start with the essentials package
It'll get you redzone, the condensed games in 40 (these are where they cut all the **** out and you can rip through a game and see every second of actually footy in about 40 minutes each game) and a bunch of NFL network content

7mate and espn/kayo are getting about 7-8 games a week now on tv here, so that'll cover you for single games most of the time... and just see how you go.

I guess they'd have the option to upgrade later anyway. Thanks for the advice!

That game was a certified BANGER
i felt like the last 7 minutes of that game was almost another game in itself

From Brees throwing darts, to Watson burning the **** earth down, and then the Texans playing softly. Banger. Absolute banger.

Yeah it was a great finish. Some pretty brutal defence at times, too

The soft coverage on the final play before the FG was... a firable offence. You cant let them steal 10 yards and turn an unmakable FG into a makable FG.
You play press man, get up in their **** grill, bring extra pressure and make it tough on the QB to make a completion in tight coverage, and if he wants to hold the ball and take a deep shot, you've got men coming for the sack, and if he goes quick, you're playing tight man coverage.

If you get beat in that scenario you get beat, it happens. But you CANT give up 8-10 yards of free space that makes the FG makable. That's the only thing you cant do

Injuries to strong safety Derwin James (foot stress fracture), safety Roderic Teamer (hamstring), left tackle Russell Okung (pulmonary embolism), tight end Hunter Henry (knee), wide receivers Mike Williams (knee) and Geremy Davis (hamstring), cornerbacks Michael Davis (hamstring) and Trevor Williams (quadriceps), defensive end Isaac Rochell (concussion), and linebackers Jatavis Brown (ankle) and Denzel Perryman (ankle) have left the Chargers scrambling to fill holes.
Are the Chargers the most injury prone team in history? :doubt: :lol:

Still catching up on week one... Brady had forever each play. Is the Steelers defensive team that bad, or is that normal?

I feel sorry for QBs who get INTs on their stat sheet after a WR can make a catch. Esp after avoiding the sack.

Anyway...

How 'bout dem Cowboys?!?!

Having just seen Seahawks @ Steelers, defence was a lot better than it was against Patriots.

Rookie QB had to come on for Steelers 2nd quarter, he looked composed, but Seahawks game management won the game.

the OL is fine, Wentz had to hold the ball much longer than he wanted because we lost Goedert, Jackson and Jeffery within minutes of starting the game, and then went with spells without Agholar and then Clement after HT when he was knocked out of the game. Wentz himself ended up in the tent, JP got hurt again. Basically anyone who can make a play got hurt. And he throws the game winning touchdown is Agholar makes a catch that hits him perfectly in stride with the safety already beaten.

Brutal game for philly, the injuries are already begining to mount badly. We're not going to be able to compete if we keep losing guys like we have in the opening 2 games. Even on d, Timmy Jerrigan carted off, Cox and Graham arent 100%, Sidney Jones went into the tent... just remarkable that we were still in that game given how poorly we played and how many injuries we had.

As an aside, i know it's the rules and the rules are designed to protect Carson Wentz, but i'll be **** if i know how a QB diving for the endzone is "giving himself up"... if that two point holds, at the death there we're driving for a game winning FG. Frustrating.
The first half wasnt remotely good enough though, and then to come out and immediately turn it over on the kick off... you're just not going to win NFL games on the road when your turn it over 3 times

I was at work, so it was a 1 eyed viewing but, Damn! Massive injury toll. I wish we were playing you next week :-P

I wondered where DJax was, but I saw most of the rest.

I couldn't figure out why Wentz wasn't given the 2pts.

I see Aghalors hands are still questionable as feet.

They changed the rule to protect QB's who cant slide from tearing their knees up, basically a QB running now, as soon as he dives, be it a slide or head first, he's being deemed as giving himself up and ball goes to where his knee/elbow land there after....

This is one of those unforseen consequences of rules. It is what it is, it's disappointing in this specific circumstance but i know it'll help Wentz long term in terms of his health. The eagles had their chances and couldnt get it done. And they'll continue to not get it done if these injuries continue to mount.

I get protecting the QB, but I'm still of the opinion that if a QB takes off, he shouldn't be protected. He is a ball runner like anyone else. You want to give yourself up, that's fine, but going head 1st shouldn't be "giving yourself up", that's "going for more".

Yep, i agree, but it doesnt matter much now.
The cowboys finally have a real offence this year, so dropping games like this where we catch a football and win, could really hurt. Curious to see what Jerreh Jones does with Moore/Garrett if this is a really good season for Dallas

Simple really, Wins = Garrett keeps job.

Moore is young and on his 1st shot. Maybe 2-3yrs as a successful OC and who knows?!?
