I'm forever going to assume it's Tavaris Jackson.



Definitely not. Especially since he pulled a gun on his girlfriend during the he off season.

It's Boykin.

We also always struggle against the Rams for some reason. I expect us to be very run heavy.

The BBC have a catch up show, coming up on BBC2 at 23:45, this is news to me.

What did you make of it? I'm glad it's available to people without Sky and who aren't interested enough to get the Game Pass, and fair play to Chapman as he seems to be fairly knowledgeable. Not sure they had to have half time analysis (especially when they looked at players who then did more or had nightmares in the second half) and they only showed very brief highlights from one or two other tight games.

I missed it:lol:

I might look it up on iPlayer.

Giants-Redskins ahead of Broncos-Bengals and Vikings-Panthers is daft imo.

 

Could be worse.  Tradition dictates Redskins should be on this week too, but 3 live games in 3 weeks would be taking the piss.

 

Personally I'd rather not have most of the UK fan base watching the Skins surrender at Met Life without a fight.

Las Vegas approve plans to fund $750 million dollars of public money towards building a £1.9 billion stadium for the Raiders, and now just need approval from the state legislature.

Agreed on both points. I don't even know who the Seahawks' back up QB is! #armchairgloryhunter

Wilson practiced in full without any issues yesterday so I wouldnt be worried. It will be a tougher game than youd expect after week 1 though. That Rams defence is still nasty AF

Redzone also on Sky Sports Mix this month. They were also showing hr long highlights of the three live Sky Sports game last Monday, hopefully that continues throughout the season.

Can't make my mind up whether that's a good thing or a bad thing

For Mark Davis, the owner it's a great thing, he basically pays 1 third of it, whilst LV and a Casino Magnate pay the rest. For tourists it would be pretty quality and like the Orlando Magic basketball team it would be cool and Vegas is a large enough area that doesn't have a properly team. It would fit the Raider identity to be a badass team in the desert. They'll play in a stadium that doesn't leak sewage or have a baseball diamond and will have corporate stuff which is the big earner. As a tourist going to Vegas and watching NHL/ Boxing/UFC on the Saturday and then watching the Raiders on Sunday has a big appeal for sure. 

The downsides will be that it will be like the Cowboys stadium and half the ground will be opposition fans and they'll move a team out of it's home once again but the Raiders  fans seem more resigned to it compared to other teams and Oakland aren't gonna pay up as Mark Davis is a millionaire in a billionaires league and can't afford a shiny stadium with all the bells and whisltles.

All 4 CBs for the Colts are injured!  Robinson and Davis are out and Cromartie and Butler are questionable.  I would guess that we will be seeing a lots of deep throws from the Broncos on Sunday!

Could be a long night for Colt fans.

Even if the Davis family had enough money to fund it, they wouldn't stay in Oakland anyway. The team would have been in LA ages ago if they had the $. It's shit on the Raiders fans from the Bay as they've got a city who can't afford to keep them and an owner who can't afford to keep them and basically wants out anyway - essentially Oakland was never getting to keep both its teams and get a new stadium unless some rich benefactor with ties to the area came in, and the chances of that happening were incredibly low, as even if one appeared willing to put some money in, they'd have to cut a good deal for Mark Davis (ie. a bad one for themselves) in terms of percentages of ownership anyway.

Vegas seems like the only option at this point, although there's always the chance the Chargers don't take up the offer for LA, which could open it up for the Raiders again. But I think if Mark Davis is given the chance of 2nd fiddle to the Rams in LA or his own state-of-the-art stadium in Vegas, he's moving to Nevada.
