Any NFL fans interested in playing in a brand new Perfect9 pick'em? (Which means the objective is to pick 9 winning teams out of 16 games, minus bye weeks, but if one is wrong - you bust)

$10/week. No commitment (week to week gameplay).

Decent sized jackpots because everyone keeps busting on upsets and the jackpot rolls lol

EDIT: Full disclosure: There is a $1 membership fee that covers the entire 2024 NFL season. For legality reasons, the league exists in the form of a charity fundraiser with the future intention of sponsoring youth sports teams. I say future because it's not currently generating any profit due to lack of participants... so... for now it's just a simple pick'em.

Last year Steelers would’ve won 2 more games if Harvin was even decent. And he’s cost us atleast a game a year since he was there. He absolutely never pinned him back. It alway went in end zone . He never hit a clutch punt not only in big games but any close game where it matter. Made no sense he wasn’t gone every Monday. But not a word. And a good punter would’ve made a difference many times that never happened. The way Steelers played the last couple years even though I agree that it’s unreal they won as much as they did. Basically all defense. So any football mind can see where it’s hard to understand how they wouldn’t put a premium on finding a good punter. Play the way Steelers do and they should not stop till they find one. And they couldn’t be worse the harvin anyway. This season we finally had a good punter. For 2 quarters. Unreal. But atleast I just saw it’s not Harvin. Good news. But being curious I looked up Cameron Johnson hoping. Just hoping. But I don’t know. I looked him up and you do it yourself. See how impressed you are. I’m rooting for him. 45 yrs avg his freshman year at Ohio State. I didn’t even realize Ohio state needed a punter. Has to be better than Harvin. All you new Dads out there: make sure you atleast check on his punting skills. I’d hade to have a prodigy and never realizing. It’s seems like it’d be a job in high demand. I’ve seen so many more impressive athletic feet’s than a 50 yard punt.

I’ll give a couple of mine:

“Straight cash homie” - Randy Moss

“I’m not gonna have a concussion. You ain’t gonna hit me cause you can’t catch me” - Cris Carter

And anything Marshawn Lynch has ever said

Me and a group of friends are travelling over for our 2nd annual US trip to see a game this season (Went to Buffalo last year). We're down to Houston (for week 5 bills v texans game) or Cincinatti (for week 5 Ravens v Bengals game). Both great matchups.

Any advise on the pros / cons of each city in terms of game day and general experience for a weekend as both are new to us all

Appreciate your input.

What frustrates me about the commissioner is just because on Presidents’ Day weekend federal employees have off. Doesn’t mean that everybody gets the weekend off on Monday so that automatically means we should have the Super Bowl that weekend. The best solution for everybody would be just to move the Super Bowl from a Sunday to a Saturday. because I see that more people have Saturdays off and then they can recuperate on Sundays and be ready for the workday on Monday..

Where do you all think he would end up if he ended up leaving

TLDR: OT rules should let both offenses have a chance to score. Most of the rules don’t change other than touchdowns (fastest touchdown wins). First team sets the pace and second team needs to match (or outscore) last teams attempt to win.

I’m not such a huge fan of the current overtime rules but I understand that a game can’t last for forever and teams need to either allow a tie or practically win off of a simple coin flip sometimes. This would mainly be for postseason OT rule change, but I think it could work for the regular season just the same.

RULES:

• Coin flip remains as usual, with team that wins coin toss either taking the ball first or deferring
• Offense gets 10 minutes on the clock, 2 timeouts.

SCENARIOS:

Scenario 1: If offense scores a touchdown in X amount of minutes with X amount of timeouts, the defense now gets the ball and has the same amount of minutes and timeouts to score a touchdown. If the team scoring second chooses a field goal after the first team scores a touchdown they will still lose, but at least they (maybe) covered the spread 🤷🏼‍♂️.

• Ex: 49ers win the coin toss and choose to keep the ball. They have 10 minutes on the clock and 2 timeouts, and they score a touchdown in 3:23 seconds with 0 timeouts. The Chiefs must score a touchdown in less than 3:23 without timeouts or they lose (potentially resulting in a Hail Mary, if the ball is not turned over before then).

