NFL 2015 season Thread

[tikay]

i think with the aim here to get 8 games a season in london by 2025 its as if its a home season de facto and a pre-cursor to a franchise coming here. Presumably because support for the game is more advanced here than it is elswhere in Europe

I seem to recall the NFL said last year the issue is they can't get a broadcaster in Germany. If they had the exposure, they'd definitely be up for a German game, but the national networks aren't interested.

That sounds most likely to me.

Sky Deutschland (wholly owned by Sky) has 4 million subscribers in Germany, Austria & Switzerland, so I would have thought NFL was a good fit for them. Much of their output is Live Sport.

It's hard to reconcile NFL's position on gambling with NFL's position on London, where gambling is everywhere http://wp.me/p14QSB-9TjU

It is hard to understand the NFL's view on this.  The new NBA commissioner is keen to embrace gambling and make it a revenue stream for the league in a much more modern approach.  Think the NFL should embrace it given it is never going away.  Especially when some of their lead commentators make obvious reference to the line and total during their work.  If it really is that big a deal for the NFL then they should be making this clear to the broadcasters.

which team is currently on the longest streak of not making the play offs

26 of the 32 have been in the play offs at least once since 2008

(this is competitive balance, draft process, free agency)

longest current without is the bills...14 seasons

then the raiders and browns, 11 seasons ago

raiders and browns the worst managed franchises in ther last decade, so no coincidence..both changing though especially the raiders since the death of mad al davis, consistently good drafting last three years, headed to play offs on a 2-3 year view

cant see the bills changing that this season especially with all the injuries

I nearly started feeling sorry for the Cowboys, they have such a great O Line but with Romo and Dez injured they are so toothless on Offense.

Then I remembered they signed that scumbag Greg Hardy and the Cowboys can GTFO and I laugh heartily at their misfortune.

[The Camel]

Second week running Carolina are not just looking good, they are looking REALLY good.

Ted Ginn looking like an All Pro.

[The Camel]

Thomas Davis, Luke Kueuchly, Josh Norman, Kawann Short all absolutely awesome.

Cam Newton seems like a different QB to previous years. Possibly injury free for the first time for ages.

Stewart is impossible to tackle. OLine is playing top notch.

Olsen might be the most under rated TE in the NFL

I feel an ante post bet coming on.
