I still kinda feel like the season might fall apart 3 weeks in, but I hope I'm wrong. I do like that everything, besides preseason games, is just going as normal without saying anything and just hoping for the best. Is it the case that if a player gets it the whole team can't play? Or just that player? Cause my bigger thing is what they do about rescheduled games. I get one or two, but if its like 5-10 that seems like a lot. When would they do them and what would they fill that time with for tv channels?

It certainly has been weird not having pre-season games. Even though they're just a gauge for some who might make the team, it's something.
9 days into fall without football? Very weird.

Hope you feel better and get well. Looking foward to see how Burrow does in Cincy and how Cam fits with NE. I am a Giants fan and have low expectations.

It's that time again, thank God! Sorry I'm tardy putting this up but haven't been well. This should be a weird season but hopefully the league will be able to pull it off. This thread has been fun in the past, so let's have some good dialog with no personal attacks. I'm feeling good about my beloved Seahawks this year. I think they are severely underrated. Most likely the NFC West will come down to SEA vs SF the final week of the season again. GO HAWKS!!!!!

What if you have a ribbon cutting ceremony for a brand new state of the art stadium, and no one shows up?

Wow, awesome looking stadium in LA. I wonder if Jerry Jones will upgrade his big screen since it's now not the largest in the world? BC Place in Vancouver had the second largest screen, now third largest.
I'm sure my Bears will finish around 8-8 again. We'll see how Trubisky plays knowing that Nick Foles is ready to step in if needed. Will be interesting to see how Newton does in NE.
Quite a number of Seahawk season ticket holders up here in BC that won't be able to attend games due to the border closure.

Ah im looking forward to this season. It has been 20 years since ive been able to just simply enjoy games and the season in general without obsessing and finding ways how each game somehow affected my beloved New England Patriots. Im ok if the pats do not make the playoffs. My attitude will simply revert back to the late 80s early 90s of just enjoying the sport without being a superfan of a team. Cant wait. I will still root for the pats but have to admit i have an eye on Tampa.

It would be delicious irony if the fountain of youth turned off for Brady in Florida.

Also weird is NBA playoffs ongoing in September!

There's a lot of talk about how deep the Saints are.
I know to take that as hype, hopes and dreams. Until 5 games in, it's nothing but that. Of course, given the talent, I hope they win it all. It's very close to the end of the Brees era regarding the possibility. It has been a lot of fun.
Brady? I have zero predictions on that because it seems he's invigorated, Tampa has seemingly risen to the challenge of giving him something to work with and, well, Atlanta will suck and as much as I liked have Teddy Bridgewater on the Saints I think the Panthers will have some issues.
Seahawks, 49ers, Packers... who knows.
Regarding the AFC, well, whatever. I haven't paid much mind to the AFC yet. The Patriots will flounder for a bit then get it together. They won't win the 2021 Super Bowl.

I'm not sure what to think about the Panthers. Will they win more than 4 games with a complete overhaul of the line up with exception to McCaffery, Moore, etc... Also can Bridgewater rise to the challenge?
