Seems as if there is some sort of interest in NFL on here.

Use this thread for discussion etc

the only real interest i have in nfl is playing it, shit to watch, but i tell you what it's a fucking hell of a lot of fun!

i miss those primary school days when we all clobbered each other playing nfl, i wasn't one of the bigger kids but i could sure put in a decent tackle

ah, those were the days :)

Terrible sport. Seems like it's just set up for advertising and so thousands of statisticians can make a living.

This

You should both STFU! :P



The tactical depth of American Football is crazy. They cover everything, its so thorough. Its not just a game for knuckleheads. The players are athletic beasts, faster, stronger, more accurate, consistent, etc. at everything they do than players in any other team sport.

Totally agree with bonkers.

I'm a Patriots fan. Before anyone accuses me of being a bandwagoner, I offer the defence that i picked the Patriots as my team after Peter Griffin signed for them. :lol:

:lol: :lol:

I'm a Colts fan. I ain't a bandwagoner

+1 and for marketing purposes. Every stoppage in play requires a 2 minute break, conveniently enough time to spruke some ads.

How are they the best athletes in the world? Pulease. The tactics may be "deep", but I'd still rather play a game of chess than watch a bunch of wankers run around in plastic armour, taking a break every 20 seconds.

im a seahawkes fan, i wish we won anything so i could be accused of being a bandwagon fan,the cloest we have to anything remotly half decent is one of the presenters on NFL live on ESPN is the brother of our quaterback matt hasleback :lol:

we have a tough first round game vs the 49'd but its at home so im hoping we can do well

As a long time Packers fan I'm really hoping this is their year. A lot of pundits are picking them for the Superbowl, which is what bothers me, cause the talking heads are usually wrong!

Forgot to say, my second favorite team has gotta be none other than the Dillon High Panthers.

Philli Egles for me. Don't think they'll do anything this year though tbh.

Cowboys. Jumped on the bandwagon a couple of years ago. Tony Romo, Marion Barber and DeMarcus Ware were my faves back then. Really fell of the bandwagon though so now im just getting back into.

Im getting into college football now moreso than NFL but dont have a fave team.



Theyre the best athletes in team sports. Compare any one player in any one attribute eg. pace, strength, power, to any other athlete in any other team sport and there will most be at least one NFL player who can beat them.

I've been on and off the bandwagon of teams for a while. I want to get a team but dunno who to follow anymore. :p

who's the worst team in NFL? 'cos i'll jump on the underdog bandwagon...

St Louis Rams only won 1 game last season

Detroit Lions only won 2 games last season

Detroit didn't win a game 2 seasons ago.

san fran 6 seattle seahawkes 31, awesome first up game for us, esp with a new coach at the helm its good to get a win first up,

That's a great first up result for the Seahawks

Colts had a first up loss against the Texans. :cry:

Patriots had a good win against the Bengals, or the Ben-Gaaals as Fox Sport call them. Gonna be a tough season without Ty Warren though.

I was surprised to see that The Rams took the game to Arizona on the weekend. Really expected them to do a lot better.

Green Bay played a good game for the season opener. Any Packers fans on here?

I was surprised to see the Chargers go down and that the Giants won so convincingly.

Vikings for me. Only watch it every now and again. And like replays as they skip all the down time. Its very tactical.

Good to watch :)

the down-time is only there so you can get up and get another beer.

seahawkes just lost to danver :(

but on the plus side the manning brothers are facing off today, colts vs giants which should be good,

Go the Packers. I'll admit, rolling the Bills 34-7 isn't exactly the best indication, but we kept the Eagles quiet last week and they were hot against Washington.

And Peyton wins it for the Colts. Great win against the Giants 38-14

giants took the piss

It's a good start to their season. They did well against the Eagles, but Kolb was injured early on for them so I'm not sure if it's a result to run with.

What they did to the Bills was great to see.

Cards got annihilated by the Falcons, dunno what the fuck happened there. Surprised New England lost to the Jets too.

also, lol @ the giants. I dont' like either of the Manning brothers. Peyton's a fucking douche.

Randy Moss is now at his third team for the season, after being traded to Minnesota from New England, he now finds himself in Tennessee. Interesting.
Hoping we can git' er done against the Steelers. Will be hard.

