2016-2017 NFL Thread

I think either Texans or Patriots. Texans more likely, the Patriots matchup would only be juicy if it was Brady vs. Manning.

Has a better ring to it than Brady vs. Sanchez, butt-fumble rematch.

[Grube]

They aren't gonna have it be the Patriots. Can't let them get stomped in the first game of the season! (I'm heavily assuming they still have Mark Sanchez as their QB and the Patriots get their O-Line under control)

Well the game is in Denver and the game is usually close when in Denver (ignoring the Tebow one). Won't be NE though, they will want to take advantage of the Osweiler hype before it goes away. Plus, I doubt they want a Trevor Siemian vs TJ Yates game later in the season....

[xskarma]

If I had to rank them in order of probability I'd say it goes: Texans > Panthers > Patriots.

Patriots were in the season opener last year AND they can use Pats-Broncos to prop up any weak schedule later in the season, with the Panthers and Texans the public interest in the match up is more of a recent thing and might more easily lose interest when the season is underway and new stories develop.

Frankly, I think they might even choose to use a division rival before the Patriots. Raiders are pretty hot right now and beat the Broncos last year. Might be enough to generate interest.

Also, apparently the Titans have "significant interest" to trade the no. 1 pick. Yeah, right.

Sounds like the typical pre-draft nonsense that teams bandy around to generate interest. I'll believe it when a trade like that is official.

Once more I'm firmly on the "I hope no one signs Hardy" bandwagon.

His lack of remorse last year has evolved into blatant denial it ever happened (what did she do, walk into a lamp post then?)

Between this and him being lockerroom cancer, I think this time, no one touches him.

[THE Bigzoman]

It'll be the raiders.

Who should stay away from Reggie Nelson if they know what's good for them!

A day after facebook retracts its interest to have NFL games streamed on their platform, the NFL announces that 10 TNF games will be streamed on twitter this season. Stating that its for free and without authentication.

I thought you were being sarcastic...

What in the world does Twitter have that can be promoted with streaming NFL games? Makes no sense to me. Seems like Twitter just was willing to put the most money on the table and got the rights, even though they're not the best long term partner the NFL should shoot for.

Well, if Twitter could get people to come over and watch other games on Sunday, people who would not normally it could be worth it.

Though now, we are screwed having to watch all the shitty Thursday night games.

You're a year late on that one.

Clearly they don't. He's expected to sign a two year deal pending a physical.

And here I thought the Oakland Raiders only existed to do the Bengals favors.


Welp, goodbye Reggie. You'll go down as one of the best safeties in stripes.

You mean Darren Sharper?



You know, cause stripes, like a prison uniform?

I'll see myself out.

*bangs some pots and pans together* Yeah shoo! Ugh still not sure how I feel about being glad to have Sharper on the Saints during out Super Bowl season.

You owe us after that Palmer debacle. Enjoy Pacman next season.

If I could like a forum post a million times, I would for that comment.

I think it will be Houston vs Denver. That QB thing is fantastic.

Yeah, that case is going to last about to the point where an actual lawyer has to start getting paid, and then you won't hear anything about it ever again. Filed firmly under "Shit Pats fans say".

[Northern Goblin]

Reggie Nelson to the Raiders is confirmed. 2 year deal $ details yet to be released.

[Buckeyenut88]

I'm ready for the draft. Would love for the Cowboys to draft Ezekiel Elliott. He can pick up the blitz , pass catch and would be a monster behind their o-line. Though I have a feeling they will go with Joey Bosa or Jalen Ramsey.

If he played anything other than running back, he would be the #1 pick. If Romo does not let a leaf touch his collarbone to break it, that offense with Zeke would be crazy.
