Before the draft I think the Pats had 45 of the 54 resigned for this season. Big favourites for this next season already.

The offense looks incredible. It already was but with the additions of Burkhead, Cooks, Gillislee and Allen (so far) wow. Unmatched firepower. If Gronk stays fit they will lead the league for sure, even if he doesn't they probably will. On the defense the re-signing of Butler and Hightower was crucial and the addition of Gilmore, Ealy and Guy plus the draft signings mean that an already strong D is stronger.

The fact that they didn't trade Jimmy G makes me think we're going for 6 this year and then TB12 will bow out with 6 rings and the undisputed title of G.O.A.T.

I'm quietly optimistic to be truthful, I'm very happy with our draft and our Free agency signings. It is a very tough division though.

The fact that the Raiders just got Marshawn Lynch out of retirement means you lot can all just not bother turning up for the season. Thank you.

I don't really understand why they've done this (apart from the hometown boy shtick). Beast mode was fairly ineffective in his last season in Seattle. I know he had some injuries but 400 yards rushing at 3.8 and 3 TD isn't going to scare many teams. And then a year on the sofa. They would have been much better off signing LeGarrette Blount.

Supposedly he was carrying injuries that last season.

I'm sceptical about it tbh but, he does provide quite a different option from Washington and Richard who are both smaller shifty type runners, Richard as an UDFA last season was awesome.

As a Seahawks fan I'm rooting for Marshawn Lynch to thrive in Oakland, I don't expect he will, though.

He had a very disappointing 2015 for us, unfortunately its rare you can get an effective RB at his age, they have too much contact, especially the way he runs! Hope I'm wrong!

That Seattle line wasn't great though. If he averages around 4 ypc over a season I'd think that would be pretty good.

I was thinking the same. Watching Saints vs Dolphins, and Vikings vs Browns this season which will be great.

Yep... looking forward to it here as well, still hoping to get an unwanted ticket to a Wembley game or two, if not then it'll be next season before I see another live game as I've no USA travel plans this season.

Keep an eye out for the resale of tickets nearer the time. The clubs hand back unsold tickets and can be picked up at face value

Is anyone else suffering through the transition of Game Pass to a new company? It's been such an appalling experience so far. I am shocked they're expecting the full £140 for this product frown It's ruining the run up to the season for me and many others.
