    Dallas - GB

    Still quite a few Cowboys fans over here in the UK from the older generation as they were good when TV first started showing highlights of games. I hated the Giants more though as Parcells used to get right on my nerves I'd say that the Patriots are the ultimate bandwagon team over here now...

    Falcons 2016 regular season "dominance" a fraud

    I think that's very true. All the trash talk before the game "we're going to do this, that, put 50 points on you" repeat ad infinitum is just that - trash My picks before the games were Patriots, Steelers, Falcons and Packers but two of those games could have gone the other way

    Congrats on a great Season (Falcons fan)

    I thought Atlanta were well deserving winners. Played as well as I expected with the ball but really stepped up without it too We couldn't get any meaningful pressure on Ryan and that was only going to end badly. Wilson seemed to be under pressure on almost every snap, from his own linemen...

    Sherman backing Newton..

    He's not done enough to be hated. When he's achieved something maybe then people can hate him

    Caption this bad-boy

    Tom - "We would have won if only I'd have got my hands on your balls before game" Peyton - "Maybe later Tom"

    Cardinals vs Panthers.

    Just watched the last quarter now. That bloke falling out of the crowd after the Kuechly pick was comedy gold What an idiot!

    London Franchise

    Oh I don't think for even one second that they'd play in an RL stadium but Old Trafford would be big enough in terms of capacity. The issue they usually have with soccer grounds is that the pitches aren't long enough though I've watched many, many RL matches in Old Trafford and the pitch is...

    London Franchise

    BBC website is running a story that claims there will be a UK franchise in the next 6 years To quote the BBC - The UK will have its own American football franchise within six years, according to NFL spokesman Mark Waller. Interesting that it doesn't say London. I wonder if there is potential...

    Most hated teams

    No one. I wasn't keen on the Cowboys when I was young as they seemed to be incredibly arrogant. However they've not won a Lombardi for so long I almost feel sorry for them now I respect New England, Brady and Belichick despite the cheating stuff. To keep building a competitive & winning team...

    Pretty incredible Tom Brady stat

    He's definitely one of the greats but not quite the greatest. He has a pretty average QB rating in Super Bowls and rarely dominates a game like Montana did. Even last year he didn't quite do enough but fluked a win because of our stupidity Unfortunately he'll be remembered as much for the...

    Going for 2 with the game on the line.

    I did that on Madden at the weekend on a challenge I'd be trying to win for ages. Was 10-0 down almost immediately and ended up winning 11-10 with a last second 8 point TD Euphoric

    So, who are you rooting for now?

    Broncos for me. Along with Seattle they introduced me to football in the 80s Also I'd like to see Manning win another ring to partly silence the internet crusaders and their choker comments Not that it would bother me too much but the team I'd like to see win the least is the Patriots. Only...

    You Decide: Who To Root For On My Summer Vacation

    Bengals - despite them making the play offs no one is jumping on that bandwagon at the moment Strong links with the Niners too and the fact that you beat them in 2 Super Bowls means that they'll always be second to your first team

    Who are you rooting for this weekend...

    Yep to this - it's annoying the heck out of me too. The bit where Jim White meets Tom Brady is cringeworthy

    London Franchise

    There is no way a London team will succeed in my opinion. Sure people like the "event" element of the Wembley games but there isn't enough there to support an actual team. Looking at UK TV figures it's clear that there is a market here but it's a small one Top 5 Games - UK TV 1. Week 7 -...
