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?

Going to Ravens v Titans next week really looking forward to it. 

AVE that ya ratbird bastards!

Offense only worked out what to do in the 4th quarter but phenomenal defensively after last week's debacle.

Beating division rivals is always sweet though.

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 

Is it any different from a team travelling from East Coast to West Coast for an away game?

They'll have to get used to it for when there's inevitably a permanent team here.

5hrs to la from buffalo and 9hrs to London. Only 2hrs time difference compared to 5 in London.

that said teams should be used to the London games by now and come up with methods to manage it without whining

aye, it's quite different going to a different country

I don't think anyone is whining about it, I was messing around, but still the Jaguars had two games in a row in london, so didn't have the upheaval this week that the bills had so will have been fresher and ready to go

it's fair enough when both teams have to do it

maybe teams who play in london / germany should do so after a bye week

If I remember correctly, teams that are chosen to play overseas can choose how they would like to schedule it with their bye week, most opt to take the bye after the game I believe.

doesn't appear to be the case, the falcons played yesterday, the bills play next week

so do the jags 

wonder if they had any input to say "if we're going to london we'll play two games in a row please"

anyway

they are now looking at adding a game in either Spain or Brazil as well

The 4 teams that are playing in Frankfurt have byes the following week

Wouldn't surprise me if soon every side plays Game 17 overseas. So a total of 16 game a a season outside the US

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

Just back from Spain so hadn’t seen any results. That’s utterly depressing

I have no doubt that the Steelers will have a terrible season, it's been shocking viewing but somehow the Stillers sit top of the AFC North and have won the 2 division games

Chiefs dominated the Broncos but Kelce apart, the receivers aren't quite clicking with Mahomes yet.  Loads of possession that didn't translate into points. Still not quite got a replacement with an understanding like Tyreek had with Mahomes.

Good win for the Ravens great day at Spurs. Strongly recommend it if your nfl side are playing there or not. 

Enjoy your champers, Mercury.

Wembley with the pre game fanzone has always been the better day out IMO, but spurs stadium is spectacular.

Nice to see Lamar back to his best @frank_spencer

A week too late for me 🤣

Gave the Lions an absolute spanking.

Watching the Steelers is a bit like watching the Wanderers at the minute most of the play is far from good enough but somehow are getting enough wins to stay competitive 

Lamar just doing Lamar shit.... 

Before he gets injured...

bills in danger of not making the play offs at this rate

inconsistent with visits to the eagles and cheifs either side of their bye week yet to come

Would have been in real trouble if the Jets had taken the opportunity last night.

Unfortunately, the offence is a disgrace. 

I think its now safe to say it was Brady, and not Belichick.

 

Huge game Jets v Bills in terms of play off ambitions 

Defeat for either could mean game over 

Even if bills win they got tough fixtures at eagles and chiefs coming up 

They may as well lose so as not to get their hopes up 

Dolphins will win the division anyway

Even if Jets win, they won't make the play-offs.

 

Steelers with more yards in one play (74yd TD) than the entire first half (64yds) summing up how shit this season has been performance wise but results seem to keep going the right way.
