And all UK NFL fans only follow successful teams. That's also very kopite.

Who's in the UK here? It's an American thread. Well, mostly.

Kopite accusations are not something to throw around lightly.

I follow the Pats because they were the first team I saw. Brother follows the Packers because of the same reason.

I have mates who follow the Cards, Chiefs, Eagles and Raiders. There's tonnes of support of here for bad teams. The Washington Professional Football team have a huge UK Twitter.

I've not noticed many Cowboys fans here, are they hiding?

Seriously? That's awesome. I want to encourage them. Wait, did you precede this statement with "bad team" implying the Washington Football Team is bad?

Also, it makes sense why fans in the UK would back the better NFL teams, that's who gets the prime time slots. Kind of like how the big EPL teams get larger followings in the US. Those are the teams most often on TV.

Haha I joke, I like the DC Grudens - but yes they seem to have a huge Twitter following over here and Reddit.

And over here to get people interested we go all out on the SuperBowl so yeah you see people following the winners a lot. Sky do a "who should I support" thing where you answer a few questions (I'm not quite sure people follow those teams but the interest is there.)

A part of me wants Seattle to come back and win. That would be pretty spectacular.

I really did not think the NFL was popular over there. It just seems like such a niche thing. If I were just getting into the NFL today I probably would not be very interested. Only reason I still follow it closely was because I grew up watching it with my dad and had a local team. Then again, I have zero connection to Liverpool in particular but for whatever reason I fell in love with Everton and have a huge interest in it.

Andy Reid thinks Seattle is trying to score too quickly.

that missed FG could be huge now. this is starting to look like the Packers-Panthers game.

All I found from Sky Sports is a quiz on NFL team logos. Maybe that's how I'll pick my next team after another disappointing season next year.

Looking for it here but can't find it - I do remember showing it to my mate who I got to Uni with as he tried to get into the NFL - he chose the Niners and gave up after the first game.

Did come out during the off-season tbf.
