Don't really have a team. I do like to see the Jets and Philly do well. Guess it's the green shirts! Would like to see Detroit do better.

Patent Manning?

Guess that means no-one else can sign him from now on until he retires.

can someone breakdown the draft pick rule?

I like to watch the games but not sure how transfers really work, also there was talk of a London franchise what happened with that?

For some reason I like the Bengals. Don't really know any of their players, i think it's just because they play in tiger stripes.

I know what you mean, i liked the stripes. Not very good though. Rarely make the playoffs. I doubt they will this year either.

Basically the team with the worst record gets 1st pick in the following years draft,all the way to the Super Bowl winners who have the 32nd and last pick in the 1st round.I think there are about 7 rounds.Teams can trade draft picks for players in other teams,or a team can say trade say a 1st round pick for draft picks later in the draft.I think the last player to go in the draft is called Mr Irrelevant or something.
Always been a fan of the Raider Nation,and saw them at the Old Wembley many years ago.Unfortunately they have been as poor as the Sky Blue and for about as long.But they have a fanatical fan base,with fans all over the States,particularly in California.Their team motto is 'Just Win Baby',which is ironic because they rarely seem to,just lately.

New England Patriots for me, last year was my first time watching nfl games i also like miami dolphins after watching documentry of the 70s team that won it 3 years in a row! im still trying get used to the game and draft system its not a easy game to cath onto quick.

Believe me, it's worth it. It's a game that gets better with knowledge, then one day something really clicks and you see what an amazing game it actually is. If i was younger i'd try playing tbh. Although i'd love a team over here to join the NFL, i would kinda struggle to support a team with London in the name. Hope they don't do that.

Hooray!!! Finally!!

Gave enough hints but everyone just kept going on regardless. Even made a joke about no-one now being able to sign him because of the patent but no-one clicked on!!

Having lived in Dallas in the early 90's when the Cowboy's had it going on and then lived in Houston from 2001 until a couple of years ago I became quite a fan! My son played for his highschool and in Texas it's a religion. He would have to be at practice by 5:30am! On a school day. I think I would do that to the sorry ases that attempt playing for us....that might galvanise their endevours!
Reliant Stadium is some place to watch it too! (oh and they usually build them with a roof!)

Houston Texans are getting better, but i'm muched preferred them when they were the Houston Oilers. Dallas had a great side in the 90's.

Don't like the idea of stadium roofs. I love it when winter kicks in and teams like Green Bay and Cincinnati play in a blizzard, usually around thanksgiving.

Should have an NFL comp of some sort.

Speaking of which, everyone should check out "The League", it's a comedy show loosely based around a bunch of guys who have a fantasy league, the premise sounds terrible but it's absolutely hilarious, they get some good player cameos too!

I'm a Seahawks fan (no idea why, you'd think I get enough punishment watching City), been well into it for a good few years now, this could be a pretty good season, entertainment wise, there seems to be a lot of teams really hitting their stride lately, and I'm really interested to see how Luck does at Indy. Only downside is that these new replacement refs are terrible!


Also for anyone just getting into it, http://www.nfl-360.com/ is a great place to learn about the game, it's set up specifically for new fans, it explains the rules and gives suggestions on what teams you might like to watch!

I follow the Brown, but got soft spot for the 49ers as went to a SuperBowl a few years ago and watched them stuff the Broncos in New Orleans.