Scenario 2: If offense scores a field goal in X amount of minutes with X amount of timeouts, the defense now gets the ball and has the same amount of minutes and timeouts to score a field goal OR a touchdown. If the second team scores a touchdown it is an automatic win. If the second team is not able to score a field goal or touchdown in less time, they lose. If the second team scores a field goal in less time, the first team gets the ball back and now has to either score a touchdown in that timeframe for an automatic win, or score a field goal to turn the ball back over for the cycle to repeat.

• Ex 1: Chiefs win coin toss and defer the ball. 49ers drive up the field to the 30 and are forced to make a 47 yd field goal. They score a field goal in 5:16 no timeouts. The chiefs get to the 30 in 2:14 no timeouts. They could kick a field goal in significantly less time than the 49ers did, but they choose to go for a touchdown and get it. Chiefs automatically win.
• Ex 2: The same scenario but the chiefs aren’t able to convert and the ball is turned over on downs. 49ers win.
• Ex 3: 49ers win coin toss and take ball first, they score a field goal in 3:27 with 2 timeouts. Chiefs get the ball and score a field goal in 3:13 with 1 timeout. The 49ers get the ball again and they score a field goal in 1:15 with 1 timeout. The chiefs get the ball and score a field goal in 1:10 with 0 timeouts. The 49ers are unable to score a field goal in under 1:10 and since the Chiefs used less than 1 timeout last time they had the ball (0 timeouts…), the 49ers cannot stop the clock and lose the game.
• Ex 3: Chiefs win the coin toss, choose to defer. 49ers score a field goal in 0:13 seconds with 2 timeouts. Chiefs drive up the field in 12 seconds and have just used their second timeout. The chiefs are 68 yds away from a field goal and fake a field goal with a Hail Mary attempt but it gets knocked down. 49ers win.

Potential ways teams can try to win in interesting strategies:

• Ex: the first team offense scores a touchdown and goes for a 2 pt conversion. Now the second team has to score in less time with the same or less timeouts and must get a 2 pt conversion, since a PAT no longer will win. If the first team misses the conversion, the second team now just needs to score a 6 pt touchdown in less time with same amount of timeouts. Doesn’t really change it for the first team if they miss a conversion (since the second team scoring has already done it in less time), but can screw the second team if the conversion is successful.

That’s all I got now maybe I’ll add something and edit it if I think of something or there’s a good comment

Edit: added TLDR, fixed grammar

It drives me up a wall when people only talk about the non PI call against Robey-Coleman. People forget LA was down 14-0 in the first half and came back to tie game on last second field goal, AFTER Sean Payton mismanaged the clock.

NOT TO MENTION, Saints get the ball to start OT, and Drew Brees threw a pick to give the ball to LA and they won on a FG.

Quit blaming the refs New Orleans and everyone else, you choked away the lead and try to find every excuse that someone else screwed you over when you lost that game, point blank, period.

Last year, we had the honour of sending two fortunate NFL fans to the Big Game, and we're back at it again this year with an even bigger package.

A chance to receive 2 tickets in section 202 at Allegiant Stadium, $4,000 Expedia credit for airfare and accommodations, and 2 tickets to Leigh Steinberg's esteemed 37th Annual Party.

See the listing. For more details, please refer to the full press release.

I was playing Madden 11, franchise and I kinda wondered since IT's a realistic enough team...sorta that I just felt like sharing.

​

It's 2010 and these are the vikings:

QB: Brett Favre (this is washed favre)

RB: Adrian Peterson

WR: Sidney Rice (Injured tho, out for the year), Percy Harvin, Terrell Owens, Greg Lewis, Kenny Britt.

TE: Viscanthe i forgot the rest of his name

Sort of improved OL from 09. Not much

The Defense is 09 basically. pretty much the same.

​

How far does this team go, realistically speaking in 2010?

