Has anyone tried NFL Gamepass? I'm thinking about getting it this year.

I used Game Pass last year. It's pretty awesome. All the games plus Red Zone for no commercials. Just make sure you change your browser's country to something other than Canada so you pay a cheaper rate. I think the Netherlands might work.

[johnlennon]

GO DB!!!

Geno smith was being booed at practice already :rofl: . I hope Seattle falls apart & maybe see someone like the Bucs actually start winning. Time to mix it up :)

[urbannomad]

Let's go Ravens!

As a Pats fan, I have mixed feelings about this signing.

http://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/815804

The New England Patriots have reached an agreement with veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne on a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Wayne, a six-time Pro Bowler, spent the previous 14 seasons of his career with the conference-rival Indianapolis Colts. He is the franchise's all-time leader in regular-season games played (211) and ranks second in career receptions (1,070), receiving yards (14,345), and receiving touchdowns (80).

The 36-year-old will have an opportunity to face his former team Oct. 18 when the Patriots travel to Lucas Oil Stadium.

OK, no, no mixed feelings here. This is totally a WIN-WIN for me. My Pats sign one of the best WR that Indy has ever known, so no Reggie for the filthy Colts, and we pick up a well versed veteran that is still pretty awesome to flesh out our injuries at WR.

Totally stoked! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, and fuck Manning.

He should be more then that with all the wr injuries in NE.

[2Legit2Quit]

Happy Reggie signed with a team, not so much it's with the pats. Don't see him being instrumental and was sad/ok with him leaving, too many dropped balls last season and he's not getting any younger. Going to the Colts/pats game in October, shall be a gong show with all the drama outside of the game itself.

LOL, really? Even Green Bay was going after him! He obviously isn't in his prime anymore, but he is far from obsolete.

I'm a colts fan :poosie: and I like wayne, but it's time to retire. Rookies with a decent amount of football smarts will likely surpass him in no time.

[2Legit2Quit]

Green Bay was going after him because Jordy is done for the season. Reggie can contribute but it's not a game changer, wish he just retired as well.

[beecue]

Brady is back.

I signed up for gamepass last night and it seems pretty awesome.

You can watch 4 games at once. I wish I had a projector.

You still get blackouts with gamepass correct?

[beecue]

I think so if you don't use a dns switcher or vpn. I have adfreetime so it will be fine.




For users living in Canada:

All Sunday Night Football (including the NFL Kickoff game, which is played on the first Thursday of the regular season), Thursday Night Football, Monday Night Football and live playoff games are not available in NFL Game Pass for live streaming, but these games will be available in the NFL Game Pass archives shortly following their broadcast (typically within 2 - 3 hours).

The live stream of NFL Network is not available within NFL Game Pass in Canada.

Regionally or locally televised games on Sunday will be available for live streaming in NFL Game Pass, but due to broadcast restrictions will feature the Canadian telecasts instead of the U.S. telecasts for subscribers in those regions. Although the live games will feature Canadian telecasts, the NFL Game Pass game archives will feature the U.S. telecasts and be will be available shortly following the Sunday Night Football telecast (typically within 2 - 3 hours).

Make sure to use adfreetime or something similar if you are planning to sign up. It will be much cheaper. I think it's going to cost me around $145-150.

Yeah, I think everybody knew that.

But as a Brady-hater I have to say that the Judge's ruling doesn't acquit Brady of the charges. Simply that the suspension is unwarranted and Goodell fucked up.

I glazed through the 40-page ruling this morning.

Pretty much, and as a Pats fan, I can admit that.

But we all knew it was going to be overturned when no one could turn up any evidence, and the official report was finalized with the phrase "Brady must of had at least a general knowledge what was happening"

Like that would ever hold up in court that relies solely on facts.

As for deflate gate, the colts footballs had the same issue.

And there is one GLARING fact no one has addressed yet.

Who touches each and every ball between each and every play. The refs. and NONE of them raised any issues for either side. And 2 PSI in a football is a pretty big difference, and would be noticeable.

The standard of proof in the CBA closer to a civil case in that someone only needs to be "more probable than not". It's not a criminal case where the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt."

So, as the report still finds, Brady is still found to be involved in the deflating of the balls.

Where this judgement falls is that the suspension was far above and beyond the usual punishment for this kind of infraction:

Favre obstructed the League's investigation into his sexual harassment scandal and received a $50,000 fine.

The rules of the game dictate that the first offence of an equipment violation is a fine.

So the Judge basically said, in relation to the obstruction and involvement realm, there's no precedent for Brady to receive the suspension when other similar infractions have only resulted in fines.

[spikerS]

ok, that makes sense. I was not quite clear on it.

do you have a link to the judgement? I wouldn't mind skimming it too.

[austic]

Pretty much, you cant make up a punishment as you go along it has to be laid out in advance. Cut and Dry case. I think its time for the commish to step down and new blood to make some changes.

I am an Eagles Fan and as much as I Hate the Pats, 4 games was excessive.

