    I agree. Can't believe it was just down to two players kicking arses.

    Saturday was less about formations and more about our pressing higher up the pitch and playing at a higher tempo. Add that to the desire and spirit shown and that is where you will find the win coming from. Glad someone kicked their arses at half time, whoever that may have been.

    Most definitely.

    I respect everyone's opinions, but the sport is absolutely fantastic! :cool:

    I like rugby and I like American Football. As for the London NFL team, it may well be a completely new team and not involve stealing someone elses team. I do hope that is the case. I hope it is an expansion team. Fresh start.

    It was an exciting game today. Kind of like being 3 nil down and winning 4-3. I would hope if an NFL team is to come to London that it is an expansion team, as with what the NFL did 20 years ago, when they introduced 4 new teams.

    Who said it was alright? Not going to keep arguing over it. You seem determined to beat people over the head with your view. I have never said it is alright, I have just said that is the way it is. It is an acceptable face of the sport in the US. So many teams have moved and changed names...

    I don't agree with franchising. Have always said that. At the same time though this is a different sport, in a different country with a different mindset, without the same history and heritage we have in the game of football over here. It is different. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying...

    The IS games? Torturing, Surpressing and Beheading? :o

    Indeed. Used to love football so much more, but it has all gone too cynical for me these days. Killing time by the corner flag, time wasting, shirt pulling, feigning injury and us only getting about 4 or 5 exciting games a season. Might be different if I say supported Liverpool I guess.

    Fair enough. Can't understand anyone who likes cricket and rugby union though who doesn't like the NFL. Many, many more breaks in play in cricket and a much, much longer game and also very long breaks in play in rugby union too. Last week though, there were 6 games on in the NFL and 4 of them...

    For me, it is the most exciting sport known to mankind. So many thrilling games that go right down to the wire. Today's Wembley game for instance was won with just 4 seconds left. 10 times more exciting than football for me.

    Yep. In total agreement with that. Look how big the States is, yet there are just 32 NFL teams in the whole country. New team in London and 3 new teams across the US, to make 36 teams.

    Don't think anyone would argue that Conor Thomas is anything other than inconsistent, but that label can be thrown at most of our players.

    What should happen and what would be entirely fine, is for any new NFL team over here to be just that, a new team. Not the Jacksonville Jaguars becoming the London Jaguars, but a new team. Cannot see anything wrong with that. The addition of a team, rather than the displacement of a team and we...

    Agree. I'm just talking historically about the game in the States.

    Agree, but as I said on a thread a few weeks back, you look at the NFL in 1920, then say 1925, then 1930 then every 10 years or so. It changes so much and so many times with teams merging, moving and rebranding constantly. Not saying it's right, just saying it is very much the norm there and...

    He hasn't been. But there again, who has this season? Not many we can say have consistently played well is there.

    Maybe it's just me then Nick. I remember both good passes and bad passes. Maybe you are just a sad, bitter and twisted man.
