NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Basically a place to come to talk American Football , let us know who you follow both in the NFL and college game.

I've always followed Notre Dame and the Florida Gators in the college game , in the NFL it's the Chicago Bears.

As we normally have a NFL season thread there's not much point in running this seperately, so title edited

As usual though gotta say...

Bears for the Superbowl!!!!

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Looking forward to the main season of NFL, hopefully the Broncos can do better this season and make it to the Superbowl. Don't really follow College football, keep forgetting ESPN show it and by the time I remember games are over. Does the college season run same time as NFL season?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I will second that.:D:D

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

First games start on Thursday 30th August 2012 :)

A bonus for me this season is ESPNA are showing the Navy v Notre Dame game in Dublin Live.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I did not know that thanks.:D

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Thanks for that, must try and watch a few college games this year. From what I've heard though, there isn't a deal in place for a British provider to carry NFL this year?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I'm sure you will enjoy them , it's also nice to see some of the future NFL stars. I'm sure Sky Sports will get it however my preference would be ESPN.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

There will be , we go through the same thing every two or three years, then a week or so before the start of the season a TV deal is announced.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Washington, I'm sure we've finished rebuilding do this year is all ours :D :dozey:

Alabama, yeah roll tide.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

@MarkC1984

How do you think Peyton Manning will go at QB for Denver ?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I'm hoping he will help get Broncos further this season, and am looking forward to his debut tonight in the pre season game against the Bears.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Pleased that the Broncos beat the Bears 31-3, hopefully this bodes well for the season.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Never read to much into pre season:D

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Try and record ESPNU All-Access Ohio State Training Day 4 Monday 20th August 04.30 on ESPN America gives you a taster for college football.

Im quietly confident this year with the Bears offense , Brandon Marshall in , Michael Bush in and Alshon Jeffery should give Cutler some options.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Thanks muppet, will put that on to record this afternoon.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Anyone here going to the Wembley game?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

OH yes this will be my forth IS game my son has been to them all. Its a special game for him this year he is a Rams fan.:D Are you going ?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Yes sure am, this will be my third trip over.
Went to see the Pats v Bucs then the Bears V Bucs previously.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Am I seeing a pattern there, are you Bucs fan per chance?:D

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Nope just been unlucky! ;)
I'm a Pats fan, ever since 2002 when I was in Canada (back when the Rams were good) and I choose to support the Pats to wind up the people I was with who were Bills fans. Was a pretty good decision.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

The question is can the Pats cover the spread to make the post-season?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Pretty shrewd move to support the Pats.;)
I have been a Bears fan since the early eighties when I first saw Walter Payton play, I have stuck with them ever since.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Finally managed to watch a Bears game yesterday (a recording of Thursday nights Bear at the Packers) and gawd all mighty were they playing crap :( Their defence is average but their attack under Cutler is currently very lack-lustre. Is it the new Offensive coordinator or the team itself?

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Its the O line, it was very suspect last year, the only difference is Carimi there first pick from the 2011 draft is the line up, as he was injured most of last season. I do blame the coaching staff they knew there was a problem and have done little to change the personnel.:(

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Looking forward to Broncos on SKY tonight, have set it to record. Could I please ask that no-one posts a score on here until at least tomorrow night, so I can watch it during the day tomorrow? Thanks.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Or you could just avoid this thread until after you’ve watched the game.

The NFL officials' lockout is over as they sign a new 8 year deal.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Thank goodness for that. That games were getting messy,brawls on the pitch, wrong calls and games taking 4 hours to complete.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

This further reaffirms that the Americans are bunch of whiny complainers. We deal with this incompetence every, single, week every reason in (proper) Football and deal with it. PFFFFFFFT.

Did anyone catch the "Sarcastaball" episode of South Park this week? :D

I could do that.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Before or after you wake up? ;) :p:

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Either way. Run, avoid the people, easy. :cool:

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Wembley next weekend not sure how good the game will be as both teams are struggling a bit. I shall be supporting the Rams as my son is a big supporter of them. Enjoy the game to those who will be attending.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I hope Sky don't do what they did last year, and block access to RedZone until after the Wembley game finishes. :rolleyes:

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Sigh! They are. :(

There were 84,004 at the I S game which is a record. After the first quarter it was the most one sided game I have seen at Wembley. Shame really as the crowd started to loose interest in the second half. Believe me it was definitely not a home for the Rams , 50% of the crowd were the glory boys supporting the Pats the rest were mainly neutral with a few Rams fans my son being one of the few.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Can't believe the Broncos got into the playoffs. I didn't give them a chance, and when they lost 3 games I thought that's it. But no, they won their remaining games and got through. If they get to the Superbowl, I am staying up to watch it.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Your luckier than me , my team the Bears beat the Lions and were in the playoffs temporarily until the Vikings beat the Packers in the later game. :(

Still at least Notre Dame did well this year , hopefully they can beat the Crimson Tide in the BCS Championship game. :)

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

That's very bad luck. To be honest, as long as Denver get to the Superbowl I don't care if they crash and burn next season.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

According to nfluk.com Jeff Reinebold will be in the Sky Sports studio this weekend for the Wild Card Playoffs. Fantastic news. :)

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Went to bed with Broncos 7-0 up, thought excellent we are on the way. Only to look this morning to find the idiots let the opposition get back into it and lose 38-35 on overtime. Was not very happy this morning. Hope the winner gets their butts whipped in the next round now.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

The Broncos only have one person to blame for the loss. Manning threw an interception. Again.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Tonight's the night

San Francisco 49ers v Baltimore Ravens (Kick-off 11.30pm our time)

BBC coverage starts at 11:00pm, Sky at 10:30pm

I'm supporting the 49'ers this year though I think this one might be a close game

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

I'm not cheering either on. Still sore about Broncos losing. If I had to choose though, I'd go for the Ravens. Be nice in a way for Broncos to lose to the team who won the Superbowl. Although I will be full of what if's until next season.

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

Well, that was an interesting Superbowl. :)

Re: NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13
 

yeah I watched it too, for the first time. just when i thought i was starting to understand the game it finished :erm:
