[Other Sport] The Official NFL 2021 Thread

A better performance by Mills and my Texans this week (it couldn't have been worse), but took the 'L' after a last gasp Pats FG.

The AFC South currently has as many wins combined from all 4 teams as Arizona have by themselves.

And 3 of those 5 wins came from beating other AFC South teams.

I'll say it again....7-10 should do it.

Even forgetting the ridiculousness of the kicking, the Packers game was something else - some great defence and wonderful offence on both sides.

Crosby missed more field goals in 10 minutes than he'd previously missed in 2 years - I've never previously seen two FGs hit the post in the same match.

Bring on the Bears!

My Broncos managed another game where we only decided to play in the second half. Nearly made a great comeback but that can't mask the problem we have on both sides of the ball at the moment.

Fuller had an absolute nightmare game which didn't help and neither did the leverage call which turned three points for the Steelers into an opportunity to get seven which the gladly accepted.

After a 1-4 start and a little over a month into the season the Giants season is looking like it is virtually over. Defense was shocking but at least Saquon's injury is only a sprain and not a fracture, Daniel Jones also suffered a concussion. We looked like we didn't belong in the same league as the Cowboys - very depressing



We should get one of these gizmos for injuries at the Amex

Washington continue to infuriate as always. Changes need to happen in the secondary, and Del Rio really should be considering his future. Still at least I had a good day out at the Falcons/Jags game. Not the greatest of games but the Jets did add some spice to it second half.

Also how about that Browns/Chargers game. Wowzers!

How was the NFL experience at the Spurs stadium? I am going next week and intrigued to know if its much better (viewing particularly) than wembley given it was designed with NFL in mind.

I want Urban out.

It is, but our injury situation is horrific.

It’s not like we have decent cover….

I have an unfathomable hatred for Matt Lefleur's oh so perfect hair.

How Collins continues to start while Curl and Everett are only seeing limited snaps is beyond me.

Also as concerning is the lack of game time for Jamin Davis who despite Bostic’s season ending injury isn’t getting a lot of game time.

Far better than Wembley, you feel a lot closer to the action. We were in the second tier of the 'away end' behind the sticks and had a perfect view. Audio and big screens were excellent as well. Although the falcon screech noise that was played every time Atlanta got a first down was very grating!

Catering was absolutely shambolic where we were, though - the automatic (bottom up) pint filler machines weren't working so they were pouring the drinks by hand from cans. Queues of up to a hour to get anything to eat or drink. If you think The Amex is bad......

Wembley also had the benefit of being able to host a decent sized fanzone (although not sure that would be possible any more given all the recent construction); at Spurs you basically just walk up the Seven Sisters road and you're at the turnstiles. So there wasn't the same 'festival' feel to the day.

Was too knackered to stay up last night, so only just catching up with last night's game at KC; starting to think that my Bills might be ready to do something really special this season.

It’s really good. It’s an excellent NFL stadium. Great sight lines everywhere and when the crowd gets going it is loud. Even though the Dolphins are popular I think the UK Jags fans will create an atmosphere next week.

Aside from the away end corner which is a bottle neck the bars are really good on the lower tier concourse which you can walk all the way round. Not much going on outside, I couldn’t really see any tailgating going on, best just to head inside.

Enjoy the game!

Thanks for both above replies - and noted re lack of fanzone. Will probably just find a pub near Liv Street to have beers before! Looking forward to it

Certainly a team in good form, just had an impressive come-from-behind win against the Colts on MNF.

Love the US pronunciation of JagWAHHHs!

Are you confusing the Ravens and Jags?

Sorry if I’ve missed something.

Oh yes, sorry! My bad.

Had the last Q of the Colts Ravens game on at 7am this morning, and the commentators were for some reason talking about the JagWAHHs, so in my early morning bleariness got 'em confused!

Lol. Jagwahhs currently on a 20 year losing streak, we can’t buy a win

My 35 year interest in NFL ebbs and flows, I’m not a nsc NFL expert. But watching the BBC2 show just now, I was stunned by the incredible new LA Chargers SoFi stadium. 70,000 huge seats, costing over $5B, it’s incredible.

What are we supposed to say, Jag-you-wires??

This thread warms my heart. Dolphins fan here, a promising season already in the toilet. Tua can't stay healthy, the offensive line is terrible, there's no running game to speak of. Oh and the defensive secondary, the strength of the team, got absolutely shredded by Tom Brady on Sunday. Shredded.

I did not learn until recently that teams playing in London are given the option of having their bye the following week--I thought it was a given. But apparently Miami wants to keep playing--their bye isn't until Week 14.

My Miami agony is tempered by watching Urban Meyer, Leader of Men(TM), getting his ass handed to him on the regular. You can't asshole your way to success up here guy.
