The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[SteveN]

I watched until half time, the thought of having to watch Maroon 5 was all it needed.

I though nobody liked the Pats?  I was confused by their support and lack of it for the Rams, presumably there would have been plenty of neutrals there?

What a load of absolute shite that was.

[Jon Crofts]

I feel sorry for The Patriots, they have to go visit the orange twat in The White House now. I wonder how many will turn up with Tom?

[garyshawsknee]

Was gonna watch it live for the first time but fell asleep, just watched the highlights, glad I fell asleep.

Certainly not an offencive spectacle.
However, it was a defencive masterclass from the Patriots.

I've no problem with the Pats as a football team, just the politics of Kraft and Brady

Very poor superbowl, one was due having had two of the best ever back to back. Remarkable the Rams were still in it so late given how shit they'd been on offense. Pats always looked more capable of moving the ball even though they tended to stall outside the red zone. Trying not to hate them and appreciate them for being historically good but it's not easy. To be honest my hope is that they fail when Brady and/or Bellichick are still there. Maybe next year.

I only watch the first half, like others I couldn't face the half-time show so that had always been the plan. Both teams were superb in defence but it was a hard watch, Edelman's running lines were excellent though, rightly the MVP because he was literally the only thing separating the sides that I saw.

New England, cheaters on and off the pitch!

Dunno why but it amuses me that one of the accused is called Goering.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Cleveland Browns have released Jamie Collins.

Rumoured that they are planning a big move in free agency.

[cdbearsfan]

The Browns get OBJ.

That's was the big move, then.

[ExclDawg]

Browns wheeling and dealing!  It's finally a fun time to be a Browns fan again.  If they can rise from the ashes, so can Villa!

[ADVILLAFAN]

They've got an Interior D Lineman too, so if they can get an Edge Rusher they really will have an excellemt team

LeVeon Bell supposedly off to the Jets.

[ExclDawg]

They did get an edge rusher.  Traded for Olivier Vernon to pair up with Myles Garrett.  Their front 4 is looking good, and the offense looks stacked.  Went from a team that should have been relegated to the Canadian League, to one that could win it all in just 2 years.
