mirandashell Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone watching? I'm really annoyed that Sky have it now. Channel 4 spent years building the market in this country and now Sky have priced them out of that market. Just glad that my Bears are playing in the only game in America that I will see live until the SB. Quote
Inver Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 My eldest son and his mates watch it....they take turns at hosting an evening of it...boy does it go on for hours. Don't really get it myself....lol...catch the ball and run is about my understanding of it...lol Quote
Alexi Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I'm an avid fan I'm a Giants fan. I don't want to talk about it I went to see the Raiders this afternoon though, and life really could be much worse. I could be a Raiders fan. Ouch, they were dreadful. Quote
mirandashell Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Your Giants came close, didn't they? I'm not surprised you don't want to mention it! LOL! There was a few close games this weekend. Quote
mirandashell Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 I could be a Raiders fan. Ouch, they were dreadful. I'm a Bears fan. I always console myself with 'oh well, at least I'm not a Jets fan.......' Quote
shades Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Can we resurrect this thread. Playoffs 2017 How about a Steelers vs Packers Super Bowl Quote
Inver Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 My son and mates do a draw for teams in the playoffs...he has the Falcons but his team is really the Patriots...although Gronk is out for rest of season he says....not that I would know anything about it. Quote
shades Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Still saying Steelers vs Packers, Patriots have a soft schedule, and that may be about to expose itself against the Steelers. As an American it is strange to see how little Europeans pay attention. Over here it is like breathing. But I suppose the same can be said for Futbol on the other side of the pond, although I do enjoy the occasion that I catch a good match Quote

Alexi Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Part of it is timing. I'm a big NFL fan, but it requires commitment to watch games at 1am if you have to get up at 7am for work. Futbol is certainly much more popular in the US than NFL here, but a 3pm Saturday game here kicks off at 10am on the east coast - so a little easier. I would like to see the Falcons progress but I suspect that is wishful thinking. Quote
vodkafan Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 The woman at work reckons Patriots V. Packers for the SuperBowl Quote
muggle not Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I am a big Steelers fan, have been for well over 50 years. I hope they beat the "cheating" Patriots and hopefully play the Packers in the Super Bowl. This is the best time of year for watching the NFL. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I've changed the title of this thread, so it's no longer specific to 2015, and can just be a general NFL thread. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I love watching football, but of course I'm cursed with having a sad and disappointing home team. The only hope I have for the Superbowl is that the Pack doesn't win! Quote
