I need to get involved with NFL again, but need to choose a team. Was always a Dan Marino Miami Dolphins shirt wearing kid, but need some advice.

 

Which team is it worth following? Thinking about going down to Wembley to watch a game - anyone done it? Any help welcomed. Could just stick with the Dolphins and get tickets off Stub Hub for their game against New York Jets the day after the QPR game.

 

Which are the Liverpool/Man Utd of the NFL world to avoid?

 

Bills dominated first half but two interceptions sees them down at h/t

started the 2nd half getting intercepted again

Allen rushed two first half TDs but fuck me he needs to sort his chucking out

Was wandering if that drive was down to Brady being too fucking good yet again or just the Jets being the Jets yet again.

Drive was superb. Classic Brady. Cool and composed

should never have been given the chance though. Jets QB misunderstood the play call on 4th down. He’s some future though he’s a star in the making by the looks of him.

If they are ever going to ditch the 'chokers' label, Allen will be the reason. Some future ahead that lad.

After watching the Badgers win the LV Bowl and the Packers closing out the no. 1 seed qualification against a Kirk Cousins-less Vikings, it's been a satisfying season. Just hope the road to the Super Bowl through Lambeau Field works out the way I hope it will. Twice before it hasn't even though they will be playing teams from warmer climes. Proper 'frozen tundra' stuff against the Vikings. More of that to come.

Hoping they play the Titans in the big one of they get there. Had an early season punt at long odds on these two to win the whole thing with a 'saver' bet on the Cards at a later date.

Yeah, all came down to the play call on the 4th Down, right decision to go for it but the very wrong way to attempt it. 

 

Can't fault the drive from Brady after that though, the best to ever do it just performing to an elite level and making it look easy. I do think once the drive was developing we should have sacrificed a timeout ourselves, the last 3 or 4 plays the defence were on their arse, but other than that it was pretty unstoppable. 

 

But yeah, ever since coming back from his injury Wilson has shown some excellent progress, which is great to see after a very rocky start. Our offence has been decimated this year as well so he's doing a lot of that work with practice squad level players, gives me some hope for next year.

Great scenes watching Rapey Ben get his send off at Heinz Field but it's been obvious all year last season should have been his last.

Hope the steelers pick up a good QB in the off season. But the draft needs to be O-line centric.

Antonio Brown? Erm….

cost him a million dollars...

He was 8 catches away from a third of a million bonus, 55 receiving yards away from another third of a million and just 1 receiving touchdown away from the final third of a million, but he's just a fucking nutcase.

Definitely got mental issues 

Shame as he's a superb player 

Very definitely a top class player but one of those folk who is a genius but walks the line on mental health and doesn’t take much to tip him over the edge.

Things like this always make me think what would have happened to Paul Gascoigne if he’d joined Man U under Ferguson? Flourished or buried? 

 

Statement from AB

 

 

AB hasn't been right since he got absolutely leveled by Vontez Burfict.

VB got his comeuppance later that game iirc.

AB's a cunt, but that's a cheap shot.

Think it was the game next season when Juju laid him out and became a Steelers icon.

He wasn't before that moment he looked set to become a Steelers hero and break every receiving record out there.

Next off season following that hit he was chucking stuff out of hotel windows and having public domestics with his missus.

Burfict is held in the same hatred as Jonny Evans both players made horrendous tackles that fucked up the other players career.

Possible CTE?

Apparently hes been cleared of CTE by docs.

But there's something not right with him. He's gone from model pro to this car crash and the Burfict hit ties in with the seeming change.

I thought CTE could only be diagnosed post mortem?  

Bills haven't won the AFC East on home soil since something like 1994 

Surely they won't choke against the Jets 

Either way, looks like they're playing the Patriots next weekend

The thing that annoys me about American sports sun particular NFL is the overhype and superlatives over something which could be considered pretty basic in other sports.

The Jets won’t want to drop down the draft order.

Lump on a Bills win but the Jets will score a few, something decent is brewing in the offensive ranks
