Not falling too far behind becomes of the utmost importance for every team with Designs on hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. With every team feeling as though they have a chance these crop of games are definitely the most exciting! However lets not for get it's now where you start, but where you wind up.
AFC North:
.
Baltimore Ravens 1-2
Next Four games - Cleveland Browns
The Baltimore Ravens will take on two of the toughest teams in the league in their next two as Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs will test their Secondary. Their next game will be against the Division leading Browns, lead by their middle Linebacker Joe Schobert who has already hauled in 5 ints. If the Ravens can come out of the first part 1/4 part of the season 2-2, they will chalk it up as a victory.
Cincinnati Bengals 2-1
Next Four Games - Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bengals will get to see what they are made of in the first portion of the season as they go an auto win versus, the Seahawks and the doors blown off of them in their first live action against the Highly talented Niners. Their next set of games are just as lethal as they will be taking on the Buffalo Bills, and Pittsburgh Steelers on the road.
Cleveland Browns 3-0
Next Four Games - Baltimore Ravens
The Cleveland Browns have jumped out to a 2-0 record, and lead the Division early. They will be tested however in their next two games as the Los Angeles Rams, and their Bitter Rivals Tommanowns, and the Baltimore Ravens will be a door prize. The Browns have the talent, now they just have to keep playing the way they have been.
Pittsburgh Steelers 1-2
Next Four Games - Cincinatti Bengals
The Steelers were a Hail mary away from being 2-0, and are still reeling from a loss in such a fashion. Well they get to take out that frustration on the San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinatti Bengals in their Next two.
AFC West:
..
Kansas City Chiefs 2-1
Next Four games - Lions
The Kansas City Chiefs have been up and down this season with their offense scoring 54 points, and their Defense giving up 54. They will take on the Ravens, in their next game, so they will expect big plays from their big play makers. They should be a match up nightmare for the Lions, but when you have a defense playing this poorly anything can happen.
Los Angeles Chargers 3-0
Next Four Games - Dolphins
The Los Angeles Chargers are still waiting on their game against the Lions in week 2. they are 1-0 now, and and the proposition of 2-0 would be just what the doctor ordered. They will take on the Texans, and DeShawn Watson, and their talented group of receivers, and then round off with the Dolphins who will have major protection issues trying to Keep Joey Bosa out of the backfield.
Denver Broncos 2-1
Next Four Games - Jaguars
The Denver Broncos are a surprising 2-0, defeating the Bears a week ago. They have been clicking on all cylinders as they have scored 78 points, and their defense only giving up 39. They will travel to lambeau to take on the Packers coming up, and winning at an iconic venue could be this teams first signature win. They will host the Jaguars in week 4, and hoping when they do face them they have a chance at 4-0.
Oakland Raiders 1-2
Next Four Games - Colts
The Oakland Raiders start to the season has been abysmal at 0-2, and things might get worse before they get better. The Raiders are struggling mightily on offense only averaging 16 points per game. They will be taking on the highly talented Vikings, followed up by a Super Bowl contender in the Colts in week 4. 0-4 is a real possibility for a proud franchise.
AFC South:
..
Indianapolis Colts 1-2
Next Four games - Oakland Raiders
The Indianapolis Colts were several early season predictors to come out of the AFC South, but a 0-2 start has put a damper on their season thus far. The Fumble bug has plagued them all season long, causing them to lose the turnover battle, and their first two games. They will be taking on the Falcons in week 3, and with their Defense they will have to cover the ball on every play. Game 4 will see them host the Raiders, who has also struggled so they will be playing as though their season depends on it.
Tennessee Titans 2-1
Next Four Games - Atlanta Falcons
The Tennessee Titans start the season 1-1 with a loss to the highly talented Browns in week 1, but followed that loss with a division win against the Colts in week 2. Their next game will see them take on another Division rival in the Jaguars which gives that game a little more signifigance than their next game against the Falcons which is out of conference.
Houston Texans 0-3
Next Four Games - Carolina Panthers
The Houston Texans pass defense failed them giving up 4 Touchdown passes to Drew Brees in their week 1 loss. They will be looking to get back on track in their next game against Division rival the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 2, before playing two out of Division teams in the Chargers on the road, and the Panthers at home.
Jacksonville Jaguars 2-1
Next Four Games - Denver Broncos
The Jacksonville Jaguars came away with a big time win in week 2 defeating the high Powered Chiefs. They will be in line to make their mark on the Division with 2 of their next 4 games being inside the division with the Texans, and Titans in back to back weeks before rounding out against the as of now undefeated Broncos.
AFC East:
..
New England Patriots 3-0
Next Four games - Bills
The New England Patriots start the Season 2-0, while not clicking on all cylinders with Tom Brady throwing 8 interceptions on the season. Bad news for Their next two opponents will be against two Division rivals. If the Patriots start 4-0 with 3 straight wins inside the Division, that could spell Division come the end of the season.
Miami Dolphins 1-2
Next Four Games - Chargers
The Miami Dolphins looked like two different teams in their first two games coming away with a impressive win over the Ravens in week 1, but then throwing up all over themselves with a 53-30 loss in week 2 with Josh Rosen throwing 8 ints in that loss. Their next games will be against two run heavy teams in the Cowboys, and Chargers. They gave up an average of 150 yards in their two games this season and will need to get that squared away if they expect to win against those two teams
New York Jets 1-2
Next Four Games - Bye Week
The New York Jets have started the season 1-1, and have looked like they will have to be reckoned with all season long. Sam Darnold with a full year under his belt has looked the part in both their games so far this season. They take on the Patriots in week 3 before they have a early season Bye week in week 4
Buffalo Bills 0-3
Next Four Games - Patriots
The Buffalo Bills offense has vacated the building with them only scoring and average of 16ppg in their opening two games, both losses mind you. With their next two games being against talented teams a 0-4 start could be disaster that may not be able to be avoided. At the very least with Tom Brady, and the Patriots coming to town in week 4.
The NFC will be the focus as we look at the first 4 games of each team in the NFC divisions. With only a 16 game regular season every game matters and the first quarter of the season is just as important as the last. Lets look at some teams that have started out hot, teams that have startedslow and some teams that are right in the middle.
NFC North:
.
Green Bay Packers 3-0
Next game - Eagles
The Packers new head coach Yell has come out the gate firing on all cylinders, putting the league on notice that he intends to bring the Packers what is has never had in NFASL history, a championship. He is doing this with an all around balanced attack. With a top 10 offense and defense Coach Yell isn't asking Rodgers to carry the load like some coaches may be tempted to do. It will be interesting to if he can still not rely heavily on Rodgers as the schedule gets tougher. His combined oppenents schedule going into week 4 is 4-8.
Detroit Lions 1-2
Next Game - Chiefs
The Lions have not found their idenity yet on offense to start the season. They haven't ran or passed well putting their defense in bad situations. The first 2 games were not how you picture the season started if you are Coach Musa, who predicted a superbowl this madden. Seems as the Lions might have found confidence after beating the Eagles 42-6 last week. If they have any chance of accomplishing that then they better find out what kind of offensive team they plan on being in a hurry because reigning MVP Patrick Maholmes is waiting for them in Arrowhead.
Chicago Bears 1-2
Next Game - Vikings
The Bears and Coach JD have to be kicking themselves over crucial turnovers in back to back games to start the season, most of them coming in the redzone to make things worse. Another 3 turnovers in the redzone last week agaist Washington has the Bears lucky to even be 1-2. As talented as the defense is they can only carry the team for so long through crucial mistakes. Not having a running game has made them reliant on the pass and young Tribusky doesn't seem ready to carry a team so they better try to establish a running game going into the bye.
Minnesota Vikings 1-2
Next Game - Bears
The Vikings problem is simple: they have to get some stops. They are giving up the most points in the league which is unacceptable for one of the more talented defenses in the league. They have stars on every level of the defense and Coach Koko needs them to start playing like it. The turnovers aren't helping either as the defense finds itself in tough spots. They got to finish drives as they are moving the ball but its not leading to points. A big game is coming up vs the Bears so we will see if they can clean up their mistakes.
NFC West:
..
Arizona Cardinals 1-2
Next game - Seahawks
The Cardinals after starting the season with a 54 point explosion have cooled off, scoring 14 points in back to back games. Turnovers have been a problem but that can be expected with a rookie qb. David Johnson is having a pretty good so far and the Cards look to rely on that going foward till their number 1 pick Kylar Murray is ready to take that next step. Not a lot of expectations for this young team, the focus will be on building the team for next year.
Seattle Seahawks 0-3
Next Game - Cardinals
The Seahwaks have simply just been bad. Most of that being that Coach Iccy had to show up late to the season. Not too late to turn it around but the road has gotten tougher for them after an 0-3 start. The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with the first step. In this case thats getting their first win vs the Cardinals this week.
San Francisco 49ers 3-0
Next Game - Bye Week
The 49ers and Coach Kaliko have to happy with how the season started as the stand undefeated going into the bye week. Thier rolling through the competition and look to take that momentum into a heavyweight matchup vs the Browns after their bye week. It will be their first real test and I know the fans can't wait for that NFASL rivalry. Something to watch is if they have the wide recievers on offense to beat the top teams, the one weakness you can point at is they are 20th in passing. With Jimmy G being the highest paid player on the team, having passing being the weakness can't be something they are happy about.
Los Angeles Rams 1-2
Next Game - Buccaneers
The Rams defense is still in training camp because they haven't showed up to the season yet. They are last in points given up and yards as they just gave up an embarrassing 62 points last week vs the Browns. The defense will have to look in the mirrior and make some changes. The offense is doing its job led by Jared Golf and Brandin Cooks but when your defense can't stop a traffic cone theres not much you can do. I look for Coach Jboc to switch things up. In fairness the Rams have had the toughest schedule so far but thats still not an excuse for the defense being this bad.
AFC South:
..
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-3
Next Game- Rams
The Buccs are headed in a bad direction this season as they have been on the wrong side of 3 non-competitive games. Jameis Winston having 1 year left on his deal was entering a decision year if his career would be moving foward with Buccs but he actually hasn't had a bad year so far. This will make it an interesting desicion in the offseason wheather they keep him or not. The Buccs will face the Rams in week 4 and if they lose here they might want to start gameplanning for next year.
Carolina Panthers 2-1
Next Game - Texans
The Panthers responded to a shootout loss in week 1 against the Rams by winning the last 2 games. The defense led by star linebacker Luke Kuechly has stepped up these last 2 games showing their fans that week 1 was an outlier and they still are one of the top defenses in football. Cam Newton has had a great start and is looking like MVP Cam which is good news for Coach Nick because the Panthers made the superbowl Cam's mvp year. The Panthers need more of the same if they are to keep pace with the powerhouse Saints.
Atlanta Falcons 1-2
Next Game - Titans
The Falcons are having all kinds of trouble against the pass as they ranked last in pass defense. They have also given up over 40 points two out of three games to start the defnse. If their defense can turn it around they might be able to make some noise as their offense is filled with weopans for former mvp Matt Ryan to use. They better do it fast because the Saints and Panthers are looking really good to start the year.
New Orleans Saints 3-0
Next Game - Cowboys
The Saints are flexing their muscle on the league as their defense has been stingy and their offense is doing what it wants in the run and the pass. With a really good oline and a backfield that is led by Brees and Kamara the Saints are going to be tough to stop. The Saints have been able to take care of the ball better than anyone in the league with only have thrown two intercetions so far. If you can find a flaw to how this team is playing let me know.
AFC East:
..
Dallas Cowboys 1-2
Next game - Saints
The Dallas Cowboys took two divisional blows to start the season from the Giants and Washington. Never good to start 0-2 especially when its divisional games as those could be tiebreakers down the road. It doesn't get any easier for the Boyz as they head to one of the hardest places to win a game and thats New Orleans. A win here could propel them to a season changing run. Winning a game that no one expects you to win always boost the team confidence sky high and after losing to two rivals they could use that. To do that they need to figure out how to get the offense back on track especially the run game.
Washington Redskins 2-1
Next Game - Giants
Washington started off the season the opposite of the Cowboys as they racked up two division wins early. No better way to start than that but they did take a slight step back as they lost a home game to the Bears last week. Still they have had a good start and look to make a statement against a team they have struggled with and thats the New York Giants. They are headed to the Meadowlands with the top defense in the league and when you are playing a divsion road game that doesn't hurt to have.
New York Giants 3-0
Next Game - Washington
The New York Giants have started the season letting teams know that they are more than Odell Beckham Jr. In an offseason where they lost one of the best players in football and were written off by many they have came out with a chip the size of New York on their shoulder. They are averaging a crazy 47 ppg as this could be one Coach Shooter's best seasons yet. That being said the combined record of their first three oppenents were 1-8 but the good news for them is their schedule doesn't get too much harder.
Philadelphia Eagles 0-3
Next Game- Packers
Nothing new here. Not much more to say about the Philadelphia Eagles that hasn't been said over the last few years. They have the talent but haven't been able to utilize that talent to say the least. I'm sure teams have already called the Eagles about the projected number 1 pick.
The AFC is rounding out with the expected teams taking center stage, and a few suprise teams stepping up to take a leadership role. In the first four games of the season only the Los Angeles Chargers were able to come out unscathed. The Chargers are 4-0, and will look to carry that over into their next 4 games.

NFASL Weekly Previews The AFC will be the first focus as we look at the first 4 games of each team in the league. These match ups make up 1/4 of the season, and saving your nuts and putting them away for the winter is imperative to securing a highly coveted playoff spot. There aren't many games in a NFL Season so the first 4 games can make or break your season. Not falling too far behind becomes of the utmost importance for every team with Designs on hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. With every team feeling as though they have a chance these crop of games are definitely the most exciting! However lets not for get it's now where you start, but where you wind up.
AFC North:
.
Baltimore Ravens 1-2
Next Four games - Cleveland Browns
The Baltimore Ravens will take on two of the toughest teams in the league in their next two as Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs will test their Secondary. Their next game will be against the Division leading Browns, lead by their middle Linebacker Joe Schobert who has already hauled in 5 ints. If the Ravens can come out of the first part 1/4 part of the season 2-2, they will chalk it up as a victory.
Cincinnati Bengals 2-1
Next Four Games - Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bengals will get to see what they are made of in the first portion of the season as they go an auto win versus, the Seahawks and the doors blown off of them in their first live action against the Highly talented Niners. Their next set of games are just as lethal as they will be taking on the Buffalo Bills, and Pittsburgh Steelers on the road.
Cleveland Browns 3-0
Next Four Games - Baltimore Ravens
The Cleveland Browns have jumped out to a 2-0 record, and lead the Division early. They will be tested however in their next two games as the Los Angeles Rams, and their Bitter Rivals Tommanowns, and the Baltimore Ravens will be a door prize. The Browns have the talent, now they just have to keep playing the way they have been.
Pittsburgh Steelers 1-2
Next Four Games - Cincinatti Bengals
The Steelers were a Hail mary away from being 2-0, and are still reeling from a loss in such a fashion. Well they get to take out that frustration on the San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinatti Bengals in their Next two.
AFC West:
..
Kansas City Chiefs 2-1
Next Four games - Lions
The Kansas City Chiefs have been up and down this season with their offense scoring 54 points, and their Defense giving up 54. They will take on the Ravens, in their next game, so they will expect big plays from their big play makers. They should be a match up nightmare for the Lions, but when you have a defense playing this poorly anything can happen.
Los Angeles Chargers 3-0
Next Four Games - Dolphins
The Los Angeles Chargers are still waiting on their game against the Lions in week 2. they are 1-0 now, and and the proposition of 2-0 would be just what the doctor ordered. They will take on the Texans, and DeShawn Watson, and their talented group of receivers, and then round off with the Dolphins who will have major protection issues trying to Keep Joey Bosa out of the backfield.
Denver Broncos 2-1
Next Four Games - Jaguars
The Denver Broncos are a surprising 2-0, defeating the Bears a week ago. They have been clicking on all cylinders as they have scored 78 points, and their defense only giving up 39. They will travel to lambeau to take on the Packers coming up, and winning at an iconic venue could be this teams first signature win. They will host the Jaguars in week 4, and hoping when they do face them they have a chance at 4-0.
Oakland Raiders 1-2
Next Four Games - Colts
The Oakland Raiders start to the season has been abysmal at 0-2, and things might get worse before they get better. The Raiders are struggling mightily on offense only averaging 16 points per game. They will be taking on the highly talented Vikings, followed up by a Super Bowl contender in the Colts in week 4. 0-4 is a real possibility for a proud franchise.
AFC South:
..
Indianapolis Colts 1-2
Next Four games - Oakland Raiders
The Indianapolis Colts were several early season predictors to come out of the AFC South, but a 0-2 start has put a damper on their season thus far. The Fumble bug has plagued them all season long, causing them to lose the turnover battle, and their first two games. They will be taking on the Falcons in week 3, and with their Defense they will have to cover the ball on every play. Game 4 will see them host the Raiders, who has also struggled so they will be playing as though their season depends on it.
Tennessee Titans 2-1
Next Four Games - Atlanta Falcons
The Tennessee Titans start the season 1-1 with a loss to the highly talented Browns in week 1, but followed that loss with a division win against the Colts in week 2. Their next game will see them take on another Division rival in the Jaguars which gives that game a little more signifigance than their next game against the Falcons which is out of conference.
Houston Texans 0-3
Next Four Games - Carolina Panthers
The Houston Texans pass defense failed them giving up 4 Touchdown passes to Drew Brees in their week 1 loss. They will be looking to get back on track in their next game against Division rival the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 2, before playing two out of Division teams in the Chargers on the road, and the Panthers at home.
Jacksonville Jaguars 2-1
Next Four Games - Denver Broncos
The Jacksonville Jaguars came away with a big time win in week 2 defeating the high Powered Chiefs. They will be in line to make their mark on the Division with 2 of their next 4 games being inside the division with the Texans, and Titans in back to back weeks before rounding out against the as of now undefeated Broncos.
AFC East:
..
New England Patriots 3-0
Next Four games - Bills
The New England Patriots start the Season 2-0, while not clicking on all cylinders with Tom Brady throwing 8 interceptions on the season. Bad news for Their next two opponents will be against two Division rivals. If the Patriots start 4-0 with 3 straight wins inside the Division, that could spell Division come the end of the season.
Miami Dolphins 1-2
Next Four Games - Chargers
The Miami Dolphins looked like two different teams in their first two games coming away with a impressive win over the Ravens in week 1, but then throwing up all over themselves with a 53-30 loss in week 2 with Josh Rosen throwing 8 ints in that loss. Their next games will be against two run heavy teams in the Cowboys, and Chargers. They gave up an average of 150 yards in their two games this season and will need to get that squared away if they expect to win against those two teams
New York Jets 1-2
Next Four Games - Bye Week
The New York Jets have started the season 1-1, and have looked like they will have to be reckoned with all season long. Sam Darnold with a full year under his belt has looked the part in both their games so far this season. They take on the Patriots in week 3 before they have a early season Bye week in week 4
Buffalo Bills 0-3
Next Four Games - Patriots
The Buffalo Bills offense has vacated the building with them only scoring and average of 16ppg in their opening two games, both losses mind you. With their next two games being against talented teams a 0-4 start could be disaster that may not be able to be avoided. At the very least with Tom Brady, and the Patriots coming to town in week 4.
The NFC will be the focus as we look at the first 4 games of each team in the NFC divisions. With only a 16 game regular season every game matters and the first quarter of the season is just as important as the last. Lets look at some teams that have started out hot, teams that have startedslow and some teams that are right in the middle.
NFC North:
.
Green Bay Packers 3-0
Next game - Eagles
The Packers new head coach Yell has come out the gate firing on all cylinders, putting the league on notice that he intends to bring the Packers what is has never had in NFASL history, a championship. He is doing this with an all around balanced attack. With a top 10 offense and defense Coach Yell isn't asking Rodgers to carry the load like some coaches may be tempted to do. It will be interesting to if he can still not rely heavily on Rodgers as the schedule gets tougher. His combined oppenents schedule going into week 4 is 4-8.
Detroit Lions 1-2
Next Game - Chiefs
The Lions have not found their idenity yet on offense to start the season. They haven't ran or passed well putting their defense in bad situations. The first 2 games were not how you picture the season started if you are Coach Musa, who predicted a superbowl this madden. Seems as the Lions might have found confidence after beating the Eagles 42-6 last week. If they have any chance of accomplishing that then they better find out what kind of offensive team they plan on being in a hurry because reigning MVP Patrick Maholmes is waiting for them in Arrowhead.
