The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[ADVILLAFAN]

The Buffalo Bills' all-time interceptions leader is called Butch Byrd

Don't know whether mentioned earlier in thread, but, stumbled on Sky Mix the other day. It has a fair amount of proper match highlights rather than the 2 minute flick through that we get on the BBC's NFL Show.

No major surprises in the College Play off selections, though I think Washington were lucky with that piss easy non Conf schedule yet it was the Buckeyes win at OU that probably got them the nod on Penn State.

Alabama's to lose in my opinion.

OU need to sort that defense out for next season and they might be in with a shout.

This year's College Football season completely passed me by. I haven't been watching PTI or listening to Kornheiser lately. Even if I wasn't actually watching games, those two sources at least kept me up to date with events

They also show Redzone. Useful when at my missus' house as she doesn't have Sky, but has that channel.

Bears continue our pattern of losing 3 and winning 1. Carry on and we would sweep the Vikings.

Wouldn't be devastated if the Bears lost to the Lions this week, don't want the Manchester United Packers winning the league....

Kansas looked good again vs Atlanta.

Big game vs Oalkand next.

Dallas keep on winning, NY next.
Interesting that many still don't fancy them to win Super Bowl, though.

They probably should have lost to the Vikings, but have a great Offensive Line, Running-Back and a young QB who's been very impressive so far. Also some decent receivers too.

Their Defence isn't great, but wear out the opposition with long Offensive drives.

Rams fire Fisher a fortnight after extending his contract, and Republicans from Washington (the state, not the city) launch a bill to allow fans to take guns into games with them. I can't see what could possibly go wrong with that.

I've often though what America needs is more guns and greater access to them.

2017 London games...

Ravens @ Jaguars
Saints @ Dolphins
Vikings @ Browns (Twickenham)
Cardinals @ Rams (Twickenham)

[ADVILLAFAN]

I definitely fancy the Browns game the most, as if I had an AFC team it would be them and also they're playing a divisional rival of Da Bears.

Shame that Twickenham is such a pain in the bum to get out of.

Suppose Ravens @ Jaguars could be decent.

All decent; Cardinals @ Rams is a divisional matchup and Saints Dolphins has Britain's Jay Ajayi. Feel like the Dolphins have played nearly as many matches here as the Jaguars.

If you are not selling your seats at home, expect a trip to London.

Twickenham is a pain to get to and a dump of a venue. I was going to suggest to my mate that we skip those games and just do the two at Wembley.

However, I've just had a message from a Vikes supporting friend in the Colonies saying that she's planning to come over for their game. Therefore, I'd better go to that one as well
