In regards to the the touchback rule: "According to ESPN Research, teams that started drives at the 30-yard line during the past 10 seasons averaged 1.97 points on those possessions. When their drives began at the 35-yard line, that point average jumped to 2.21 points. That's a 12% increase in scoring that coaches would have to factor in if they want to keep kicking touchbacks.

I'm still pretty sure a beautifully-placed kick will land at the 1 and be returned 99 yards in a nationally-televised game week one, and then every coach will grumble that they learned their lesson and immediately go back to blasting every KO into the stands instead.NFL then finally gives up in 2026-27 and just plops the ball at the 25 for every new possession unless a team wan

O/U on number of times this season a scoring team is awarded a 15 yd penalty assessed on the kickoff and still booms the kickoff into the end zone?

6 ?

O/U on percentage of opportunities the above happens?
50% ?


4 hours to the end of the Cowboy fans' hopes for this year!

That dildo is either going on the field or it's going in their ass and I know damn well it's not sanitary either way. Better they celebrate whatever they're celebrating than die of sepsis.

I also really don't like the Eagles schedule this year.

road schedule is so brutal

giving false hope to Cowboys fans until he springs back to incredible health in March!

I was right there with you--although not as heavily invested. Disappointing.


There’s always a few giant surprises/paradigm shifts in week 1.

Surely it’s not this game? Only theory would be revamped D for Philly not yet in sync vs high powered passing attack from DAL


Let us football!


I would like to share with you all the stupidest ****ing headline in all the world, for an article written by a clickbait hungry garbage columnist at the Detroit Free Press:

"Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes’ seats could get hot if Lions flop again"

Hey you ****ing bozo, the Lions just had two of the best seasons in franchise history and Brad Holmes has drafted better than anyone in the business.* The owner is all in, these are her guys. Nobody, and I repeat NOBODY, with so much as two functioning brain cells thinks this.

* except possibly the Eagles guy.


That's pretty bad


Lions are my sleeper pick this season. Which is kind of odd to say about a team that went 15-2.


SRM, you're still an ass, but that was an A+ post lol.

This is like answering the question " What animal would you least like to accidentally stuble upon in the dark?"

And answering it by saying "I know everyone else views them as cuddly kitty cats but for me it would be a Lion"

* except possibly the Eagles guy.

Eagles fans hated Howie for a few years and hated the Hurts pick.

The Lions are a good team and I agree no one should be on the hot seat.

Nah, they are going to shock the world tonight.


LFG

IT'S TIME FOR SOME FOOSBALL!!



I would not be completely shocked if the Boys won. SB winner typically struggles in these games.


Good thing they fixed kickoffs so there are no injuries


What ****ing thread are we using for this game?


that summarizes this game doesn't it

grown men sacrificing their bodies and their brains for our entertainment


lol see you Carter


Stay classy Iggles


by Randall Stevens m

It's hard to argue against Hutch and Abdul Carter. Maybe Jalen Carter won't flash enough to win DPOY, but Jihaad Campbell has a chance at DROY if he can stay healthy.

he won't


Hahahahaha
