NFL 2015
-
<p>I watched a bit of College football over the weekend. God College football is awesome, it's just all offense. Clemson v North Carolina yesterday, especially in the 2nd half, felt like every possession ended in a touchdown. Clemson won, to remain the #1 ranked team in the country, but NC were short-changed with a final penalty on a short kick-off they actually recovered, but were incorrectly called offside. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could you imagine this place if finals places were decided by committee?</p> -
The atmosphere at those big college games are something else too.<br><br>
Gotta love the blue field of Boise State -
<p>yea, the huge crowds, the big bands, it sounds great on TV. </p>
-
<p>I've been to a few Big Ten college football games but always preferred college basketball for atmosphere.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, attending a game at a venue like The Horseshoe (Ohio State Stadium), Michigan's stadium in Ann Arbor or at Alabama would be a fantastic occasion. These stadiums have capacities in excess of 100,000 and are always full.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>College football is HUGE, both in terms of fan support and revenue. It's interesting that only about 2% of the players actually make it to the NFL so there is a huge untapped resource for USA rugby.</p> -
<p>Carolina is now 13-0 and Cam Newton must have the MVP wrapped up.... if only cause the NFL won't give the award to Brady.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>49ers lost to the Cleveland Browns today. Fire everybody within a five-mile radius of the team.</p> -
<p>'72 Dolphins can crack out the champagne yet again after Carolina lost to Atlanta to end their perfect season. But more importantly I can crack out the champagne after winning the TSF fantasy football comp :)</p>

<p>There goes CKap to Eagles now that Kelly has been fired. Bradford will be looking for a new team, most likely as a back up....what a bust. Tbh about Murray - he's a slightly above average RB who had one season behind a stellar o-line.</p>
-
<p>And somehow the Broncos end up top seeds and clinch homefield advantage. Which is nice, we get to go 1-and-done at home i guess.... </p>

<p>Regular season is done, and it's firing time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomsula at the Niners = goooorne</p>
<p>Pettine at the Browns = goooorne (as well as the GM).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A few more look like the will be out by the end of the week</p> -

<p>Thank Christ!!!! :good: :greeting:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was a tad worried the owners would stick with him after the win today. Tomsula should have never been a head coach, he was way out of his depth through out the season and it is still confusing why they went with him for their internal hiring instead of Vic Fangio. Wonder if they will take the Stanford route again and interview David Shaw.... the GM also has to go too as he has sucked at drafting talent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Browns are just do their traditional end of season thing so meh.</p> -

<p>You're missing the point:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>HOW WILL THIS AFFECT JARRYD HAYNEPLANE????!!!!!</p> -
<p>Expect some more coaching changes in the next few days/weeks (e.g. Coughlin, Pagano). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd like to see the Panthers win through but Seattle will be tough in the NFC. Can the Bengals finally win a playoff game? The Steelers are the darkhorse in the AFC.</p> -

<p>He's goooonnnneee. New head coach, if they get a decent one, will clean house of any project players regardless who it is.</p>

<p>Coughlin has retired and Pagano just got a contract extension with the Colts.</p> -

<p>lol, congrats on winning your division vikings, you get a match against the seahawks..</p>
<p>they were better off losing and having an away game against the redskins</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>As Seattle beat the Cards, a Pack win would have meant the Vikings would play Green Bay again, not the Redskins. That's the quirk of the NFL seedings and tie breakers. I know what you mean though as the Redskins were only the best in a woeful NFC East.</p>
