Well preseason games are starting soon, thought I'd start a new thread.

I follow the Jets. Looks like Sanchez will win the starting job from Clemens, although Clemens is starting the first preseason game, but they should get equal reps. Still a little thin at WR, but with our 3 running backs (Jones, Washington and Greene) I don't think it will be an issue.

Defense is going to be our strength. The additions during off-season and with Rex Ryan as HC means our defense are going to be blitzing like crazy and smashing offenses to bits. Really looking forward to watching our games.

Unless Sanchez lights it up in his first season I see the Jets finishing 8W 8L and missing out on the playoffs.


Hopefully OneHD show more than 2/3 games a week, but I can usually find a Jets game online somewhere.

Go the Philly Eagles

Am happy that he's getting a second chance and if he can get it done in Philly, he is truly a great player as their fans are as brutal as there is.

A lot of voices in Philly at the moment regarding Vick... talking about protests, cancelling advertising etc... one thing with the Philly people, they don't hold back.

Will be interested how he goes in the final 2 preseason games. Rumours are the NFL won't let him play regular season till week 6 or 7.

Just watched the Jets pre-season game. Sanchez threw a beautiful first pass and did well for the little time he got to play. Clemens was serviceable from his short time on the field too. I think Sanchez is ahead for the starters spot. Sanchez will start the next pre-season game against the Ravens - really looking forward to this. Ravens D vs rookie QB and their old coach. Should be good for the 10 or so plays Sanchez will get.

FAVRE TO MINNESOTA... signs two year deal worth 12 million a year. All over nfl.com, they can't get enough of this. All the Vikings games this year now become compulsive viewing especially versus the Packers (Week 4 and .

Personally I'm a Titans fan and think with an improved passing game we've got going were a massive show for the Superbowl... time will tell.. Can't wait

The Commisioner has to make his ruling by Week 6 but he can at any point up until then. I think if Vick does everything right and continues to show remorse and be humble the commish will reinstate him sooner than week 6.

OneHD better show Vikings vs Packers!

I think my torrent downloads this season are gonna go through the roof!!

Do you download the games from somewhere Westsider??

I'm always at work when theyre on tv so I just watch highlights on NFL.com but if i could download them that would be amazing...

They're hard to find, but I torrent them.

Meanwhile Chad Ochocinco (Johnson - yes the Bengal's WR) kicked the extra point after his touchdown catch in the 7-6 win over New England. Apparently their kicked had a tight groin, so Chad kicked the point himself.

Wonder if I can draft him in my fantasy team as a kicker now, hahah.

haha thats gold! he'll probably be talking that up for a while now

ah ok... how long after the games are played are they usually available? I might have to try them out this year...
