Smuts' NFL Thread

[Pliskin]

Really poor half from Seattle… Walker is a huge miss……just not able to punch through…..

[StanSP]

That Garrett Wilson TD earlier was insane

[Pliskin]

Darnold playing like Stevie wonder tonight. 

[Izzy]

Raiders baby!

 

3-0 bloody hell

[PhillippaT]

Looks like there's so many empty seats at Spurs stadium for this game.

Novelty wore off?

I'd imagine its that, but also due to price, as NFL keeps increasing the tickets, and due to people having their own teams to support and just aren't interested in teams like the Colts and Commanders.

 

I went to a couple of the early games as a neutral, then the 2 49ers games, but probably won't go back until the Niners are back.

 

Although if we get our own team, I think you'd see season tickets snapped up, and very few spare seats.

I think some of the attraction of going to see a gridiron football game is that culturally it feels very different from association football games, especially the college games. As much as I would enjoy going to the iron bowl or USC vs UCLA one time, the thought of paying through the nose to watch a very slow sport in an atmosphere-less stadium in a shit part of London on a grey October day doesn't fill me with excitement.

I'd say price more so. NFL have taken the piss recently. 

[Officer Doofy]

Injuries this season are ****ing ridiculous and that's saying something 

[spacemunky]

Horrible pass from Allen there with the game on the line.

Looks like the Chiefs are back.

Proud of the Raiders for taking them right to the wire. Another game of fine margins.

Colts fan here! 😂

 

I've to London a few times over the last few years. I think cost is the biggest factor in the pricing and also cost of living.

The whole event is now scaled back and is just down to drinking in pubs. In the first few years they'd takeover regent Street with fan park and events and there not around anymore.

I read that due to poor slaes they were slashing prices but still couldn't sell out.  I'm sure if they made the prices more reasonable from the off they'd sell them, but not sure thats why they want games in London.

 

redzone was great yesterday.

I stayed up far to late last night and watched the late window. 

 

Feel like Henson doesn't talk as much this year but might be imagining it

Shiny loud Americana doesn't really sell as well over here anymore

Pure Pennsylvania Eastern European physiognomy. The epitome of the old NFL.
