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?

Used to have a teacher (Bolton born but an Arsenal season ticket holder) who used to love American football but reckoned that only college football was worth watching as it was a purer version of the sport rather than the money rich drafting and franchises.

 

Not sure if it's true or not, but many pick a college team?

 

College football is a great event to attend. Seen some cracking matches but my first ever visit to Camp Randall will live long in the memory.

 

The fifth quarter. Amazing.

One of the joys of the nfl is that money doesn't determine the best team.

The Dallas Cowboys have more money than god and are shitter than shit and have been for a good while.

 

The college game has more trick plays and daft moments.

The bulk of players in the ncaa will be something other than sports bods in their career So the game isn't as precise as the pros.

I must admit i enjoyed the college games on tv more than the normal ones

Me and the wife watch the Texas Longhorn on Saturday night and the Houston Texans on a Sunday, love them both

The dolly bird cameraman has much more to work with at the college games.

JJ Watt is a brilliant watch alone.

 

Especially when the Texans start getting bored and playing him on offence.

 

How teams like the Texans manage to go so long with shoddy qb's is strange.

 

Surely someone like Aaron Murray, Aj McCarron etc has to be worth a try over some of the dross that keeps getting work at Houston, Buffalo etc

As a sort of link between college football and the NFL, interesting to see Manziels progression into the NFL. Looking like he will take the step without a problem.

 

Certainly enjoyed watching him when he was with the Aggies.

Does seem to be taking to it well, be nice to see the Browns doing well. Hopefully he is over his "personal" issues now.

Hope so because he is a great talent. Entertainment plus on his day.

Thing is for the browns to do well they'd have to stop being the browns. Their hierarchy still reckons Josh McCown is the better QB and will start when healthy.

Was reading an article last night which basically said the same thing! He certainly looked the part last week against the Titans.

This!!! I've always loved the draft pick situation. OK you don't get the "local boy come good" scenario very often but at some point you just know that your team has a shot at glory.

 

It would never work in other sports but is perfect for NFL

With the salary cap as well teams can't afford to have the best players in every position.

 

JJ Watt at the Packers or similar would create an unstoppable force.

 

You occasional get 3/4 top players at a team but the funds won't allow you to keep them together long term. Bell, Brown and Roethlisberger are amongst the best in their positions but other than Ben they arent paid anywhere near the top salary in the positions.

I'll tell you what are rugby union-style irritating - touchbacks. Either kick off from ten yards further back or just let the 'receiving' team start from their own 30 without arsing about with a kick off. Nonsense.

College games always throw up belting kick off returns.

 

St Louis pyrotechnics set fire to the pitch tonight. No one knew what the fuck was going on.

Jets reverting to type tonight

Darren Sproles being Darren Sproles tonight I see

The dolphins are managed by Freedman

Suh needs to up the dirtyness level to cause problems.

 

the offence is dire for miami at the moment.

Also the Bills deserve to win on the best names scale.

Names like Bacari Rambo and Richie Incognito should get bonus points for their team

This is terrible from Tannehill

Miami getting spanked here

You expect this scoreline from the other florida sides but miami were supposed to be contenders.

How did we do this weekend franky boy?

Won but our QB fucked his knee up and we're left with a past it dog killer who's only skill in his career has been dropping the ball