[403ep3]

Told you so..


ESPN's Josina Anderson reports Reggie Wayne will not be a part of the Patriots' 53-man roster.
It's unclear if Wayne is being released or placed on injured reserve. Either way, it's an upset after Wayne received a $450,000 signing bonus just 11 days ago. It could be a sign the Pats are confident in Brandon LaFell's (foot) health, or simply an admission that Wayne has nothing left. Wayne was a shell of his former self for the Colts last season.

From my understanding is if you subscribe to Sunday Ticket you will get red zone however at this time you can't subscribe to red zone only. They are working on this.

[eiysa101]

i friggin love having NFL back and being able to gamble on it

[lasimmon]

$50 to subscribe to redzone all year according to my friends. Haven't looked into it yet.

[dirtsniffer]

independently? maybe that's what she was talking about.

[dandia89]

i have a "special" version of game pass, only spent $25 for the year, redzone, nfl network, all games. last year it included all 22 film, which is a steal.

I was going to sign up but they closed registration. I have the official one now which is a good price too.

Cant believe i spent my Monday night watching that shit show.

I can't stop watching this.

Collins just perfects everything.

Jamie Collins is one of the most gifted athletes in the NFL. I cannot believe how fast he is/how high he can jump etc for a big man. He was mocking the colts O-line and shadowing luck all night long.

I cant stop laughing hahahaha

Brees is about to lose with 6 tds. This is just nuts right now on redzone.

[eiysa101]

Id be mad catching 3 tds and losing...

[eiysa101]

What a fn joke if OBJ suspension is lifted. All for ratings in SNF or what? Compared to Hardy messing up his girlfriend? Smoking pot? Being generally away of deflate-gate?

Video evidence of OBJ acting like a lil bitch trying to knock off Norman's head....

[sexualbanana]

Not that I don't believe you, but I don't see anything about his suspension being lifted. Though news should be coming out about that right about now.

[sexualbanana]

Suspension Upheld (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000607922/article/odell-beckhams-onegame-suspension-upheld)

[colinxx235]

I'm still fucking rattled he wasn't tossed when he head hunted Norman. I would be in the championship if the ref had thrown him out like he deserved.

Sucked to watch that because he is a phenomenal player and all he has done is constantly improve every aspect of his game. Then decides to throw a hissy fit because the best corner in the league this season is shutting him out.

Phew - thanks for that. I saw a twitter post & thread on reddit and thought the worst.

Plus i have MIN -6 on my parlay already

[AE92_TreunoSC]

Min needs to beat OBJ-less NY or they will be a joke in post season. They really lack depth and sundays game will show a lot.

I wouldn't be in the championship had he been tossed. I'm kinda choked he's suspended, but then again I wouldn't be in the finals. Now I'm guaranteed good money.

norman shut him out mostly, but odell's post route on those two plays were deadly. one was dropped (his fault), and the other was underthrown due to a a-gap stunt from panthers dline, which forced a bad throw by manning.

rewatch the game with all-22, odell is a beast in zone defense, really smart and very fast. he probably could have had another td if manning didn't stare down nicks in the endzone.

i'm not sure who is better the receiver in the league, odell or antonio brown.

[max_boost]

Annoyed. Bandwagon Giants fan here because they beat the Pats twice and I watched them a couple times in NYC. Eli having a great season stats wise and with the messy division I thought this was the year they can make another run. It's stupid those 4th quarter choke jobs. Ugh. Oh well. Anyone but the Pats.

[eiysa101]

Thoughts after that wildcard weekend?

Cinci and Min - just wow. Cinci had that coming due to karma but they fucking intercepted it and gave them a reason to put big Ben back in there?!? Burfict better get a long suspension next year.

Vikings Walsh made us all reminisce about Ace Ventura. Laces out Dan! A fucking chipshot to take out the Seahawks man.....

KC looked good but then again, its Hoyer and they really didnt capitalize on 4 turnovers in the first half.

Also surprised Rodger looking as good as he did last night. Cant wait til divisionals.

[dandia89]

if NFL really valued safety, burfict would not be in the league anymore. pacman + burfict lost that game

Now I am just worried about Ben/Brown health for the Broncos game.

And fuck I cannot believe Walsh didn't make that. I cannot stand the seahawks and so close to putting them away

Laces in but still, when you are at that high level of play you gotta make that 30 yarder or whatever it was.

agreed. laces in only impact the distance since you are not hitting with a smooth surface. walsh's plant foot was too close to the ball, almost 100% kickers fault.

[max_boost]

So what cha think so far? Too bad about Green Bay lol how epic would that have been!!!!

[AE92_TreunoSC]

I'm hurt over the hawks not stomping newton. Really happy with how Seattle dealt with the cards it was given this year.

I hate green bay, denver and NE. So I was happy to see GB lose even though it was a crazy bomb, just like the detroit one I watched while assembling cabinets haha.

I predict Newton VS Brady this year.

[max_boost]

I hope Newton sticks it to Brady. Don't let him get a 5th ring no matter what!

