The 2015/2016 NFL Thread v. yfw da jest win da superb owl

Any UK bros here? Does anyone in London really give a shit about NFL games? Seems like sort of an odd thing. Is the NFL really eyeing a Euro expansion teams? How about my Ameribros? Who's getting up at 9:30am EST to watch the Jets? I'll be at work so yeah, I'll be watching it, between various emergencies, with a ward full of some of my favorite mental patients ... some of them are even crazy enough to root for the Jets along with me.
 
Michael Vick tonight on the Steelers!

VIVA RON MEXICO!!
 
I love it how they actually programmed it into the software for the NFL online shop to reject "MEXICO," "RON MEXICO," etc as custom jerseys...
 
They did the same thing when people started trying to order Brady Jerseys with words like "Deflator" lol

Shit bro I found some online cheap too (pretty obviously fake but good enough to troll some pats fans.) Totally getting one.

I'm thinking of getting on as a troll gift to one of my buddies at work who is somehow a Mets/Pats/Knicks fan
 
god damn,

a Steelers RON MEXICO jersey would be so cash right now

fuck the Ratbirds. said it every year in this here thread. not going to change

average attendance at london nfl games is ~80,000 so, yeah, i think some people in london enjoy it.

what's going to happen tonight, jim? i'll be excited to see vick chuck it for your team.

hard to tell. I'm with the players - Thurs night games (short weeks) should be abolished

this hurts PITT many ways. 1st the defense must be at least average, Vick is known for at least one pivotal turn-over for a game. since Game 1 the D looks good, but it kinda rests on the back of Ryan Shazier, whom cuz of the short week is doubtful

offensively so much of what the Steelers do is based on well-timed routes that took even Big Ben a year's grace to learn in Haley's system. Vick on a short week? errrm. the other aspect of the offense is when Big Ben evades a defender and he gets into "playground football" - at the very least Vick can do this sort of thing. in Vick's old age his arm doesn't look too bad, the strength seems there

I just hope WR Antonio Brown's streak doesn't fall to the wayside due to Ben's absence. in a league of ne'er do wells, he stands out as a class act

only chance of Steelers winning is if the Ratbirds cave in to the pressure of 0-4, stuff goes wrong, Flacco gets picked off a couple times, they let the crowd win. that's what I'm hoping happens - all else is pretty much stacked against my team's advantage
 
I'd much prefer Vick tonight than half a dozen other teams 2nd string qb. I wouldn't want him running the team all year but he is solid enough to keep the points ticking along. Defence just has to lift at home against those scraggy crows

Speaking of custom jerseys...

I am not trying to be racist. That was apparently the winner of a prize for be the millionth follower of the Pats on twitter.

absolutely. the situation was critical in this year's pre-season, aka 4 WEEKS OF BLOODSHED, when we lost the consummate pro back-up Bruce Gradkowski to injury

Vick is about the best back-up you could get. keep in mind, he did beat the Steelers last year, in one of the funkiest games of football I've ever seen - as the NY Jest QB

I would prefer Vick to start than even 1/3rd of most NFL QBs. imagine if the McCown bros were starting, as they do in New Orleans & Thieveland?? I'd say this game was a lost... but I have a sliver of black & gold twinged hope

shit busty that reminds me - I need to pick up an All Blacks replica jersey...
 
Whether they win or not the afc north belongs to cincy but I'd love to see bmore in a deeper hole
 
I want Cinci to win the afc north. like two times ago when the bengals won the division, steelers win the SB

can't believe pittsburgh started to gel on offense and defense before the half. Vick actually has a better star line than Mr 100 Mill Joe Flacco. if this turns out true at the end of the game I think we can finally put to bed the philosophical question of is Joe Flacco elite??
 
Steelers are a lot more fun to watch with Vick at the helm. As someone who loves scrambling QBs, I've wanted to see Vick playing with a good team for pretty much his whole career.
 
Congrats to the Steelers for the most missed chances to end a game that I've ever seen. Man was that painful to watch.

Yeah it was on par with the Yankees game last night ... but at least (offtopic) they clinched a wildcard spot tonight ...

you are smoking crack. Big Ben is one of the best and was having a typical MVP type season before the injury (with his numbers). I'm a Vick fan too, but don't let your fandom get in the way of you saying something ridiculous ;)

DIE SCOBEE DIE!!! DIE YOU FUCKIGN MOTHER FUCKING RAT!! YOU LOST TWO GOD DAMN GAMES THIS SEASON ALREADY!!

why so many injuries :(
 
I went to bed last night when Flacco got sacked on 4th down with like 2 minutes left in the game. I was shocked to find out the Ravens somehow won that game. I didn't even know until someone in my office mentioned it.
