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?

Get back from the wanderers get some grub sorted and sat in front of the telly all night.

The missus will be delighted 😁

Same here although she will be genuinely delighted. Me out from under her feet all day and then sat all night in front of Pats/Bills and Massives/Leicester whilst she screeches and guzzles Prosecco with her sister

Which one live and which one to record?

Belecheat will have had his camera crew on the case.

Every season there's another dodgy tale about this mob they'll get a shitty fine and Kraft will use some of his hooker trafficking money to pay it and that will be the end of it.

You’re beginning to sound like some of the fuds in the election thread frank 

Finally caught up with last weeks action courtesy of the BBC show

Ooh - the Seahawks look a bit tasty 

AFC - will always struggle to see past the Pats. Bills beat the Pats on sat and the Chiefs beat the Bears on Monday I’ll go with my annual bet of the Chiefs winning the AFC. Pats win tomorrow and can see them all the way to SB

NFC - liking what I’m see from the Seahawks recently. Suspect that the Saints will meet and beat the Packers to the NFC playoff vs Seahawks 

Super Bowl?

Head says Seahawks vs Patriots

Heart says Chiefs vs Saints

Ravens v Saints superbowl for me

I’m still thinking Seahawks

Confident of turning out/up?

Or confident of the copper being unbearable?

The latter is nailed on.

SB Prediction thread then. Heart and head. Change as it gets nearer

Heart - Chiefs vs Saints

Head - Seahawks vs Pats 

Pats D is showing up big time tonight. 

Big man touchdown!

Always entertaining.

So far behind on this. Just about to start watching the recording. Long night ahead

Even the Refs were calling the Pats Crew out on their cheating ways last night.

'Gentlemen, we stop the clock on incomplete passes. Please add 40 seconds back onto the clock' or words to that extent.

In 35 years of watching NFL, its the first time I have heard the refs take that tone with the clock keepers.

It was about 5/6 seconds. Please reset the game clock to but aye I heard it

take it you missed the touchdown that shouldn’t have been ruled out for the second home game running for an appalling call against the pats? Or is that just acceptable?

The pats are the manyoo of the NFL they've had enough dodgy decisions go in their favour that no one gives a shit when it goes against them.

Josh McDaniels has one of the most punchable faces in sports so seeing him have a tantrum is always entertaining.

The 7 seconds was when they didnt stop the clock on a Timeout (Bill drive, late in 1st half). The refs politely asked them to reset the clock

This one was 26 seconds, when they didn't stop the clock on an incomplete pass (Bills Drive, late 2nd half). The refs basically told them to stop cheating this time.

The pick/rub was debatable, in isolation it looks a bad call, however Edelman must be the unluckiest player to ever play the game, the amount of times he 'accidently' takes out a defender covering the intended receiver. The way he jumped up after the flag was thrown reminded me of Lehmann after the ref didnt give a foul against Davies.

They also missed a blatent facemask in the last minute against Allen, which would have given the Bills a 1st and goal rather than 1st and 10 at the 24.I assume you think that one was acceptable ?

So we end up comparing bad referee calls, and someone attempts to use this as a valid excuse for blatent cheating. I guess the film crew in Cleveland were filming the Cincinnatti line because of bad calls ?

Cheating ? Its in their DNA.

 

Zig, Bitter and twisted since 1982, John Smith and a John Deere Tractor.

That was a great game. Watched the first half last night, just finished watching the second

Much as I dislike the Cheats they utilised their running game to full effect. Thought the Bills had it but sadly no

Plenty of controversial calls/non-calls but a fully deserved win
