**OFFICIAL 2015 NFL SEASON THREAD**

Yeah, it's probably not that big a difference unless the kicker hooks one really bad. I only know of 2 or 3 times so far that the extra point kick was missed (Titans last week, Cardinals, someone else last week I think). Could just be because it is the preseason, but teams are going for 2 when they don't have to (Colts, Patriots, Raiders, Bills).
 
Tonight is the first nationally-televised preseason game I remember the Titans ever having. They may have had some the year after the Super Bowl, but the preseason games have always been on the local ABC affiliate. Tonight it is on the Fox affiliate. They are wearing the new home colors, which are the same as the old home colors.
 
Clowney's pops shooting in a strip club parking lot sure is flying under the radar.

http://www.tmz.com/2015/08/04/jadeveon-clowney-dad-mugshot-attempted-murder-strip-club/

NFL star Jadeveon Clowney's father got busted for attempted murder following a wild west style shooting outside a South Carolina strip club.

Witnesses at the Crazy Horse strip club in Rock Hill, SC say David "Chilli Bean" Morgan got tossed out of the club early Tuesday morning for sitting on the stage -- but things got way more heated outside.

According to cops, Morgan was hanging out near the rear exit of the club ... and opened fire on another man who was standing out there. Unfortunately for Morgan ... that man was also packing, and returned fire, hitting Morgan in the shoulder.

He survived, but cops showed up and arrested Morgan for attempted murder and aggravated assault. He's still behind bars ... with a bail hearing set for Wednesday.

I know some people that know some people.....and the "another man" was the security guard that threw him out. Guard was armed and returned fire.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It wouldn't be a New England Patriots game without some drama involving off-the-field strategy.

Pittsburgh Steelers coaches were upset that their coach-to-coach headsets picked up the Patriots' radio broadcast in the first quarter of Thursday night's game.

Blake Jones, NFL director of football operations, went down to the field to help out with the headsets. The league described the reception problem as "intermittent'' and it was believed to be resolved early in the second quarter.

Because it was not a complete system failure, New England's coaches were not required to shut down their headsets during the repairs.

The Patriots scored first in the game, on a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski in the second quarter.

Oh, yeah, I'm liking the Chiefs' new offensive line so far. A lot. Thank God John Alt can finally take that bag off his head and show his face again.

But (sorry guys) I still like the defense better. Just damn!

Edit: JUST IN: JUSTIN HOUSTON BURIES HOUSTON!

So, the defender interferes with Maclin, he makes the catch anyway but bobbles it a bit, the play is reviewed, and it's ruled incomplete but the pass interference doesn't get called.

Refs need to throw flags on pass interference even if the ball gets caught.
 
Broncos travel to KC for Thursday after playing the Ravens later today. Curious to see how the team does with a new coaching staff and offensive line. They weren't running the ball that well in preseason and Manning didn't lead them to a single touchdown. Chiefs have an excellent shot at the division this year. Chargers aren't that impressive and the Raiders... well, the are the Raiders. Always underperforming to expectations.
 
Hey, CBS. Now that we saw absolutely nothing happen in D.C., because the game we were in the middle of was 'too boring', can we at least see highlights of Houston's attempts at a comeback before we go to Denver? :confused: :mad:
 
Houston kicks 47 yard field goal- 27- 20 with 1:23 remaining.
Onside kick covered by KC- runs out the clock.

I see Chiefs were scoreless after five minutes left in second quarter.

Glad that one's in Arrowhead. Much as I'd like to get the obligatory visit to The Airless Stadium out of the way, going from sea level on Sunday to the tundra line on Thursday is a bit much.

Better to go right after our bye week, so there's plenty of time to acclimate. Which, in fact, is exactly what will happen.

Oh, and nice to see you finally hedging your bets... :D

Amazing how much better Smith--or any quarterback--looks behind a real offensive line.

I was certainly more positive last year but this year there have been a lot of changed and Manning is getting older. He was struggling a lot at the end of last season- and that could start earlier this year. Plus the all new coaching staff- that nearly always sets a team back at least two years in terms of development from where they were. Combine that with a tougher schedule based on their finish last season and it will be very hard for Denver to get back to the Super Bowl. I will enjoy it if they do- but don't expect it this year. Probably challenge for the division title but not necessarily win it. An early exit from the playoffs if the make it. But it is a long season and a lot can happen. Good and bad.
 




Doubt it will be so easy against the Texans, Bills or Colts, but maybe next week against the Browns.