Chicago Bears 1-2
Next Game - Vikings
The Bears and Coach JD have to be kicking themselves over crucial turnovers in back to back games to start the season, most of them coming in the redzone to make things worse. Another 3 turnovers in the redzone last week agaist Washington has the Bears lucky to even be 1-2. As talented as the defense is they can only carry the team for so long through crucial mistakes. Not having a running game has made them reliant on the pass and young Tribusky doesn't seem ready to carry a team so they better try to establish a running game going into the bye.
Minnesota Vikings 1-2
Next Game - Bears
The Vikings problem is simple: they have to get some stops. They are giving up the most points in the league which is unacceptable for one of the more talented defenses in the league. They have stars on every level of the defense and Coach Koko needs them to start playing like it. The turnovers aren't helping either as the defense finds itself in tough spots. They got to finish drives as they are moving the ball but its not leading to points. A big game is coming up vs the Bears so we will see if they can clean up their mistakes.
NFC West:
..
Arizona Cardinals 1-2
Next game - Seahawks
The Cardinals after starting the season with a 54 point explosion have cooled off, scoring 14 points in back to back games. Turnovers have been a problem but that can be expected with a rookie qb. David Johnson is having a pretty good so far and the Cards look to rely on that going foward till their number 1 pick Kylar Murray is ready to take that next step. Not a lot of expectations for this young team, the focus will be on building the team for next year.
Seattle Seahawks 0-3
Next Game - Cardinals
The Seahwaks have simply just been bad. Most of that being that Coach Iccy had to show up late to the season. Not too late to turn it around but the road has gotten tougher for them after an 0-3 start. The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with the first step. In this case thats getting their first win vs the Cardinals this week.
San Francisco 49ers 3-0
Next Game - Bye Week
The 49ers and Coach Kaliko have to happy with how the season started as the stand undefeated going into the bye week. Thier rolling through the competition and look to take that momentum into a heavyweight matchup vs the Browns after their bye week. It will be their first real test and I know the fans can't wait for that NFASL rivalry. Something to watch is if they have the wide recievers on offense to beat the top teams, the one weakness you can point at is they are 20th in passing. With Jimmy G being the highest paid player on the team, having passing being the weakness can't be something they are happy about.
Los Angeles Rams 1-2
Next Game - Buccaneers
The Rams defense is still in training camp because they haven't showed up to the season yet. They are last in points given up and yards as they just gave up an embarrassing 62 points last week vs the Browns. The defense will have to look in the mirrior and make some changes. The offense is doing its job led by Jared Golf and Brandin Cooks but when your defense can't stop a traffic cone theres not much you can do. I look for Coach Jboc to switch things up. In fairness the Rams have had the toughest schedule so far but thats still not an excuse for the defense being this bad.
AFC South:
..
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-3
Next Game- Rams
The Buccs are headed in a bad direction this season as they have been on the wrong side of 3 non-competitive games. Jameis Winston having 1 year left on his deal was entering a decision year if his career would be moving foward with Buccs but he actually hasn't had a bad year so far. This will make it an interesting desicion in the offseason wheather they keep him or not. The Buccs will face the Rams in week 4 and if they lose here they might want to start gameplanning for next year.
Carolina Panthers 2-1
Next Game - Texans
The Panthers responded to a shootout loss in week 1 against the Rams by winning the last 2 games. The defense led by star linebacker Luke Kuechly has stepped up these last 2 games showing their fans that week 1 was an outlier and they still are one of the top defenses in football. Cam Newton has had a great start and is looking like MVP Cam which is good news for Coach Nick because the Panthers made the superbowl Cam's mvp year. The Panthers need more of the same if they are to keep pace with the powerhouse Saints.
Atlanta Falcons 1-2
Next Game - Titans
The Falcons are having all kinds of trouble against the pass as they ranked last in pass defense. They have also given up over 40 points two out of three games to start the defnse. If their defense can turn it around they might be able to make some noise as their offense is filled with weopans for former mvp Matt Ryan to use. They better do it fast because the Saints and Panthers are looking really good to start the year.
New Orleans Saints 3-0
Next Game - Cowboys
The Saints are flexing their muscle on the league as their defense has been stingy and their offense is doing what it wants in the run and the pass. With a really good oline and a backfield that is led by Brees and Kamara the Saints are going to be tough to stop. The Saints have been able to take care of the ball better than anyone in the league with only have thrown two intercetions so far. If you can find a flaw to how this team is playing let me know.
AFC East:
..
Dallas Cowboys 1-2
Next game - Saints
The Dallas Cowboys took two divisional blows to start the season from the Giants and Washington. Never good to start 0-2 especially when its divisional games as those could be tiebreakers down the road. It doesn't get any easier for the Boyz as they head to one of the hardest places to win a game and thats New Orleans. A win here could propel them to a season changing run. Winning a game that no one expects you to win always boost the team confidence sky high and after losing to two rivals they could use that. To do that they need to figure out how to get the offense back on track especially the run game.
Washington Redskins 2-1
Next Game - Giants
Washington started off the season the opposite of the Cowboys as they racked up two division wins early. No better way to start than that but they did take a slight step back as they lost a home game to the Bears last week. Still they have had a good start and look to make a statement against a team they have struggled with and thats the New York Giants. They are headed to the Meadowlands with the top defense in the league and when you are playing a divsion road game that doesn't hurt to have.
New York Giants 3-0
Next Game - Washington
The New York Giants have started the season letting teams know that they are more than Odell Beckham Jr. In an offseason where they lost one of the best players in football and were written off by many they have came out with a chip the size of New York on their shoulder. They are averaging a crazy 47 ppg as this could be one Coach Shooter's best seasons yet. That being said the combined record of their first three oppenents were 1-8 but the good news for them is their schedule doesn't get too much harder.
Philadelphia Eagles 0-3
Next Game- Packers
Nothing new here. Not much more to say about the Philadelphia Eagles that hasn't been said over the last few years. They have the talent but haven't been able to utilize that talent to say the least. I'm sure teams have already called the Eagles about the projected number 1 pick.
The NFASL is Back!!!!! The New Season is upon us, and right now there are 32 teams all feeling like they have a more than good chance at winning Super Bowl XXX! the reigning champ is none other than EddieHendriix, and the New Orleans Saints as they hang their 2nd banner in the Hall of Champions. As you know however this is a what have you done for me lately league, and with a new Madden comes a all new optimism. Guess what this one is no different! With a new season hope springs eternal. However New rivalries are forged, and old Rivalries smolder! The New owners in the league, such as MrRay718, Palmerjr2, K_Beex, Bigmoneynick_,and Yell_2, are looking to make their marks, where as owners like kokotea33, King_Musa722, QB11KC, EddieHendriix, Kevin_3447, and Bgreat238 are no longer rookies, but now have some standing in the league. They are not veterans just yet, but they are making their way, with EddieHendriix already making his mark, and QB11KC banging on the door.
