The new NFL season is upon us. Anyone got any thoughts
As a 49ers fan Im happy now Bosa is signed up but still think Eagles will be the team to beat in the NFC

Really looking forward to it. The new season seems to come around quicker every year. Mind you that might have something to do with the first NFL star I remember watching was John Riggins, when Channel 4 first started proper coverage about 40 years ago. As a Pats fan, it rather looks like they have become the team I first started supporting all those years ago. You have reminded me not to look at the Sports pages until I have watched the Thursday/Sunday/Monday night games the following morning. (Too old to watch anything other than the early Sunday night games live anymore. )

39 years and still hoping the Fins 🐬🐬🐬 give it a go.
Must be last chance for Tua if he takes any more blows to the head as well.
Need someone to maximise the potential of Hill and Waddle.
I guess we'll start well and fade badly as always.

Chiefs fan, since around 2000, so no glory hunter. I don't think they're going to do that well this year, even with Mahomes and Kelce, they just seem lacking in other areas to be a serious contender. I don't think they'll make it to the Conference game this year.
For me it's the Eagles to win it.

Good grief! 40 years since Christmas started coverage, where did my life go? I started to support the Brown's because of Stoke representing Cleveland as the Cleveland Stokers, I lived in Marton-in-Cleveland at the time, and I wanted to support a club with a long tradition in the game like Stoke. So no glory hunting for this dawg then. Back in those Ch4 80s coverage days every second person was a Dolphins fan and Marino was king. Woof, woof.

Yeah everyone seemed to be Dolphins or Bears back then. I opted for 49ers cause of the colours, then they won the SB within a couple of years! I looked a glory hunter ha ha Would imagine following Cleveland has been similar to following Stoke, a tough old ride!

Go on Bills
Took part in my first NFL fantasy this year through work.
Could be fun or could be Yanks taking full advantage of my ignorance.

Another reason I picked the Brown's was because I worked in the steel industry. So I had work colleagues supporting the Bears and Steelers, all three being steel cities. Naturally when I found out Brown's fans are all mad, I stuck with them through thick and thin. What thick? Woof, woof.

I just 'support' whoever is in my FF team, so this year I'm cheering on the G-men (Due to having the Danny Dimes/Waller stack) and the Falcons (Bijan about to rip this league up like 2006 LT!)

The Pack for me 🟢🟡
Not a cat in hell's chance this year.
Head says Chiefs, but if it's not Green Bay I'd like one of the Benglas/Bill's to get over the line.
*wild card pick would be the Chargers.

Chiefs started as I expected and looked pretty ordinary compared to previous seasons, particularly with Kelce out. That error by Toney proved costly in the end. I think they're going to struggle a bit this season.
Great result for the Lions though.

I enjoyed that start. If it carries on like that should be a great season. Mind you I was expecting Mahomes to produce a bit of magic when KC were 4th and miles towards the end of the 4th. And with it being The Lions I half expected them to fumble the last kneel down and for KC to run in the winning score.

Well an interesting first weekend
Delighted with the 49ers, Brock looks nicely over his injury
No lover of the Cowboys but that has to be the result of the weekend…very surprising for the Giants given how good they were last year
Green Bay certainly have Chicago’s number. Still think the Bears coukd go well this year
