[Other Sport] The Official NFL 2021 Thread

[JJ McClure]

Following the draft I think it's time to start the 2021 thread for the upcoming season.

News out today is the planned return of NFL games to London post pandemic.

Both at Spurs (boo) we should get the joy of...Jet v Falcons (10th Oct) and Dolphins v Jags (17th Oct)

What is the typical ticketing process for these games? Do you have register / ballot, or normally general sale?

Last time they played at Spurs, their season ticket holders got first dibs.

Register your interest to keep in touch with details. They will sell season tickets first, single game tickets later on. These two games look to be total belters so will sell very quickly indeed.

Spurs is a great NFL stadium, had a great time at the Bears/Raiders game last time round.

Did they? I do not recall that.

My youngest lad will be happy - big Dolphins fan!
Not sure if we will get tix, but will try as best we can!

Having enjoyed the last Super Bowl and been into NFL during the '80s, I've decided to get back into this starting this coming season. Never really had a team but always had a soft spot for the Seahawks (bit like Seagulls). Controversially though, I'm going to be a quiet and distant member of the Raider Nation this season. As Star Wars fan, I just couldn't resist that Death Star stadium. Go Raiders!

Also, what's the best way to follow games from here other than through subscriptions and the BBC's highlights shows?

NFL Gamepass is essential in my view.

For free stuff head off into podcast land and YouTube. Around The NFL is the go to all purpose NFL pod, for a good British take then I recommend The Gridiron Gentlemen.

I follow the WFT and have Washington Football Talk, The Hog Sty, Tae & Todd, Harry Hog, Seasons of Discontent, the Washington Wrap and there are many more I do not get around too. I also have various you tubers to follow too. I'd imagine for the Raiders there will be a ridiculous amount of content available. Dive in and enjoy!

Hello everybody! The countdown starts here!

I'm dumping Sky Sports this year (never watch it any more, not even when Brighton are on), so I'll probably go for something like Gamepass.

Being a Raiders fan another year of shattered dreams

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Looking forward to 2021 (supporting the Cards). Just hope Murray can rid himself of those costly mistakes and we might sneak into the playoffs this year.

 

[Eggman]

Skol! Vikings.

17th October - potentially the chance to see Tim Tebow in action as a 33 year old Tight End for the Jags

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It’s mad, we can bathe in the excitement and frenzy around having a new head coach and drafting Trevor Lawrence, and then somehow it feels like it’s being undone with the Tebow circus. Seriously, wtf are they doing? We’d be far better off bringing Eifert back.

Love the Browns going "old school" for the schedule release in their 75th Anniversary this year.
Tough run of games this season tbh, & not sure I've ever seen back-2-back divisional games before and after a bye? Will be two crucial games against the Ravens....

How Did Tyler Eifert perform for you last year ? Or did he continue to impersonate Paul Kitsons career here ?

He wasn’t great, but he certainly wasn’t awful, can’t have been easy being thrown passes by Mike Glennon, Jake Luton and an injured Gardner Minshew.

Keep him fit and he s a great red zone threat
But his fitness levels are comparable to Will Buckley

He was actually healthy for the entire season I believe!
