Why not?
Wanted to drop a tech review for you guys. Got tired of having to scramble to watch Giants game, but am too much of a cheapskate to pay for Sunday Ticket. So I was reading about NFL Game Pass, only $100. Big catch is, you can't watch live. You get access to all games, but only after the 3:30 games get over. For me this is not a huge problem, I would regularly DVR Giants games and watch later b/c fuck commercials. Also, I work a lot of Sunday's and then later in the fall I hunt a lot of Sunday's. So the idea of not being able to watch live was not a huge problem to me. Anyhwo, the BEST feature by far is they have the condensed version of every game available when they go live, meaning no commercials and no bullshit in between plays. Just play after play after play. They do show key replays and reviews, as well as show the ref announcing any penalties (like when the Giants got a tripping penalty on their first offensive play of 2018, good times!).
I feel like I will watch a ton more games this way. They also have the full broadcast in HD, as well as coach's ALL-22 film, which is really nice if you are a football nerd. I am not that into it, but it's cool to watch for a while.
I think the NFC East will be a tough division again. Eagles obviously are great, but it's hard coming off the Super Bowl season. Cowboys will be tough, if Dak can stop sending out dick picks long enough to learn to read NFL defenses. Giants offense looks better with OBJ and Saquan in the mix. Not sure if their defense is going to cut it though.

Eagles will be incredible once Wentz comes back

Eagles will be incredible once Wentz comes back True, he will be fresh. I think its clearly their division to lose, but I think one other team gets in the playoffs.

I personally like your Giants to finish 2nd. Dallas stinks, and the Redskins aren't any good imo

I use GamePass as well. I don't live in the state of my favorite team so they're almost never on free TV. My only problem with it is that I find that the 10am games (PST), when my favorite team plays, aren't availble to be watched on GamePass until the evening games are done. That means I'm not able to watch even the free TV games live because the damn ticker tape at the bottom shows the scores from all the other games. I also have to avoid the internet to avoid spoilers, so I can't follow along with what's going on in real time with the rest of the league.
It's absolutely better than not being able to see the games at all so I'll take it. I should just be a goober and like my local teams so I can watch them for free, but fuck the 49ers and Raiders!

Yeah, that's the problem, but hell the Giants play half their games in primetime so that shouldn't be too big of a deal for me. I am never going to root for the Titans. As a firm Memphis backer in the Memphis vs. Nashville blood feud I won't ever back them or any Nashville shit for that matter. My 2nd team is the Saints, so I get to watch a fair amount of their games, for example the pants shitting they are currently doing vs. the fucking BROWNS!!!

Being a fan of a 2nd team is soooooo weird True, I don't follow them super closely, but my best friend is a hardcore Saints fan, like a "knows who is on the practice squad' hardcore fan. So I hear about them all the time. Giants looked like shit so far. But after all that only down 13-0, but their offensive line is BAD. So, so bad.

Giants got that first W. The offense looked like I had hoped it would, granted it was against the Texans. Fuck man, JJ Watt is a beast. Hopefully the Giant O-line can continue to improve, they looked LOADS better this week. Tough game vs. Saints now though.
LOL @ Cowboys.

At bar trivia last night one question was name the 4 current undefeated NFL teams. Missed the Chiefs. Surprising 3-0 start for them.
The extra question was what team holds the record for longest regular season win streak in NFL history. We guessed Pats b/c of course it was them...WRONG. Fucking Peyton-era Colts have the record at 21 I think.

Giants looked like they did when they weren't playing the Texans. Weak defense, inconsistent offensive line play, etc. Eli just doesn't have the arm strength to get out of bad situations any more. 1-3 is pretty bleak. Next three are @panthers, vs. Eagles, and @falcons. 1-6 VERY likely.
