American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

I love the top comment on the video

"he's at the 50, breaks a couple tackles, the 40, one man holding on but can't bring him down, the 30, sheds a tackle, the 20, and he's run down at the 10 yard line"

 

Explain the standings to me Liam....

NFC East Champions!!

 

The Giants are 1 game back of the Cowboys, yet they play them on the last week of the season and have already beaten them once. So if they were 1 game back of the Cowboys on the last day of the season and beat them again they win the tiebreaker for the division title since it is head to head. There is no way the Giants can get a wild card at the moment.

I hope they crush the Jets this week, really don't think the jets deserve a playoff spot this year.

As for Tebow, I don't think he's that in your face about his religion. If people ask him a question and he wants to answer that he get's his strength through Jesus instead of himself, that's good in my opinion. For once a football player without a huge ego that doesn't praise himself every chance he can.

Here is a good article from an english writer on why he fell in love with American football

NO NO NO NO NO NO. the Eagles-Cowboys game is at 9.30pm UK time on Christmas Eve. I'll be at mass that night at about 10 probably, will miss the whole game

 

How do you think we here feel, especially with noon UK time kick offs?

 

I know I have to get up at 7 am for most games

 

So .. any bears fans here? I don´t understand a * about the sport and how it can be this big eith all those constant breakes but chicago is my favorite city so...

 

I don't think we get any noon kick off times. Well I'm yet to see one. We're 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time, so if a game kicked off noon here it'd be 7am ET right? Surely they wouldn't have that?

 

Nah there are no noon(UK time) kick-offs.

 

Yeah I was 99.9% sure

Just confused as to why BigWilly says he'd have to get up at 7am for a game??

 

Maybe Giants fans start drinking early so they can't remember how poorly their team plays.

 

as good a reason to drink as any

On a football note, our (Eagles) playoff hopes are still alive, but its a tough ask.
This week, we must beat Dallas in Dallas, while the Jets must beat the Gi*nts.
Next week, we must beat the 'Skins, while the Giants must beat Dallas in NY.

 

I'm pretty sure Dallas play the Giants in their last game.

I can see the Eagles winning their last two games but it's in the lap of the gods whether the other results will go their way or not. If the Eagles sneak into the play-offs they could be a dangerous team.

 

Oh Jeeeze completely messed that up, what was I at. Meant to say in the final week, we must beat the Skins and the Giants must beat the Cowboys. I'll edit now

Yeah, Dallas having to beat NYG in NY is what haunts me.

 

NYG are awful, so are their fans!!

We can relax for the next few weeks cause we've already won our division!

 

you do have noon kickoffs or 12:30 kickoffs the last old firm game was at 12:30 which made it 7:30 for us, and if giants fans are drinking early then lets not even talk about rams fans

So selfish you are BigWilly, we give you a 7.45/2.45 Old Firm game at Christmas and all you do is complain. Ungrateful *
