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?

And another 

8/8 

Does this happen often?

It was a great game once Denver realised that 0-27 at the first half two-minute warning wasn't a good place to be.

Tell you if not in 3 weeks:

49ers (A) Pretty bad - but up against the #1 defense - See Brady, T this week

Chargers (A) Awful - against second string

Bills (A) 8 ball says not looking promising

Two good defences in dreadful weather never does produce thrilling games. 

Getting a bit dicey for the Jets now to make the playoffs, 2 or 3 games in a  row that at the start of the year you'd have thought were easier, but all of them either on good runs and turning a corner or never were as bad as thought. 

Detroit (H)

Jags (H)

Seahawks (A)

I'd still like to back us for the 3 wins to leave us on 10 wins for the season and a huge game vs Miami to close it out. 

Typical though that the year we're good is the year we're playing in the best division in football. 

 

Isn't NFC East currently the best division at 36-14-2 (0.712) ?

AFC East (Jets) is 32-20 (0.615)

Record wise it is absolutely, I meant more in ability terms. 

A lot more subjective obviously, but I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find 4 teams all as good in a division this year. 

NFC East has the benefit as well of being in an absolutely dreadful NFC Conference, wins to be had all over the place.

Yeah am sure the weather didn't help 

It was heading for the first 0-0 at half time since 2019 till bills scored 

Then it took about 5 mins of the 2nd half to see the first snap of the game in the red zone! 

Jets played a risky game at the end going FG then after a TD, probably should've gone for 2 point conversion then FG 

Not that it mattered 

As for the NFC East, strongest it's been in years, with NE bottom 

Unheard of for years

Yeah I really didn't like the decision to go for the FG, been a bit underwhelmed by our play calling in the Redzone in general since Mike White took over at QB. Almost like the OC is calling the game a bit scared, which is unfortunate because White is clearly an upgrade right now. 

Unfortunately, Pats are no longer bottom after last night, Jets find themselves last despite arguably being the 2nd best team. Which, I suppose, just highlights the quality of the division.

Well the bills have dolphins, pat's and Bengals to come so will hopefully help the jets to a wild card 

Bills need that top seed if they're to make the SB I reckon

It's a joke. The jets could finish with a winning record and not make the pay offs, whereas the Buccs could finish 7-9 and get through.

Ridiculous.

it would be ridiculous if the Buccs, or anyone, finished 7-9 in a 17 game season. 7-9-1 maybe.

2 years ago, Washington (7-9) won their division. Miami (10-6) missed the playoffs.

Indeed.

I personally think its farcical that a team can finish bottom of their division, yet still qualify for the playoffs.

Bring back only one wild card place. Make teams actually deserve to be in the playoffs.

49ers Make playoffs, with Mr Irrelevent (the last player selected in the draft) quarterbacking them.

Good luck to the lad.

Caught the NFL show last night 

The vikings been the come back kings this season doing the bills on one occasion 

But last week they did the biggest in NFL history, 0-33 v the Colts and won 39-36. 

 

Josh Allen just broke a Dan Marino record of most TDs in first five seasons as a QB

Thing is, the Bills can beat anyone on the day, so you only need to be in it to win it.

True but I reckon they depend on Allen a lot. TBH as the playoff picture shapes up I'm thinking it's far more open than I did a few weeks ago, especially with some teams coming into form.

The Chiefs and the Bills wont meet in the playoffs. One will fall first. Its that type of season.

Fucking stupid game.
