NFL 2015-2016

I don't think a lot of people really know what constitutes a catch and what doesn't these days tbf..

You, every NFL referee, and John Harbaugh.

Me too! But that's pretty technical stuff I find, and if I were just starting out watching the sport like @Paz I wouldn't worry about that and just get enough of the basic rules down to enjoy the sport and pick up the other stuff as it happens

Yea exactly. Once you understand the basics you're fine and you pick the rest up as you go.

@Paz in my experience you'll get into the sport much better if you have a team to follow. Just don't pick the fecking Pats, there's too many of then on here already.

What are you referring to?

I was referring to the stars the team captians have under the captain 'C' badge on their uniforms. But i think @RobinLFC has cleared it up.

I think you get a golden star for each consecutive year you get picked as a captain. Once you've been captain for more than four years, the C becomes gold as well (like Rodgers for example).

 

[drdoityourself]

Yes! What a start, what a run by Ginn

 

[JustFootballFan]

Carolina is really dominant. Reminds me a bit of the Warriors last year. After they win the title, we´ll probably say: Yeah kinda makes sense they were by far the best team the whole season.

I don't think they are the best team this year.

Yes, though captaincy doesn't hold as much weight on the field as it does across the pond.

A 'peculiarly English disease' as someone once said, IIRC.

 

[Phil]

I echo Rado's thoughts, please not the Pats @Paz

Don't be a Browns fan either, for your own good.

 

[EdWeatherall]

If Palmer doesnt get going this will be a blowout

 

[Rado_N]

I don't think they are the best team this year.

Who is?

 

[drdoityourself]

Panthers have everything, a fantastic defense, the running game of Stewart. Good receivers and a quarterback who is a threat in every aspect. And one of the best TE's in Olsen.

 

[Eboue]

Who is?

Seattle. Arizona. A healthy New England / Cincinnati / Denver / Pittsburgh.

 

[Rado_N]

Seattle. Arizona. A healthy New England / Cincinnati / Denver / Pittsburgh.

That's a lot of teams.

Carolina have been the most entertaining offensive team this year that's for sure.

 

[Sylar]

I dont see Arizona coming back into this match :/

Good receivers? Who would they be now that Steve Smith is out?

 

[Phil]

Steelers for me.

Also I don't know how you can say Seattle was better than Carolina this year. It took us about 8 games to get going and were beaten by them twice.

 

[drdoityourself]

Ted Ginn, and you saw that Brown can hurt you.

 

[Eboue]

Math.

 

[Charlie Foley]

Yeah, Carolina are rubbish...

I didn't

Edit: oh you mean Eboue

 

[Eboue]

Yeah, no one actually said that...

 

[Sylar]

Game over.

Should be packers here tbh.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

hahahahahhahaa.

I'm not going to even bother to post a long winded reply to your obvious stupidity.

 

[Phil]

Yeah, no one actually said that...

Well you did for a start...

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Ted Ginn, and you saw that Brown can hurt you.

Ginn is just a speed merchant, in...uhh...'football' terms. Was never a complete talent at WR.

Denver's D could hang with Carolina. It's just a question of old noodle arm...

 

[Eboue]

Well you did for a start...

I didn't say they were rubbish. Was responding to dmh91.

[adexkola]

It's too early to start choking Palmer. Get your shit together

 

[adexkola]

Math.

What math?

 

[drdoityourself]

Fantastic

 

[Phil]

I didn't say they were rubbish. Was responding to dmh91.

Ah. Apologies. FWIW I don't really buy into maths being relevant when they win constantly.

 

[RobinLFC]

Choke display from Palmer so far.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Lol
broncos will still lose

 

[Sylar]

ffs Arizona, doing even worse than I thought.

Still annoyed they won the coin toss last week, bleh.

 

[EdWeatherall]

Denver's D could hang with Carolina. It's just a question of old noodle arm..

But Cam can avoid pressure better

 

[Rado_N]

He's the greatest cry baby of all time to be fair

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

 

[Organic Potatoes]

But Cam can avoid pressure better

Might not matter if he doesn't have a Mr Clutch like SS Jr to bail him out.

 

[Eboue]

What math?

They are 2nd on F-R's SRS, 3rd by Sagarin, and 4th by Football Outsiders DVOA. It's not outlandish to think they aren't the best team.

 

[RobinLFC]

ffs Peterson

 

[Laphroaig]

You know you're watching American sports when a guy in the crowd is holding a sign saying John 3:16.
