When does football season "start" for you?


Recommended Posts

I don't doubt that most people will say that July is the absolute worst sporting month of the year. At least we have the World Cup this year but we all know team USA is going to get the poo beaten out of them (even if we're too riled up in our patriotism to admit it). Anyway for some people football season starts the first day of the first rookie training camp. For others it starts when the Regular season kicks off. For me? The Hall of Fame game, and believe it or not its right around the corner. What say ya'll?

I was going to say it's a great long thing for me. I don't stop following it.

I follow Greg Hardy around and insist I'm his bodyguard. At 6', 210lbs I will protect whatever he is pretty much giant size at this point.

I never stop following it but it starts to feel like football season once training camp starts. And it really starts to feel like football season when college football kicks off. Then it really really starts to feel like football season when the Panthers play their first game.

    • My point exactly. Does that mean they have a poor offense? Of course not. That is why cherry picking stats without context rarely results in an accurate and fair assessment.
    • Lotta football to go, and a lot of things can change.  Team health makes a huge difference down the road.  The big thing is and will be getting a rhythm.  2015 and 2013 are great examples.  That said, while we have a schedule, we dont really know who we're gonna play past a few weeks from now and by that I mean, like, end of october we're scheduled to play The Buffalo Bills...but between now and then, what if theres an injury to Josh Allen or just suffer a rash of injuries to any position group really.  Lots can change honestly and after 3 weeks, we're healthier than we were last year after week 3 with our only serious injuries to Hunt and Corbett (who...sorry the guy got injured, but Mays continues to outplay him).  the other injuries are short term return situations with JT Sanders, XL, and Coker.  
    • I get a lot more than you. Scheme dictates average yards per play for example. If you run a lot like Philly your average yards per play will go down versus a team that passes all the time. And if you only play 3 games  then one outlier like Jacksonville holds more weight than it should. Plus yards per play doesn't correlate to wins for example versus effectiveness in the red zone. So yeah I get it and know that stats like yards per game much like yards per play have little correlation with wins and loses and the final score is the only thing that matters at the end of the day not some BS cherry picked stat.