I'm a Bears fan, let's hope we can get the job done against the Vikes tonight. But our offensive line has to improve, it's been crap so far this season, no doubt Cutler will get sacked at least 27803 times. :lol:

I'd love to see the Pats win tonight, Benjo. The Steelers' defence is pretty mean though, is the game in Pittsburgh or NE?

was watching the dolphins vs Tennessee game before, Miami went through 3 QB'S the first two got hurt and there 3rd choice went very well actually

pats steelers shoube good. steelers 34-17

Um...the Steelers went down 39-26 at home to New England?

Big win for Dallas this weekend. Seattle getting a good result over Arizona.

...and Green Bay don't play this week :(

it was my pregame prediction.

You backed the steelers against a team that's 7-2 and favourite for the 'bowl? They're the form team at the moment, they've won 6 of their last 7.

Yeah but pats lost miserably last week, IIRC they were both 6-2 before this match and Pittsburgh were at home. I wasnt the only one to tip against them.

Great win by the Patriots. I'm shocked at how well we're doing this year without Moss and Ty Warren.

The loss at Cleveland was an interesting one. I don't know what happened there, but IIRC they were missing two of their linebackers through injury. NE always bounce back hard to losses too.

Massive win today for the Eagles. They thrashed the Redskins by 31 points.

Great win by the Seahawkes over Arizona, good to see our QB Matt Hasselbeck come back, we missed him and in he's return he threw 333 yeards, we won 36-18

There's been some serious yardage this weekend. Vick through for something like 350 yards as well.

Vick's having a great year. He's making opposition defence look like dogs. 8-[

Edited by benjo: 17/11/2010 07:05:12 PM

Vick is playing phenomenal football given he's their second choice QB, but I don't think Kolb will be getting his starting spot back any time soon. He hasn't played this well since Pro-Bowl '05. Also, he looks like Chris Rock.

Vick is the kind of player youd create on a video game. left handed, fast as a running back, black QB. Breaks the mold.

There are plenty of players that are left handed, there have been various black QB's and a few with pace, he's just the one player that gets it all together. He won't ever be rememebred as a legend of the game though.

hes unique. the whole jail dog fighting thing has done damage though to his rep. Hes still young though.

That'll be what he's remembered for more than for his football ability.

I hope the Packers can put Minnesota out of their misery this week. They won't be coming back from 3-7.

i get it, well done :lol:

Looking forward to our matchup with the Colts. Not liking our chances though. Can defo see us losing this one.

I'll second that. Packers are due a good game, they've limped through the last couple of weeks because of injuries, but there's a few players back this week so it should be big.

Patriots v Colts is match of the round for sure.

Patriots. \:d/

LOL at Peyton.

The race is now on. Who get's their marching orders in Minnesota first? Farve or Childress? LOL.
For the Packers to be 7-3 with the amount of injuries they've had is amazing, but it's going to play a big part down the stretch, since we also still have to play New England, NY Giants and the Bears again to finish the season.

:x :twisted:

I'd say that Favre isn't the problem, it's the defence coach. Favre is getting the ball down there, he still threw for over 200 yards against us, but their defence just concedes too much ground. That said, Aaron Rogers is a fucking machine.

I think the injuries for Packers have been almost beneficial, they've shown that they've got the depth there, guys like Clay Matthews, Aaron Rogers, John Kuhn, and Matt Wilhelm have been stars this season, and with Finley, Grant and Martin coming back before the play-offs...shit could be huge. I'd be putting my money on an Eagles v Packers NFC play-off. Steelers v Patriots over in the NFC.

NFC South looks like the conference to watch. Atlanta on 8-2 and Saints and Bucaneers on 7-3...

Tom Brady was fucking sensational this weekend too.

I was right one of them was going to go. Childress was fired early this week. Favre's problem is what it's always been, not protecting the ball and giving up too many turnovers. He's had 17 interceptions and 5 fumbles lost so far this year. That's 22 turnovers in 10 games. No coach is going to survive that.
BTW, pretty sure Finley went on Injured Reserve, which means he can't come back for the playoffs, even if he's healthy.

I saw Childress got the boot all of 10 minutes after I made my post. He was never really that good a coach IMo. Mind you, he had a lot to live up to after the Vikings' side of the 90's. I don't rate Leslie Frazier either, his defensive frailties are what cost Childress his job.

