    The usual model for Green Bay is to have the young QB learn for a few years, right? I seem to recall Rodgers himself being sat for about 4 years.

    If they knew he was going to smash it, they'd surely have dumped Rodgers off by now too you'd think.

    Fans will turn on management hard if they lose the league MVP and arguable best WR in the game in the same off season.

    Rodgers struggled his first season though, went 6-10 after they were 13-3 the season before. There can be a rough stretch as long as the qb looks promising.

    Devante has no leverage I didn’t think. The tag is against him…

    We have football on Thursday night

    Okay, so it’s only the Hall of Fame game, but it’s football.

    I will always think fondly back on that season with Denver though, which him being mostly shit but occasionally leading inspirational comebacks. Getting the playoffs at 8-8. The referee in the Pittsburgh wildcard game spending approximately three hours explaining the new OT rules only for Tebow to find Thomas who ran 80 yards for a touchdown on the first place.

    Glorious times.

    I’d imagine he’ll narrowly miss out again. Moss, Singletary & Breida will be the three who get the ball, and they like Taiwan Jones as a special teams/locker room guy. Not sure they’d keep more than that.

    Guess all that bruising at auburn worked against him.

    Seems like it, given his injury history & the infinite supply of running backs who can contribute straight out of college.

    He’ll probably have to get used to playing special teams if he wants to stick on a roster at this point.

    Shame. He’s $1.8m ish better off because of football, but he will live with that horror forever.

    Shame for him too as if the college pay laws came in a few years ago he probably could’ve made that before even reaching the pros.

    What does a 24 year old retired NFL running back do with their life? Hopefully he’s got a sensible head on him.

    College football is back \o/

    Penn State/Wisconsin should be a good game to start us off, before Alabama crush Miami, then we get Georgia/Clemson, which will be one of the biggest regular season games of the whole season.

    Also, lol at apparent dark horse playoff contenders North Carolina losing their opening game to Virginia Tech, who didn’t even make a bowl game last year (but do have a load of pretty good players, to be fair).

    Looks like a pretty bad start of Sam Howell’s draft stock too, but then there were a load of horrible turnovers in week one (both QBs had awful picks in the Boise/UCF game, and Nebraska pulled off a spectacular shambles to give up a safety on a punt return).

    Yeah got game day on. Last week was rubbish.

    Interested to see how DJ copes.

    Probably won’t get to watch much but will see if I can catch some highlights. Where’s the best place to get them? Do bt sport /espn do highlights? Or do I need to grab espn player?

    My cousin is making full use of being a student post covid and going to Kyle Field to watch them absolutely pump Kent state hopefully. He’s all in on one of the wideouts there, thinks he will making a killing locally off the NIL stuff (chase lane).

    I am jealous.

    And should really become an A&M fan on that basis.

    I tend to just go to YouTube, to be honest. There are a few channels who do condensed games pretty soon after - Matthew Loves Ball is the one that I can remember the name of.

    I’ll be interested to see what A&M look like this year. They’re usually pretty slow & not very explosive, so I’m not expecting them to change with a new QB in place - probably still going to run through Wydermyer & the RBs - but it does seem like that’s the leap they need to take to be an actual threat as a playoff contender.

    Erm, maybe? Only if you like car crash TV though. We also nearly had Oklahoma lose to Tulane, so it's just been a miserable start for the 2022 QB draft class.

    Kayvon Thibodeaux has also got injured already, so it's not exactly getting much better out west.

    DJ looked rough.

    Rattler and Howell had a rough start too.

    Bama to absolutely steam roll this season, most likely.

    The Clemson OL really struggled to handle Georgia. Difficult to know if Georgia could do that against Bama and the like because Clemson really didn’t offer much. Big 99 at Georgia was class. Monster.

    Yeah, everyone’s basically surrendered to Alabama already. Really need some big improvements from the rest of the power teams if anyone is going to give them a proper game.

    Awesome to see McKenzie Milton come in to the game yesterday & lead a TD drive, but couldn’t pull off the upset thanks to the good old college kicker phenomenon.

    Also, lol at Washington losing to Montana, which has a shot to be the most embarrassing loss of the whole season.

    Brilliant opening game last night. Thought Godwin had lost it for the Bucs with the fumble on the goal line, but the Cowboys just left too much time on the clock.

    The amount of completed passes caught me off guard.

    Gronk still having it is great. Opted for him over Noah fant in fantasy so hopefully off to a flier.

    Mike evans, less so.

    Never mind, Ohio State's defense is worse CJ Verdell is running all over them. Just give the trophy to Bama already, nobody else looks remotely close to them.

    Who knew the jets would still be bad?

    The jags losing to Houston is not a good sign for their season. They lost 15 on the trot did they not? This makes it an 0-16 run.

    Alright maybe isn't the right word, because it's been deeply meh. But it looks closer to being alright than I thought it would.

    EDIT: Yay, Jeudy being carted off.

    Well that second half was largely pretty decent in the end. I know the giants aren't great but it was a good steady performance and it's good to see Miller playing well.

    We were pretty damn pathetic.

    We looked pretty handy in the first half although a little toothless at times but then completely wilted in the second.

    Villanueva might as well have not player as I think he was beat by Crosby on every single play other than those where he had help or he was holding. The rest of the O-Line weren't great but they weren't turnstiles. I also think that the play calling really didn't help, we were running the ball well but we largely moved away from it even though we were leading. This would have helped the useless Villanueva a lot. Ty'Son Williams for example barely got a carry after his 35 yard TD, why?

    The defensive play calling was also shocking. Wink Martindale kept sending cover 0 blitzes and every single time he did we were picked apart including on the last play of OT. I also knew as soon as we settled for a FG at the end of the 4th we were in trouble and Martindale gave them an easy FG to tie it as he only rushed 3 on the 2 plays whilst dropping everyone else 40 yards deep. Why? They weren't looking to push it deep down the field and go for a hail mary, they wanted 20 yards a play and we gave them that easily.

    And yet they used him to protect for Lamar in OT (which was another poor decision).



    He was used the most used RB by far but they didn't give him many carries in the second half.

    It's when you realise these are 50k+ seater stadiums that are rammed full for every game, it sinks in.

    Their High School games probably get watched by more than we get for the Championship over here.
