So, any watchers of this fine sport besides me? I personally am looking forward to another season of my Oakland Raiders setting another example of total mediocrity. Oh well, I guess we're still better than the Lions.
-
Sure the Chargers have an 11 game win streak against my Raiders, but my team still has more overall wins in the rivalry :-p.
Speaking of rivalries, my new boss is a die hard (somewhat psychotic) Chiefs fan.
-
Big Buccaneers fan here!!
Can't wait for football to start. Baseball is killing me.
-
Not a lot of NFL fans here, eh? Sad to say, I think my Raiders are probably the worst team in the NFL right now, with the possible exception of the Rams. Everyone at work laughed at me when I said the Bengals were going to surprise people, well now who's laughing?
-
Well I love NFL :786. I support the Eagles and I don't think we're doing too badly this year. I'm goin to see the game in London next week. Bucs vs Pats. Cmon the Bucs! (Even though theyre probly guna lose :( :345678)
-
I'm a Patriots fan but a HUGE fan of Peyton Manning and Bret Farve. The Vikings are 6-0 but I just don't like their team nor the Colts, I just like their Quarterbacks.

Today i am Genuinely Excited!!!!!
Giants v Eagles
Packers v Vikings
2 mammoth games - 1 comfy couch............love it
-
Too bad both games were duds.
-
the Packers-Vikings was a quality game................Eagles-Giants was bad football, unless you love the Big Play, Al Davis would have loved it lol
-
I paid more attention to the first half of the vikings-pack game, the pack definitely made a run.

it was more of a passionate game then a quality game

Well since the Raiders are done (and have been for weeks) my main focus is now my top two picks for the Super Bowl this year. I've got my money on the Saints and the Bengals.

Did you put any money down on them? My friend put $100 down on the Bengals at 40:1, who would have guessed that has the potential to pay off.
-
All I know is that I won a bet on the Chargers-Giants game this past weekend......
"The usual amount. One dollar."
(bonus points if you know what movie that quote comes from..... :234567 )
Haha Trading Places?

i LOST money on that game, damn Philip Rivers and his Draft payback :(
i DO love Trading Places though :543

I didn't bet this weekend, the spreads were so wide it was tough to figure out.

i dont do spreads, i bet on Accumulators.............i put a dollar on 1 game, and if it wins it goes onto the 2nd, and the 3rd and so on........but 1 loss ruins it, and that 1 loss this week was the Giants, closest ive ever come to winning big, 10euro bet would have won me about 9k on a 10 game accumulator :879
ah well, you dont miss what you dont have lol

I think it's a shame that here can not see american football.

Thanks for the advice I'm going to look.

You actually admit to being a Raider fan?. OUCH. My favorite teams are the Bengals (we've had some bad years as well) and the NO Saints. Both of them are doing great this year.

I could see the Saints winning the Superbowl this year. Brees has continued his fantastic form

Raiders fan since 1985^^
So, how about them Saints? 13-0 and still my pick to go all the way.
-
The saints defense will let them down.
-
A lot of talk about the Saints but what about Indy?
~Miami Fins Fan~
-
This is the first year that I've watched American Football. It happens to be on telly most days at the time I'm at the gym and have begun watching it there. Previously I've always found it to be slow, boring and repetitive, but after watching a bit this year I have grown more tolerant. It is nice to be open minded.
I have chosen to be a Green Bay fan - I'm not entirely sure why. It may be because I had the EA game on PS1 years ago and the Packers were by far the strongest team with a good QB, HB and WRs.
Anyway, moral to the story is its been fun having a new sporting interest.
-
Yep sounds like those were the best packers years. The QB you played with on your game is still playing, plays for the vikings now.
-

~Miami Fins Fan~
I've been having this vision of the Colts choking in their first playoff game in my head for quite some time. Plus, they're already won a Super Bowl, let's give the Saints a chance in the spotlight :-p.
-
Interesting that with a new 24hr sports channel here in Sydney, I've been catching a couple of NFL games. Last night i watched the NY Giants get beaten by the Philadelphia Eagles. Man, how fast is Desean Jackson(10) of the eagles?! It was a good game. I'm like Davky, it's new to me, but I'm coming around.

