NFL 2015

<p>Didn't get to watch the game but it appears the 49ers are following the game plan they should have done last season - just run the ball and defend like hell. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In other news two of my three fantasy teams won - no thanks to the 49ers receivers :)</p> -

<p>Cap started quiet but by the second half he was playing very well sneak. One of the comms was an ex-QB based on what he was saying. And he was praising him for the most part in terms of his option reading his mechanics and his ball throwing. It just seemed like a more balance attack than last year, I for one am glad Romans is gone because he was stunting CK's development</p> -
<p>The Rex Ryan-era has begun.</p>

<p>And not a minute too soon. Fan shot & killed himself at the tailgate party outside stadium less than 12 hours to kickoff. (Yeah, for real.) Bad omens, but... police permitted the other tailgaters to keep-on partying!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1-0.</p>

<p>Andrew Luck, not so lucky.</p>

<p>Just a last point on the ridiculous lengths some reporters are going to on the Hayne thing:</p>

<p>This was up under the headline of "Hayne snubbed by rival coach" on news.com.au in their recent articles - the headline on the article itself is quite a bit longer. To summarise - Mike Tomlin mentioned Reggie Bush, Bruce Ellington, Carlos Hyde, and Colin Kaepernick as danger men - who to this relative novice, all were prominent on the game t'other day. But didn't mention the Aussie guy who fumbled, picked up a few yards, and didn't score any touchdowns, but had a fairly decent start for a rookie.</p> -

<p>Yes, a complete lack of understanding and knowledge from the author.</p> -

<p>The author is trying to appeal to a home audience most of whom don't care about the NFL. Of course he's going to try and put an Aussie interest spin on it</p>

<p>Yes, and the Aussie "spin" --- "<span style="color:rgb(41,41,41);font-family:LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;">Everyone except for Hayne, that is." -- </span>is that Mike Tomlin snubbed an Okker, which is not only stretching the truth elastic, it looks small-minded, paranoid and insecure.</p>

<p>Sunday was a busy sports day in America. You had the finals of the U.S. Open Tennis; college football, baseball pennant races, and the kickoff to the NFL season. Unfortunately in the congestion and restricted time for Sunday evening sports headlines, Lydia Ko's record-breaking win in a LPGA major missed the cut. She was not mentioned. It's a shame, yet it's hardly unexpected. I would hope that somebody like, say, Ratpoo isn't going to run to his keyboard and start pounding out conspiracy theories about Yanks snubbing Kiwis, because that wouldn't look like "Kiwi interested spin," it would just look petty & small. </p> -
<p>A few weird results overnight - wins to Tampa, Oakland, Washington, Jacksonville and Cleveland, all of whom looked dead and buried last week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Such a hard comp to tip week to week. Reckon you might see a few less 10+ win teams this year.</p> -

<p>There won't be any headlines for Hayne today after the 49ers got spanked by the Steelers.</p>

<p>My Cowboys beat the Eagles in Philly but paid a big price as Romo fractured his collarbone.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yes. Here are the stats from the game:</p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=400791630'>http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=400791630</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only 3 plays in the game.</p> -
<p>DeAngelo Williams was a real handful. Not a great rushing game by the 49ers at all. I think Kap topped the rush stats....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hayne had very limited opportunity on the punt return as well. Steelers looked the goods and I thought they were a touch unlucky last week against the Patriots. Some interesting early results to this season no doubt. </p> -
<p>Tony Romo placed on the IR/To Return list for the Cowboys meaning he can't return until week 11 at the earliest. Cowboys will go with <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.fanattitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/weeden.jpg'>former Cleveland QB Brandon Weeden</a> as their starter and have traded for QB Matt Cassel from Buffalo Bills. If the Cowboys are struggling by week 11 they'll no doubt shut down Romo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In other news the NY Jets will continue with Harvard man Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting QB for the rest of the season because it turns out Geno Smith is not a franchise QB.</p> -

<p>NRL journalists described to perfection :)</p>

<p>The article this week was "HAYNE BENCHED... <span style="font-size:10px;">and maybe the 49ers lost or something. Who cares?</span>"</p> -
SKD what the fuck?

Roosters all over the shop and up by 18 with a quarter to go
