How do you guys watch the games? I record them off of DTSV, or I just access NFL.com/mobile on my cellphone and ''watch'' it via live text updates.

I stream most of the games via online tv services. There are often multiple streams with various bit rates.

Get NFL Game pass http://gamepass.nfl.com

Stream all live games in HD. It's like $300 but well worth it. NBA and NHL have similar service but at like half the price of the NFL. All of them worth it.

Now even Tennis has one(tennis.tv).

Lol I love the internet.

But lets go COLTS and Saints!

With regards to a QB;
- No defensive player may run into a passer of a legal forward pass after the ball has left his hand (15 yards). The Referee must determine whether opponent had a reasonable chance to stop his momentum during an attempt to block the pass or tackle the passer while he still had the ball.
- No defensive player who has an unrestricted path to the quarterback may hit him flagrantly in the area of the knee(s) or below when approaching in any direction.
- Officials are to blow the play dead as soon as the quarterback is clearly in the grasp and control of any tackler, and his safety is in jeopardy.

Essentially, the only ''target area'' of the QB is his waist and torso. Even going for the thigh area can get you into trouble. If tackling the QB from his blindside - his back - a player must also do his best to ensure his helmet does not come into contact with the QB's head/neck. A tackler is also not allowed to use his forearm to charge a QB. You can't touch them and they must blame Tom Brady and Peyton Manning for that nonsense. Alot of this is also really tough on tacklers as most pass rushers, wether linebackers or defensive ends are huge and cannot stop on a dime to readjust themselves if a QB moves. I've even seen players penalised for falling into a QB's knee after they have been pushed in the back by an offensive linemen.

And yeah, they've gotten very tough on helmet-to-helmet hits.

man that's leaving a lot up to an officials interpretation?

yeah pretty much,there have been many cases where teams have had the games snatched away from them cause a ref felt the safety or linebackers hand hit the qb's helmet,which in turn gave the offense an further 10yards and gave them time to wind the clock down to end the game.

Watching some of the pre-season games from this weekend (I know pre-season means nothing) but the Lions look really good on both sides of the ball.Also Falcons rookie wr Julio Jones is gonna be a stud.

I've been liking the Lion's progress with Matthew Stafford for the last 2 seasons. i have faith in them as a team.

While they good, they have been getting killed on penalties, and just dumb mental errors, I dont think they will win the NFC North but I do think they could get a wild card spot.

Browns trade Trent Richardson to Colts for a first round pick, great move for the colts, not so much for the Browns, as they will once again be in rebuilding mode. Its clear they are gonna tank for Teddy Bridewater.

Yeah, they've basically told everyone that after two weeks their season is over. Brandon Weeden is a horrible QB. Bridgewater or Tajh Boyd and maybe a receiver.

They've got a good defense though.

They will have plenty of Ammo to use in next seasons draft ( I think they got 2 picks in 1st,3 and 4th round)
