    Sadly Woodrum has been cut but we have kept 3 undrafted rookies (Jaylen Hill, Patrick Ricard and Bam Bradley) with the team which is pretty cool.

    So we get rid of Sloter who'd looked good in limited time in pre-season (I know, I know), we bring back sodding Osweiler and get rid of TJ Ward on the same day.

    The only solace is I can take some amusement from the fact that 18 months after he left we're giving Osweiler about ten percent of what he wanted when he left, by the sounds of it. Also that Elway is so high on Lynch (or high on not being made to look like he picked a duffer) that as soon as he's back Osweiler may well get the boot again.

    We should re-sign Jake Plummer for a few weeks, just to be safe.

    To be fair, it's a very cheap solution to a problem he had. I think it's smart business in some respects.

    He knows the offence, basically will accept next to no salary because he's being paid by Cleveland anyway, isn't going cause much controversy because he's effectively third string and most likely gone when Pax returns and has a point to prove that he can still play.

    It would be hilarious though if that's what the Broncos have to revert to.

    Nevermind.

    Williams has been picked up by the Browns though, as has Mahow's boy Josh Woodrum, so they're definitely making some nice progress.

    Around the rest of the league, the Saints have picked up Austin Carr, Indy have taken Matt Jones, Will Tye has swapped NY teams,

    Bit of college football stuff but...

    Deondre Francois (FSU QB) took a brutal looking hit to the knees and could be fucked.
    Bama have a freshman RB who's an absolute monster, scary prospect all around (number 22, forget his name). This Bama team doesn't look that great, but they'll still be there or there abouts. They're beatable, FSU basically gifted them 14 points and the game.
    Potential number 1 pick overall Wyoming QB Josh Allen isn't going to have it easy this year, Wyoming took a beating from Iowa.
    Texas still suck.
    Malik Zaire at Florida (QB) is complete shit. If he gets drafted next year god help the team that takes him.

    I fucking love football season.

    'Smoke' Mizell has gone to the Bears too :\

    He's better than Buck Allen who we kept.

    You've got Alex Collins now instead, as the Seahawks let him go. Bears have waived Langford too.

    So who here has Game Pass that can answer something for me?

    It says you can get 25% off with the code when you sign up, but it only lets me sign up for a "7 day free trial" and I can't use the code for the trial (obviously) but I'm fairly certain it'll just charge me the full price at the end of the trial. Is there a way I can pay for it now and use the code? I might just be being blind.

    I wouldn't bother yet anyway, it's been shite so far. I really regret paying up.

    For me it's that or shitty streams of Red Zone as I don't have Sky Sports or anything.

    I've tried to cancel the trial, but it seems to still be letting me access it, so I guess that "cancel trial" means "Don't renew" and hopefully I get the option to put the code in when I purchase.

    Some games have been scrambled, some have been the wrong game. Most of the shows like Hard Knocks go badly out of audio sync the longer the show goes on, and the compressed 40 minute games sometimes take days to appear.

    Just make sure you give it a good try out during the trial and see if it's worth paying for.

    Fair enough, thanks for the heads up. As long as I can get Red Zone at a reasonable quality it'll be worth the £63 or whatever it is with the discount. I'm kind of sick of watching it every week through streams that die every so often and are shit quality and even when they aren't, they're typically behind so my fantasy leagues tell me stuff that's going to happen before I see it.

    I've only tried the trial (3 times) but it really annoyed me.

    No PS4 app and nothing on Amazon Fire which was seriously weak.

    Supposedly there is a PS4 app if you put in a US address, so I may look into that.

    I downloaded the one on my account linked to US PSN (with address) and it didn't work.

    That's shit then.

    I mean I'd likely watch it on my Laptop anyway, but I would like the option to watch it on there.

    Just announced that Miami v Tampa won't be played in Miami because of a hurricane. No word yet on whether it moves venue this Sunday or gets postponed until later in the season.

    I've not had any real issues with GamePass, save for not being able to go to a specific play by selecting it from a list like you could last year.

    The Xbox app works fine - used it on my 360 & now on my One.

    Do you have any idea how I sign up? I'll probably wait until I see how it works on Sunday anyway, but the only option I see is to start a trial and when I click that it fails because I'm already in a trial. Will that change when my trial ends? I would have paid £85 but if there's a 25% off offer I'm not going to miss out on it by letting it renew at full price (which I assume it would as it never let me input the code).

    Not sure, to be honest - auto-renewed mine from last year. When does your trial run out? Seems odd that there isn't a way to upgrade to the paid version early.

    In a week, I guess. I only just did it. I pressed cancel (don't really care about the trial) but it hasn't cancelled so I'm assuming it just won't renew. I'm going to be pissed if it runs out and then I have no option to sign up.

    Edit- I tried to contact them to confirm and it just took me to a blank page when I hit submit and I've received no automated email to say they got it. This is going so well. It's like they don't want my money.

    EZE is getting his six game suspension but can play this Sunday.

    What's he even suspended for? Seems an odd one in that from what I can tell he's been suspended for something that he wasn't convicted for (i.e. charges dropped). How the hell does that work?

    While that's shite and probably turns 2 wins into 2 losses for me in fantasy this week.

    I seem to have Game Pass to work though. As soon as my trial officially cancelled I was able to add another one and the code worked, so if I let it renew it'll be £63. Not too bad.

    Our depth chart for the first week has thrown up a couple of interesting things.

    Boyle is listed as the number 1 TE with Maxx Williams as number 3, which should be switched really. Might be like that as Boyle could be our starting fullback (along with defensive tackle Patrick Ricard) and we play 2 TE sets so Maxx will be a starter anyway.

    Correa, who was favoured all along, has won the starting MLB position despite looking shaky during the pre-season.

    Jaylen Hill, who was amazing in the preseason, is seemingly behind everyone at the CB spot but I think he will take over the starting nickel position soon enough as Webb is shit.

    Imagine it being like if you kicked off in a pub and got barred. There might not be enough evidence for the police to have you but they can stop you entering the companies pubs all they want.

    Season kicks off tonight with Chiefs @ Patriots.

    Got it set to record, but can't see anything but a Patriots win. Pats, minus Edelman should still be pretty solid at Gillette. Thoughts?

    I don't like the language he's used in that statement - it's very emotive & designed to sway people to his side, rather than to portray the incident in fair, balanced way.

    Having said that, I can completely believe that it happened as described, and I'm on his side in the whole thing.

    Yeah, Pats will win easily in the end, but hopefully it'll be close for the first few quarters. I'm tempted to watch it live, but I'm already in for a 16 hour day with work & cinema, so I don't fancy adding a whole night with hardly any sleep on top of that. Might try to sneak in a nap shortly or something.
