2015 NFL Season Thread - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I agree that the report is weak...that's why I'd say it gets reduced down to two. This way the NFL still saves a little face and the punishment isn't so outrageous.

And if anything, I expect the fine/picks to be the easier thing to get overturned. The report pretty much exonerated the coach/owner/organization...I know it's suppose to be an in aggregate penalty but still...

Who's your running back now?

Pat, have you heard of this guy?

Of course we know there really is no such thing as the Madden Curse, but I would've preferred Gronk on the cover solely we can stop hearing about the curse, ugh!

Can't disagree with Gronk, and it seems worse since he was from the SB winner but hey....WR is sexy and TE really isn't and it's all about that sex appeal.

Much like that article calling that Penn State player a mathematical genius, all about hype. Whoever wrote it probably has no idea themselves about any of that stuff.

I have to imagine it's gunna be same as last year: 1-2 with Jennings and Williams, but now we got Vereen mixed in who will probably be a third down/change of pace/back up.

We got Hynoski back and healthy, the O line is hopefully looking to keep improving...with both those I'm hopeful for the running game.

^ Yes...the Vreen pickup was probably my favorite of the Gmens free agency moves. Especially with Willliams not being the most experienced with catching out of the backfield, Vreen could get a good amount of field time and become that safety valve all teams need.

I'm hesitant to say this, as last time I expressed confidence in the giants they started 0-6...but...I think offensively, the giants should be in pretty good shape (especially if Odell can avoiid the curse). Even if the line is only 35% better than last year, that will be a marked improvement!

Yeah, Vereen never struck me as a main back or anything but he's superb in his role and as Phil said we could use a great pass catcher out of the back. Honestly, we haven't had that since Tiki Barber. While I loved Jacobs I won't forget the game ages ago when Eli had 34 incompletions or something and I think half were attempts to Jacobs LOL

I'm also cautiously optimistic for the first time in a couple of years. Offense really isn't my concern this year, just praying Cruz can come back to at least 80% (I'm being conservative and assuming he won't have a full return, so I can't be let down, and hopefully he does and my expectations are exceeded) but defense is the ? again. If the secondary can stay healthy we may have a beastly one, Prince, DRC and others were all playing great till injuries devastated us. Hoping spags can find his old magic and get our many solid pass rushers to become greater than the sum of their parts.

Agreed, one has to expect a tight battle with Dallas, Philly and NY with Washington languishing.

Also I just realized AFC east now has 3 teams with brutal defensive lines, Brady may not wan to return lol

^ A pretty stupid change if you ask me.

I'd definitely prefer the narrower goalposts instead of this. Though, I think I would make them a little wider than they did at the pro bowl this year.

And definitely. I don't know why that wasn't allowed before.

Yeah, despite the occasional hiccup Beatty really was a very good player. Wonder if Flowers would be thrust right into starting at LT. Quite scary to think about!

I've heard so far they were experimenting with Flowers at left, Schwarz and Pugh at Guard, Richburg at Center of course and Newhouse at right (I forgot the Giants got him (though the Packers O line has generally not been great so I'm nervous))

Also the Giants injury bug continues, Robert Ayers got hurt on the very first snap of non contact OTAs. What the f**k man seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Hope it's not too bad, he was a good pass rusher for us.
