    A reasonably comfortable win for the Pats. They didn't look sharp, but the Steelers made too many mistakes.

    Could have done without the rain - plays havoc with the tailgating

    Fell asleep before the match started, I see Brady threw four touchdown passes - was he the difference ?

    They have absolutely no running offence, so throwing is all they were ever going to get!

    Surprise defeats for Seahawks and Colts, Mariota looking good for Titans, Winston looking baaaaad. Bills will be tough this year, Raiders and Jags will be bringing up the rear

    Wonder if this would be the first time that two quarterbacks who were 1st and 2nd picks in the draft have played eachother opening day?

    Are Tampa wishing they could choose the other way now !!!

    Ahh you can't judge a rookie QB on 1 game though. I'm sure that he'll settle down. If he was that bad he wouldn't have been drafted!

    Can't believe we lost to the Cowgirls by a point :neutral:
    If this season is as disappointing as the last couple I'm not gonna be a happy bunny.

    True, apparently Favre also threw a pick 6 with his first NFL snap, but from what I saw on redzone his throwing was very obvious, almost as if he's decided pre snap to throw to the left, ball snaps, triple coverage on the left, and he still throws there. Mark of a good quarterback is seeing what the defence are doing and reacting to it, Rodger's biggest asset IMO. Hopefully for the lad it was just nerves, but up against another first pick rookie and seeing how well he played will always draw comparison

    Old school Raiders fan from the C4 days... Jim Plunkett as QB... a man so ugly he only needed a one bar face-guard....

    I'm following the Chargers and the Cowboys at the moment. I know that would sound like an idiotic thing to say if I was an American talking about the Premier League.

    I know I will gravitate towards one of those two over time hopefully by getting out there and seeing a game in California or Texas. Although I hear the Chargers may well be on the move to LA.

    Very happy with week 1 from the boys from Cincinnati, I feel there maybe some sterner tests out there over the next few games but feeling optimistic about this season

    The LA move has been on the horizon for a while for us.

    Not exactly a massive upheaval - only 2 hours drive up the California coast - and the team enjoy massive support in Orange County (which is why I follow them) so I dare say some fans will see their journey cut.

    Whilst not a football hotbed like Texas, LA really does need an NFL team.

    How do you think the landscape in LA has changed that the city would carry an NFL team? After all this would be the LA's 3rd attempt at a franchise. Just curious to know as it seems to have been on the cards for a long time but nothing has moved in that direction for the last 10 years or so.

    Have read talks of both Chargers and Rams moving in one fail swoop and sharing a brand new stadium so LA will have two franchises.

    Was at the Qualcomm yesterday to see chargers beat the lions. I'm hooked, what a sport to see live, a real spectacle. Thought be far too American for me but what an atmosphere.

    I personally think it needs a team, more for the profile of NFL as much as anything. LA is a humongous hot bed of culture, they have at least 2 franchises in the other major sports, Lakers and Clippers, Dodgers and Angels, Kings and Ducks.

    Blackpool and Dolphin fan - I reckon I did something wrong in a previous life. Got tickets for all 3 Wembley games.

    Why has LA been unable to support a franchise thus far ?
  • Bigbadbozman
    Bigbadbozman Posts: 1,775
    One thing I have always wondered about is support for a franchise modelled league, from a fans perspective. For example if the Bengals moved their franchise to LA how would they generate fans in that area surely they already support an NFL team anyway maybe Raiders or Rams (previous LA franchises) do the fans suddenly switch allegiances? Would the people of Cincinnati continue to support the LA Bengals, would they support the other team from Ohio or support a local college instead?
    A perspective from stateside would be much appreciated on this one, thanks.

    LA is the second largest TV market, however neither the Rams or the Raiders were well supported by fan attendance, this was due to a number of factors ( in Raiders case, gang culture playing a part) but mainly LA always preferred college football. On top of this LA didn't want to pay for new stadiums.

    I don't want to see San Diego in LA, but likewise I don't want to see the Raiders playing in a lousy stadium in Oakland whilst SD and the Rams capitalize on the potential huge fan base in SoCal.
