The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[Dave Cooper please]

On CBS News this morning, the NFL to review the extra point kick as it's a 99.99999999999999999999999% certainty, could go for a 7 point score for a TD instead and no extra point kick.

Blindfold the kicker.

[OCD]

I've developed a bit of a dislike for the 49ers too. Nothing to do with them beating my team in the Play-Offs 2 years on the trot. No siree.

I've thought Seattle would win it for a few months now so I can't back against them now.

Don't forget they beat you in the regular season too ;-)     Mind you, we're playing them next season, so I should shut up.

Yeah but I can live with that especially as it was a very close game at the start of the season.

[Meanwood Villa]

If they're saying the kick's so easy there's no point taking it then maybe they could move the kick further back

[Meanwood Villa]

Or just have 2 point conversions

[OCD]

I quite like the decision of whether to go for the easy 1 point or whether to risk it and go for the 2. It only seems like it's the 4th quarter where teams ask this question though so maybe scrap the additional point in the first 3 quarters and keep it as it is for the 4th quarter?

[Rotterdam]

Disappointed for my 49ers, Seattle were better defensively though.
Maybe next year?

I'll be supporting the Seahawks...

I'd like to see a new team win it. I don't mind Denver but I'll be cheering for the Ospreys.

The NFL copying yet another rule from the old "World Football League"

Now that's what I'd spend my money on if I was rich.

[ADVILLAFAN]

That's probably only about £500'000, a snip really.

Sounds good. You book it, I'll pay you back.









One day.

I was at the Met Life Stadium today for a meeting, you'd have thought a week before Super Bowl the place would be buzzing with activity and people readying things, nope, it was like a ghost town.

Come on you Niners!!!!


Ps what's with the  'Omaha' shouts from Manning? Change of plays?

not sure if this gets answered, but here.

Nothing is going on at that stadium (except for a HUGE secruity project) until Friday.

I am going to the NFL Super Bowl Blvd thing in the city on Thursday.  I figure we will never have a superbowl within driving distance for me again, so why not. Even if we do get one within 200 miles of me (NYCis like 30 miles) it will be in MA or PA or somewhere thats just too far. 

The teams don't even fly in until Monday, and will be practicing at high school facilities in NJ (from what a friend who is volunteering mentioned).

I find it funny that they are desperate for "volunteers" to help set-up and work...I mean... ummm. volunteer... on super bowl sunday.
But they don't get anything out of it.