Good point!
I may be American, but it also took awhile for this sport to get my attention. I've found that NFL football is rather repetitive but the fun seems to come from picking a team and watching how they do. The shorter seasons also help keep your attention as apposed to several other sports which can feel like they drag on a little too long.
-
From a newbies point of view, I wish every play were a Hail Mary - fun, fast and awesome when they come off.
-
Glad to see so many non-US fans of my favorite sport^^. You guys are nicer to American Football than we are to European Football :-p.

Oh yeah!!! Boo-yaka-Sha!!!! What a win for the eagles! Now were top of the NFC East!!! :543
And yes, Desean Jackson is one to watch for the future. GO EAGLES!!

The Colts have gotten lucky this season: a lot. Thursday was just another example of this, (Jacksonville was about to score but chocked and threw an interception to lose the game.) Indianapolis will faultier eventually.

I don't know if I would say the Colts have got lucky as they usually as much as I would say Peyton has played amazing.
-
The bears have let me down this season. Things were supposed to be different with cutler, but i guess not. I just get sad every sunday knowing that another defeat lies before us. But there is always next year!

Ouch the bears have probably had about as bad a year as a team could have. Played well below their expectations.

the Colts are not lucky, they are good.....while Peyton is on the field teams tend to throw more and scramble for points knowing that Manning can score pretty much at will this year. Garrard was overthrowing his recievers all 4th quarter trying to build a lead, Bill Belichick went for it on 4th down deep in his own territory knowing that if they punted Manning would drive down the field and win anyway
the Colts are good, you can win a couple of games out of luck, but 14-0 is skill, not luck, no-one can luck their way to 14-0
Colts = the best team in the NFL, and that hurts being a Giants fan
-
I've just looked up the Play-Off Standings and things don't look good for the Eagles :(. We're in the 3rd seed for the NFC Wild Cards and we'd play the Cowboys, which'll be a very tough match. And if we win that, we'd play the Saints :S
I know the Saints are slipping up at the momemt but I still think of them as a strong team this year

the Cowboys wont go to the playoffs, my Giants will.....now THAT will be a game :)
-
Giants > Cowboys (why do so many people like them?)
Miami, Miami, Miami :0988
-
Meanwhile my San Diego Chargers are quietly on a 9-game winning streak and clinching their division...... :234567 :234567
But they still have to manage to somehow win in the playoffs with Norv Turner as their coach.
-
What a night!!
- The Colts lose for the first time this season, as a result of putting out there B team
- The Saints lost to the Bucs!!!!
- Philidelphia pipped it at the last to beat Denver in a great game. This the. throws the AFC Wildcard spots wide open !
- The Bengals clinched their division
- 2 40 point games = Green Bay 48-10 Seattle and Carolina 44-9 (Im not exactly sure those are the scores)
Wow! :879

Definitely an interesting day, I think the Colts just lost their chance at the super bowl today. If there was a way to wager on whether their coach gets fired at teh end of next year or not I would bet that he does. I think it is all downhill for teh colts after today.
-
Go Cowboys! Clinched a playoff spot today! :2345 :234567
-
BEARS WON!!! bears beat the vikings :66664333 too bad it doesnt really mean anything, and our season is over after next week :45
-
Go Cowboys! Clinched a playoff spot today! :2345 :234567
With a big game next week for home field advantage.

What happened to the Eagles this week! :0988 They got ripped to shreds by Dallas and now we missed out on the chance to overtake Minnesota and get a bye from mext week :0988 No one could catch and no one could tackle! :0988 :0988
Grr!

