    What record does everyone predict for the Texans next season? Back to certs for the division from 2-14 with JJ and Clowney in tandem or not?

    They still don't have a franchise QB so I'd expect an improvement but not much of one.

    Good point, in ideal world it would have been cool but they couldnt get Clowney AND Manziel.

    Feel a bit gutted for the latter but I do have a soft spot for the Browns with them sucking so bad lol.

    The Texans have been the number 1 team imo last few seasons for having the most balanced Offense and Defense before they imploded last season, can see it being all defense this season but also cant wait to see the Seahawks D and the Eagles offense in action.

    Seahawks the team to beat with that balance I was on about.

    I think they could have got Manziel with a trade, they would only have had to go up 11 spots to get him, whether that would have prompted Cleveland to do something I don't know. Surprised they didn't take anyone unless they've got someone lined up in a trade.

    There are very, very few QB's drafted that far down who go on to do anything. Tom Brady always gets quoted, but there's not many to go with him.

    Any interest on here in possibly doing a small draft/league if there's enough interest?

    Quick heads up, there's some NFL action on Sky this weekend, Saturday night/Sunday morning!

    They are showing live RedZone coverage of week 3 of the preseason on Sky Sports 2 starting at 12 midnight until 5 am on Sunday morning.

    On just now.

    Not sure whether to watch it or watch the Colts - Saints game that is on tv here.

    Enjoyed watching the preseason RedZone, it's a pretty good way of covering the preseason I think. I wouldn't have wanted to watch a full game of anyone other than my team so being able to dip in and out of 8 games kept it interesting. The only negative was the homer commentary teams because these were locally covered games rather than national ones.

    The big news of the night looks like being the injuries to Sam Bradford and Wes Welker. Bradford at least doesn't seem as serious as first feared while Welker suffered another concussion which must be very worrying for his future.

    Ouch, after initial reports that Bradford's injury was not believed to be too serious it now looks like he has in fact torn his ACL and is out for the season.

    Think we may have seen the last of Sam Bradford as an NFL starter, can't see the Rams renewing his contract.

    Season finally begins tonight!

    Bit gutted as I've got to be up at the crack of dawn so no chance I'll be catching this one live.

    It's a case of record and watch half before and half after work.

    Only for the Patriots will I stay up overnight!

    Impressive start for the Seahawks last night. Got to be feared again.

    Is everyone else playing for second place? :o

    Seahawks looked unstoppable last night, barring injuries how can they be beaten?
