OT: American footy thread

Chromecast works beautifully.

Not just for gamepass but also YouTube, soundcloud, mixcloud and any other online video which is compatible.

Shame the Nrl app doesn't support it. I use an mhl cable which does the job.

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna try Plex and run it through the PS4,

If this fails then I might have to look at chromcast (I want to try and avoid this as I have spent enough on the game pass).

A procession of the worlds biggest humans just trundled past in Heathrow airport. Indianapolis Colts jackets on. They were swiftly followed by what I can only assume were the cheerleaders. Either that or it's against the rules to have an ugly wife as an nfl player.

Damn they were big.

I've finally picked my NFL team to support.

I stayed up to watch them play and they were f**king awful until the 4th quarter and almost pulled of a win. Their defence is atrocious......it's going to be a long year.

Ok

 

[Avenger]

Ok

hahahah

 

[strider]

Tell us who it is ffs

I was a 49ers fan in my teens, so i will always have a soft spot for them

 

[Avenger]

Pittsburgh Steelers. I fell in love with the city when I stayed there for work earlier in the year. The people there are friendly, I experienced no racial tension and they are sporting mad. I also have a soft spot for the 49ers. They remind me of the Eels. Huge in the retro era with a general in Joe Montana. Very Sterlo like.

 

[strider]

Ohhh yeah i remember u saying it back then ... they are kicking ass on espn as we type

The Niners suck.
They just suck so damn bad.
It's upsetting me.

welcome to the Chip Kelly era.

the same 10 plays done at the speed of light over and over again. Doesn't matter if they don't work, he'll just keep running them.

Defence facing a massive amount of snap per game which will lead to an end of season meltdown.

don't let him control the roster cause he'll trade or cut your most talented players cause he can't work with them.

 

[Pazza]

sorry, I'm an eagles fan. glad to see chip gone .

 

[Gronk]

I am unable to follow a NFL team whilst they continue to lick their fingers during play.

The defence is horrible no matter how long they spend out there.
I see the value in Chip's system, but you need a quality roster in order to pull it off.
Your defence needs to make stops to get off the field, and your offense needs to extend drives to wear out the opposition. Chip has nothing to work with here.

I never saw him as the right fit for the team. At least he doesn't have control over the roster. There's no way Jed York and Trent Baalke will let him. Problem is it doesn't matter because Baalke has no idea what he's doing either.

 

[T.S Quint]

How 'bout those Bills, Ron?

Its funny that when Chip was in Phili the eagles defence couldn't make many stops themselves. Not only did they have to face a huge amount of snaps per game but Chip arrogance had the Eagles playing a 3 - 4 base defence with 4 - 3 personal. Chip claimed that 3 - 4 defences caused his offence the most amount of trouble so he wanted to practice against one. Forget the fact the eagles had an embarrassment of riches on the D Line either playing OLB, 2 gapping or sitting on the bench. Jim Schwartz has taken largely the same group of players and they look elite so far.

Im not trying to rag on the 49ers, im just trying to share my experiences as a Eagles fan loving on the Peterson/Wentz era

Mate, rag on us all you like.
We deserve it.

I am liking what Phili is up to ATM.
Always liked the Eagles for some reason.

Chip lead the eagles to two 10-6 seasons. Then team seemed to work Chip out. Its like every team knew what he was going to play call the backhalf of his second season. It was depressing to watch. The amount of 3 and outs and the defense back on which was left gassed.
Chips 1st round draft choices both just about busts. Marcus smith certainly is. Aghlahor is debatable. His first year I am not sure how much say CHIP had in the picks. Lane Johnson has turned out ok and Zach ertz was a great pick up in the 2nd round.

But Chip did tear apart our roster. Made some odd draft picks in Bradford and Murray and Maxwell for big $$$

All 3 players where booted as soon as chip left along with Alonso. And they started to re build the roster.

Chip has some good ideas but is also arrogant. It will be interesting how long San fran give him thou. And to what degree he has learnt from the past.

Niners are 40 mil under the cap, balkey must be tanking to get draft picks for the next 5 years.
