Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything on your mind from last weeks game, anything for the upcoming game against the Raiders or team or player…
Happy Football New Year!! We have finally made it through another long, grinding offseason to kick off the 2026 NFL Season. I have enjoyed the offseason content that…
A statement released by Billy Ray Smith’s family said that he “faced his long journey with dementia caused by CTE with unmatched bravery, dignity, and strength.”
The news came with the shock that his declining health had been preciously protected by the people who knew him best; the people who knew that Billy Ray’s gregarious laughter, his firm handshake, his personification of Southern Californian sunshine could no longer rise to the standards he had lived his oversized life by.

All but certain I’m headed out from VA for a game this year. Currently looking at either the Jets (11/22) or Pats (11/29). Would love to meet up…
It’s nearly that time! Thought I’d create a space where we can talk/track TC news. Who will win the starting LG position? Will an extension get done for…
I think CB and LB will both be fairly early targets. Here’s Brugler talking 2027 LB draft options. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7461530/2026/07/23/nfl-draft-2027-preseason-rankings-linebackers/?source=athletic_targeted_email&source=athletic_targeted_email&campaign=18078211&userId=12566676
