Worth a watch Redskins fans

Love these things. Still recommend Hard Knocks to any NFL fans.
The level of detail for the coaching etc is extraordinary. Over 20 coaches for an Nfl 53 man roster. Nearly every position has its own specialist coach. That's before you start including scouts, analysts etc.

You ever watch the Baker Mayfield one? They followed him in the run up to draft day, 10min per episode I think, obviously edited to show him in the best light but made me really like him. Loved that he spent draft evening sat in his parents house with family and friends, the emotion on his, his mum's (and gf's) face when they saw his phone buzzing whilst the Browns were on the clock was amazing.

Browns were good last year. This season going to be one of lions, raiders, giants or Redskins. Any of last 3 would be good

All or Nothing going to be about the Panthers this time around.

Missed this series. See they've done the Cowboys and cardinals before. Going to have to catch up.

The order was
Cardinals
Rams
Cowboys

For me it got slightly worse as it's gone on but maybe thats because I've become more accustomed to the league.

Watching the Cardinals go for it under Arians first time round was an amazing watch. Highly recommend.

Would expect them to save the Raiders one till the offseason where they move?

Can't be guaranteed due to quali criteria. Any team making playoffs exempt for 2 years. Gruden flops and is fired then any team with new coach is exempt also.

Just "binged" watch the Cards series. Great shout an amazing watch indeed. Best series NFL series I've seen so far.

When I watched it I had no idea how their season went so them losing to the Panthers in the playoffs and seeing all their players clearing out their lockers at the end was heartbreaking.

Highlights swings and roundabouts of NFL. Championship game to bottom of the pile in 3 seasons.
That was a good side that fell away pretty quickly despite a load of talent.

I like the way they push the 'All or Nothing'. It isn't like football where you finish 4th and say it was a good year because you're in the champions league. You either win the Super Bowl or are eliminated.

That season is good because Arians, Palmer, Fitzgerald, rookie Johnson, Upati etc. just seem inherently likeable.

Push on with the other two. Rams is fascinating watching Goff struggling to adapt and an organisation all over the place compared with the Cards. As a Vikings fan you'll appreciate Keenum too. Dallas is interesting as it goes on during Zeke's suspension.

Watching Arians at Tampa will be more interesting this season having watched this.

Redskins can't catch a break. Foster out for season already.

Really fancied him for a big season now his legal stuff had been sorted.
Sure I said on here when you signed him he's a terrific player who could be massive signing - if it could be all about his football

Half hour in the queue. Not luck yet.

It's weird for them to still call them season tickets for two games.

4 potentially good games this time round. Most have strengthened this year.

I think I'll go for stub hub last minute again.

Will be fine for Wembley tickets, can see WHL tickets starting expensive and remaining expensive on secondary sites due to the venue/limited availability

Yeah definitely, will probably go Jags Texans as can see Rams getting more interest being in the SB last year.

trying for Bears Raiders. do like my defensive football

Raiders for Hard Knocks then. Should be lively with some of the characters involved.

Anyone seen this? Last day today apparently - https://intu.co.uk/merryhill/events/nfl-tour

11 days to go!!

One of the highest rated QB's around. Surprised at this. Although locally it may not be such a surprise. Hard being an English nfl fan sometimes

Injuries have taken a massive toll on Luck, he’s made his money and he’s no longer prepared to suffer the pain anymore. Can’t blame him really, just such a shame cause he could have been one to challenge Brady as his career unfolded.

rosen has done really well for us in pre season, fitzmagic be benched after 3 games id say.

Pre- season means jack....that’s what I’m hoping for as a Falcons fan.

NFL Show back on tonight!

Could be another tough season ahead for the Redskins.

Maybe they will surprise everyone, but I think there is still work to be done in order to make us great again.
