Earliest time it will start is 2am our time. That's optimistic too.

Fuck sake, half time might even be a stretch.
2am start was based on the weather clearing the stadium by 01:30. The storm has just hit there now, so it might be even longer.
This Eagles fight song is embarrassing.
Boyz II Men are absolutely banging out the anthem here.
This is quality.
Nice to see that the Falcons still can't score TD's in the redzone.
Very nervy finish, but got the job done.
Falcons stuffed the offence well. Hard to tell if they were good or Eagles offence was bad. Once we got the run game going it looked a lot more solid.
Oh and... Philly Special 2.0
Just seen the low scoreline. Was it a penalty filled shit fest with the new rules like the whole preseason was?
First half definitely was.
18 flags before I went to bed.
Anyone going to the free NFL Kickoff event in Picadilly tomorrow? Gonna head down there & take a look around the merch stands. I've missed all the tickets for the actual events, but half of them are cheerleader signings so I'm not all that bothered, although it would've been cool to do the Around the NFL podcast one.
Falcons have lost Keanu Neal for the year with a torn ACL. That's going to hurt them.
Injuries are probably the reason we got over the line last night. We didn't get any but they seemed to lose a guy every other play in the 2nd half.
That sucks, but I feel a bit better about the Saints’ chances than I did 24 hours ago.
Alabama are disgusting this year. They're 33-0 up on Arkansas State midway through the second quarter
EDIT: Pick six on the next possession, 40-0. Still 6:44 left in Q2

I see Central Michigan are getting fisted by a team from Kansas.
Colorado/Nebraska, on the other hand, has been a cracker. Nebraska led 28-27 with 90 seconds left but gave up a cheap first down on an unnecessary roughness hit on a defenceless receiver on what would've been 4th & 19 at midfield, which set Colorado up for a go ahead TD (Laviska Shenault looks like a beast, by the way). Nebraska lost their only scholarship QB to an injury the drive before so they've driven right down the field with a walk-on, but couldn't get the ball in the endzone.
Clemson/Texas A&M now, so hopefully that hasn't already turned into a bloodbath. I'll be interested to take a look at Trevor Lawrence if he gets some snaps.
EDIT: He does play, and he throws a 64yd TD on his first play of the gameAdmittedly it was mostly because of a great catch from Higgins, but if you need a QB in the next few years, it's Jake Fromm & Tua in 2020 or Lawrence in 2021, don't worry about this lot (having said that, Will Grier is rolling so far this season).

RoJo isn't even active this week
Marlon Mack & Anthony Castonzo out for the Colts, Will Fuller out for Houston & DeVante Parker inactive for the Dolphins. Andrus Peat is out for us, which is somewhat concerning as depth isn't the strength of our O-Line this year. Cameron Meredith is inactive for us too, and apparently it's going to be Austin Carr starting in the slot. We've got our new Willie Snead
Evans & Landry being out for the Titans isn't great for my fantasy defence prospects, but they've been a consistently good run defence & still have enough to be able to put pressure on the Miami offence, so hopefully they'll do okay.

Who in the good fuck is RoJo?
Toby Roland-Jones
Fully expecting their fisting. I love it.
Luckily that was a close enough reference and I'd read a grown up talking about their second rounder not being active tonight.
What's all this about a turnover backpack for FSU?
So lads, still not sure what's going on. Watch the sky game, another game on gamepass or redzone? So many options!!
Always red zone for me. I have too many fantasy leagues to focus on any one game.
Well if you've ever had game pass you know it won't work, so at least that makes the decision easier.
Unless the sky game is an amazing one, always take Redzone. No adverts and always a team near the goal line.
Sound, I never bothered with it last season because I assumed it was a gimmicky mess, but i'll give it a go tonight. Probably better for learning about the players and that, as well.
It was a joke last season but all was supposedly fixed so I signed up again. So far every single episode of hard knocks went back to the start at random times and NFL network has crashed 3 times this evening.Originally Posted by igor_balis
On the upside, the game in 40's have been up early on Mondays and worked fine during preseason. They were a mess until week 7 last year.
Yep, just about to get redzone up & running.
It's fucked already.
I thought the same but when you get used to it, it's the best option.
Dalton almost throwing a pick 6 on his first throw of the season is such a Dalton thing to do.

Great defensive play from LaQuon Treadwell to bat that ball down. Shame he's still playing with the offence, really.
EDIT: Yeah, it always happens when I play him in fantasy.
Bengals tried to knock Luck the fuck out there, christ.
Giants
Get fucked.
I'm surprised he wasn't ejected tbh, that was brutal.
That's the sort of hit that you get ejected for in college games, not sure why it's not the same in the NFL.
He has now which was the right decision. Fuck knows why it took them so long.
Official discretion
Jesus christ.
These bullshit rules are going to make the game unwatchable. Ejection my hole.
Agreed, it was helmet to helmet & crown of the helmet too, so they can't really have too many complaints. Imagine if that had been Burfict.
Pickterman is at 1/4 for 3 yards and he's been sacked once.
This is going to be a great day for our Defence.
Fucking hell Dolphins learn how to catch a pick.
Mariota is having a mere. Amazing
Looks like the Saints game is going to be a shootout, the Titans haven't got any better on offence, and the Jags are still strong on defence.
Fitzpatrick
He didn't slide though so he should have been fair game. This shit will be flag football within about 5 years.
Yep that was an ejection.
Fucking muppets.
Not sure that was how that Loomar play was meant to work
Denzel Ward is a stud
Putting Loomar in a bit too much, simmer down lads.
