Tell me about it, imagine having a shit season last year because of injuries, including your star receiver going down with a lacerated kidney. Then first game this season, dominating one of your rivals, only to have the same star receiver go down with a torn ACL and lose after being up by three touchdowns. Long season ahead...again!

Just started getting into this again. It'll be cardinals for me. although they started poorly

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Cracking first week of matches I thought. Some close games and some upsets which is what you want. My Bengals just got up too.

Fuchs takes on kicking challenge and chats to Osi Umenyiora

Vikings have officially adopted the Iceland (or Motherwell) chant. Vikings/Iceland, see what they did there??

 

Interesting to see if an American crowd have the patience for that one.

If it works, it'll be awesome to see

Huge divisional win today for the Ravens over the Browns after being 3TDs down before the end of the first quarter.

As if I'm having to rely on the Bears D to outscore Jordan Matthews tonight to beat @Jonezy

Just to add to this...Another week another ACL.

The Bears as embarrassing as ever yesterday,

How much do I love Julio tonight.

Few photos from the Ravens/Raiders game I was at on Sunday. Gutted to lose the way we did after fighting back to take the lead late on, but it was an incredible experience.

 Got to hand it to the Americans... they know how to build stadiums!

Not sure they know what a roof is though. Thank fvck I didn't have to sit there in the rain for 3 hours.

[General Smuts]

Only the Bears could be 16-0 up in the 4th quarter and lose 17-16.

 

Urgh.

[UPinCarolina]

Interesting to compare the Carolina Panthers and LCFC.

 

Panthers neglected to pay (and so lost to another team) one of their top defensive players, betting that younger, cheaper talent could pick up the slack. They've been exposed, as teams have been able to pass deep on the Panthers with relative impunity.

LCFC loses a key defensive player that forced teams to slow their pace and allowed a stabilization of the defense. Younger, cheaper talent was asked to carry the load, and LCFC have been exposed.

Panthers go from mediocre team to challengers for the NFL title. 

 

LCFC go from barely escaping relegation to winning the Premier League title.

 

Both teams experiencing a massive hangover.

Found myself watching the NFL more than spherical football so far this season, becoming a big fan. Struggling to nail down a team to follow though, the teams I initially liked a few years ago dont hold my interest after watching a lot more games this past year or so. I'm loving the 49'ers purely for Kaepernick & I've enjoyed watching the Redskins/Giants a lot too. 

[MPH]

Only the panthers could score 38 points away from home and still lose.....

[bovril]

AFC going to usual form. New England class of the field, Denver and Pittsburgh close but not close enough.

NFC is much more intriguing. Seahawks look a good bet to be in the Championship game at the moment. It'll be interesting to see how far Minnesota's defence can take them and Dallas playing great football but in a very competitive division.

Looking like we could get a rematch of Superbowl 49.

[ajthefox]

Ravens up 3-0 after 3 games and now 3-3 after 3 very winnable games lost. Now down 5 pro bowl starters and a few others. Disappointing to say the least.

Go for the 9'ers...I need rivals.

[limeydale]

Got the Cards by 7 but will take a Jets win.

[limeydale]

Jets looking like a 3 and 13 team at this point. Arizona back to .500
