I just seen it on Skysports site there.Not exactly the biggest teams but i suppose its better then nothing.All the talk about the Colts vs Steelers for the wembley game seem wide of the mark then,unless a second game does happen.

The Niners have a big following in Europe since the 80's so it would be considered a 'big' team with a big following.

Steelers & Colts don't play each other in 2010.

Jets all the way

I'm a member of a good few NFL forums and didn't hear that rumour. Never mind all of it

2 decent teams who should be competing for a play off spot next year. If either gets a QB they'll probably make it. Big enough names though

Loved watching Favre destroy the Dallas Cryboys! Gonna be tough at the Saints next week though. Jets only down 7 at the half.

Great finish to the Jets/Chargers game. Great call by Ryan on 4th and 1 with 1:55 on the click to go for it and run the clock down. I'd love to see the Jets go all the way now...unlikely though, but you never know!

If in a situation where the "s" word is nearly expected to be heard (talking to GAA heads or whatever) maybe saying Association football would be better. Then again that makes you sound like a bit of a div I suppose!

I'm a Jets fan as well btw. Sunday nights game was unreal!

Saints-Vikings should be a cracker.

Just found this thread now, shame the season is nearly over!

How long has everyone been following the NFL?

I have really only started watching it since 2003 when i started supporting Carolina. Have been fairly bad since then but what can you do!

Since '87/'88. Jags fan and season ticket holder. And yes, the Jags suck at the moment also. Young team, but should be good in a year or two.

I see some mock drafts having Tebow going to you guys in the FIRST round, that'd be a mistake, he'd sell tickets for awhile, but only for so long.

I'd be surprised if they took him in the first round to be honest, as there are other area's of concern with the team. Tebow is a local lad and a lot of fans are hoping the Jags draft him. The problem I see with Tebow is his release. He has a long wind up and that is too slow for the NFL. He'll have to improve his mechanics if he's going to make it in the big time. We've already been down that road with Byron Leftwich.

INcredible NFC game, Both sides unbelievably nervous. Tense, tense stuff

Here's hoping the Saints settle and win the whole thing now

**joeSoap** · 27/01/2010, 10:14 AM

So it's the Colts v the Saints... not exactly what I was hoping for, but still will be a spectacle.

Colts were awesome in the second half against the Jets, 23 unanswered points with Manning throwing for fun. Hope they win it now.

**Aberdonian Stu** · 27/01/2010, 11:24 AM

It's a very tough match up to call. Colts are the definition of prohibitive favourites, I could see the betting line fluctuate wildly depending on fitness reports etc over the next week and a half. I'm going to hold off making a prediction until this time next week.

What did everyone make of the superbowl this year?

I taught it was very good myself, was struggling to stay awake until half time but managed it!!

When the Colts went 10-0 up I taught that was it but New Orleans fought back well and deserved it. I was also disappointed with Peyton Manning, besides the brilliant touchdown pass he made in the 1st I think we didnt see the best of him.
