Sake lid. I came in here to corn the thread and seen you posting in here. Can you stop liking this jarg rugby played by shithouses wearing helmets so I can get to work on the hanks in here please.

Mate, we'd all be better off if you could give us a list of five things you love about the NFL

if the NFL wants people in england to start following the NFL

why are they sending the crappiest teams to play there? Lions, Dolphins, Chiefs, Jaguars...lmao

Wow, Horrible day for injuries. I had LeVeon Bell, matt Forte and Steve Smith Snr ALL in one Fantasy Team. All three possibly injured for the season :rant:

Went to all 3 International Series games this season, as a Jets game, obviously I loved the Jets game, especially as we won, however the last game yesterday was absolutely atrocious. We were lucky enough to have thousands of Bills fans travel over and the fins and jets having a huge UK presence, yet the Chiefs and Lions had neither.

Detroit ruined the contest by being so poor, and if i'm being honest, 3 NFL games in one season is too much for the fans i think, by the half of yesterdays game, everyone around me was paying so little attention to the game it pretty much may have been over.

Mexico City will show everyone how its done, i'm sure.

The NFL sends mostly crap to the UK. It's almost arrogant that they think people will fall in love with the league despite the quality of the product they put on the field. From what I understand too, there are not many broadcast rights given to your networks. So you get our national televised games which would start at midnight or later over there.

yesterday we got steelers v bengals , jets v raiders and Green Bay v Denver pkus the Wembley game. Plus we get the Thursday and Monday night games every week . 5 games a week is not too bad tbh .

I was disappointed in the game yesterday, I thought Detroit would have made a better go of it, but I was more disappointed to see Alex Smith have a stormer. 49ers should never have let him go.

SweetJesus849 · November 2, 2015

Speaking of Bay Area teams though, Raiders are coming up in the world. It's been too long.

l4toffee · November 2, 2015

Actually just read it could be redskins at 'home' to the packers next season and a possible fame in Berlin . That would be class .

BBC2 start there highlights package next week

When London agreed to keep games at Wembley up until 2020, they made a deal to host a possible 5 international games, with Mexico City being mooted. Mexico loves its NFL, could you imagine it at the Azteca? insane scenes.

Also, from what i've gathered, it'll be the Jags twice next year, with Goodell quite keen on giving the 'Home' team an additional 'Road' game, so they'd play back-to-back at Wembley.

yeah I've just read about that on NFL uk forum . A game in Berlin interests me a lot . I'd be up for a bit of that . The Mexico one would be great .