That's a bummer about Finley, I thought the Injured Reserve list in NFL was like the Disabled List in Baseball.

Thanksgiving Day clash with the Lions tomorrow which in theory we should win, but we have to careful not to be too arrogant. If the Ravens can mange to beat the Jets tomorrow , that will be a huge boost for us. We still got to play them, the bears and the Packers though.

New England and Green Bay have pretty tough runs home. We've also got @Falcons (8-2), 49ers (3-7 - should win easily), @Lions (2-8 - should win that too), @ Patriots (8-2), Giants (6-4) and Bears (7-3).

So four teams who are top of their conferences. Fortunately the toughest game there is off the back of waht should be two easy wins.

if dallas pull one out here ill probably pull mine out.

EAsy win for New England in the end. Detroit pushed them in the first half then Brady stepped up and blew them away. Looked like hitting the target every time he had the ball.

Fortunately the Saints and Jets had to work for it.

Just watched the replay of Atlanta V Green Bay. Great match with Atlanta getting the win with a FG on the final play of the day.

Falcons are almost unbeatable at home right now. I thought the Packers did well to get as close as they did with no running game what so ever.

Green Bay did well, but it's disheartening that they lost out in the end. Mind you, they should win their next game to give them a good lead-up v the Lions, win that and they've got a good chance v Patriots.

Good win for the Packers at home this weekend, should beat the Lions comfotably...

Jets are sinking without a trace...perhaps now would be a good time to throw some dosh down on Patriots for the 'bowl...

A number of big teams are failing.

Look at the Giants and Colts as well. Bit of a mixed bag this season

HT between the Jets and Pats. Healthy lead for us of 24-3

I actually predicted the Chargers to beat the Colts. I cant' say I'm surprised to see the Colts having an average season, I don't rate Manning that highly (Either of them for that matter), when his offensive line can't play a running game he falls apart, which is waht you saw with the Chargers.

Easy win in the end for the Patriots, just hope they don't do the same thing to us in two weeks.

Really disheartening to go down like that this morning.

Did anybody see The Giants v Eagles game? :shock: Fucking 28 points in the 4th quarter to take it down.

I saw the winning touchdown. Fucking hell.

The whole game was just fucking incredible. Good to see a Manning get shown up so badly too.

It's official. Tom brady has broken the record for most passes without being intercepted. Record is now at 319 passes. And the Patriots have top seed in the AFC. Giggity.

I hate the NFL, we have the best RB in the league yet we get nowhere, seriously we need to fuck both Kerry Collins and Vince Young right off and try and draft a Luck or Newman.

Drew Brees is a lunatic.

Gonna be hard to see anybody stopping their march to the bowl. Eagles v Pats for the superbowl.

That was a stellar performance from the Packers again, systematically destroyed the Giants. Makes you wonder what we'd have done to the Pats if Rogers had played :(

Colts got 3rd seed. Happy

stoked the packers made the play-offs. Pretty disappointed we have to travel to philly for it though. We might be able to pull one out though.

keen for this BCS championship game in 8 days.

AFC Seeds
New England
Pittsburgh
Indianapolis
Kansas City
Baltimore
New York Jets
NFC Seeds
Atlanta
Chicago
Philadelphia
Seattle
New Orleans
Green Bay

Still looks like it's going to be Eagles v Pats for the 'bowl.

Thinking about investing in an Aaron Rogers jersey...Whaddaya reckon FFT? Do I fork over the $100 for it?

No.

If you are gonna do it, do it sooner rather than later, the economy is pretty good for stuff from America atm. I'm thinking about getting a Patriots jersey, the one I've got currently has Mike Vrabel on the back. He's long gone from the team.

You can probably get it for cheaper than that. Especially if you were to forgo the the D in Rodgers.

New Orleans v Pittsburgh

I fucking hate it when I do that. Yeah...I don't think they give you a discount for typos.

I want it...but I don't want to have to pay $100 for it...but I don't think I'm going to be able to find it any cheaper. Maybe on ebay...but I don't have an ebay account.

If they charge for lettering though.

email Green Bay Packers and ask if theyll send you a free one. See how nice their PR team is. I emailed liverpool and got a gift pack sent back to me and the PR chick I was emailing told me to email her again the next season and she'd give me more stuff.

