Two NFL London games back this year.

As per, not mocking Harper, she will get us going:





And one for Kevin from last years Super Bowl:



And 2.15 to Salem's comment:

On a side note .........some great hardware doing the fly over tonight

And on another plane side note, historical, 1991, just after Gulf War 1 started, Whitneys magnificence had F-16s flypast:



One other side note for very eagle eyed spotters, at 1.35, the old flag of Georgia with the state seal of Georgia and Confederate flag next to the flag of Hawaii with the Union Jack in the canton. A nice juxtoposition and yes did notice that myself just now as on plane watch.

Cheers, Carlos.

GO BRONCOS!

[Salem]

Yay indeed , Subs .

Looking forward to having the crowds back this year , they were a big miss last season .

I'll still be cheering on (grudgingly) the Silver & Black although I feel dirty about it...........Las Vegas for fucks sake . Although my soft spot for my NFC team has got a little bit bigger since they abandoned Oakland , I may be in a bit of a quandary re:loyalties come November 7th .

I'll be having a cheeky £5 on an outsider this year as per and despite being in the same division as the Chiefs , I think the Chargers might surprise a few .

Good luck to all NtFL'ers in the coming season unless either the Boston or San Fran are your teams ............ in your case you can get tae fuck .

Cheers Carlos

Good luck, Salem
I don't really have an NFC team, but I would love the Vikings to win one one day.
I like the Packers, too - proper authentic NFL team - but I don't support them.

Cheers Subs , right back atchya. Although being in the same division , I should hope the Orange Crush will crash and burn , yet no .

Franchising sucks. Oakland to L.A sucked , L.A back to Oakland somehow felt right but Las Vegas ............not for me Beeky . But , Raiders is Raiders so what'm I gonna do ? .

Loving the Big Blue of the NFC , more since they fucked up Bostons perfect season in 2007 .

It's almost like growing up following Wolverhampton Wanderes and falling in love with Glasgow Rangers. I guess shit really does happen.........who'd have thunk it .

I'll finish by saying good luck Subs , not so much Denver

[Carlos J]

Think I fixed the editing, Salem. If I had to have an AFC team, would be the Steelers, just as solid blue collar team. Maybe also the Jets who are just shit and the poor ginger step brother of the Giants, hence wanting to see them this year.

But hey, look at this. Only pre-season:



Remember, if interested, general sale ticket for the two London games go on sale on Tuesday at 10am on Ticketmaster.

Yep, agreed re franchises. All a bit weird.
I know a few Raiders fans, as they were one of the go-to teams when American footy was first shown in the UK.
When I was at school, everyone supported one of: Dolphins/Cowboys/49ers/Raiders/Redskins/Bears, but it was watching Elway in his pomp that convinced me to follow the Broncos. Being stuffed in 3 Super Bowls in 4 years was hard to take, but the first one against the Packers was sweet as

NFL regular season has been extended by a game to 17 games.

It's gonna be carnage.

Imagine we're going to see a fair few records broken in the next few seasons. Notably Dickerson's 2105 rushing yards in a single season.

Good argument for an entire new record set being established with the addition of this extra game. For context OJ Simpson ran for 2,003 yards in a 14 game season for an average of 143.1 yards per game. No player has came within 10 yards of that YPG total since. Extrapolating it out he'd have ran for 2432 yards in a 17 game season.

Not particularly looking for to the season. My Eagles are shit. One of the 5 worst teams in the league. At this stage all i can hope for is a top 3 draft pick in April.

The London games look especially rank this year. Like export the Premier League to American and playing Brighton v Watford and Southampton v Brentford at the Rose Bowl.

Meh

Bag o' shite. And more importantly, how it effects our game. Just a one week off seems to be the obvious thing.

And remember if you want to see NFL this year, 10am tomorrow, general tickets. And yes, I want to see the shit Jets because they are the Jets and finally get to a game.

[Carlos J]

Get to see the mighy New York Jets like I want to. 10am tomorrow.

Did you get your tickets?

Looks like it's sold out and the cheapest ticket was 94 quid exclusive of fees and delivery?

Yeah for the Jets @ Falcons. Wanted that one to see the Jets and in that London on Monday 11 October anyway so makes sense.

Cheapest for both was £60 + fees = £67, that's what I paid. Over an hour in the queue but still plenty availabe when got on.

Will finally get to a game, hopefully.

Will you actually turn up this time

60 + fees isn't bad. We paid that for nose bleed at Wemberleeee last time round.
