Aussie Joe

Of course they will “make it work”…. But there are other grounds that would have provided a more suitable experience for the crowd and sport of NFL than a gigantic cricket oval bigger than the baseball stadiums you refer to… I predict there will be considerable criticism about this when the game is played…but they obviously preferred the extra money from the extra 20,000 crowd and from the local State Government ( the same one that reneged on the Commonwealth games ) .. Apparently the deal in Australia is for three games ( to start with )

Everyone says it’s terrible …and that might be the case …but obviously the people that run the League ( the Owners ) are determined to keep building this …my prediction is that by 2040 at the latest all 32 teams will be taking a game internationally every year …that’s 16 games …

For the sake of $4m …I wouldn’t be trading Edwards ( no chance you just cut him - he has value considering Groy got a 5th last year ) ..particularly to promote someone unproven at the position … This is the best OL Josh has had in front of him …keep it together one more year

For cricket and Australian Rules football… Its terrible for sports played on a rectangle shaped field like Rugby League and Soccer….and no doubt NFL….. the crowd will be some distance from the playing area…

Spencer Brown was ordinary in his first two years as well

I actually discussed that Seahawks team last week with another poster …it’s one of the most talented D’s we have seen in recent decades … it wasn’t just the secondary …although that was elite … Here is an article about them …. Not easy to replicate … https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/news/revisiting-the-dominance-of-the-2013-seahawks-defense

a second ? No way !

Sucks … poor guy never had much of a chance due to injuries

Crosby isnt as likely to be traded though 😑

Raiders will get better .. Brady making decisions now instead of Bowl Cut

Ok… but pay him at the end of next season provided he maintains or even improves on his 2024 form …not this off season

Because teams never say one thing and do another right?

Couldn’t agree more …. If they take a DE at pick 30, even if they get lucky and he is elite, its likely he is going to take a year or two to reach his full potential…if he was elite already then he would be going in the top 10… I would give up a first and second for Crosby … even that probably doesn’t do it though ….

Thanks to the OP for all this work …. Much appreciated… Im a little low on the Bills first round pick … but it’s still early in the process 👍

I knew you were too smart to compare Taron & Milano with Kelce Mahomes and Jones

Taron is wearing down with injuries as well… although not as serious as Milano’s… Milano looked a bit better on the playoff run … I think he might only have 12 months left though ….. I hope they have a plan for Dorian to take over … but sometimes he still looks very green The difference is that those three players are future hall of famers

Yes they were… unfortunately their best years are now behind them

Bend but don’t break Don’t give up the big play and make them drive the field play lighter quicker guys in the front 7 ….

Some of the D stats make for grim reading … We know that they have put considerable resources into the D as well and can’t seem to find the answers Back to the drawing board I guess ..

National Rugby League starts March 1 …fills the gap nicely …

Probably… unfortunately the AFC Championship game will still be in Arrowhead

The Texans DL put Mahomes under a lot of pressure 2 weeks ago …the most I have seen anyone do to him in a couple of years …Unfortunately they left Kelce open all day I would like to see the Bills aspire to something similar to the Texans … but they seem to prefer a different style of play for their DL

This stat is so bad …although they struggled all season to get stops and get off the field so not a surprise … They were able to hide this to some extent given the amount of turnovers they got … but I thought getting those out of Mahomes was going to be difficult ….happy they got the one actually ..

Fair enough … I expect the Chiefs to win ….again… The Eagles looked good beating up on the Commanders last week…but I thought they were there to be had against the Rams the week before ..

Why not? They are the favourites and have the better QB and HC …. And we know they will have a plan for Saquon…
