2015 NFL & College Football Thread

One will probably be the team that goes to London.

I'd honestly like to see a Mexican team (MTY preferably) before a European one.

If there wasn't the threat of violence I think it would be a huge hit.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

I don't ever see the NFL relocating one of it's teams outside the US.

 

[Bobby]

I think you'll eventually see one in London when Spurs get their stadium built, the league seems fixated on it.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Yeah they wouldn't be having these games over there and increased them with each passing season without the thought of taking a team and moving it there.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

I don't know. I think they should bring back NFL Europe instead or hold preseason games in countries where the fan bases are growing like Australia, Mexico, England, or Germany.

I'm just not into the whole idea of having to travel half way across the world during the regular season. Who knows though, the idea might end up working.

Especially without a Concord or equivalent, super speedy passenger connection from North America to Europe.

Cam you are disappointing me.

 

[Bobby]

Please don't tell me you got rid of Stewart this week. Or was he playing against you last week?

 

[Back Door Skip]

No, I gutted out the rough times, so this was a nice outing for him. It pisses me off that Tolbert gets the touchdowns though.

Last week I benched him for CJ2K so I was frustrated to see him rip up Seattle while on the bench.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Keenan Allen has 67 receptions, the most by any WR through the first 7 games in NFL history.

If our coach Mike McCoy refuses to run the ball like he's been doing the past games to the point of benching Melvin Gordon then why in the hell do you pay the price to move up in the draft and select him and then not play him? Makes no sense.

So the Hayne project seems to be over.


Also heard Australia lost the rugby thingy.


Alex, thoughts?

Everything I've read about the Hayne thing (even from US media) seems to think it was a rash decision to get rid of him, and they did it so close to game day so he is waived and they can keep him on practice squad?

Rumours that Seattle and Detroit are both interested in picking him up. His agent has said he is 100% not coming back to Rugby League. To be honest, when he first made the move, everyone here assumed he would be practice squad this year, and after a year of learning try and crack the NFL next year - so playing any NFL at all has exceed expectations really. Gaskins wasn't great today against the Rams though! I'd suggest Hayne has been better with his carries so far this year than Gaskins was today. So it's a strange decision. And now Bush is injured again, as is Davis....Would be funny if he cleared waivers then was put back in the squad

I don't know the game that well obviously, but think it was pretty stupid to do all the hard work with him - and then when the team is basically no chance of making the playoffs, cut him. I'd have thought now was the time to give him some carries? Get him out there to see what he can actually do.

Australia did lose the Rugby thing, but that's the other Rugby (Rugby Union, not the one Hayne played)...We weren't expected to win by any means, NZ have been World Number 1 in that game for years.

I think he has to clear waivers before they can stuff him on the practice squad. All the other teams have a shot at him first.

Edit: He should go to Canada. His skill set my translate better in Canadian football.

 

[Bobby]

That Lockett injury was scary as hell. I hope he's alright.

 

[Mandieta6]

Good return and 1st down conversion so I think he's fine. I've never seen an NFL match stop for so long due to an injury.

 

[Bobby]

It was Lockette that got hurt actually, my mistake. He apparently has a concussion but full movement which is good.

Yeah he does have to.

I think every Australian sports fan is pretty clued up on the process now haha.

He wouldn't want to go to Canada I don't imagine. That's no bigger than playing NRL at home. He wouldn't to play NFL because it's the peak of the game. I doubt he'll settle for anything less, and won't keep trying until he makes it.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Ironically they cut him and Reggie Bush got injured and it seems serious. Now the Niners don't have a punt returner anymore.

 

[Bobby]

They're a dumpster fire anyway.
