ravens.
FUCK
FUCK FUCK

No shot. Superbowl will be 49ers vs Chiefs.
I wanted Bills to win though gah.
I expect the Ravens will whoop the chiefs tbh
I expect Ravens v Niners. Which does not bode well for us, but you didn't hear me say that. Fucking hope Samuel is ok.

It's not too late for that Super Bowl 54 rematch we talked about. :checkmark:
But to your point, Baltimore is gonna be a tougher out than Buffalo. Chiefs would have to make basically no mistakes if they want to keep up.
HOW BOUT THOSE CHIEFS?!
so
@degrassi.knoll, are your Niners gonna be able to make the date for the rematch? :laughing:
watched the first game but left my parents and I don't have YouTube TV anymore.
that fumble into the endzone by the Ravens sealed the win for the Chiefs.
I was wanting to see the Ravens come back and win but the Chiefs winning is cool too.
go Taylor Swift!

Per the blackness, we'll still have Usher at halftime. :laughing:

Who's ready to make their Super Bowl prediction/pick?
You know what it is

Im waiting for Fanduel to offer $1000 in free bets if you place a $5 bet. They offered $1000, then $2000, then $4000 in free bets going into last year's Superbowl. Right now it's at $200 but the closer it gets to game time they offer more. I want Taylor Swift's team to win.

I think it's funny how butthurt other fans are acting about it being Chiefs/Niners again. News flash - the best teams make the Super Bowl. You don't like it? Tell your team to play better.

Damn, hope you feel better soon Steph. This game probably doesn't help.
Second time a Super Bowl went into OT - first time was Falcons/Patriots - the infamous 28-3 game.
That being said, HOW BOUT THOSE CHIEFS? DYNASTY BABY!

I think it's wonderful for the Chiefs and for the NFL as a whole. And I hope Taylor continues to attend every single Chiefs game until Travis retires. If it takes George Soros money and a pop superstar to dethrone that dirty cheating dink-and-dunk bastard Tom Brady and his alumni group of spies and football deflators, then I hope the Chiefs become the wokest institution in professional sports history.

Also, praise be to your Giants for keeping him from having 8 or 9 rings. Eli Manning is one of my personal heroes.
I'm still recovering from the excitement of Super Bowl 58. These videos help (or maybe they don't?)

From the sounds of it, it sounds like he will be getting fined. Rodgers comes off as so aloof and pretentious, I don't know how young players relate to him. Maybe he's different in person.
