American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

Teams hold their cities to ransom. "Build us a stadium, or we move!".

Except for Green Bay. Owned by the fans. We'll never move.

 

I'm wondering if I've chosen the wrong team to support

 

You very much have.

 

What's wrong with the Ravens? Apart from them moving from Cleveland.

 

The Packers will never move. I've known lots of people whose teams have moved, and they're left stuck not knowing what to do.

They have, by far, the best history in the NFL. It's not even close.

They're awfully good right now too, and are in the top two teams expected to win the NFC next year.

Their support is, in my estimation, the most loyal NFL group of fans in the world. I meet them wherever I go.

They won it all in '67 too.

Come on over to the Green & Gold side...

Support the Patriots FFS. We are from Boston. The IRISH bit of America.

Anyone else going to London for any of the games next season?

 

It's definitely between the Ravens and Packers. Reason for supporting Ravens? I had them backed in the Super Bowl and they're the first team I've ever supported in a Super Bowl. They're also the only team I know anything about.

Packers? Their history is appealing and the fact that they'll never move.

 

It's also New England...

 

What in the blue * are you talking about?

 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You're supposed to be anti Ravens ffs.

 

Boston is traditionally thought of as being an Irish town.

Of course, there are Northern Irish Huns living there too...

 

This.

Over here it is generally thought of as the Irish place in America.

 

How does the season work? Does everyone from AFC play each other once and everyone from NFC play each other once?

 

Slaw, support the Saints! They are the best team to watch and are going to win the Superbowl next year :icon_mrgreen:

 

The Ravens won't be leaving Baltimore so if you like them then stick with them.

If the thought of supporting a team that changes cities really bothers you then the only teams you need to avoid are the Jaguars, the Rams, the Raiders and possibly the Chargers and the Vikings. All the other teams will be staying where they are.

 

This is definitely the least biased post I have ever read on this forum.

 

Outside of Green Bay, I don't think you can honestly say that a team will never move. Who would have thought the Baltimore Colts would have moved? Or the Cleveland Browns? Two historic teams, with deep roots in their communities and in the NFL.

But the teams you mention, yeh, they are most likely to move.

 

Actually, it's all rather based on fact.


The Packers will never move. I've known lots of people whose teams have moved, and they're left stuck not knowing what to do.

They can never move. It is written in their title deeds that if they fold or move, their assets are given to a local charity (I think it's the American Legion).


They have, by far, the best history in the NFL. It's not even close.

More World Titles than any other team, with 13.



They're awfully good right now too, and are in the top two teams expected to win the NFC next year.

San Fran is the favorite to win the NFC, with Green Bay placed second.



Their support is, in my estimation, the most loyal NFL group of fans in the world. I meet them wherever I go.

That is sheer fact, as I stated that it is "in my estimation"!!



They won it all in '67 too.

Can't take that away from them.

 

Bought Madden 13 today. Get that up and running and il be right involved with this thread soon enough.
