NFL 2019

Onside kick alternative? I would prefer they go back to the old kickoff rules during the last 5 minutes of the game.

Arizona is the new Cleveland of 3-4 years ago.
I was praying Larry Fitzgerald would go to a winner, I can really see him
fitting in at New England, Brady would love it. But I am glad also that Larry
stays with the team that has been so good to him, he's pure class.

It's all about leadership in the locker room with him, and he's not 'it'.

I still think Brady and Belicheck will exit at the same time, allowing the next head coach (Josh McDaniels)
to rebuild the team the way he wants to.
And I am not 100% convinced Gronk will stay retired, we will see...

 

Mara's the last person that should compare anything to Arena Football. He can't even decide when it's time to get a new QB, let alone the rest of the circus that's gone on up there.

 

Packers at Bears to start off the season . . . 100 years of NFL. Curly Lambeau vs. George Halas.

No. Brady already said there is zero chance he retires this year.

 

He looked like he was 75 years old out there. Mentally he is still capable but his body quit on him.

 

He wasn't saying that in 2009 when that all star crew stole the NFC Champ game from the Vikings and gift wrapped it to his Saints.

 

I agree with that completely, and predict it will happen after the 2020 season.

 

when do schedules come out? I've got two road trips planned. With my luck, Miami in early September and Green Bay at Christmas. PLEASE let it be the other way 'round.

Told you these guys rushed to get this league up before the XFL.

 

How bloody predictable was this?

 

Too bad with the AAF. Orlando is legit and Manziel is bringing some excitement.

 

After a season in which he came back from being diagnosed with cancer, Andre Hal has announced his retirement. Apparently not health related. I'm shocked because was a positive on the team last season.

Andre Hal stepped away because he lost the passion for football after his father passed. Maybe he just needs some time away to find the love again.

I'm pretty sure he did. He seems to be a level headed guy. And if I remember correctly his dad died his first week back. Somewhere close to that. So that had to be even tougher for him.

Wow

 

The NFL has declared certain models of older helmets illegal for 2019, including the one Tom Brady has worn for years. Good for the league to promote safer equipment, but how well will the affected players adapt to new helmets?

 

Lol