The league is a well run machine, and only getting better every day. I look forward to another Madden season as your commissioner with the help of JD, and Shooter. Without Further interruption from me, Coach JD wrote up this weeks Kick off preview below.

Miracle in Foxborough!
Foxborough, MA.No better way to start the 30th NFASL season with one the leagues classic rivalries, Coach Atk vs Coach Hunter. This rivalry has been close to dominated by Coach ATK who can make a case that he has real estate insides Hunter’s head. In fact, I’m not sure it has constituted as a rivalry if I’m being honest with Coach Atk dominating the head to head matchups including stopping what most believe was Hunter’s best chance at a Superbowl. Hunter’s 16-0 Titans season was ended by Coach ATK’s Patriots in the conference championship with Hunter missing a wide-open receiver in the end zone to end it. I know you newcomers are saying, “there really was a time where Hunter was going 16-0” and as crazy as that seems it is true, I’m not making it up. You could say it’s even crazier than the guy who was known for saying “Your Fired” on TV is now the president. But the game was a classic with Hunter missing a WIDE-open receiver in the endzone, the play even turned into a meme featuring Kaliko’s crying face.
Atk went on to bask in Superbowl glory while Hunter went off the edge, he started smoking a lot of weed and even posting a picture pointing a gun at one point. His game hasn’t been the same since. But that was then and this is now, Coach Hunter can start to write a new narrative with this big opening game of the Madden 20 season! The coaches are the same, however there will be some familiar faces missing from this game. Three of the leagues best players to have ever laced up their cleats moved on in the offseason. For the Patriots it was legendary partier and player TE Rob Gronkowski who decided the party was over and that it was time to hang it up early. He has been Tom Brady’s go to target for the last 8 seasons and Coach Atk will have to adjust his game plan to fill the big void Gronk has left.
On the Steelers’ side it was disgruntled players Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell who went on to join different teams. Most teams wouldn’t be able to recover from these types of losses but what has made these two franchises so great is being able to find the right next man up and I expect nothing but the same here.
JD's key players of the game:
Juju Smith-Shuster - Juju has all eyes on him as he steps into some of the biggest shoes to fill in NFL history as what AB did on this team was nothing short of historic. Can he make plays as the number one option? Can he get open when the defense game plans to stop him? All questions that will be answered during the season and seasons to come.
Sony Michell - Michel coming off a phenomenal Superbowl run and has to take that momentum into the season as the Patriots look to preserve Brady by leaning heavy on the run game. He needs to get going early and often to set up the Patriots play actions and to keep rushers from gearing up to rush Brady.
Match ups - The biggest matchup to watch is standout Patriots’ corner Stephon Gilmore vs the young and talented WR Juju Smith-Shuster. Both are all pros for a reason I expect them to both make plays for their team.
I see this game being back and forth with a good amount of points being scored. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see both these teams with over 30 points each. Whichever way this one ends up I see both of these teams being strong contenders in the AFC with Coach Atk looking to get out of the 1-time wonders Superbowl club and Coach Hunter looking to get his name entered into the Hall of Champions for the 1st time. A chip was added to Hunter’s pale shoulders as Commissioner Moon predicted him to finish dead last in the division. A division that has the Bengals in it that’s got to be a little extra motivation. This game even though it is only the 1st game can end up being a game you look back at as the difference between making a playoff run or having to watch the playoffs on twitch. Their divisions are brutal with the East having the always contending Buffalo Bills led by mut master Coach Offensive Dom. And the North having legendary coach Tommanowns and notorious lighting rod Coach Ryan Roffman, the divisional races are going to be a dawg fight to the end so neither team can afford to giveaway games.
The new season is upon us, every team has a chance to win, and optimism is renewed! Until next time this has been a Sim Athletics Network Production.

EddieHendriixXXIX
On February 8th, 2019 the New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl XXIX Madden 19 PS4! The Coach of the Team EddieHendriix won his second Super Bowl, and did it in near amazing fashion as he did his first one. The Saints finished the season 15-1, going 37-1 in his two winning seasons! The New Orleans Saints defeated the Cleveland Browns in blowout fashion 41-13. The Coach of the Browns was RedskinsWAHOOOO Now going 0-4 in Super Bowls. The MVP of the game was Saints 3rd year Star now Corner Back Jacon Crutchfield who intercepted Browns Quarterback Baker Mayfield twice. The New Orleans Saints are on pace to be one of the best teams in NFASL History, and their coach has already stated that Super Bowl XXX is the next Goal! Congratulations on your Super Bowl Win!
On this edition of ESPNEWS We will focus in on the AFC and preview every team in the Conference. The AFC has fell behind 17-12 in banners hanging in the Hall of Champions. The most recent team to have that dubious honor is the Cleveland Browns who could not get the job done in Super Bowl XXIX falling to the New Orleans Saints. The Browns headcoach RedskinsWAHOOOO has now lost is 3rd Super Bowl! The Browns were one of the busier teams this offseason, and are one of the hands on favorites to win it all this year. There were several moves made in the offseason for the Division with some talented coaches changing zip codes, and picking up teams to balance out the league. QB11KC jumped at the chance to play with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were one of those teams that has everything in place to win it all, except a good coach, that has officially changed! The AFC East did the same thing adding a headcoach who comes in with much fanfaire as the Kardiak Kid K_Beex has taken over the Languishing Miami Dolphins. In the 29 seasons of the NFASL the Dolphins have been the most down trodden franchises and many are hoping that it changes this year. Coach K_Beex claim to fame is on the offensive side of the ball, and should at least make the Dolphins competitve. The Final piece of the puzzle to fill out the AFC was none other than Super Bowl XIV winner criticalnews2 taking over the Tennessee Titans. The Titans franchise many moons ago hung a banner, and will now be in contention to win another with a good coach. Without further adieu lets take a indepth look at all the Divisions in the AFC!
AFC North:
Cleveland Browns Coach of the Team: RedskinsWAHOOO
Pittsburgh Steelers Coach of the Team: Hac_3443
Baltimore Ravens Coach of the Team: Tomman_Owns
Cincinatti Bengals Coach of the Team: B_L_Great
Overview: The AFC North is always a slobber knocker as the Ravens, and Browns go head to head yearly. This one will be no different as they easily have some of the best talent in the league, and they will only make this Division one to watch. The Browns head coach will look to hang his first banner, and the Ravens headcoach will look to hang their first.
