Dee4Life1893 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) What about our Giants? I reckon we are so inconsistent we could easily go 11-5 or 5-11 I think the NFC East is always the toughest to call. Noone will win more than 11. You can make a case for all the teams.

Stewbo Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What about our Giants? I reckon we are so inconsistent we could easily go 11-5 or 5-11 The state our defense is in I think every game will be a shootout (well other than Raiders, Chargers and Panthers). I think we can manage at least 6 wins out of it but if someone offered 8-8 and stealing 2nd in the division I'd snap that up in a minute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can manage at least 6 wins out of it but if someone offered 8-8 and stealing 2nd in the division I'd snap that up in a minute Our O-Line is a mess aswell. Cordle starting at Center!!!!!! In the secondary Stevie Brown is a massive loss and I don't think either Terell Thomas or Corey Webster are the players the were. I'm not sold on Jayron Hosley either. Antrell Rolle has a foot injury while Tyler Sash looks a special teamer at best. Ryan Mundy could be a busy boy this season. The linebacker corps are gonna be interesting with a bucket load of questions to be answered. Keith Rivers has the ability but can he stay injury free? Has Mark Herzlich got his head screwed on? Is Dan Conner a viable starting Middle linebacker? Jacquian Williams is fast but can he stop the run? Is Spencer Paysinger gonna step up? Can we maybe move Kiawanuka back there or let DaMontre Moore have a few snaps at linebacker? D-Line looks ok. Tuck should hopefully have a good year and I like the 2nd round pick Hankins at DT. JPP could be a worry tho coming off the back surgery with very little practice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPP could be a worry tho coming off the back surgery with very little practice. I'd be quite happy moving Kiwanuka to LB, he's got the skill set to do a decent job there. The secondary is a massive worry, I'm not sure if it's bad luck or overly intense training but I can't remember the last season we had without an injured safety/cornerback. I'm confident Prince can step up this year and make his presence felt, ease a little pressure on everyone else. Rolle is a key player for us so hopefully he recovers quickly from that injury. JPP cant be rushed back, I'd rather miss him and lose another 2 games if it means a complete recovery and a full season next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says he hopeful he ready to go @ Dallas in week 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplistic Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've requested a NFL sub-forum in the suggestions section - I think it would be a really good idea to keep everything together (I'm also going to do a Last Man Standing competition later today) If you agree, jump into the suggestions section and post a reply. People power and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplistic Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Okoye put on injured/reserve list by 49ers. Gives him time to learn the game I guess. Edited as I first read that he'd been cut Edited August 27, 2013 by Simplistic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moredanlife Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Lions have opted for Akers over Rugland as kicker. I'm not surprised but I'm still very anxious about Akers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Bit worried lads. Below is a picture taken from NFLUK and there tv coverage. As you can see currently only Sky have games which means there is no SNF or MNF available in the Uk. Hope something is sorted out soon. If Kirkwood is adamant about bringing a franchise to the UK then surely he must make sure the UK has both the Sunday and Monday night games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplistic Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 lots of chat about it on the NFL UK forum Some believe C4 or working on a contract for both while some think that BT sport have pitched for it. Vernon Kay, Nat Coombs & Mike Carlson have all tweeted that things should be confirmed soon and that it is good news. Vernon posted bout a new job. A dream job. All speculation but with 8 days until the season start they could do with confirming it! I'm holding off getting ESPN player until I know what TE deal is with BT sport if any 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as its not that fake Darren Fletcher guy that done BBC stuff last year, honestly couldnt watch their coverage because of him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 They left it very last last season as well. I'm sure Sky only confirmed there deal on the Friday before the kick off.....so 6 days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm convinced it was later than that.... Iv just remembered the opening game was on a Wednesday because of a Barack Obama speech. So it was possibly only 5 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I hope that whoever picks up SNF has Coombs and Carlson anchoring it. They're excellent. The MNF doesn't fuss me as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplistic Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 the new NFL UK podcast is out tomorrow so you'd think they'd want to release info before then so they can big it up. Need to have one of those conversations with Sky today anyway to add sports and hopefully not pay any more than I do now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSaint Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I hope C4 get both SNF and MNF. Their coverage is far superior to Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
