As i am going to NYC later in the year i have picked the Jets as my team. There is a Scottish based one, Stramash too which I'd assume is marmite, but might be to your tastes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just daft. I mean, why is an Onside Kick not a problem in the 4th Quarter, but somehow a concern at any other time? I can't think of any other situation where the league mandates you can't call certain plays dependant on the game clock. Ok, you can only Free/Drop Kick in certain situations and so on, but that's mandated by the rule book, not the game situation. Wouldn't put it past these idiots to ban running the ball in the 2nd half or something, because they seem utterly hell-bent on turning NFL football into a non-contact, 100% passing league with basketball scores.

Boo Khaki Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Rapoport appears to be suggesting the 9'ers and Steelers have a deal agreed in principle for the trade of Aiyuk, which they will enact if SF and Aiyuk can't agree a new contract in short-order - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is, a full year of Darnold will probably be enough to give them their pick of the QB's coming out next year instead of having to take the leftovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Watching the commanders and can't help but think about how pointless it seems. The following are not playing tonight And Jeff Driskel is at Qb, I'd argued he won't play a single snap at QB in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Vikings 2024 1st round draft pick QB J.J. McCarthy out for the season due to requiring surgery on a torn meniscus & in process becomes the first ever 1st round QB to miss their rookie season. McCarthy was planned to backup Sam Darnold so the backup spot will most likely go to Nick Mullens with Jaren Hall & Matt Corral also on the roster.

I can't help but like Josh Dobbs. I wouldn't have minded if the Titans kept him as a backup QB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i am going to NYC later in the year i have picked the Jets as my team. I’ve been watching NFL & College football when bored for about 3 seasons now due to getting all the US channels on IPTV. I’m absolutely a fair weather fan, i have an understanding of some rules but only have enough knowledge to chat to someone on it for about 60 seconds so I am looking to learn more on it. I’ve downloaded a podcast to listen to this week at work ‘NFL DAILY WITH GREGG ROSENTHAL’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Best way to advance your understanding of NFL football is just to watch games. There are loads of complete games on Youtube, usually condensed down to just the pre-snap and actual play, so you can get through them in about 1.5-2hrs. Obviously they aren't necessarily going to be bang up to date rules-wise, but for the purpose of furthering your understanding of the "why's" of NFL and grasping a bit more of the nuanced stuff, there is absolutely nothing as good as just sitting watching games. It's why I hate Redzone and consider it NFL for people who don't like American Football. Most of the interesting stuff takes place on routine plays between the 30 yard lines and you miss it if you only ever see the plays in the RZ.

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Redzone is great but possibly not ideal for beginners, as you say. There is a Thursday night (Friday morning UK time) opener to watch live/record and watch later before the first Redzone Sunday, anyway, so start with that.
