The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

I watched NFL red zone yesterday rather than full game and must say it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Red Zone (especially in the 4th Quarter of the early games) is the best way to watch the NFL on TV

Yep, anyone who moans about the breaks in NFL should watch Redzone, it's amazing.

The only problem is that I do quite like watching a good punt.

Patriots lose in a torrential downpour in Cincy.

Also, the Golden Boy's consecutive game touchdown throwing streak was ended at 52.

[UK Redsox]

500+ yards passing and then at the last gasp its Romo-being-Romo, throws an interception in his own half and hands the game on a plate to the Broncos

[ADVILLAFAN]

Always nice to see the Patriots lose.

Tough few games for my Bears, although we have 2 winnable games in the Giants and Redskins coming up and a bye week after that.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss..................... Raiders are coming to Wemberleeee next season.

Shame that they're crap

I've only just heard the news

The NFL will stage three games in London next year as it pushes towards having a franchise in the city.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders will all play 'home' games in 2014 at Wembley against opponents yet to be named.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Would like to see another NFL game sometime, have to see if Chicago are playing any of those 3 teams next year.

Would fancy us to beat the Raiders and definitely the Jaguars, but be soundly beaten by the Falcons.

[cdbearsfan]

We're away to the Falcons next year, but don't play the other two.

Your Bears must be crap. They're the first team this season that's failed to score 30 against the New York Football Giants

[cdbearsfan]

Made it a lot closer than I would've liked, still, it'll do.

Very sad news about Adrian Peterson's little boy, RIP.

Very sad news about Adrian Peterson's little boy, RIP.

Yes. Difficult with any child let alone one who is only 2 living away from you with his mum and boyfriend. Then to find he's been beaten to death by the complete prick boyfriend is beyond tragic. He'll get his when he gets to jail.

I've recently watched a couple of those "A Football Life" documentaries. Good stuff. A few observations: the Americans don't half love their schmaltz, the stirring soundtrack is unnecessary, Walter Payton was not what you'd call a team player (eg he was devastated when the Bears won the Super Bowl because he didn't score a TD) and Mike Ditka will do anything for money.
