2022 NFL Thread

watched the first episode of the new HBO Hard Knocks featuring the Detroit Lions. Initial impressions: Dan Campbell might actually be a decent coach and Penei Sewell and Aidan Hutchinson both look like legit corner stone pieces on their OL and DL for the next decade. Knock on wood.

And Okudah finally looks like a dude.  If he and Sewell are what they appear to be, and Aiden can contribute as a rookie and be a stud by next year, we might really have something.

It would be nice.  Guy can’t catch a break on health. He is currently splitting 1st team reps with Harris- who washed out at safety and is just learning Corner. I think Campbell is sending a clear message.

James White retired today.

it's one play vs the 1's in the beginning of the 1st QTR in a meaningless pre-season game, but damn looks just like his college tape....and that's vs Jake Matthews a former top 10 pick himself and 7-8 year vet who has made a couple Pro Bowls in.

Ha! If there’s one franchise/city that deserves a winner it’s either the Detroit Lions or Cleveland Browns. These fans/cities have suffered enough you’d think.

Jordan Love taking preseason snaps for the Packers last night. Is there an athlete we've had to hear more about yet so far see so little of on the field?

Love's stat-line was atrocious, btw: 13/24; 176 yds; 2 TDs; 3 INTs. In preseason no less.

Hit two to a kind of underachieving Badger and the fans on one message board are convinced the staff didn’t know how to scheme them up.

Gruden is an idiot lol. Bucs got a Super Bowl in 2020, a playoff run in 2021, and probably another Super Bowl trip and a for sure playoff run at min in 2022. Raiders?

With the Thursday Night games scheduled as “PRIME VIDEO” on the broadcast listings, does anyone know how this works? If it’s streaming only? Especially for the bars? I watch Thursday night games at the bars and wonder if someone has to connect Amazon’s streaming into their walls of flat screens.

Edit - Amazon Prime signs deal with DirecTV to air ‘Thursday Night Football’ games in bars, restaurants: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/23/amazon-signs-deal-with-directv-to-air-thursday-night-football-games-in-bars.html

I just hope my sports bar figures it out before Indianapolis plays Denver on the first October Thursday.

if the deal is w/ Direct TV, I'd guess it's coming over the satellite feed

but satellite providers like Dish and Direct many times require a broadband connection so who knows?
