First of all the field is 100 yards long and "midfield" is at the 50 yard line, so the field is basically like endzone-10-20-30-40-50-40-30-20-10-endzone If one team has 90 yards to go until the other endzone, then they are on their own 10 yard line, and if they are on the other 10 yard line then it is just called the other team's 10 yard line, not the 90 yard line The game starts with one team kicking the ball off from their side of the field to a dude on the other team who catches it and tries to run it back as far as he can. Where he gets tackled is where his team's offense starts from. It is possible to score a touchdown on the kickoff return. When the offense starts it is always "first and ten" unless there is some penalty that puts them back a little but don't worry about that. So it is first down and they need ten yards for another first down. If they get five yards, it becomes "second and five." Then say they gain 20 yards, it becomes first and ten again. If it becomes fourth down and they are not in range for a field goal, they usually punt, and again a dude on the other team catches it and tries to run it back. Then the other team goes on offense.

Football is incredible and you should watch it FA. Also, you should support the Colts.

Roger Goodell has been the primary backer of NFL Football going to Europe which is why they started playing games in London a couple years ago and why they will play 2 games there next year. Its going to happen eventually though it might be 10+ years away, or it might be sooner if a team like St Louis or Jacksonville gets moved. Supposedly they are also in talks to play a regular season game somewhere in Germany in 2011/2.
Also, the biggest issue with NFL Football is that its measured in yards. 3 feet to a yard! Screw your meters/metric system measurements! |

Is it just me, or does today's football matchups seem rather lousy?
Steelers/Vikes is the only game that pops out as the marquee game today. |

I feel bad for the Brits that the game in London every year ends up sucking and is in no way indicative of how good NFL football can be. It's a shame that the NFL season is so hard to predict that you don't know who's going to be good at that point...Pats/Bucs would've seemed like a halfway decent game in the offseason, but the Patriots seemed to be extremely average up until last week and the Bucs will be lucky to win more than 3 or 4 games this year. The NFL's only hope is that Tom Brady goes off for another 5 or 6 TD passes or something to get the crowd interested in the offense.
Edit: In terms of the other games this week, Niners/Texans should be a decent game featuring Mike Crabtree's debut, Bears/Bengals is a game between teams that seem to be the second best team in their divisions, and Falcons/Cowboys shouldn't be bad, either. I also think Saints/Dolphins could be a potential upset if New Orleans isn't ready to deal with the wildcat. Last edited by RatedGSuperstar; 10-25-2009 at 11:37 AM. |

I just can't see a team properly locating to Europe unless they fucked with the schedules big time.
NFL is still discussing whether or not to expand the season to 17 or 18 games. If they opt to go with 17, I say everybody should play one neutral site game...not all in the same week, spread out throughout the year. You can get some European games, a game in Mexico, a game or two in Canada, and even let some American states like Alabama have a game. Hell, even if they upped it to 18 they could potentially have every team play TWO neutral site games...one within the country and another outside. Could net the NFL some big bucks from cities bidding for a game, plus it doesn't cheat any teams out of a home game. |

Feeling pretty good about the Giants tonight. I'm thinking the defense will be fired up after last week, the Cards typically don't do well on the East coast, Warner usually doesn't play that well against the Giants, etc.
A bit pissed I'm gonna miss most of the game doing something at school, so hopefully it wins up a Giants rout or something. |

Brady got picked in the Red Zone which is apparently a rare occurence.
there are so many dud early games its not funny. The only good game is Steelers/Vikings. |

Patriots have scored 80 straight unanswered points, first team since the 85 Bears to do that.
The field must be really slick, players are slipping all over the place on both teams. |

I do enjoy playoff hockey. I live around Albany, NY so we get the NY teams and some NJ games around here. I always watch the playoffs, it's definitely exciting to watch.

Playoff hockey is amazing, you have to watch regular season hockey more though. Pick a team to root for and go with it, believe me if they make the playoffs, you wish with every fiber of your being that tehy win every game.

They are doing decent this year.
6-3-0 They have a young superstar in Zach Parise. Travis Zajac is rather good, Brodeur is solid as he always is, bad thing is in a few years when he is out they have no visible signs of a replacement. Also, they have a rather poor defense and for a team that for years has been centered around defense this is far from good. |
