The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[usav]

The Browns actually played really well and showed the form that people thought they would have this season.   Well done.

But again, ahem... how 'bout them Cowboys?

They're really starting to struggle in a few areas now with the added bonus that 40yr old Brad will be looking after the offense for a good few weeks now! Didn't Brett Favre play with a broken thumb??

Still, none of it as tragically funny as losing at home to The Rams!!  :smt002

went last year, cant afford it this year

Waiting to see if the Bears or Browns play at Wembley one year. Seems like the Browns are very unlikely to play here though.

[Drummond]

went last year and won't bother again, it was tedious and expensive.

I guess if the weather had been better and the QBs had been able to throw it might have turned out more interesting.

The main problem was the complete lack of atmosphere. there were hardly any fans of either side there, we were all day-trippers.

Question to the US fans of ours

What is the atmosphere like at games - surely its not the tribalistic chanting like at our games or is it

What do fans do in between plays / quarters / time outs

I would love to see a game live but i genuinely do not know the answers to these questions.

I know they have an all day affair in the car parks with barbies and all sorts - again would not be a UK thing for so many reasons

1) Atmosphere is still great. Home fans tend to keep quiet when their Offense is on the field so that the players can communicate better. When the home Defense is playing then its time to chant.....



2) Drink beer, drink beer and drink beer

3) Just like Rugby internationals used to be at Twickenham back in the 1970's & 1980's.

Some of the bigger University matches have great atmosphere  - with the marching bands playing the Schools' "fight" songs (sung heartily by the students and alumni).....

"Good old rocky top, rocky top Tennessee....."

[sali,salifou]

look at the titans go, 17-0 up before half time, love it!

[UK Redsox]

Oh dear Cowboys fans, the wheels appear to have come off.

Shock of the week...... the Raiders actually won a game.

Non-shock of the week...... Lions are still winless