Baltimore Ravens -
Key Additions/Re-Signings - Earl Thomas, Mark Ingram, Tavon Young, Robert Griffin III
Key Losses - C.J. Mosley, Eric Weddle, John Brown, Terrell Suggs, Za'Darius Smith, Michael Crabtree, Joe Flacco
The Baltimore Ravens are run by NFASL Legend and 4 time Super Bowl Champ Tommanowns so they are more than good at the most important position. The Ravens have the most dynamic Quarterback since Michael Vick as Lamar Jacksons speed is that of a wideout which could be hell for opposing defenses. If he can hold onto the ball, and play turnover free ball the Ravens could shock the division by winning it the first year
The Bengals didn't do much this offseason as many think they are looking forward to this summers draft as they should be in line for one of the Quarterbacks that are available. They already drafted the Tackle of the future, and now making sure they are in line for a franchise changing QB should be thought about right now.
The Cleveland Browns were the loudest team in teh offseason adding much maligned, but immensely talented Odell Beckham Jr to their roster. With Beckham on the Team many believe the Browns are headed for greatness, and their headcoach RedskinsWAHOOOO will finally get that Super bowl that has eluded him all these years.
Pittsburgh Steelers -
Key Additions/re-signings - Steven Nelson, Mark Barron, Donte Moncrief, Ben Roethlisberger, Anthony Chickillo, Jordan Berry
Key Losses - Antonio Browns, Le'Veon Bell, Marcus Gilbert, Morgan Burnett, Jesse James
The Steelers are hoping on addition by subtraction getting rid of a tumultous locker room and team killer Antonio Brown, and Le'Veon Bell. they will miss that talent however as they are among the leagues best. The steelers will have to lean heavily on JuJu Smith-Schuster and the right arm of newly resigned Ben Roethlisberger.
Commissioner Moons Predictions:
Cleveland Browns
Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC West:
Denver Broncos Coach of the Team: Kevin_3447
Kansas City Chiefs Coach of the Team: QB11KC
Oakland Raiders Coach of the Team: e30zack
San Diego Chargers Coach of the Team: I757IMonster
Overview: The NFC west just got a boost in coaching talent with the introduction of QB11KC taking over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are one of the most talented teams in the league, and should be one to watch as the league progresses. Lets go team by team.
Kansas City Chiefs -
Key Additions - Tyrann Mathieu, Frank Clark, Carlos Hyde, Kieth Reaserwas easily won by the Oakland
Key Losses - Kareem Hunt, Justin Houston
The Chiefs have the best Young quarterback in the game in Patrick Mahomes, and the human cheat code Tyreek Hill for him to throw the ball to. They then started working on their defense which was one of the leagues worst as they added the Honey Badger, and Frank Clark to sure up that side of the ball.
The Raiders lost several good players a year ago but started replenshing the stock this offseason for their Quarterback Derek Carr. Adding Antonio Brown, and Tyrell Williams, and a major speed upgrade at running back has many thinking the Raiders will be one of the highest scoring teams in the league. They are coached by a Super Bowl XIII winning headcoach in e30zack
San Diego Chargers -
Key Additions - Jerry Tillery, Thomas Davis, Tyrod Taylor
Key Losses - Tyrell Williams, Jason Verrett, Darius Philon
The Chargers have all the talent it would take to win Super Bowl XXX, even with the long in tooth Philip Rivers who seems to be getting younger. They have a defense that will give fits to opposing teams with Bosa, and Melvin Ingram rushing opposing QB's in a passing league.
Denver Broncos -
Key Additions - Joe Flacco, Noah Fant, Ja'Waun James, Kareem Jackson
Key Losses - Case Keenum, Matt Paradis, Brandon Marshall
The Denver Broncos are building for the future drafting Noah Fant to secure the tackle position, and then drafting the Quarterback of the future big arm Drew Locke. Locke has shown well in camp allowing the Broncos to cut Joe Flacco in Minicamp. They will be hoping locke continues his improvement, however preseason is a whole other animal than the regular season.
Commissioner Moons Predictions:
Oakland Raiders
San Diego Chargers
Kansas City Chiefs
Denver Broncos
AFC South:
Jacksonville Jaguars Coach of the Team: PacificCowboy
Indianapolis Colts Coach of the Team: Gaberooni54
Houston Texans Coach of the Team: BigRY8
Tennessee Titans Coach of the Team: criticalnews2
Overview: The NFC South has perenially been the most competitive division in the NFASL but that will be looking to change with coach criticalnews joining. that means the remaining teams will have to step their games up or hand the keys to the Division to the Titans for several seasons. The talent is here, so i fully expect these teams to fall in line.
Tennessee Titans -
Key Additions - Ryan Tannehill, Rodger Saffold, Cameron Wake, Adam humphries
The Titans are putting some fire under the feet of Marcus Mariota by adding Ryan Tannehill to make sure he knows that playing well is part of the job. However with a new headcoach the Titans will look for him to add what he did for Cam Newton in the Carolinas.
Jacksonville Jaguars -
Key Additions - Nick Foles, Jake Ryan, Chris conley, Geoff Swaim
Key Losses - Blake Bortles, Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Donte Mondrief, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, T.J. yeldon, Carlos Hyde
The Jaguars made the one move that has eluded them for several seasons and that was getting that starting quarterback position under control. with their defense the Jaguars needed a quarterback that would manage the game and not throw away their chances. Nick Foles fills that role beautifully and should make this team one to watch.
Indianapolis Colts -
Key Additions - Justin Houston, Devin Funchess, Spencer Ware
Key Losses - Al Wood, Ryan Grant, Dontrelle inMan
The Colts have reinvented themselves giving Andrew Luck a offensive line, and a run game. Adding Devin funchess only helps the run game, and passing attack with his ability to catch in traffic. They also added Justin Houston to help out with the pass rush could make this team one to watch.
Key Losses - Tyrann Mathieu, Kareem jackson, Andre Hal, kevin johnson, Demaryius Thomas
The Texans only job this offseason was to make sure DeShaun Watson to stay upright as he was sacked the most times in the NFL a year ago. they should be just the more dangerous because of it, and with his speed and right arm, and all world wide receiver on the outside makes the Texans one of the most dangerous teams in the league.
Commissioner Moons Predictions:
Tennessee Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
AFC East:
New England Patriots Coach of the Team: ATK133
Miami Dolphins Coach of the Team: K_BeeX
Buffalo Bills Coach of the Team: OffensiveDom
New York Jets Coach of the Team: TraylonaKanana
Overview: The AFC East has just become a 4 team race with the Miami Dolphins hiring a new head coach. These teams made several moves in the offseason, with the Jets being the most active. the days of 13 wins and winning division should be over as 10-6, 11-5 is more realistic this season.
Buffalo Bills -
Key Additions - Frank Gore, T.J. Yeldon, Cole Beasley, John Brown, Tyler Kroft,Ty Nsekhe, Spencer Long
Mitch Morse, Kevin Johnson
Key Losses - Devin Singletary, John Miller, Kyle Williams
The Bills addressed their offensive line in the offseason adding several pieces to keep Josh Allen upright. He still showed well a year ago, and with coach Offensivedom, Super Bowl winning headcoach at the Helm the Bills should be one of the leagues best.
