NFL

[Yetie]

Ok so I got sky sports the other day and have been watching the NFL loads theres tons of it on there. I\'ve got to say it, what a game NFL is I watched about 3 full games over the weekend and some highlights.
The best of which being the Cowboys Vs Bears, that boy Romo can throw a ball.
I\'m guessing alot of US residents like the game I was just wondering if there was any of you who had a point of view on who might do well this season etc???

I have to cheer for either the raiders, rams or packers. Packers are my favorite. I grew up in Wisconsin durring the Vince Lambardi/Bart Starr period. Plus who can say no to Cheese curds and beer? :beer: :drool:

Cheese Curds just sound horrible.

Sounds like something you would scrape off the top of milk. Then shlurp it down, all rubbery and slimy. Urgh!

Go Denver!

Hands down the AFC is the dominant conferance this year. No one is going to best the Patriots and Colts.

The Stealers are also looking good.

My favorite though are my own Denver Broncos. 2-1 so far with a good young quarterback in Jay Cutler.

Would love to see them go 12-4 and make the playoffs, but they\'ll most likely go 10-6.

Great season so far

Well, my team choices are dictated by a desire to route against my father so my teams are Houston and who ever is playing Dallas that week. lol

im sorry but did you say that the broncos are good?! we will see this weekend when the real team who will win it all plays.....my good ol\' boys the indianapolis colts!!!!!!

boom baby! course they did get stokely now but cutler is too inexperienced to take us on. i will say they are doing decent but the colts offense is 3rd in the league and previous superbowl champs.... the colts will win it all this year...

 

[Yetie]

how do the teams get to the super bowl is the two best from each confrence???
:redface: I really do know nothing of how it all works I\'m getting the hang of how the plays and 1st downs etc work but outside of that I\'m lost!

 

[wiccanpony]

I’ll stand by my Chargers.......granted the way they play lately I’ll be holding their “crying towel” too.:|~

Well I gre up in Minnesota so I will always be a die hard Vikings fan even though I may not follow the team all that much and know whos on it anymore.. I still love em!

But now I live in Cincinnati so I support the Bengals, which is hard because we were the worst team in the NFL for the entire 90\'s and now even though we have improved we just dont seem to have what it takes to make it over the top. We tend to loose to teams we should beat easy and win against teams we should loose to.. Monday night we play the Pats and well its going to be one hell of a tough game..

Whooo Dey!

Cheese curds are great. Especially on poutine. Or so I have heard.

Cheese curds are indeed great! You know they are good quality when they squeak when you bite into them.

 

[matty1001]

Yes but...what are they!?

In Alabama it would be pork rinds and beer.

umm.......that\'s almost true. They are un aged chedder cheese that hasn\'t been pressed. Actually quite good. Mild. mmmmmmmmmmm

Cheese curds are freaking great!! Well worth the trip into Wisconsin (which is only 1.5 hrs for me) to get them. You can find them around here, but they are just better up there....


As far as football....

I love the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings have been my team since I was just a wee one.

Who might do well? It\'s a bit early to tell, but the Patriots look almost unstoppable. The Cowboys will be tougher than expected as well. The Colts are the defending champs, and still have all the weapons necessary to win.

Surprise teams....Titans, Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The sport is so well ran (other than a few bumps in the road)...Has great built up to the weekly matchups, great drama in the playoff run, and the most grueling season in sports.

I used to follow the NFL, when terrestrial tv had it on at a reasonable hour in the UK. Haven\'t followed it for almost a decade now I suppose. I supported the Dolphins as they were the first team I saw playing. I can\'t remember who they played in that game, though.

 

[Ebonbuddha]

pork scratchings...Sounds good.

As a wise man once said, \"Pork fat rules.\"
