These are the stand outs for me.

I am not sure why everyone is so down on the Saints this year. They looked good without Brees last year.

[voodoo ray]

Jags Dolphins could be good. Depending on how Lawrence is playing.

been to see the jags once, and that once is enough for me.

the only way I'd go see them again is if they were playing the bucs. might as well say I've watched brady live before he hangs it up at the age of 57.

[swoopy]

I have registered interest for Miami v Jags, 2 years ago i would have swerved both games actively but a year and a half of nothing, not taking anything for granted anymore

Done the same. Might be harder to get a ticket this year with only 2 games.

[Dull Tools]

Why are there only 2?

[swoopy]

Why are there only 2?

Not sure. Not sure why they've not put a couple at Wembley too.
I'm sure they won't be doing the proposed two games if COVID restricts a full crowd anyway.

[voodoo ray]

probably covid-related. though there was some talk of them wanting 2 UK (though teams can arrange more if they want to apparently) 1 mexico city and 1 'other'

[Statto Red]

Normally the Bucs play at Wembley once a year, seems they're not playing their this year

[Statto Red]

SNF in week 4 is Bucs @ Pats

[bryanod]

Actually a dolphins fan so want to go, defo gonna be pain hole get tickets though. Ugh. Even already booked a flight for first time in 18 months for it!

How do you buy tickets for NFL games in the US?

I want to buy Browns tickets for their 21st Nov game. I signed up to tocketmaster, can select the seats but when I go to my basket/next it stops me.

What is the best way to do this? Also as I live in the UK how do you receive them? Would they post to here or could you collect at the stadium?

What's the error you're getting? Maybe try a different browser?
Looks like you just get them from here:
https://www.ticketmaster.com/cleveland-browns-vs-detroit-lions-cleveland-ohio-11-21-2021/event/05005A88CEA012F7
Just tried it from my US Ticketmaster Account and no issues getting them into the basket and proceeding.

It's all mobile tickets. You need to download the Ticketmaster US app and open it outside the ground which gave me 2x QR codes to show to get access. Everyone had to do this (there was free wifi outside the ground).

[Statto Red]

Bucs @ Pats tickets start from $1.150 a ticket, which is not surprising, sometimes it's best looking closer to the game date depending how teams are playing at the time.

You can get NFL tickets from this site too

I was using Chrome on Windows PC. But I have just tried your link via my phone and it works!!

Thanks!

julio on the market, pats favourties at this time - damn, if he goes there, you gotta feel they're gonna make a mark with the roster they've built (why the fuck they didn't do that for brady, fuck knows), rams appear very interested too

anyone who can afford him should be interested, it's been muted he could go for as low as a 3rd pick! didn't belichick get randy moss for that........


btw, not very fucking cool for shannon sharpe to do that shit live on air over the phone without letting julio know they were on air, i wouldn't like that shit in ordinary life let alone in that kind of situation

No way Julio & his agent didn’t know. It was a set-up & they got their message out. I’d like him at the Raiders, but doubt we can afford him.

[voodoo ray]

I can't help but have my suspicions about that whole phone call thing.

The show is live right? So what would have happened if he'd answered and been all "hey what's up ya c*nt?"

[PatriotScouser]

Yes it is live and of course Julio knew about it!

I'd love Julio at the Pats he is just what we need. Though he's favoured to go to the Titans. But I'd offer N'Keal Harry and a couple of picks for him. Though they'd probably want Gilmore. I'd be reluctant to give up Gilmore for Julio though I may do it. But we need to definitely pick up the phone to the Falcons and register our interest!

That’s fine from the Pats perspective but why would the Falcons want to take on your total bust of a first round pick? Especially when receiver is the strong point of their team even if Julio leaves!

[PatriotScouser]

According to a GilletteNation source, the Patriots have offered RB Sony Michel and a 1st round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for WR Julio Jones and a 4th round pick  Hope it is true 

[KillieRed]

Didn’t Michel struggle to get reps last season?

