NFL Thread

Bringing up the idea of putting an NFL team in London again. Does anyone in the UK think it's practical for the league to do this? Is there really that much interest in it? Would you stay up late to watch the team play their away games in the US, possibly on the West Coast?

I hate the idea . It's an American sport not an English one . It's just a money spinner nothing more . I'd rather an American city to have a team .

All tickets for the twickenham game have sold out :mad:

completely forgot they went on sale today . Gutted . Hopefully I will get one when both American teams send there leftover allocation back nearer the date.

Yep, Jags and Colts seems to have a good amount left but really wanna see Gurley and the Rams.

Pats getting key players back just at the right time; Brady in imperious form; Manning looking like a middle aged man out there. I see only one outcome.

Hard to imagine Peyton beating the Golden Boy. Peyton's done and closer to embarrassing himself than winning another ring.

never count either out. as a Pats fan, i'm nervous.

I'm tempted to get a bengals v skins one but the Giants game was more about going to twickenham for the 1st time . Jags v colts is of no interests as i saw that fixture live in Florida last year . In fact I've already seen both sides live twice.

Feels like a Pats-Panthers Super Bowl. At first, I liked Arizona's chances but Palmer looked dodgy v. Green Bay

Yeah I tried to find tickets for the Redskins game but TicketMaster just laughed at me so I left it

Taking a Pats and Panthers bowl. That Cardinals D gets tired real fast, I think Cam will scramble all over them.

As for the Pats, I'm confident but nervous - always the way going into Broncos week. Although I'm not sure if Manning can make plays. Hochuli is a terrible ref and I'd rather Vinovich.

I'd be going on my own so single ones are on there for £79 .

The travelling teams usually send back there unwanted allocation nearer to the game so good seats do come available again you've just got to be on the ball when they are released to the public.

Do you think many skins fans will travel ?

A good amount will. We travel well. Not as good as some of the other NFCE teams but I'm sure we'll make our presence known.

Only fanevive done at Wembley or in the uk I didn't soak up the atmosphere . I was there just before kick off . This time I'll make the weekend off it I think. Still unsure what game though.
