I follow it avidly. I just have multiple other places to talk about it. A couple of fantasy football league group chats and a Slack channel related to my beloved Buffalo Bills.

Do you believe you can win the SB with Josh Allen? I love him and watching his play but I doubt it can go all the way. Especially in the AFC right now.
Can see them being a consistently top team but getting pipped at the end.
Hope I’m wrong.

Yes. I think he's one of top few QBs in the league so he is definitely good enough to take the team to a title. Whether or not it happens is another question. The league is stacked with great QBs and you undoubtedly need a fair bit of luck to win a Super Bowl.
Pretty thankful for the NFL today.
I'd be absolutely despondent if I only had rugby to focus on.

I went immediately to the chiefs v Bears game and at least saw someone else getting pummeled. Then saw the Dolphins v Broncos score and thought “at least I’m not them”

Deion is fine. Took over a basket case and has them with as many wins as their entire last season already. He’s also making them a fortune

So, for all of your footballing intellectuals, if you're going to run the good old Eagles not-maul on 4th-and-whatever, why use the QB instead of a wildcat formation with an RB taking the direct snap? Or go full beefiness and chuck a linesman in there, or something equally nonsensical.
In other words, why risk your QB in an obvious ""sneak"" instead of a post-human freak of nature?

They backed Hurts all year last year to do it. He’s a big hard runner and it keep the defence slightly spread because the threat of passing is still there. Personally I think it’s dumb as you are putting your QB at risk which is season ending for the team if it goes slightly wrong.
Because timing is everything. The cadence between the center and the QB in terms of the snap and then everyone moving at once is crucial.
If you try and do that with different personnel you either need to dedicate plenty of time to training it or you risk false starts and getting the snap wrong and going nowhere.

Does Dan Orlovsky bother anyone else in coverage.

Horrible game today.
Giants are so bad. Seattle not much better

Did anyone catch the Jets Chiefs game? Did Wilson suddenly get really good or were KC just off the boil?

Mahomes had one of his worst games I’ve seen for a loooong time. Wilson played about as well as he can. Still not good though.
NFL Game Pass is now on DAZN which has all the games and Red Zone covering the two main blocks of Sunday games (Monday morning our time).
ESPN on Kayo shows Thursday Night Football, 1 early window Sunday game, 1 late window Sunday game, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football.
I believe Channel 7 shows 2 games per week (one early and one late window on Sunday).
Depending on what team you want to watch you may get to see them fairly frequently without NFL Game Pass depending on how often they are in prime time or have a nationally televised game (which tends to be the ESPN/Channel 7 options).
If you want to watch a shit team you may only get to see them a couple of times a year without access to Game Pass.
Which team out of interest? I have attached this week's TV schedule.

Thanks Braveheart. I was thinking of the Green Bay Packers as people I spent time with in Alaska a long time ago were fans. Otherwise family follow 69ers.
