2011 NFL season
Discussion
The silly warm ups are over and the season proper starts Thursday. So who's going to turn it on this year?
As a long time Pats fan I'm confident (although surprised they cut Brandon Meriweather yesterday) and expect the boys from the Gillette to be solidly in the playoffs. Could be a tough year for my new hometown Colts. I expect to see Detroit make progress and Houston to win their division for the first time.
Overall I can't wait!

Am hoping for the Ravens to get to the SB this year, but have a feeling it isn't going to happen unless Flacco stops throwing interceptions and completes on 3rd a bit more. Tickets on sale for the Wembley game on thurs too, anyone going?
Can't wait for the Steelers game on the 11th, kick off @ 1pm ET, just have to find somewhere online to watch it.

Another pats fan here but I'm not so confident, and won't be till I see a real pass rush (over to you Albert!) If San Diego had retained Ron Rivera then I'd happily nail my colours to a Chargers-NFC North final now but as ever we'll see (can't wait!)As a long time Pats fan I'm confident (although surprised they cut Brandon Meriweather yesterday) and expect the boys from the Gillette to be solidly in the playoffs.

t news about Peyton Manning eh 
fingers crossed for him
Yep, a city mourns. Most people here in Indy have resigned themselves to him missing the season. Although I am not a Colts fan I hope that they have a decent season, this city loves it's football and it dominates just about everything during the season.t news about Peyton Manning eh fingers crossed for him
On a more upbeat note, the season kicks off in 2 1/2 hours.

I was at the Texans Vs Colts yesterday. Was really good, never watched a game before, but I properly enjoyed it, the game, the occasion. It was brilliant
Colts were ste. Never turned up until the final quarter.
Needless to say I'm a convert.
It's a unique game, I love it. Peyton would have made some difference for the Colts if not for nis neck trouble, but I think the Texans still would have won handily. Rebuild time for the Colts.Colts were s

So I was lead to beleive! I'm a total rookie to the game, So still unsure of my facts, but isn't he getting on a bit? Is the right forum to ask questions? What are the yellow disks the ref throws? What does 4th and 10 mean? I Know the 4th means 4th tackle, but 10? (For example)
I've seen an episode or 2 of 'Hardknocks' which is a pretty good insight into the selection process.
'Lets eat a goddam snack!' No idea who said it, but I liked him.
