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?

Blackpool's south shore is a blue flag beach.

It wasn't in the 80's the decade Bolty's opinions of the UK are based on. He'll be going on about Sinclair C5's being shit in a bit.

Aye, even though I have visited 26 times since 1988 and was there in June. 

 

You are correct though. Sinclair C5's were shit as were Bond Bugs.

I knew it. The filthy bastards.

Are the pavements still "fast food squelched" though?

No.

 

It's all washed away by torrents of Buckfast-heavy piss.

 Gratifying to know one's posts are so memorable.

 

Gonzo is still trying to 'arrange a meet' after that one.

How long does it usually last?

too long

How long does it usually last?

3 or 3 and a half hours pal total for a game potentially

 

But it's not long enough for me could sit and watch it all day everyday.

Fuck me. How many players do they each have?

NFL is not for me. To many stop starts to watch it live for me and very much like RL

Normally 53 but they've 90 odd in pre season.

You can watch a game back with all stoppages taken out.

 

Worth doing.

What got me the most was how much game time they actually got. They have one good run lasting 5-6 secs then they are took off for the next play. With the swapping between offence and defence plus the breaks, I would be surprised in some of them got 5 mins in ball playing time.

 

This guys look super fit but surely it would be a better test if they just had an offence/defence starting line-up with maybe 1 or 2 injury subs?

Its pre season so the 1st choice players only play for 1 or 2 possessions.

In the regular season the same 7 or so players will play every offensive snap with 4 or so changing depending on tactics.

On defence only 1 or 2 will change.

About 40 players will get significant game time in a game.

Aye, the fucking imbeciles. That game will never go anywhere or generate any money eh?

Joe Haden cut from the browns for some reason.

Signs with the steelers on the same day.

 

Chuffed to bits with that signing.

Watching NFL Hard Knocks as I do every year. This year it's the Buccaneers

 

Really interesting to watch how they gradually cut their quota down. Can't see the Bucs being anywhere near contention this year. Christ, their kickers are shite

Have you ever watched a college game mate? A top one involving some of the big outfits like the Aggies, Seminoles, Badgers or Spartans etc.?

 

Might ease you into NFL as it is a lot more entertaining and fast moving. Only a suggestion.

who do we fancy this year chaps?

As usual there's about 10 teams with a realistic shot at the superbowl.

 

The Pats will always be there or there abouts.

 

Most teams with a decent QB stand a chance

Going to have a few quid on the titans to win their league / conference / superbowl

I find the titans so dull it actually makes me angry.

From the terrible jersey designs to being just below average every season.

I know it's irrational but that just makes the dislike stronger.

The Jags, browns and Jets are a comedy shit show but the titans just exist

It's as rational as my thought process which was I enjoyed a holiday there last year and went pass the ground on a segway tour

Pretty much how I chose Georgia as my college teams.

In Atlanta and the Georgia Tech and Georgia state jerseys were shit so chose UGA
