  • I struggle to comprehend the human race on a fairly frighteningly regular basis.

    RIP little Peterson.

    Isn't that kinda the equivalent of sending Stoke to play Norwich in America? Hardly big names.

    The Raiders have won 3 Superbowls....
    The last one in 1983. So they're basically Nottingham Forest. Would any Americans be excited to see them play in 2013?

    So called "famous" teams like the Redskins havent won anything since 1981, the Miami Dolphins havent won anything since 1973, the Cowboys since 1995.

    So the point is you should bring only bring teams over that have won a Superbowl or two in the last 5-10 years and preferably are also the Giants/Patriots/Packers?

    How many kids in London do you see wearing Raiders gear? I see them everyday, they might not be fans but the team logo is pretty iconic...

    Unfortunately those teams that get 80,000+ (ie the likes of the Giants/Cowboys etc....) wouldnt be happy to give up a home game for a wembley game, especially when you only get 8 home games a season anyways, excluding playoff/preseason games. It could happen if they came as the away team as the Giants did in 2007....

    ^^^^ a good post with lots of very valid points .. the main beauty of the NFL is its ever changing hierarchy although some clubs in the more remote cities with small populations and with less income from the media will always struggle against the big city, especially East Coast teams, not forgetting SF of course

    As much as I would love to see a Redskins game, i would hate to see them play at Wembley playing a "home" game as it gives up so many advantages that they gain at home.

    Only two unbeaten teams and both in the same division. The chiefs and broncos.

    Cards matched the 49ers but their inability to defend sometimes and give turnovers away came into play,

    Scrappy 4th Q for the Pats today, Brady showing his worse side then his best side, that final drive was immense, what a way to win a football match

    Kansas. Beat raiders to go 6-0 after being 2-14 last year. Steelers win their first game. But looking forward to Peyton retuning to Indianapolis next week.

    Everyone is better than Big Ben too. He's way past it now, plus it doesn't help that he's a knob too.

    Not a chance - seeing as they'll have to get through 2 of the Colts, Chiefs and Broncos if they make the playoffs

    7-0 for the chiefs.

    Jets beat us in OT, but giving up 17 points with no reply in the 3rd doesn't help matters

    Manning's made some rank bad throws in this game. Plus, even as a Broncos fan, I think that's f****ing pathetic from DRC - High stepping it into the end zone from the halfway line. You can tell Elway wasn't impressed by it.

    Cardinals now on 4-4. Doubt they'll win many more though!

    Might also be looking to trade Fitzgerald as well. If he goes you are officially in rebuilding mode.