New England Patriots -
Key Additions - Demaryius Thomas, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Benjamin Watson, Michael Bennett, Jamie Collins
Key Losses - Chris Hogan, Cordarrelle Patterson, Dwayne Allen, Rob Gronkowski, Trent Brown, Adrian Clayborn, Trey Flowers, Malcolm Brown, Eric Rowe
The New England Patriots have a Super Bowl winning headcoach in ATK133 and should be in line for another as long as Tom Brady is on the field. They will have to do it without Future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski who suddenly retired. They did add some pieces to the team that should reap benefits in the season to come!
Key Losses - Isaiah Crowell, James Carpenter, Spencer Long, Buster Krine, Jason Myers
The Jets have quietly been one of the best teams in the offseason addressing several team needs with the additions of Mosley, Crowder, and Bell. With them Drafting Sam Darnold last year, and now surrounding him with weapons the Jets could be a sleeper in the East.
Miami Dolphins -
Key Additions - Josh Rosen, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dwayne Allen, Akeem Spence, Eric Rowe
Key Losses - Ryan Tannehill, Frank Gore, Danny Amendola, Ja'Waun James, Josh Sitton, Cameron Wake
The Dolphins added several pieces in the offseason but their biggest addition was the headcoach K_Beex. Paired up with strong arm Josh Rosen the Dolphins could finally make some noise in the East. They lost some good players on defense so the offense will have to click early and often.
On this edition of ESPNEWS We will focus in on the NFC and preview every team in the Conference. In the real world it was the New England Patriots, that won the Super Bowl, however in the NFASL it was The New Orleans Saints bringing home the hardware as he hung his second banner in the Hall of Champions winning Super Bowl XXIX. The Saints start this season as the defending champs, and will look to bring another one to the who dat nation. This is certain to be one of the leagues best as it is the 30th Anniversay of the NFASL, a Banner season in the greatest league on the planet. Madden 20 is out, and the new league starts on August 7th, 2019 @8pm est. That means the long hot summer is over, and now it's L Season, no scuses season, step back throw a game winning touchdown season, run up the gut, spin around a defender Season, Madden Season! . The Saints head coach EddieHendriix Hall of Champions Ceremony will be coming later in the week. The NFC was dominant in the Madden 19 edition winning the last 4 Super Bowls, and will look to do the same thing this year. However like stated earlier each Madden Season brings forth a new hope for all, and this Madden Season is no different. Without further adieu lets take a indepth look at all the Divisions in the NFC!
NFC North:
Chicago BearsCoach of the Team: Jady_Tru
Minnesota Vikings Coach of the Team: kokotea33
Green Bay Packers Coach of the Team: Yell_2
Detroit Lions Coach of the Team: King_Musa722
Overview: The Chicago Bears have a 4 time Super Bowl coach in Jady_Tru, and will look to hang a few more before all things are said and done. They have one of the best defenses in the game, and will look to add to it as they brought in Key addition Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Dix will be looking to replace Adrian Amos as a fill the box safety. However as long as the Bears have Khalil Mack coming off the edge they should be more than okay. The Detroit Lions added DE Tre Flowers in the offseason, and will look to have a really good front four even with the loss of Ezekiel Ansah. Flowers paired up with Snacks Harrison will cause a lot of nightmares for opposing offenses. The Lions will look to the offense to put up some serious points as Kenny Golladay emerged as a Number 1 receiver last season, and with Danny Amendola as a safety net, and the addition of T.J. Hockenson the Lions will have more than enough talent for Matthew Stafford to sling the ball around to. The Green Bay Packers brought in a new head coach in Yell_2 to run their franchise that had been not living up to their talent the past couple seasons. With one of the games greats at quarterback the Packers spent most of their off season adding defense as they used the if you can't beat them, sign them to your team approach as they stole Safety Adrian Amos away from their bitter rival the Bears. They will need Amos to bring leadership to the locker room as the losses of Clay Matthews, Nick Perry, and on the offensive side Randall Cobb will be felt throughout. The Final team in the Division are the Minnesota Vikings who brought back pretty much everyone except DT Sheldon Richardson which will be felt throughout the Defensive side of the ball. The Vikings were in serious need of Offensive line help so the addition of Garrett Bradbury in the draft is a welcome relief. Kirk Cousins will be asked to take the next step, and with Stephon Diggs, and a myriad of offensive weapons the Vikings could shock more than a few teams .

NFC West:
Seattle SeahawksCoach of the Team: Icyyca
San Francisco 49ersCoach of the Team: kaliko_420
Arizona Cardinals Coach of the Team: Dominator1373
Los Angeles RamsCoach of the Team: JBoc27
Overview: The NFC west added some serious talent by the way of Dominator1373 taking over a Cardinals team with a rookie Quarterback that many are wondering if he can take the league by storm much like Michael Vick did. Kyler Murray is a dynamic talent, and will need to be unleashed in a way that may be a little bit foreign to what coach Dominator likes to do. Coach Dominator is a pound the rock, play tough defense head coach and he won a Super Bowl that way, so it will be a learning curve for him also. The Rams also added a talented coach in Jboc27, and with a roster that is second to none the Rams are a early season prediction to come out of the west. You can't talk about the Rams without talking about Super Star Aaron Donald. Donalds dominance is felt all throughout the defense even with the losses of Ndamkong Suh, and Lamarcus Joyner, Clay Matthews, and Eric Weddle will be welcome additions to the team. The Rams also have a healthy Todd Gurley, and another year of Seasoning for Jared Goff, and you can see why many have the Rams representing the NFC in Super Bowl XXX. The San Francisco 49ers head coach Kaliko_420 made his Mark on the league a year ago hanging his second banner in the Hall of Champions with what many are calling Trade Gate. The League changed the way business is done because of it so he will have his work cut out for him this season if he wants to hang a 3rd. They Added Dee Ford from the Chiefs, to go along with Deforrest Buckner so they have the makings of a dominant defensive line. not to mention the Addition of Kwon Alexander the Niners have the makings of a good defense. The Final team in the Division are the Seattle Seahawks who locked up their starting Quarterback position for several years with the signing of Super star Quarterback Russell Wilson. This is his team now as the Legion of Boom era is officially over. Richard Sherman plays for the Niners, Earl Thomas is lurking in Baltimore, and Kam Chancellor retired. The Seahawks could be in rebuild mode by the end of the season.