Two months ago, I was watching a stream from sudden death sports (SDS) and the viewers would vote who is the most iconic NFL player for each team. I’m curious what your guys thoughts are (The Jets pick was a meme 🍑). This is what the viewers (including me) at the time chose.

Street link: https://www.youtube.com/live/31WTJaEE5ao?feature=shared

Bucs: Warren Sapp

Falcons: Michael Vick

Saints: Drew Brees

Panthers: Steve Smith

Colts: Payton Manning

Texans: JJ Watt

Jags: Mark Brunell

Titans: Steve McNair

Packers: Brett Farve

Vikings: Randy Moss

Bears: Sweetness

Lions: Barry Sanders

Steelers: Mean Joe Green

Ravens: Ray Lewis

Bangles: Ochocinco

Browns: Jim Brown

Patriots: Tom Brady (duh)

Bills: Jim Kelly

Dolphins: Dan Marino

Jets: Mark Sanches (aka, Mr butt fumble)

Eagles: Donovan McNabb

Commander/Redskins: Joe Theismann

Giants: Eli Manning

Cowboys: Emmit Smith

Broncos: John Elway

Chargers: LT

Raiders: Bo Jackson

Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes

49ers: Joe Montana

Seahawks: Beast Mode

Rams: Kurt Warner

Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald

Need to have this question settled. If the Bears and the Panthers merged into one team with the 52 best players from each (assuming all healthy), how would that team do this season? My friend thinks they could go 12-5 and make a legit push in the playoffs. I think closer to 9 wins and a borderline playoff team (although they'd probably win NFC South). He also thinks they would easily have a top 10 O-line whereas I think it would be more like top 15. Thoughts?

Basically the title, but do you think Donna Kelce could someday have the hots for Zach Wilson in the same way she does for Jimmy Garoppolo?

I’m traveling to a few stadiums this year to experience the energy from their respected stadiums.

This week, I went to Lumen Field against the Dallas Cowboys!

Here is my vlog from there: https://youtu.be/cXUuo3wha0Q?si=IX6b_K_kS0qJaCxi

Hey guys. Im a new player starting to play football at my school. Im an upcoming junior who has never played any sports for a school or team before. Ive signed up for my schools football summer camp and finished week 1 recently. Im going to be playing free safety.

My problem is that when the coaches talk to other players, I don't understand a single thing. Im behind compared to others in terminology and knowledge and I was wondering if you guys have any videos or spreadsheets with all the basic information I need. Stuff like routes, coverages, calls, basic techniques and etc. Im really tryna study and know how to play this sport.

Any links, videos or other posts would really help! Thank You!!

Hi, I have a draft for my dynasty team tonight. I usually do my due diligence with rookies around training camp. But the draft is tonight. I have the #2 pick. Can anyone help?

What predictions do you guys have for Sunday's games? I'd have to say Eagles and Bengals are going to the Bowl.

Now that the weekend of games are over how insane was week 15 what was your favorite moments

Lets say the 2022-2023 Texans restart the season but this time they get 5 downs on offensive. Are they winning the SB? If not would this + only 3 downs on defense do the trick?

Hypothetically, in terms of effectiveness compared to college football players, suppose the least effective players from every offense or defense position from any team in the NFL were to form a team and play versus a similarly formed college team, who would win and why?

Looking for something like morning brew, but for the NFL.

basically just a summary of everything that is going on in the nfl and is quick to read

If so please let me know why

View Poll

Who do you take for 5 seasons: Tom Brady, or regular season Peyton Manning and playoff Eli Manning combined in a lab?

My son has Astigmatism and he is 6 years old. He loves football so bad and wishes to play it. He is great with his physical performance but the astigmatism is an issue 20/70. I read that this can be fixed down the road wearing glasses, i am willing to spend all my $ to fix this or buy anything for him to play. Next week I have an eye specialist appt. and will follow every single instruction just wondering what’s your opinion about this issue of you have a kid that passed through this before ? I know there are players that wear glasses out there but just wanted to know you folks what you think. Thanks
