The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[UK Redsox]

There were never any signs that it was working out for Zammo.

Almost impossible for a player in a 'skill' position to take up the game a decade or more after the people he's competing against.

Non-North American Linemen and Kickers can make it, but even then most switch sports at the college level.

No Mick Luckhurst.

No Mick Luckhurst.

...or John Smith

Other than sharing an elevator with Zach Thomas, my NFL adjacent claim to fame is that I used to circuit train with John's brother Martyn.

They seem to have trialled a satellite tracking system, for determining where the ball is and whether it's a first down or not.

Terrible news for Green Bay fans, as they used to get every dodgy call going, especially at Lambeau....

It would be foolish to read too much into pre-season games. But Da Bears are going to the Super Bowl!

I've seen this story before. Based on nothing other than history, I'll go 7-10

The Packers sign Michah Parsons from the Cowboys.

The Packers sign Michah Parsons from the Cowboys.

For 2x 1sts and Kenny Clark.

Seems like a great deal for the Packers and gives them a chance to compete for the Super Bowl.

Can't believe even the Cowboys have been that stupid tbh.

Green Bay would piss me off most, so that's what I've bet on.

Since the Raiders are likely to be one of their varying levels of shit, I hope that the Bills finally come through.

Come on the Cowboys

I think I’ll have more chance of seeing a flying pig, though!

Should be a piece of piss for most on here. I admit I struggled with some of the AFC teams. You can just write the nickname in rather then the full city/area plus nickname.
