Diggs
Cousins
That is some throw and catch.
Such a bad defense. And to think people blamed Capers.
I think Michael Thomas & Stefon Diggs might be my dream WR duo.
MINDGAMES are happening.
Icing actually worked
I wish icing was banned. It's such a shit tactic.
EDIT: That's why you do it though, I guess
79pts & counting in the KC game. They may as well just wear the Kansas college team uniforms & be done with it.
51 TDs in the early games. Roughly 38 of them came in the KC/Pittsburgh game.
Carlson
He can join Zane Gonzalez on the scrap heap.
You know, I hear Dan Bailey needs a job...
Kicking has been awful today across the league.
Keelan Cole has glue on his gloves
That's a pretty good catch.
Glad I left Keelan Cole on the bench today
Did Vontae Davis retire at half time?
That's amazing.
JoJo Natson's pretty quick.
Oh shit.
Jaguars have learnt from the AFC Championship game.
They look the real deal this time.
Holy fuck.
Lions defensive holding (not even at the play) rules out a huge pick.
Good to see Demaryius still has butter hands.
When Gruden gets sacked
Has Gordon gone anywhere yet? Green Bay so desperately need some speed at receiver that I'd take the chance.
how in fucks name would you even begin to start getting into and understanding college football in the uk?
also, any decent websites/blogs/podcasts i should be checking out as a fairly uninformed nfl fan?
I've no idea how I got to know how it works myself, I think it just came from watching and reading stuff on a Monday. That said I probably don't really understand it any more as it was the BCS system when I used to be able to watch.
EDIT: I presume you mean the system rather than the rule differences as it's almost identical to the football they play in the NFL.

They have games every week on ESPN and it's not hugely different to the pro game bar some rule differences.
Wentz is back and will start on Sunday.
Dolphins 2-0 lads
Antonio Brown took the bait nicely there.
Steelers always get butthurt.
ESPN's website is a decent enough place to start for college football news. The 24/7 Sports college podcast, the Stick To Football podcast & ESPN's College Football Live are the three that I have on my podcast subscriptions, and if you want to watch games/highlights there are plenty of channels on YouTube (Ev Fed, as he's currently known, uploads basically every college game each week in full, and rtsportsuploads tends to do a couple of big games in condensed form each week).
It's basically the same game, except you only have to get one foot in bounds on a catch instead of two, they have better safety rules for helmet hits & kickoffs, and anyone half decent will get a billion yards every game because nobody can tackle or cover.
I don’t even get how Americans care about it let alone you lot. It would be like me caring how my university’s football team is doing despite the fact I’m no longer there.
Plenty of Americans probably follow Man United but I doubt any follow a university team. The concept is just weird to me. Even when I went to university I didn’t give a shit about any of their sports teams.
There aren't university soccer teams in England that are near the same scale as a professional team. That's not the case in the US, the college game is huge.
There's a huge difference with a university in the US getting 90,000 in and a huge TV deal to university sports in the UK which consists of 3 men and a dog watching a kickabout.
Yea, obviously it’s much bigger, but I guess what I mean is I don’t get why it got to that stage and why people cared enough for it to grow the way it has. I guess the fact it feeds directly into the NFL helps.
I bet on the Lions to lose, not because I particularly care I just have a friend who's a diehard Detroit Lions fan, and they lose but didn't cover the spread. I'm mad.
So the Vikings cut Daniel Carlson & signed Dan Bailey.
The Browns, meanwhile, cut Zane Gonzalez & signed Greg Joseph, a UDFA from Florida Atlantic who couldn't even make 70% of his kicks there
I'd have rather had Blair Walsh or Cairo Santos tbh.
I've just read an article about Kirk Cousins and the 8 million support staff he hires. I like how no-ones asking how he possibly afforded any of this stuff as a college athlete.
Apparently Zane has a groin injury & the Browns made him kick through it both games
Patriots closing in on Josh Gordon.
Brady with a legitimate weapon is a fucking frightening prospect.
I'm sure there are examples, but what dickheads have the Pats had where the combination of Bellichick, Brady and other locker-room leaders hasn't got them in line at least for a bit?
Albert Haynesworth
Corey Coleman released, again.
The fact there's a clause in that Patrs trade for if he misses 10 games speaks volumes though.
