American football

So many bills fans around town over the last couple of days. Really good showing. Have they played in London before?

Yeah - saw them play against the Jags back in 2015. It was a Jags home game then, think it's a Bills home game this time.

Finally, I can wear my Bears hat without being mocked in the street.

Waves in Texans gear.....

Props to Josh Allen, Jaguars linebacker not the QB.. very insightful and remarkable back story / interview on TalkSport ahead of todays match.

These players are media trained for sure.

Belongs on the memes thread but maybe too niche

Nosebleed seats this week. Good view regardless

So. So loud. Bills fans absolutely merit their reputation.

Pretty pleased with our seats for these games - 5 rows from the front. Not great for actually following the game at times, but incredible for the atmosphere.
Chuffed at a Jags win - if I don't particularly care either way which team wins at the London games then I'll always root for the underdog, and it was a pretty close game towards the end too - a perfect situation all round.

In fact I can see us in this photo - just above the 'F' in Fedex, you can't miss my mate Lee in his highlighter yellow Seahawks jersey.

Oof. Good seats. I'm near there with @cornelius_blackfoot today to boo the Titans.

Also. My guy.

Are Cleveland going to take san francisco’s perfect record???

Yes! Yes they did.
49ers with the missed field goal to end it.

Fuck yeah! Tough win against the Saints today with a good showing from the D. Same 3-3 record as the Bengals and already more wins than last season. This season is going to be a hell of a ride. Vamos Texans!

What.
The.
Fuck.
9ers.

Refball on this last drive has been unreal.
200yd in penalties…

Also, same question, Eagles?

If you'd have taken this photo a bit later, then we'd have been in it, for sure! We're 5 rows from the front, pretty much exactly there, yep!

Was good watching the game with @Aroogah, my ongoing lamenting the lack of a decent running game from both teams, despite multiple examples to both offensive co-ordinators that the running game wasn't working (Derrick Henry 60yd burst aside) I'm sure wasn't the easiest thing to be listening to.
Lamar Jackson was the best player on the field by a long way, and when he was getting the pass game going Baltimore looked a good team, but their emphasis on early down runs, which would get them 1-2 yds, and then having to look for something longer to get the first down was super frustrating.
Think Baltimore have the Lions up next, and they have a more coherent attack, both running and passing, as well as a more intimidating defense, I don't think that game is going to be close , but I thought the same about the tampa bay one just gone.

The Jets defense is top notch! Watched the highlights and they just need Zach Wilson to not lose the game for them, and that defense looks like it'll do enough to either keep them in it, or win it for them.
Wilson needs to be better though, Salah must hope every defensive takeaway is run back for a touchdown, as the offense struggles so much trying to score. But at least Wilson is making some plays, giving Garret Wilson some jump balls to go and grab and using his legs to get some first downs. Not going to be easy for the jets the rest of the season, but hoping they make the playoffs, at least for the drama of the will he won't he return of rodgers, and the fact that it'll give Salah and this team which seems to be on the verge of doing something special (if they have a QB who can score them some points) at least another season together..

The Jets pass defense is top notch!

No idea why the Eagles passed so much when it wasn't working, and the Jets don't have form defending the run game. I'm seriously doubting the play calling coming out of Philly right now.

Haven't really watched much of mcafee (and could someone tell me what sidekick on the split screen does? Does he talk at all, or just smoke cigars every episode?) so this is the first actual bit of content I've viewed, and I'm watching it/posting it just because of the super hot takeness of asking whether the Lions are favourites for the superbowl? Which feels so, so premature.

If the lions get to double digit wins, if they get the 2 or 3 seed in the NFC, then we can talk, then we can start blowing smoke up their arses. But after them getting to 5-1?
FML, also all the rest of the bandwagon jumpers will jump off as soon as the road gets a bit rocky..

AJ Hawk. Ask @Soul about Packers great AJ Hawk.

AJ is a nice counterpoint to McAfee. I just find McAfee grates after too long. He's good, just not for me.