[Armand9]

No way Julio & his agent didn’t know. It was a set-up & they got their message out. I’d like him at the Raiders, but doubt we can afford him.

per mcafee show

“They did not know. FOX, Julio, nobody knew that was happening and that is why we have seen the actions out of FOX we have seen with the content since it happened. It has not been re-posted, it ended abruptly, there was no follow-up questions, there was no nothing on FOX. Everybody else has talked about it, they have not.”

now you could argue his source is shite (mcafee said it was a source, not personal opinion) - but what he says is true, FOX had a huge scoop there but never went back to it or made anything of it at all apart from the live call? no way, any network that landed that would've milked the fuck out of it

[rafathegaffa83]

Julio Jones to the Titans for at least a 2nd round pick

[voodoo ray]

one player makes the titans receiving group, on paper, infintely better than it was.

as long as he's fit obviously

[Linudden]

I'm not sure taking on a 32 year old injury-prone wide receiver on a bumper contract is a very wise move but on the other hand the Titans have only had one game plan in the past couple of years so diversifying tactics a bit probably can't hurt. All this aside, since they have a winable division at least they could have another chance to go to the AFC Championship if everything falls their way but I really feel both they and the Colts are a QB away from serious contention and regardless of whether they'd travel to KC, Buffalo or Baltimore in the playoffs I think they'd get beat. I just can't see any team from the AFC South really going to the Super Bowl. There's zero doubts who's the best QB in that division and he's stuck on a junk team battling legal issues...

[classycarra]

Injury prone? That's recency bias, surely.

The guy's played 13 regular games or more (plus postseason, sometimes) in 8 out of his 10 NFL seasons (the two being last season, and seven years ago in 2013).  Same in his 3 college seasons.

Think that's a little overly down on Tannehill personally, he's had a very good time with the Titans

[RedG13]

Titans issues last year was more defense was insanely bad and some coaching errors. Getting Julio can give then a monster offense have concerns about an OC change though

[Red Viper]

I think, if nothing else, the Titans are going to be alot of fun to watch this year.

[Jookie]

Given Jones trade value ended up being a 2nd and a4th, I'm surprised the 49ers and Shanahan didn't push harder for him. Jones was brilliant in Shananhan's system in Atlanta.

Maybe the trade for Lance and losing future 1st round picks made this deal harder to do. Maybe it's the cap hit and impact on potential future extensions for Warner, Samuel and Bosa.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't look like the 49ers FO are pushing all the chips onto the table to win now.Maybe they think they can win now and still build for the future. I think a lot of that may depend on how their young WR group progresses (Ayuik, Samuel and Jalen Hurd).

Titans will be really interesting going forward. Absolute dynamite in certain positions but Q marks about them overall. In the AFC South I think the Colts may still have the more solid roster but Jones going to the Titans makes them a very dangerous proposition in the AFC South and the AFC overall.

How fucking phenomenal is that?

 

[potatomato33]

How fucking phenomenal is that?

 

This guy is the smartest man in the NFL. Good enough to get multiple multi-million dollar contracts, but tones it down once he's on a hot streak so he doesn't have to play much each season. He is my hero.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Hey lads, send me a PM if you are interested in a start up dynasty league - we are doing another one this year.   Anywhere from 8-10 teams - and some fun people associated with RAWK

[stoa]

If you've missed Claus/something worse (or whatever his name was), NFL Fantasy is where you can be united with your beloved friend. And if you hate him, NFL Fantasy is the way to go as well, because we're making fun of him all the time...

Edit: Wait... That's for a new dynasty league? Nah... Get in touch with Trend, if you want to be in a Guillotine league with some colourful characters. It's way less complicated than it sounds...

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Rodgers:

Stays or Goes?

[WillG.LFC]

Stays one more season I think

[voodoo ray]

For this season he either plays in green bay or nowhere.

[KillieRed]

Stays. No-one has the draft capital anymore to entice Green Bay. There would have to be a package of incoming players that would weaken his new team significantly if bidders were to go down that route. The Packers may as well sack their GM if that’s what Rodgers truly wants.
