Jordan Mailata played over the weekend, had a good game apparently. On Friday he signed a new contract with the Eagles. $55.5 million (US) guaranteed and additional bonus incentives. They 4 year deal could net him $108 million Aus.

Amazing. Good for him.
 
What is really outstanding about him is he had never played the game before going over a few years ago. He beat out people who have been playing the game since they were kids.
Outstanding effort.
And my Eagles got a first up win so it's a good start to the year.
 
Hey lads just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the NFL because I'm loving it. Have watched every Chargers game live since about week 3 and after getting my head around the different positional roles and rules, it's a helluva sport.

Looking forward to watching the playoffs (hopefully we make it as a wildcard) and the draft as well. Does anyone know if they show the draft live on NFL intl game pass?

Yeah draft is a huge event (with the exception of the last two covid years). Played out live over a few days, I think i was watching on Kayo but NFL game pass should have it.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it, Herbert has an absolute cannon for an arm.
 
Two games on Sunday morning for those that find it hard to watch during the week at work.

7:25am Vegas vs Cleveland
11:20 New England vs Colts (should be a good game)
 
Time to transition over here I think

How are we all feeling about our teams draft and free agency acquisitions (or losses)?

Chargers - we've turned our defence over after posting up a bottom 3 defence across most metrics last season. Big help in the secondary with JC Jackson coming in, and our edge rush goes to a new level with Khalil Mack joining Joey Bosa. Sebastian Joseph Day and Austin Johnson come in to plug the run D, with Kyle Van Noy also added as a likely edge 3. We went hard on the secondary in the draft to hopefully create some depth with CB's and Safety's taking up most the spots. With the QB quality in the AFC West, the edge rushers and secondary depth was really important.

Biggest concern for us is Right Tackle. Herbert has Zion Johnson coming in as RG but our RT options are fairly awful and I'm surprised this wasn't addressed in the free agency as well.

The expectation is that this team makes the playoffs and is competitive there too, even with a red-hot AFC West. Fingers crossed because lord knows I need it afer this Titans season
 
Definitely concentrated on their D because they haven't added any WR's. I guess they picked up Spiller 4th round RB so it will be interesting to see if they run a committee with Eckler taking the majority of downs.

Should be interesting.

Hoping Baltimore can do better this year. If Lamar can stay healthy and not catch covid 10 times
 
Really been thinking of trying to get into NFL for years. But it is a pretty alien game to me. But with a little help from some of you who are into it, I think I can do it.

I actually have had my eye on the Chargers. And HS has been encouraging me that now is a great time to get involved.

Here's your Chargers right of passage:

Watch the entire All-In documentary series from last season. You'll love it
 
So I got to meet the head coach, quarterback and General Manager in episode 1.

Chargers colours pop and I like the similarity to the Titans. Also Gold Coaster Chargers were my first Gold Coast club that I truly supported and attended matches of.

Also I've always been a fan of the West Coast and LA due to my taste of music as a teen in the 90s. :laugh: I'm pretty familiar with the West and especially as I'm pretty interested in Hollywood as well.

I'm usually against relocations but I understand it's part of America sport. And I know they moved from San Diego to LA in 2017, so are still trying to establish themselves in a traditionally difficult market for the NFL.

I'm sort of reluctant to pick one of the big teams like the Cowboys, Dolphins or Broncos. I want something with a smaller fanbase, an underdog with room to grow.

It will also be a healthy thing for me to get to know how one of the biggest sporting leagues on the planet runs and how they market and broadcast their games. I don't follow soccer either. So that is a massive blind spot for me as a sports fan and someone passionate about sports management and marketing. I should get a lot out of this.

Great series and now the same people have bought out "we own this city" Again looking at the corruption in the Baltimore police force.
 
Herbert fractured rib cartilage
Rashawn Slater out for the season
JC Jackson ankle injury (missed week 1 & 3, questionable to return)
Joey Bosa serious groin injury (long recovery stint expected)
Keenan Allen hamstring injury (missed week 2 & 3, questionable to return)
Corey Linsley knee tendonitis (missed portion of week 2, all of week 3, questionable to return)
Jalen Guyton ACL, out for season
Donal Parham hamstring injury (missed week 1, 2 and 3, questionable to return)

Unbelievable. Season over. Chargers fans already looking forward to next year.
 
I signed up for the free NFL Game Pass. The full one is pretty steep before I get a taste for it.
