Watch it for the rest of the season and pick a team you enjoy watching the most, or a player that catches your eye.

 

Texans have been a great watch this year, until Tank Dell got hurt.

 

Dolphins are a good watch too but best avoiding watching them whenever they play anyone half decent…

Going to let that slide. This time.

Hope you break that streak this weekend though.

It's hard to accuse someone of being a glory hunter when the entire league set-up is based on parity.

That's why wage caps and draft picks exist.

 

It's supposed to be incredibly hard to be good every year and it takes a special mix of coaches and star players for that to happen in any given franchise.

 

It's what makes every year a new adventure.

Ok, when I was a lad, I got a Washington top as a gift from a relative who had been in the States. This was in the 80's and they were good, winning superbowls. I lost interest in American football for a number of years but have recently got interested again. However, I can't buy in to the "Commanders" thing and the fact they are pish - I just don't feel in any more.  I feel like I should get a new team to support but not sure who. Always quite liked Miami, but dunno if they are a wee bit too green for me. Quite like the vikings, but too cold to go to minnesota (I have no plans but thinking many years ahead lol). Really like mahomes but can't be arsed with the whole taylor swift bandwagon. So kb'ers, who should I support and why? (Or is it wrong to change teams and stick with the Commenders?).

 

I started watching couple of seasons ago and literally took to Joe Burrow immediately. Then watched his Heisman season at LSU with Ja'marr Chase and my mind was easily made up.

 

Was weird as well because I had no idea they were in the most part pretty pish over the years and hadn't been to a SB since my birthyear, and then the first season I watch NFL fully they got to it again.

Funnily enough, when i was given a Washington top, my brother was given a steelers one. Can't support them for that reason 🤣 consensus seems to be to stick with the "Commanders" 🙄

Aqua, which is more blue-ish than green to me...that's what I tell myself anyway

 

They're a fun watch at the moment, but can't be labelled a glory hunter for supporting them seeing as their last Super Bowl win was in the 70's!

You deserve the celebrations. It's not every team that can stumble across the line against a 2nd string QB.

Dolphins doing well to come back to lead at halftime. Might need a change of underwear before the end of this though. 😬

Sanders with 3 FG from 52, 54 and 57 yards so far tonight. Reliable when needed but some dafties think he should be replaced.

Just knew Tua was getting sacked there.

 

Defence is going to have to stay strong. 😬

Stupid stupid penalties.

Oh ffs. Another stupid pen.  😡🤬😡

That is some 5 minutes for Kansas there. 

[151]

49ers

 

Can't believe that, awful performance and Purdy should have been sat well before he came off hurt.

 

Ravens have some Defense. Cannot stand them though everything about them is horrible

[Cade]

Cannae throw 5 interceptions and expect to win.....!

I thought the 49ers would be strong favourites for the Superbowl but there was always a nagging doubt about Purdy as he’s not a top level Quarterback.

Can't stand the Ravens either, them and the Cowboys are the 2 teams I most dislike

 

Ravens will probably get the #1 seed in the AFC....unless my Dolphins can pull off the upset next week. 

[hmfc_liam06]

I’m not sure I understand the hatred for the Ravens.

 

We’re hardly taking Patriots, Packers or Cowboys.

Not been watching the NFL long enough to 'hate' any teams but their uniform and logo are horrible and just the thought of Ravens/Crows - they are like vermin.

 

Plus I like the Bengals, so naturally don't really want the Ravens to do well

[Cade]

Origin of the Ravens was strange, to say the least.

Cleveland Browns owner wanted them to move to Baltimore because the stadium was crumbling and he didn't want to pay for a new one.

City of Cleveland and season ticket holders sued.

NFL steppe din and took over the franchise.

All the current players of the Browns moved to Baltimore and became a new franchise, the Ravens.

Cleveland was allowed to keep the Browns history, name and franchise but only if they built a new stadium.

Stadium was built over a few years.

NFL then "unfroze" the "shut down" Cleveland Browns franchise, which (of course) had no players.

So a special draft was produced.

Every team had to make 5 players available to the Browns, who were allowed to pick a maximum of 42, and no more than two from any one franchise.

 

So if anyone has a reason to hate the Ravens, it's the Browns.

Actually, **** it, this is not an even faintly green jersey at all, it's Aqua blue....and one of the best uniforms in the NFL 😁

 

Plenty of Miami fans want them to make this throwback uniform the permanent one again. I'm not that bothered tbh, quite like the newer Dolphins logo too.

[hmfc_liam06]

Lions cheated last night. An absolute disgrace.

 

Must protect “America’s Team” at all cost.

[151]

The teams I dislike are racking up now. 

 

I've seen alot about the Cowboys on social media over the last few seasons and now I hope they get smashed at every attempt

 

Genuinely hard to even pick one team in the NFC to 'like' - think the 49ers probably edge it although I do like Stafford.

I've always had a soft spot for the Lions. It goes all the way back to the 80's when I first watched the NFL and Barry Sanders was so much fun to watch. The Lions being totally hopeless for decades probably helps as well, easy to have a soft spot for an underdog team.

Yeah I hear you on that. Seen the little pop up stat on their game last week that showed the HC was part of the side that won 0 games in the season aswell so that's really great to see him rallying the franchise and I hope they do well. 

[ri Alban]

Looking forward to Washington's new coaching staff and name. Just need to get the last games done with first.

 

 

 

[hmfc_liam06]

Nearly 12 hours since and I’ve still not calmed down about that call.

 

Rigged.

[Sooperstar]

Mostert out for Dolphins tonight and looks like Waddle will be missing too. Got to be the Tyreek Hill and Devon Achane show if there is to be any chance of victory. 

[151]

The Bills

 

I put redzone on thinking it would be the Ravens Dolphins as that must be on Sky so not on dazn, and it was showing all the kickoffs. I thought to myself there hasn't been a kickoff return in a while  roll next kickoff... TD Patriots.

Depends on what you believe. Did the guy report in or didn't he? If he didn't make himself eligible, then it's on him. If he did, then refs were at it.

Personally, thought the last play, after Cowboy penalty, was shit pass and if he had got that right, Lions had game won.

[neilnunb]

Arse collapse from the Dolphins.

 

Wasn't expecting anything today anyway. 😭
