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?

Missed the first week with being away and not seen any highlights. I’ll take a win though. Any win at the moment. Watched ‘A Football Life’ a few months ago. Oh what we’d give for the diesel, Thiesman and The Hogs. Or just one of them right now

Who would have thought after that superb 1991/92 season that we would have had 30 seasons of mediocrity at best . Best make the most of the good start anyways.

As @Traf will probably be avoiding this thread for a week or so, The Fish are looking good, the Broncos, not so much.

some haul from the dolphins that

3rd highest in nfl history

They were in Field goal range,with a minute left, and chose to kneel, rather than go for the all time record, to prevent embarrasing the team they had just dropped 70 points on.

It's back to being a good sport after the last 2 weekends DAZN can get in the fucking bin though.

Very quickly becoming my favourite sport.....

Can't wait for the 2 games on a Sunday evening, plus there's 3 for the next 3 weekends with the London games kicking off at 2:30pm....

Just dreadful. My pre-season expectation was 4 or 5 wins, that seems ambitious right now.

Will the German games be kicking off at a similar time?

Aye, all 2.30pm.

1st & 2nd London games are on itv.

3rd London game and both Frankfurt games are on Sky.

 

Just checked the Sunday games for this weekend. I'll be watching 4 of em from start to finish!! 

Hopefully the 3 sky games will also be on game pass/DAZN then I can watch em.

Not had chance to watch the Steelers live this season yet with game 1 on sky so blacked out on the game pass and then 2 primetime games.

How much are you paying for Game Pass? It must be cheaper to get a Firestick with IPTV on it?

Probably is it's about 150 for the season. Was happy to do it for the NFL gamepass as it enabled me to watch full games or condensed down to 40mins plus it came with a whole load of other stuff besides the games, NFL films and network stuff and was easy to use. Since DAZN took over this season it's not worth it.

If they don't sort it before the seasons out I'll be looking at the firestick and IPTV option

Good grief

Late to the highlights of last weekend with being away but Denver getting pumped 70-20 is less embarrassing than Washington’s display. That was utterly shocking.

Only marginally. I'd be surprised if we (Denver) win 4 games all season.

It really was hopeless wasn't it . That was some score though in the Denver game.

Yeah Denver didnt look good but beaten by a massively better team

Hapless, hopeless, inept. Deary me. Playground mistakes. May as well not have bothered on the offense 

Good lord the Steelers offense is painful viewing.

Bills Dolphins is a bit good

Had the bills winning that in a high scoring game looks like I'm correct and it's only half time

First 4 drives, 2 TDs each, said after the 4th it would be a case of first one to not get one might be in trouble and that's how it's panned out so far 

Bills looking good. Fins not so much.

 

If Matt Canada is OC for the Ravens game next week then Tomlin himself will be on the hot seat.

Far too many called plays behind the line of scrimmage. The speed of Austin, the ability of Pickens and the sheer size of Washington and so often there doesn't seem to be any attempt to go more than 5 yrds down field 

At 11-0 down going to say I don't think it's fair that the bills have to a play a team in London who have already been there all week

Well that's 111 points conceded in 3 games , the latest calamity conceding 40 points to a team with a 0-4 Record .
