NFL Thread

[rascal]

Watching the first episode of Hard Knocks. I actually had no idea that they coach how to touch another man's arse.

Good fella that Sean Payton.

Gutted Bridgewater is out for the Vikings, tidy young QB that lad.

This was going to be his breakout year as well. They finally have a decent receiving core with Diggs and Treadwell too.

hope you all watch 'ballers' ...

very good comedy based on nfl

The colts are bad rats . I despise them about as much as it is possible for an Englishman to despise a yank sports team .

Agreed. Proper clubs never bug out in the middle of the night.

You'll find a lot of friends in Duval County. That line will buy you a drink almost anywhere here.

edit: also - Don't be sucked in by the way their kit looks like Everton playing American footy.

Shows it'snot just Everton players who do their ACL then!

Yup Vikings had really got it together until the injury, they'd have walked the NFC north with TB

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Not a chance with the mighty Pack in the division. Granted it was always going to be a two horse race with the Lions and Bears sucking majorly but ....


Start at 50 seconds.

That bailing in the middle of the night is something those rats across the park would do . Snakes .

We shall see!

At least I have a great excuse if the Vikes do crumble

I getting into NFL again lately after a long time away.

The last time I watched a game was about 2007 or so.

I need to be a bit more committed and actually get behind a team this time.

I need one comparable to Everton in culture, fans, etc.

I'm thinking...

Colts
49ers
Bears
Vikings

Any thoughts?

Because of parity, things change quickly in the NFL. Unless you're drawn by a specific player or history, pick colors/helmet you like and a city you would enjoy visiting.

Not many on here will get the Dave Krieg reference.

Think Gus Bradley is on the hot seat this season? Hasn't really worked out for him so far.

Isn't he the one with fragile hands?

 

[SerenityNigh]

He does a podcast called Americarnage with Michael Carlson during the season, kills an hour and they talk football. Think he has another show for Talksport where they cover all the American Sports. He is very good.

That sounds fun, I might give it a go. The locals make me want to slam my head against the desk with their pedantry.

I really love the NFL but can't really claim to be an expert, but to me Kapernick always was a bit of an enigma, he's basically a QB who can't really throw the ball properly or something? lol

The game is so fast, very few learn to read a defense and move through the progression successfully. Most QBs need a simplified playbook then make mistakes when trying to be elaborate. I didn't really like Peyton, but his ability to read a defense is legendary.
