West Ham Online

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"Saul, it depends. if you are over 30 like me, your peers consider you a sad wanker and possibly a communist. If you are under 30, you are a very cool hipster, though usually these hipsters get most of their information from pundits whilst understanding very little about the game. hth"

Those of you living in the US: Are the fans of proper football regarded over there as sad wankers like the english people who like NFL are regarded over here?

"I just cant see how the broncos are going to score points, they cant rely on the defence to keep scoring game winning turnovers that's just not a maintainable level to play at. they've lost a few key pieces in that front 7 too. think the panthers steal it in a very low scoring game, good night to have the panthers kicker I imagine."

"I look forward to Newton being put on his back several times, with any luck."

the saints defence will be terrible but as long as they have brees they will have a good offense I like mark ingram as a running back if he can stay healthy and cooks looks like he could develop into a very good receiver. people are expecting big things from coby fleener in that offense too but im not too sure.

tough game to call later. broncos with an almost new o-line and young qb against the panthers with a secondary propped up by rookies. i go with the broncos front seven to again doninate newton

Just looking at the teams and I actually think the Saints look worse than anyone. Absolutely fucking gash that mob.

"My prediction is vikings lose to the panthers in the wild card round, In order of seed im going for AFC Patriots Steelers Texans Chiefs Bengals Raiders NFC Packers Cardinals Panthers Giants Seahawks Vikings"

That would be some achievement after losing Bridgewater

Skol Vikinga! The year of the Purple people eaters and FINALLY a Superbowl win!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Unfortunately grumps i think your boys are the favourites for the number 1 pick in the draft next year, think even the browns have more good players than the 49ers currently which is worrying!"

Learn the basics beforehand and sink a few beers while watching. It'll be good.

"If you like a beer bolty, then it's a superb day out. And I reckon the rams will finish us above is Mike which will be horrendous. Fuck you Mr burns."

Just got tickets for the 2nd of October. Have no idea about NFL if i'm honest but a mate got them for us to go. He's a jaguars fan as well. 3 hours is a fucking long time.

"crystal falace 12:05 Wed Sep 7 I'll give you the fergie/belichick comparison for recent success, but Lombardi pisses over both of them and the packers have had a longer, storied success like Man U. The Pats were shit prior to Brady arriving, and that's true for belichick too who was under .500 as a head coach until then."

"in fairness to him his pre season has been basically perfect! think he had a perfect passer rating in one game, but yeah he has a lot to prove! Big test for him in the first game against the giants as the dallas defence is not going to be able to contain beckham and Shepherd. Dallas' best hope all season is going to be running the ball over and over again and milking the clock, like they did to great success with Demarco Murray 2 years ago. whether a rookie can hold up to that level of touches and not hit the wall is another thing though."

"crystal, you are relentless you cսnt"

getting hit by an nfl DE or LB will put things in perspective :.)

True- although that's not the impression you'd get if you read all the wanking off going on about Prescott at the moment. The assumption seems to be that he's just going to torch everyone based on a decent preseason. How I will love it if he's completely shit in a real game situation.

"scorch, it's rare for a rookie qb and rb to carry a team in their first season. rg3 and morris did it, I can't think of many others"

"cheer up, it could be worse, you could be a rams fan *waits*"

"I'm sick of hearing about 'almighty' Dak Prescott already. The apparent lovechild of John Unitas, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and Joe Montana. Hope he gets carted off the field in the first quarter of the first game."

"So the NFL starts tomorrow night and I'm not excited at all. Gonna be a fucking miserable season for the Niners. £20 burning a hole in my pocket and I will be placing it on the Panthers at 9's. No logic, placed the top 8 teams in the betting in a pot and the missus picked one out, as I couldn't decide! Let's Go Niners, let's go 'clap clap' - woo hoo"

"I'm more after your backup tightend to be honest mate was just trying to give you an incentive by offering you a better receiver than you currently had. Lewis will start the year on the PUP list so he will definitely be out atleast the first 6 games, i was going to pick up james white but someone already has as he'll be the pssing back for us until lewis comes back. Just cant trust patriots players when its a complete unknown throwing them the ball!"