Yeah...I was lookig at doing a 'custom replica'...which is $99 US, but if you get a specific Rodgers replica shirt it's $79...so I just saved myself $20. I can buy one that Rodgers has actually worn in a game for $200 :lol:

What'd you actually say to score some free shit?

I said I wanted something to give my bro for his birthday and wanted it to look like id made an effort. Of course hes not a liverpool fan and his birthday was long gone but she didnt know that.

So they sent you something for free. That makes no sense to me.

Im just trying to work out whether a large shirt is going to be big enough. How do the sizes work for NFL jerseys?

what can i say? its good PR, they said they couldnt send a jersey to me cause they were all going to different locations in africa (africa always getting everything :roll: ) so i guess they felt sorry theyd already distributed them.

well match day jerseys need room for shoulder pads and shit. supporter jerseys idk, I think theyre a bit smaller.. although the people in the crowd tend to be the same height and weight as those on the field.. just a different composition..
Theyre worn biggg so yeah, keep that in mind.

Yeah, what I'm wondering is whether a Large jersey is a jersey designed to fit a person who normally wears a large, but with pads underneath. Or whether it's the same size as a large Liverpool Jersey. I think I'll email them to find that out.

Falcons v Pats Superbowl. Falcons win 31-24, Matt Ryan MVP. Thats what im hoping.

Im a Titans fan, word out of nashville is that Jeff Fisher is staying which will most likely see the end of Vince Young in Tennessee (Thank fuck). Looks like we will be drafting a QB, hopefully Ryan Mallett.

Falcon's won't win. They'll get taken out by the eagles for the NFC championship. Never underestimate the Eagles' Vick-factor. The only reason they didn't make it straight through is because he wasn't starting QB at the start of the season.

Vince Young's attitude is all wrong. Does my head in. The NFL can't wait to see the back of him.

Watching Seahawks vs Saints. Anyone else watching?

Me. :(

Saints fan?

I dont mind NO.

My shoulder pads fit into replica jurseys but just tighter than my actual game jurseys.

Think sizes along the line of your gut, cause the shoulders will be a bit slack (for the pads) but not too slack, its a little strecthy in that region.

EPL (liverpool) XL is smaller than NFL (Buffalo/Giants) XL

Wow. Seattle 41-36 New Orleans. Huge upset, fully expected Brees to get the job done. And then the Jets knock out the Colts with the last kick of the game.

Shattered about the Colts :(

My Packers jersey (an old Favre one I've resisted burning :twisted:) is a 2XL and sits big on me, and my genuine Adidas Milan jersey is a 2XL as well and fits about the same. Pretty sure supporter jersey's don't take pads into account. Watch the game and you'll see most players barely have sleaves anymore, where the supporter kits are down to the elbow.

PACKERS BEAT THE EAGLES.

Thats a great win for the Packers. And the Cheifs were hammered by the Ravens

Well played by Rodgers. What a gun player he is. Second best QB in the league, no doubt. The only reason we didn't blow the Eagles clean out of the water was our defence just not being switched on.

Chiefs were no match for the Ravens, they were fucking terrible. Ravens could be really good if they had a QB better than Flacco.

It's a big weekend kicking off. Down to the business end now. Division Championships.

Steelers v Ravens should be a good game. Flacco isn't having a good year, neither is Roethlisberger. It should be close.

Falcons v Packers should be a hell of a game too. Rodgers is playing beatifully and if Packers defence turns up this week, things will be very exciting. Matthews and Jennings to be deciding factors there.

24-21 to the Steelers with 6:30 remaining in the 4th quarter. Should be a great finish. Ravens lead 21-7 at half time :lol:

24-24 with 3:45 remaining. Cmon Ravens

Steelers are off to the AFC Championship game for the 2nd time in 3 Seasons. 31-24 over the Ravens

Steelers just too good. Flacco's recievers choked hard in that last minute and a half, he shouldn't have kept throwing for the 30 yard pass. Telling stat that Flacco only threw for 16/30 and 125 yards despite having the ball for longer than the steelers (19/32 for 236).

Now for the big one [size=9]COME ON YOU PACKERS!!![/size]

I think the Packers can cause the upset and get up tonight. Will be tough against the Falcons though. Did you see that the NFL on FOX guys picked the Packers to win? Apart from 1 i think
