The NFL Thread

Myers is brutal

 

If we can't win this with Wentz and Graham out of the game...

 

Garrett finally gone from Dallas.

Surprised he lasted so long.

 

That was stressful. Can't see us beating GB but you never know

 

Glad the Vikings won just because I heard so many people saying the Saints were going to smash them and people were picking them to win the whole thing. I always thought Vikings were live dogs in this game I should've put money on it.

 

Mike McCarthy new head coach of the Cowboys.

Surprised with that. McCarthy's year off done wonders for his PR

 

Booked the Monday off for Superbowl

Becoming more and more invested in the sport these days. Wouldn't mind going to a pub but will probably sit in my living room with a few beers

 

Get yourself down to London for the NFL games this year.

 

I won tickets for a game the other year through My Sky VIP but couldn't make it.

Definitely want to do that at some point

 

Geez a shout if you do.

I'm not nearly as informed as most in here, got a decent understanding of the sport, but even I was able to recognise how much better it was watching it live.

 

Did I hear "talk-celtic-weekend-london-nfl-meet-up"?

 

Looks class that. Such a * story. Some talent too, him and Gronk were unreal together.

 

I went to the Ravens Jags game a few years back when they absolutely done us 44-7. Left before we scored our TD. Never again.

 

I went down with 4 mates to Bucs Panthers game. It was great although my pal who is a Bucs fan didn't enjoy Winston throwing 5 interceptions! That was my first live game and it was an enjoyable experience.

I've been following most weeks this season and watched all the play off games so far. A few of us are going to my mates house for the Superbowl which we've done for 4 or 5 years now and it's always a good night.

I'm a Raiders fan so I've become used to disappointment and inconsistency throughout the year. Hopefully we can improve from 7-9 next year in Vegas.

 

What did you think of the Spurs stadium? I went on the tour last month.

How do you feel about the move to Vegas?

 

It was really good, we had good seats at corner of end zone, down fairly low. We got there early and went into the shop like proper tourists. The self-pouring pints are very handy although wasn't keen on £6 for Bud Light but it wasn't unexpected.

On the move to Vegas; I'm not overly knowledgeable and whilst I've been following the Raiders (very casually) for a few years, this is the first season I've been watching every game and joining FB groups etc so I don't really have a strong opinion at the moment. The movement to a full different city/state is alien to me although I know it's common in American sports.

I've seen the ticket prices and it looks like the cheapest single game ticket is $500 so they're obviously reliant on folk in Vegas with big money wanting to attend!

 

I'm pretty similar to you. I follow the Giants but again, it's been fairly casual for a few years. Been keeping up with it more and making more of an effort to understand the game in the past couple of years, which has increased my enjoyment of it. I thought Spurs stadium was nice, but had to laugh at the prices they're charging for two of their restaurants per season. Most exclusive one is the H club (tour wasn't even allowed in to it) and it's £60k a season to be a member. Other one seems better. It's a restaurant/bar right next to the player's tunnel, so you'd see them coming out before the game etc. Obviously really swanky in there too.

I find the moving thing mental as well. New team in a different city, but can immediately sell out a stadium. Understand why it happens but it must be * for the fans in Oakland.
