It's now August and I was wondering when the NFL pre-season games were going to start. I know the 1st one is the Hall of Fame Game. It's been a long time since the Super Bowl and I have missed football!

I must admit I haven't watched much since the Lambs left STL, and not that much in the previous few years because they were terrible.
I still try to tune in to close games with 5 minutes to go though. I'm just too busy to watch 3-6 hours

I believe the first pre season games start this weekend.
There was a game last night - Houston and somebody. Meant to watch it, but. . . .

I believe the first pre season games start this weekend. There was a game last night - Houston and somebody. Meant to watch it, but. . . . It was Houston and Carolina. Carolina won but it was a close thing. Most of the games are on the NFL Network, if not live then rebroadcast. My Skins are playing the Ravens tonite on (I think) the Fox network. Looking forward to that!  |

My Giants are on tonight, too.
Sports season is back!

Jack, our teams aren't doing too well thus far in pre-season: 0-2! I watched the Giants last nite and they looked pretty terrible against the Browns (would you believe)!  |

Nope, they sure aren't!
I saw the game, too - the Giants didn't look good at all.
The Browns look like they have a lot of young talent. They might be good in a year or two.
Haven't seen a Redskin game yet.

Last night I saw some of Redskin - Packers. I thought the Skins looked pretty good when they had their starters in.
Looking around the league, I can already see that injuries will have a big effect. Miami lost QB Ryan Tannehill for the year.

We've been through 3 weeks of preseason games now.
One thing to watch for: Friday is cut down day. This year, teams could keep 90 players on the roster up to now, and have to cut down to 53 players on Thursday. Cut down day always has some surprising players getting cut, and a flurry of roster moves as teams try to pick up players cut by other teams.

Yeah, I guess you could call it organized chaos! My skins finally won a pre-season game, beating the Bungles. I do believe the NFL East is going to be between the Eagles and the Cowgirls this year.  |

I think the NFC East is going to be a tough division this year. You'd have to call the Cowgirls the favorites, but I wouldn't bet money on any of the teams. Seems to me they could all win it, or finish last.
