The Raiders have just signed ex Vikings (2 games) kicker Daniel Carlson. Gruden is going all out for first pick in next year's draftThe Red Robin said:What a mess in Oakland...
According to the Athletic's Vic Tafur, a number of Raiders veterans have questioned coach Jon Gruden's "accountability" in the wake of the Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper trades.
"When what you say and what you do are two different things, there is a problem," one player told Tafur. Gruden allegedly told the players Cooper would not be traded, and then he was flipped to the Cowboys after the bye. Cooper was pulled off the practice field with no explanation. Gruden didn't tell the players why, and also talked to the media about the trade before addressing the team, as the rest of the squad learned of the deal via their phones. "Of course I’m concerned about the locker room," veteran TE Lee Smith said. Another player added, "I think many of us realize we won’t be here next year. We are just waiting to see if we will be here next week." The Gruden tenure is off to a roaring start.

So if the league were to finish today the Raiders would have:
4th pick - from finishing position
13th pick - from Dallas
18th pick - from Chicago0 -
And more overall picks to come when they trade down from at least one of those spots and trade Derek Carr and others.MrOneLung said:So if the league were to finish today the Raiders would have:

I am doing NFL challenge sky one, we have 8 people in this league.
One person has realised today after 7 weeks they haven't selected a captain. How they have won a couple of games still, they are quite into their NFL and just assumed they wasn't picking very well. I did laugh
Quite surprised it doesn't auto select one too, as that is alot of points lost 0 -
Not sure whether to start Trubisky or Roethlisberger at QB this week. I know who the better QB is but I think I owe Mitch some loyalty as he’s been putting up serious points, even if his actual pass game is off.0

Yeah, that one where Derek Carr dumps it off for -1 yardage.Callumcafc said:0 -
That's the kind of play that infuriates me on Madden. Good to see Parker back for the Dolphins.stackitsteve said:

Called back for defensive and offensive pass interference but...3 -

BEASLEY: So what you got, Coop?Callumcafc said:
COOPER: Man, there were a few plays we loved running back in Oakland.
AUSTIN: Like what?
COOPER: Well we ran this one play. I'd line up as a wideout. Derek would do a three step drop and then --
PRESCOTT: A three what?
COOPER: A three step drop.
PRESCOTT: Oh, right... can you explain that, though? For the rookies, I mean.
COOPER: Well, the quarterback just takes three steps and stays in the pocket to find a receiver.
PRESCOTT: Oh, right right. So three steps and then he rolls out of the pocket.
COOPER: No, he doesn't roll out of the pocket. He just stays in the pocket the whole time.
PRESCOTT: Right. So three steps.
COOPER: Exactly.
PRESCOTT: And then he rolls --
COOPER: No. No roll. He stays in the pocket for the whole play. When you stay in the pocket, it helps the --
ELLIOT: Just don't, man.

Or.... Premier league games should be played in Premier league grounds and not the National Stadium where set piece games, cup finals and events like NFL book them well in advance.

Anyway, should be a cracking day today, Philly fans have travelled in the thousands, it feels like the biggest US support we have seen here for years. Looking forward to this one.1

national ground indeed .. American Football is not a national game is it ? .. or do you know better ? ..SE7toSG3 said:Or.... Premier league games should be played in Premier league grounds and not the National Stadium where set piece games, cup finals and events like NFL book them well in advance.
Spurs have more right to play there than do the Jacky Jags at the behest of the owner of Fulham FC trying to make more cash for his already huge pile
The last football (not American) game played at Wembley was spoilt by a threadbare, grassless pitch as a result of the ring for the Joshua fight being built there .. is that an acceptable use of the national stadium so far as you're concerned ?1 -
Yep pretty much, no need to get vexed about it, there is a huge appetite for NFL here in the UK, every game sells out and its been a regular feature at Wembley for over a decade now.
Horse of the year show in 1970, that proper fucked the cup final!
I would drop NFL tomorrow to watch Charlton in the Checkatrade but Spurs V Man City because thier owner is late building his stadium whilst trying to make more cash for his already huge pile...nah couldnt give a toss.10 -
First NFL I've watched on TV since it was on Channel 4.
Never really got into it as too stop/start and this game isn't converting me. Seems to be few sustained drives.
Is it typical or just a poor game?0 -
I guarantee the NFL have pumped more money into the FA and Wembley than Spurs.SE7toSG3 said:Yep pretty much, no need to get vexed about it, there is a huge appetite for NFL here in the UK, every game sells out and its been a regular feature at Wembley for over a decade now.

I did watch the Red Zone a couple of weeks ago and as it was all action I thought I'd give it a go.The Red Robin said:

Not having a St Louis team to "root" for doesn't help.1 -
There was until 12 months ago. The St Louis Rams moved back to LA and are currently the best team in the NFL...although a few Kansas City Chiefs fans on here may disagree with me! I expect St Louis to get a franchise back eventually though.Henry Irving said:

Last season this’d be one of the highlights of the season, this season they’ve both flopped massively and aren’t looking like competing.Henry Irving said:First NFL I've watched on TV since it was on Channel 4.

Cardinals should come home.1 -
Who is David Grinnage? Apparently he's our starting TE and I have literally no idea who he is.
We have no bite at all, and with our injuries, that won't change.1 -
Have just realised the Celtic are on TV so that's me giving up on NFL until the Cardinals come home.1
