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?

Two of the worst decisions I’ve seen in all my years of watching the game. How on earth they’ve come up with those decisions I’ve no idea.

Makes a change the pats not getting the dodgy decisions in their favour.

Duck mania keeps rolling along in Pittsburgh. Mainly helped by an amazing defence.

I never thought I'd live to see the day the Patriots got done by two bad calls at home  :that's a set of officials who'll never get sent to Foxboro again. Pats did just about enough to win it in the second half, but shit happens.

As for Steelers, excellent defensive work again. Nothing flash about Pittsburgh, just very workmanlike getting results done.

Brilliant night of entertainment tonight.

Green Bay going about their business steadily enough, could be timing it just right.

I was thinking the Seahawks would win the big dance, but the 49ers are the real deal.

Not convinced about the Packers even though I would absolutely love to see it. Still seeing too many defensive flaws. Hope I am wrong.

No time for the forty whiners but they do look the goods. If the Packers aren't to win it, would like to see the Ravens win it again. Lamarvellous.

TBH I enjoy them all. There's always a few absolute highlights.

As Traf says, you'd have to go a long way to get a solid 7 hours of first class entertainment to rival NFL Redzone.

Yep. Redzone is possibly the best sports programme at the moment

Ravens win it for me. Unless someone nobbles Jackson I just don’t see how they stop him. Over 1k yards rushing already this season. He’s the full package. You blitz him be either avoids it and fucks off down field himself, can pass short or go long downfield and with the defense always having to cover for him taking off ifs very difficult to defend against.  49ers did a great job of nearly holding them as to be fair did the bills

looking like 49ers ravens which will be a fantastic game for the casual watchers and the purists. but as always there is likely to be twists along the way and it could be the best post season yet 

Turn your sound on.

I'm still baffled the Steelers are in play off contention, the offence has been shite all season. Defence might win championships but you at least need enough offence to win games.

If the defence plays this well next season and Big Ben is back I'd expect the Steelers to be there or there abouts come superbowl time.