Seattle Seahawks
NFC South:
New Orleans Saints Coach of the Team: EddieHendriix
Carolina Panthers Coach of the Team: Bigmoneynick_
Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Team: MrRay718
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach of the Team: Palmerjr2
Overview: The NFC South is home to the two time Champ EddieHendriix and the New orleans Saints winners of Super Bowl XXIX. From the looks of things the Saints are primed and ready to win another as all they did was add to a already talented team. Drew Brees, check, Alvin Kamara, Check, Michael Thomas, Check....they hit all the boxes for what many consider a must in the big three era. They also added Jared Cook, Latavious Murray, Eric McCoy, and Mario Edwards. They did lose some notable pieces in Max Unger, Alex Okafor, and Mark ingram so they will be looking for their replacements to offer more. The South also added 3 new coaches as Palmerjr2 (Buccaneers), MrRay718 (Falcons), Bigmoneynick_(Panthers) will look to make their mark in the best league on the planet. The Panthers will look to the additions of Chris Hogan, Matt Paradis, Brian Burns, Bruce Irvin, and Greg Little to spark both the offense and Defense. With Cam Newton in his Prime, and a swiss Army knife at running back Christian McCaffrey the Panthers could be a team that surprises some people this season. The Falcons have some of the best talent in the league, and arguably the best receiver in the game in Julio Jones. With a big play wideout on the outside defenses will have to scheme to slow him down, leaving running room for Devonta Freeman, and the rest of the offensive weapons for the Falcons. The Buccaneers are the final team in the Division and will look to see if Jameis Winston can ever take the next step in his development. The Loss of DeSean Jackson, will be felt on offense, but they have a game changing Linebacker in Devin Bush which should help them on the defensive side of the ball. They will need it with the losses of Kwon ALexander, and Brent Grimes.

NFC East:
New York Giants Coach of the Team: Active-_Shooter
Washington Redskins Coach of the Team: Newmoon001
Dallas Cowboys Coach of the Team: DynesTrio33
Philadelphia Eagles Coach of the Team: MelBlaze3521
Overview: The NFC East, or Beast as like to call them will be a wait and see approach as the Giants were dominant in 19, but failed to strike while the Iron was hot, and While they still had Odell Beckham jr. They traded him away for Jabrill Peppers to help in the Secondary which should help the Giants defense. The Giants also are moving on from the Eli Manning era when they drafted Daniel Jones in the first round, and Minicamp talk is he's the real deal. They will lean heavily on Saquon Barkley who will be asked to carry the offense. Golden Tate will have big shoes to fill, but Sterling shepard, is ready to take a step forward. The Dallas Cowboys are in salary cap hell however that did not stop them from signing Randall Cobb, Robert Quinn, inviting Tight End Jason Witten Back, and George Iloka. they have to think long term as this team is one of the most talented in the league but they will have to manage their cap or be expected to watch some talented people leave via free agency. The Washington Redskins are once again in the Rookie Quarterback business as Dwayne Haskins big right arm will be looked upon to uplift a once proud franchise. The Redskins are hoping for a repeat of the 2012 season when RGIII took the league by storm until injury derailed a promising career. The Eagles are once again controlled by Melblaze and they have arguably the best team in the league. Will this be the year the Eagles make a move in the NFASL? They added several pieces such as DeSean Jackson, Jordan Howard, Zach Brown, and a myriad of others. However the Eagles have always been talented only their headcoach love for the interception has been their undoing. Lets hope the trend doesn't continue.
Welcome to theNationalFootball ALLSimulationLeague (NFASL). Another rendition of Madden football is upon us, and just like the world breathes new life in the Spring, so do we with the release of our beloved Football.

Free Agency Pick up - No Free agents can be picked up until week 3 of the preseason unless you are one of the lowest ranked teams which are:
ESPN Breaking News: The NFASL is officially kicking off August 9th, 2019 @ 8pm EST
On this edition of ESPNEWS We will Discuss what's going on in the league in relation to Madden 20. We are starting the League an entire month early which will ensure that we get a 5th season in. However what that means is that we are starting this season well aware that we will not have the week 1 rosters in real life. However I have a plan for that which I will spell out shortly. The League has been a well oiled machine for several cycles of Madden, and I aims to keep it that way. With an influx of New owners the Core members will have to bring them along and show them how we do things here in the NFASL. I hand picked these owners based solely around the criteria that they are good players firstly, have a great attitude win, lose, or draw, Don't complain for no damn reason, play all their games, and contact their opponents in a timely manner. Pretty much a welcome addition to the worlds best league. Did we lose some dudes that were good guys, yes. However the ones who were not asked back took the league for granted, and for us to get the league to 100 % optimization I had to make the hard call.
There were a few rules changes that I made to the league such as:
Playcalling -
4th down rule -
Kalikos Trade Rules -
Please be sure to view the new additions before you play your game as all you have to do is click the Rules link at the top of the page. More information coming soon.
These are the list of players that cannot be traded from particular franchises. The purpose of this list is to ensure the integrity of the league, because I have learned over trial and error some league members can not help themselves when it comes to trades. Please be sure to adhere to the list before attempting to make a trade. This is a salary cap league, so making trades, then undoing trades can reek havoc on your ability to function moving forward. Also note that any player on this list may not be released from your team. The only Caveat to this list is if a player is in the last year of their contract. If that is the case you are allowed to trade any player on this list. * Co-Commissioner JD came up with this list. if you have a problem with a player on the No Trade List make your case with him. Until I hear otherwise this list is Ironclad**

On this edition of ESPNEWS We Wrap up John Madden Football 2019 on the PS4. With the Football seaon over the League is now in the Off-Season, and on Summer Break. This is a good a time as any to get a broad overview of the league, and how it's owners did on this rendition of Madden. The NFC Dominated this rendition of Madden and have subsquently made for a big time lead in the Hall of Champions in terms of banners hanging. The NFC now has 17 and a commanding lead over the AFC who has 12. The New Orleans Saints were the Team to beat this year as their coach SilentCloudx hung two Banners, and was a paid and bought for San Francisco 49ers team from a Dynasty. The Saints won Super Bowls XXVII, and XXIX. The Seattle Seahawks behind a one and done Papashga who came, and went just as fast made his mark in the league winning Super Bowl XXVI forever cementing himself in the Hall of Champions. Coach Kaliko of the San Francisco 49ers hung his second banner winning Super Bowl XXVIII. Coach Kaliko did it in a controversial Fashion paying for players, but still did it within the rules.
The New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals are also noteable Mentions as they had records well above the .500 mark in the league. However no one remembers second place, and not being able to hang a Banner still haunts those particular franchises. Coach Active-_Shooters playoff Failings are starting to become stuff of legend. The new kid on the Block QB11KC started slowly in the league but quickly figured out how to win, an win he did. Making a joke of a Franchise in the Cardinals one to be feared. The Dallas Cowboys and their headcoach dynestrio33 will also be wondering what went wrong as dominating in the regular season means absolutely nothing if you can't garner the hardware at the end of the season. The Cowboys were once again severely overrated, and not to win is a stain on the record of their headcoach.
In Closing on the NFC side of things due to the Dominance of the NFC there will be a change come next Madden as a few big named players will be switching conferences hopefully balancing out the league for the better.

In the AFC The Cleveland Browns showed the rest of the Conference that they could not be taken lightly as they made three trips to the Super Bowl. unfortunately they were unable to seize on a win, and their headcoach RedskinsWAHOOOO has the distinction of being a 4 time Super Bowl Loser in the NFASL. No Small feat to get their 3 times in four years, but being a runner up just means you are the last loser.