I would have LOVED to have the Vikings get screwed out of a bye and actually have to fight to succeed in the playoffs. Maybe next week the outcome will be reversed for that game (hopefully)
Hopefully! :786
-
My favorite teams are the Bengals (we've had some bad years as well) and the NO Saints. Both of them are doing great this year.
Awesome, I thought I was going to be the only Bengals fan.
-
Playoffs start this saturday. Will be nice to see some real football. The last 2 weeks all the playoff teams had been sitting their starters. Will be nice to have NFL Playoffs balance out with Hockey Night in Canada.
-
Here's to hoping the Eagles get their bearings back and wipe the floor with those Cowboys. I'm not an Eagles fan, just a die hard Cowboys hater.
-
As an Eagles fan, I'm really not as worried as last week, but we'll still probably lose. Why must Eagles fans be tortured every year?
Especially the first year I watched NFL :( they got to the Superbowl and lost with a late field goal for the Pats :(
-
As the Eagles game is showing here at 1am, I can't stay up to watch it. However I am going to sleep in my Eagles shirt to support them :2345 Even though it's going to be really uncomfortable :S
-
That Cardinals and Packers game was sooo epic, plus it was the only game where I correctly picked the winner therefore raising my score from 0-3 to 1-3.
-
hard luck Randomer, tough loss, especially to the cowboys.....i was rooting for the Eagles too :)
what a wild card weekend though!!!!!
Patriots being owned, Packers-Cards incredible game, Dallas thumping the Eagles, Jetsvdoing the Bengals......THIS is why i love the NFL!!!!
-
So what is everyone's predictions for this round?
Ravens>Colts (The Colts may be a better team statwise, but I think they're going to choke)
Jets>Chargers (Same as above, the Chargers haven't proven themselves to be able to go all the way)
Vikings>Cowboys (Dome+Favre=victory)
Saints>Cardinals (Whoever plays defense will win this one, I pick the Saints)
FYI, looks like the NFL is making a trip to London next season staring two of my least favorite teams, the Niners and the Broncos.
-
Colts over Ravens - D is too old and secondary too beat up to handle Manning
Chargers over Jets - Recievers all 6-4+, Rivers playing amazingly, D has improved...will be close due to the Jets running game and D, but the Chargers have too much class
Vikings over Cowboys - 1 thing will decide this, Dallas running game vs Vikings run D, and i think the Vikings will contain them
Saints over Cards - Saints running game will be back, it will be a shootout like Cards v Green Bay, LOTS of points, Saints by 1 FG in overtime
-
Down to:
Colts Vs. Jets
Vikings Vs. Saints
I'd like to see Indy and NO face off...
-
hey, i got 3 out of 4, im happy with that :)
im going for a Colts-Saints game :)
-
Dolphins fans delight in the Jets loss! Oh the fun of rivalries.
:123456
-
here is what will happen:
Colts 34
Saints 17
-
I'm Looking forward to the SuperBowl. The only American football event that is shown on German television.
-
Super Bowl Virgins vs two time winners. Despite the Colts IMO having a bigger advantage I still think the Saints can win it if they play the correct defense. They need to worry more about grounding Manning than putting their own points on the board,
-
I would have liked to see the Vikings get through but the Saints are still cool, and yes, this is sure to be one of the top Superbowls of the Millenium! :786
FYI, looks like the NFL is making a trip to London next season staring two of my least favorite teams, the Niners and the Broncos.
I know. I was dissapointed when I heard as my and my Dad have gone the last 2 years, and there has at least been 1 good team there. With this move they're lookin to please all the 30-50 year olds who grew up in the glory days of the 49ers and the Broncos.
But there was some hope as there was set to be another match, and the Eagles were one of the Top Favourites to be the Home Team so I was really excited to find out the teams for the 2nd match. But the NFL dissapoints me and many other UK fans by announcing there is no 2nd match, have fun with 2 of the most unseen teams of the decade :0988 There have even been loads of complaints over the 2 teams picked on the BFL website. So I've decided to skip it this year :( No reason to pay a lot of money to not enjoy it :(
-
I don't think there is any point in creating a London team to play in the NFL. They should just concentrate on making American Football a bigger sport in the UK with our own league. Definitely be worth the while if they could find enough players

They already tried having NFL Europe, it was a big failure.

Oh :( Probably shows by the fact I've never heard of it in the 5 years I've watched NFL =/

They tried it here in Australia too when a couple of American NFL teams played a game in Sydney about 10 years ago , but it never caught on.

Yep it was an American NFL pre-season game between the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos. Here's a link to a Sports Illustrated article on it...

So now that we are just a few days away from the Super bowl, who is going to win?
I'll side with the Colts.
-
No one has anything to say about the game? That awesome onside kick to start the second half? Peyton's interception? Feelings seem to be mixed on the whole thing but I personally enjoyed it. It wasn't the offensive spectacular people were wanting but instead was just a plain old good football game and showed how taking some risks can help you win in the end.
For once It's nice to hear more people talking about the game and not the commercials or half time show.
-
hated the outcome. :0988

Today, I read that the German Football Player Moritz Böhringer is drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. I hope he learn very fast and make Germany proude
