Bobcat Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just realised I posted this question on the Scottish movie thread as I was running out the dooor earlier Anyone been to the Tailgates before the game in the US. If so, do you recommend doing it if you've got 8yr old and 10yr old boys. Tailgating is to set-up the grill, coolers of drinks, and sitting around getting plowed while eating awesome food. With being on holiday and having young kids, there won't be much for the kids to do. Most teams will do pregame activties/games/etc, but you probably won't need to arrive more than 90min prior to k/o to take that all in. Tailgating is awesome if you're in a group of friends as above (night games and NASCAR races can see people setting up 12hrs+ early).

The D line coach is a top guy, I hope he goes on to have a very good career as a HC. I dislike him. He didn't handle Wright well at all and was probably a big factor in him going D2 instead of D1 (although I know Wright didn't come out of it rosy himself). Everyone there hates him and the fact that the academic woman (can't mind her name) is now away I think will be a huge loss to that school/team (and she pretty much left because of Buddy). Agree about the D-line coach. With the documentary exposure surely something bigger will be in his future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen's handling of his OC was utterly appalling as well during the bowl game. Really liked the QB and Dakota Allen, two guys have completely reformed and deserve the second chance.

luckyBatistuta Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but wtf!!!...Kaepernick petition calling for NFL boycott is gaining steam, has 130K supporters The fans are voicing their displeasure with the league through a petition on Change.org. The petition calls for fans to boycott the NFL if "Colin Kaepernick doesn't play this season." From the petition: "We understand the NFL is very important to you. We also understand the purpose of Colin Kaepernick's protest is FAR more important than any games you will ever watch. Simply put, if things stay the same for the way America -- where 'all men are created equal' -- treats people of color, then your loved ones, friends, and children will eventually be affected as well." "If you are appalled by [Kaepernick not signing], then show your power by boycotting the NFL until Kaepernick gets signed to a team," the petition states. "This means to not watch any games, no social media comments about your favorite team before/during/after the games, don't attend the stadiums, and don't buy any merchandise which represents the league or your favorite team. He's overrated as? plus he's going to distract the whole team. Why would anyone want to sign him. This is like the bloody elections. Nobody wants to accept anything these days, just protest until they get what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck berrys hairline Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Good noises about my rookie picks McCaffrey and Watson last night during the first pre season game. What does our resident Texan think of Watson's chances of the starting job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Watson already looks comfortable back there for Houston. He threw some darts into tight windows and, as we already know, he'll make plays with his legs too. I'd be shocked if he wasn't starting early for the Texans, and should even be the starter for week 1. Texan fans have got to be excited to finally have a QB that looks like he could be a star, and with their defence they could be a very good team this year. McCaffrey's an exciting player to watch. Even with just vanilla plays last night, he showed that he's going to have some highlight reel plays this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRightPeg Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Good noises about my rookie picks McCaffrey and Watson last night during the first pre season game. What does our resident Texan think of Watson's chances of the starting job? Very limited highlights on the NFL coverage of both McCaffrey and Watson. My view(s) on both: Watson - Outshone Savage, by a distance at this early stage. Savage was very sluggish and slow in the pocket whereas Watson showed quick decision making qualities and capability to extend plays with his legs (as proven with his TD). Watson was also very sensible and again, talking about his decision making, showed a "quality" as such to throw the ball away rather than force the issue risking INT's. There was a few overthrows, but this is to be expected at this early stage. My prediction: Savage will start until week 3 of pre-season where Watson will be given two weeks to polish the offense going into the Regular season. McCaffrey - Shared the load with Stewart, as is to be expected for the majority of the season. Showed limited glimpses today, a 12 yard dash inbetween the tackle and guard was his biggest run of the day. From a pass catching perspective, not much was ran for him. I suspect this is to keep it hidden from opposition going into the reg. season. My prediction: McCaffrey's numbers will be in the 1,500 from scrimmage region this season. Others on display: Rookie Damiere Byrd for the Panthers showed the speedster qualities the Panthers love (and need at this time) that Ginn & Brown have left behind. Scored 2 TD's, 1 a 50 yard grab over the top of the safeties and the other a back of the endzone grab. D'Onta Foreman the rookie RB for the Texans showed some nice glimpses of his qualities. This lad is one to watch, coming into the season following the tragic passing of his son. I suspect he will help the Texans have a 3 headed monster in the rushing game with Miller & Blue. JJ Watt is back, enough said. Him, Clowney & Mercilus should have QB's very very scared. I'll be looking to do reviews like this throughout the preseason & hopefully the regular season, so please let me know if they are appreciated. PS. I'm a Fantasy Football enthusiast as well so if there's any slots in any leagues please let me know, very keen to join! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does our resident Texan think of Watson's chances of the starting job? He was a high first round pick, and while I like Savage, he ain't providing much competition. Watson will establish himself as the starter very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
