Lmao thank you for the new avatar An expected cowardly deed considering the other Bengals fan in the Mizzou thread suggesting the guy protesting via hunger strike should just transfer to another school. God bless BrownThunder fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Nov 11, 2015 |

He clearly hadn't been briefed at all, and just deadpanned "Nah, I've not heard anything about that." That was the BBC. They unfortunately have the problem of having to fill a lot more time than SKY as the BBC are not allowed to run commercials. But still, yeah awful

Bengals posters know the Ravens are going to win 8 games in a row and make the wildcard and then beat their team in the Divisional round of the playoffs

I did like they had cool little infographics explaining the rules beforehand. I feel like American Football could be big here (or well, bigger than it is now), but I seriously doubt we'd get a franchise.

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:I did like they had cool little infographics explaining the rules beforehand. I cant see teams wanting to do a trans atlantic flight that often, especially divisional teams. Also I cant see it gaining enough momentum, sure the wembley games sell out usually but thats because they are uncommon, i cant see them selling enough tickets every 2nd week to make it worth it. People from outside London are not going to give much of a poo poo to see whatever reject they send over from the NFL.

Dubious posted:Can there be anything more heartbreaking than the Matt Dodge punt? I still don't understand how that punt was so devastating to the fanbase. We were tied and we were totally gonna lose that poo poo in overtime and the defensive failure in the final 8 minutes was the real culprit. gently caress, even though the punt was bad, DJax loving dropped it and the Giants special teamers still couldn't contain him. Dodge should have kicked it out of bounds but he gets all the blame for that game and he was like, 25% at most at fault. I found the fuckup earlier this year against the Cowboys worse, honestly. That was a game we should have won that we basically sat back and said "Naw, here you go Dallas, have a freebie"

I really don't think a team in London would be that bad if they were in a division with team in the DC-> Boston area. They would just have to structure it so that the London team has like a 4-5 game homestand, then goes on the road for a month, then comes back to London or whatever. If they're going to be doing 8 London games a year starting in 2018 (I think this is correct), it's literally the same amount of transatlantic travel, actually a little less because the London team wouldn't be flying back every week. It might help if they developed a replacement for the Concorde, and the NFL probably has the money to have one developed specifically for their own use. Air Roger One. Also, if you get Europeans playing a lot more American football and get an influx of European talent like happened with hockey, adding enough teams that there can be a European division 20 years after that first team might not dilute the talent at all. It's not easy, but it's possible, so it's understandable they want to try. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Nov 11, 2015 |

LightReaper posted:As to an actual question, do QBs often switch teams? I guess I'm asking if it's safe to look into a jersey or whether I should be worried about another team stealing Taylor away at the end of the season. Not if they're good and healthy. He signed a 3 year contract with the Bills before the season, so unless he breaks somehing you should be safe.

At the same time don't buy a jersey after 1 half a good season, especially at a position historically known for sadness like the Bills QB. Taylor might turn into the franchise but with how swiftly things change year to year I would never buy a jersey of a player not already firmly established. Just get generic Bills gear like hats n poo poo. At least you can wear those all the time instead of just on gameday.

This is the beauty of Raiders gear. It goes with everything  Plus I'm probably gonna get a Woodson jersey soon. Still relevant, and provided he doesn't kill anyone in his last season or so, it becomes a HoFer jersey.

Ive basically taken to only buying jerseys of players who no longer play as the last 2 eagles jerseys i bought the players left the following offseason (McNabb and Jackson)

There's also always the concern that even if Taylor shows out well for the rest of the year, he could still later end up Kapping or Griffining.

The Bills right now are a kind of horrible glory. The defense is not anywhere near as good as it should be but Tyrod has completely mutated the offense so that it is unrecognizable and I have no idea what the gently caress is going on anymore but it rules and is really exciting. fsif posted:There's also always the concern that even if Taylor shows out well for the rest of the year, he could still later end up Kapping or Griffining. Perish the thought.

LightReaper posted:This is really good advice, thank you. I'll hold off on the Taylor jersey and skip the generic gear as tbh it looks poo poo. That said, totally toxxing changing my Avatar and buying a jersey if Taylor takes us to the The Blue Jays made the playoffs this year leaving the Bills with the longest postseason drought in all major sports. They haven't made the playoffs since 2000 and things didn't end well. Jimmy Kimmel had a great clip of Daniel Radcliffe asking a customs agent if the Bills were leaving Buffalo but it recently got pulled.
