2019 NFL Thread

[Hugoagogo]

New season, new thread. Here's a couple stories with CFL connections

NFL kickoff in Winnipeg in 15 days is on pace to fill IG Field at 27 PERCENT CAPACITY.

The Oakland Raiders will battle the Green Bay Packers in front of just 8,944 fans.

Cheapest single tickets currently available: $191.50 including parking and applicable fees. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/KcyWdsPaYA

Ravens offense gonna shock the world.

August 7th.

That is all.

[Esks1975]

In a good way?

I truthfully think the Ravens have a massive range (12-4 and 4-12 are both very possible), but the man who ran the Colin Kaepernick offense in 2012 is running Lamar Jackson's offense now. Very similar skill set. Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst is going to be a great TE combination. They added 3 guys who run sub 4.4's in Brown, Boykin and Hill. Ingram can be a bell cow. They're gonna be a lot of fun to watch and everyone is sleeping on Jackson.

The only thing I'm sure about in that division is that the Bengals will finish last.

And Rapistburger will somehow still cause drama.

As a Redskins fan I have two words.....f*** Dallas no wait that's not it I was going to say no comment...sorry force of habit

Duke Williams was targeted twice but had zero catches in his first preseason game for Buffalo. Someone on the radio the other day (I believe Buffalo sport media) said that Williams was in tough for a roster spot, saying his style of game is not a fit with the Bills offense - take that for whatever it is worth.

Bryant Mitchell and Brandon Zylstra get their first shots of the year Friday night. Hopefully they can have better results.

Sounds like Duke made an impression tonight. Don't know if it's enough, but have to think with the change to a single cut-down this year, he's going to get the full camp to change minds.

Typical Duke. Good for him.

Tough news for Bryant Mitchell. Carted off the field in the Buccaneers pre-season game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a left ankle injury. Terrible news. #Eskimos #CFL

Update on Bryant Mitchell. Reports say he suffered a torn Achilles in the Bucs pre-season game against the Steelers. Just awful news. #Eskimos #CFL

On the note of ticket prices...I just got tickets to a preseason game between the Titans and Patriots this weekend for $51 USD - taxes and fees included.

Absolutely ludicrous prices in Winnipeg.

[Uncle Bobby]

Absolutely ludicrous prices in Winnipeg.

Yes. I see they dropped the lowest price to $94. Best seats are at $439. We'll see if that changes by tomorrow as there are still thousands of seats left and no commitment to play Rodgers.

I guess people in Winnipeg aren't as dumb as Rider fans make them out to be.

[Jtuck09]

^I think the drama queens have left Pittsburgh to be honest with you...

A reminder that the Packers/Raiders pre-season game will be on TSN Thursday night.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Hearing it cost over a million dollars to transform the field. Goalpost size, to placing them, marking the field ,etc.

[OK14]

Saw this on YouTube tonight from a Titans fan. Seriously funny stuff.

It's like a personified version of RiderFans.

So the NFL preseason game in Winnipeg is only being played on an 80 yard field because there are concerns with the patches that are covering the holes where the CFL goalposts stand.

What a joke. I would be straight up furious if I wasted money on this sham.

I have to say, I can't stop laughing about this

[Esks1975]

Why wouldn't it be a 90 yard field?

[glenvb]

I guess the goalpost holes are at both ends. So the "goal line" is the 10 yard line, and the "back of the end zone" is the goal line.

What are they going to do about field goals? They bought new expensive posts that were installed at the back of the end zone...which is now ten yards BEHIND the back of the end zone!

This is one of the most bizarre things I've seen in a football game.

[Hugoagogo]

Man, I'd hate to be sitting in the endzone for this one. You're probably 40 yards from the closest play on the field.

I'm sure Oakland didn't want to risk playing on an uneven playing surface

[SKIP12]

A bit embarrassing for the CFL and especially Winnipeg for sure with playing on a 80 yard field. Question.... I would assume the NFL would have examined the playing field. If this was a concern with the holes from the CFL field gold posts, could have they not noticed before 30 minutes to kick off and had time to correct....

I get confused just watching this game with the end zone starting on 10 yard line...

[glenvb]

Doesn't have anything to do with the CFL. But whoever planned and organized this thing didn't pay enough attention.
