[T.S Quint]

MetLife cleared, was hindy on the assessment team?

Niners still dropping like flies.
We’re down to half a second-string team...and we still flogged the Giants.

Hahaha suck shit Giants.

Bears are our bunnies, we should win our group but its early days

the good thing about todays win is that its not the usual guys scoring all the TDs, spread it around a bit today

I hope Rodgers stays fit. He should of had more rings.

Phili are horrible. Actualy that whole group we are in is nasty. Cowboys win it but gee....

 

[T.S Quint]

Oh ffs Cowboys, you had one job. f**k you.

f**k you too Seattle. I hate those pricks so much.

At least the Bills got the job done over the Rams. Made it hard for themselves though.

 

[T.S Quint]

I hate that whenever the Niners have a good team everyone else in their division is also a good team. We never do it easy. Patriots just don’t know how good they’ve had it for so long.

Bills atleast look good now.
Jets seemed to have a bust with Darnold.
Dolphins in 2yrs will be a great side I feel. They have cleared deck and will build wisely.

American football is better than Rugby league. Its not even close.
Debate or whatever - I don't care.

I agree. More cause well its impossible to pick plus there are so many different plays. 100s...It is like a game of chess. And execution. More tense and big plays and turning points.
But league flows better and is easier to chill and watch with a beer and a chat. NFL you need a bit more concentration.

Totally different, in terms of their execution:

* rugby league is non-stop for two forty minute halves (except for penalties, scrums, etc); NFL has several breaks between plays, time-outs, 2-minute warnings etc.

* rugby league has, like, ten plays (and variations of them), whereas the NFL has thousands

* NFL (which I love) can be very stop-start, and stuttery; rugby league flows more smoothly.

They're chalk, and cheese - about the only thing they share in common is large, athletic men, bashing into each other. And that's about it.

No f**king way is NFL better than RL

tackling, touch downs/tries, conversions, running, stepping/juke, tackle counts on -side rules.
They have a lot in common.
We always go on about the flow of rugby league, the ball always being in play etc. But most plays the vast majority of players on the field are almost in neutral and with the wrestling there is basically a proper stoppage after every tackle.

I think if this were true Sydneysiders, NSWmen and Australians would like RL more. Even in Sydney it isn't anywhere near as popular as American Football is in basically every city/town in America.

This is true.

And as much as I love rugby league, it can become very repetitive - five tackles, bomb; rinse, and repeat.

Yep, it needs to go back to the future.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Does Don Lane still present the NFL?

Yeah. They dig him up every week and he presents it Weekend at Bernie’s style.

I think you do care. I think you care heaps.

 

[hindy111]

I like both. Nfl is a great game but I have more of a bond to the Eels and it means more to me of they win then the team I support in Nfl....