:thumbsup:

[sexualbanana]

That's pretty presumptive.

[schocker]

I so sad :(
At least the seahawks came back a bit.

[kJUMP]

In my opinion, the 4 teams left deserve to be where they are. Carolina and Arizona played wicked pretty much all season. Brady is a genius and when him and Gronk connect on the fly it's magic. Broncos defence has always been strong.

Again, in my opinion, Seattle shouldn't have even made it out of the wildcard against the Vikings, it was pretty unfortunate with the missed game winning FG. Sea also sputtered pretty much all season long except for going on a bit of a run in the last 1/3.

The conference finals should be sick. NE vs DEN, ARI vs CAR. I'm predicting NE vs CAR with CAR taking it but tough to say obviously when it comes down to this. I like Cam Newton though and the team has def overachieved this season.

What do you guys think??

[austic]

I feel like CAR vs NE is the obvious pick but something tells me Denver will take New England setting up a Denver vs Carolina final.

[403ep3]

I'm hoping for a CAR vs DEN final as I am a Broncos fan.

Not so sure the broncos can beat Brady though.. especially with their offense :(

Watch out for David Johnson and the health of JStew though. If DJ gets 100+ with 20+ touches I can see ARI taking it.

[eiysa101]

I see Carolina learning their lesson against Seattle and take it to Arizona.

With Amendola, Edelman and Gronkowski all being active for the Patriots will give Brady lots of options. Denver's pass rush wont be effective if Brady is able to dink and dunk it down the field quickly. Also Hightower should stifle any running from Broncos.

http://i.imgur.com/PJvw13D.png

The only thing im thinking why NE doesnt run over Denver is Brady's record at that stadium (2-6) and Ed Hochuli being the assigned ref. Denver is 7-0 in Hochuli games while NE is 3-4. I expect alot of bad flags for both teams on Sunday

[max_boost]

Holy shit Denver D so strong but down to the wire here lol

[eiysa101]

well shit - the Pats o-line looked terrible. Go Newton i guess?

[beecue]

Broncos defence doe :D

I hope Manning goes out with another championship.

[CompletelyNumb]

I'd say Broncos are gonna take it this year based on today's games.

[gregrego]

Wore my Manning jersey and didnt move from the spot on the couch, didnt let my dog move, wife came down and brady started his come back in the 4th quarter, told her to leave the room. She left, Bronco's won.

You're welcome Bronco fans.

Would have been a different game had gostkowski hit that pat though...

SCARED for Cam Newton.... Defense needs to hold him < 30 and I think Denver has a chance.

[sexualbanana]

[beyond_ban]

As a Broncos fan, i sure hope they can magically do to the Panthers what the Hawks did to them 2 years ago. Defense wins championships, right? Right now Cam looks unstoppable, but the SB is the biggest stage and all the hype leading up to it can definitely mess with some players heads - especially when it's your first visit.

Defence is a big part of it, but that saying... Panthers defence is pretty damn good also

Panthers shredded the Cardinals who were a top notch D also.

I'm disappointed Pats lost, I think they would have made it a better super bowl matchup. Plus I also agree with the lawls of Goodell handing trophy to Brady/Bill if they had won :rofl:

[dandia89]

i feel like carolina has done so well they are gonna come out flat for the superbowl. they are so high on themselves, only losing one game this year. hopefully rivera can keep em in line.

[max_boost]

What a way to end things if Manning gets it done. i'll cheer for the Broncos since they took care of the Pats!

Valid points, but the turnovers AZ gave up certainly didn't do their D any favors. I honestly give the advantage to the Panthers at this point, but i'm still betting with my heart and putting money on the Broncos haha.

[colinxx235]

Hopefully it is still a good superbowl, I don't want a boring beat down. But I could see it happening.

Seems lots of people are big on the manning riding into sunset with a win. I loved the guy for years as a colt, carrying mediocre teams on his shoulders but now its the opposite. He has an elite defence, solid O line, top end WR, decent TEs and RB. Now I'm more happy to see the panthers who until they were double digits this season were getting labelled as flukey/lucky/weakest top team etc.

Broncos were very lucky that not only did they get home seed but that the patriots roster was smoked with injuries. Gronk is a freak of nature and you could tell between triple coverage and the altitude he was having a hard time. Yet somehow Lafell/Amendola couldn't take much advantage of it. The running game sorely missed Lewis/Blount. If the pats can land a legit tall (edelman is great but he's a slot player) WR1 they would be unstoppable on offense.

[lasimmon]

I think the Broncos have a good shot as long as they don't turnover the ball.

If they didn't have that fumble yesterday and Manning makes 2 throws they are up on the Pats 34-3. I think it could be a really good Super Bowl.

If's...

If only gostokski made that PAT, or if only they kicked 2 FG's on their 4th downs...

Goes both ways. Go Carolina!

I think they are fine with Edelman/Amendola and the tall threat of Gronkowski. The problem is the Oline. They should use their draft picks to keep Brady protected...o wait....
