Yes but some matches will be switch channels, as the rights to the matches recently changed hands in the US. Differnet channels now have the rights to the Sunday matches and Monday night match.

yeah bloody confusing, last tuesday i was watching the monday night countdown and then they didn't even show the game.

in nz they are showing: (nz time) on espn

friday 1pm new england vs oakland
monday 12.25pm baltomore vs colts
tuesday 1pm falcons vs eagles.

with pre game coverage before that.

The channel changing stuff occurs next season (2006 season) razor. This season will be the same as last.

Can we make this a sticky? ie someone post the games foxtel will be showing for the upcoming week.. I remeber last year the format was something like
Monday morning: 2 games on fox sports
Monday midday: Sunday Night football on ESPN
Tuesday midday: Monday night football on ESPN

I agree that would be tops. I cant wait for it to start.

the dicknoses at foxsports are only showing one game on monday mornings the first three weeks.

and in the 3rd week the game isn't even live and it overlaps with nfl primetime and the game on espn.

i sent a strongly worded (but polite) email to their feedback about their poor service for nfl fans the last couple of years and apparently this year as well.

it might be an idea if others do it as well so they know alot of people are pissed off.

they usually reply when you ask them a question but not when you rant.

So this year its still basically NFC on FOXSPORTS and AFC on ESPN.

All you need to know, FOOTBALL STARTS FRIDAY!!!

 

[Mal Meninga]

Not necessarily. "NFC on FOX" you're correct, however AFC games are generally shown on CBS. I'm looking forward to the Eagles Falcons game the most... And hopefully the 49ers aren't that sh!te.

Yeah CBS, and CBS games get shown on ESPN (Australian ESPN..)

I think the 49ers will be alright this season, Alex Smith is a gun.

Anyone watch "Hey Rookie! Welcome to the NFL." last Thursday on ESPN?
It followed Alex Smith, Cadillac Williams, Antrell Rolle and Matt Jones from a few days of the draft all the way to the end of pre-season. I thought it was a great insight to see how these young guys handle the pressures of living up to huge expectations and gives an idea of who these players really are.

In camp and pre-season, Smith looked lost. Didn't know the plays very well(Calling left, right, and visa versa) when calling the plays while admitting that when he looked downfield he didn't really know what to expect. His coach at Utah, Urban Meyer said he needs to be comfortable in an offense or otherwise he wouldn't succeed, and it showed where he looked frustrated in both camp and pre-season.

Cadillac was always gonna be Grudens pick. At the combine, Gruden gave him kind words saying we don't care what you run we'll see you on draft day, allowing Cadillac to run a solid time. It also showed him at the senior bowl, footage we in Oz rarely see. He seems like the most happiest man on the planet, a smile on his face everytime he speaks. Gruden is on his crotch the entire show.

Rolle is shown to have backpedal problems, I can't believe a top 10 pick has problems backpedalling.. Anyways to me he seems alot more confident, a cocky character. Missed camp, while getting burned by Fitzgerald in camp on 2 huge bombs gave him abit of humility. But what he did bring was enthusiasm on game day, he seems like a Ray Lewis type character, hate the words he says, but to his team mates they'd breathe it.

Matt Jones was probably the best peice in the show. He stayed at home, eating Nachos at home and I think that was his gorgeous girlfriend by his side. They showed him fishing, just doing regular Joe type things. He told of his experiences from his move to WR, how he just didnt feel like he was in the game sometimes. He's such a raw player, but his athleticism shown could make him a monster.

I've missed this show a couple of times over the past few years, finally able to catch one.

 

[camsmith]

Yeh its pretty good, i watched it last year.


Its a good insight on what the rookies go through. I love those NFL Films!

 

[J-Man]

Matt Jones looks like he has awesome hands.

Was it NFL films? Either way NFL films are awesome to watch.
Who did they preview last year? I think I caught Duanta Robinson(I think that's his name from the Texans) who ended up being a gun from last year, the rest i'm not so sure.

As for Matt Jones, wasn't one of his problems is where to position his hands?
