jimbo jones Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Nice win for the Vikings ? Bears lose in OT to the Phins, leaving the NFC north very open with the Packers playing tonight. Thielen increases his record to 6 straight 100 yard games to start the season, the blokes incredible at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly worked. I've watched all the all or nothings and now I'm somewhat obsessed. I just haven't made a decision on who to throw my full support behind. I watched the game on Thursday night, which in all honesty was my first full NFL game that I could follow. I loved seeing Drew Brees win the record, despite not hearing of him before the game, it touched home. I could therefore throw my full weight behind the Saints. I watched the Eagles & Giants last night, the only thing that I came away with knowing little about the sport: Barkley looks a great talent, Beckham didn't look like much & Eli Manning needs to hang his boots up. Any suggestions other than the Saints. I really liked the Cardinals All or Nothing, but most of the guys that I liked have gone now. I'm open to being manipulated. Welcome to the Falcons. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and the rookie of the year Calvin Ridley. What about the defence? We have no defence they are all in the body repair shop and it's great, full on Keegan, we'll score more than you.....when we do. High scoring games guaranteed. We absolutely bottled the Super Bowl, 28-3 up in the 3rd quarter to lose it in overtime. Only Derby County can compete on this level of banter. Hands down the best logo and not one of those crappy phone network named stadiums, we have the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Retractable roof, all the mod cons and a full on possible pub crawl under the stands if you ever make it out there (Google it ?), what more do you want? A bald coach? We've got one of those as well. Yeah you could go for the Saints who are the Falcons rivals, but their Quarterback is only allowed out on day release from the retirement home and their logo is that crap they emboss it on bog roll. Can you handle the shame? I wouldn't do you wrong on this, and if you do decide to go elsewhere, just don't go Patriots or the Cowboys, you're much better than that.

Thought I was in luck this week, Kamara on a bye week & Breida injured, but alas I'm losing to a bloomin' 2-man team this week - Thielen (29.3pts) & Hill (39.20pts). Stoopid game.

If its any consolation, only one of my WRs broke 10pts. The rest have -0.10 combined and the only player I have left to play will only get any points at all if Randall Cobb and/or Geronimo Allison don't play (both Questionable). My top RB was playing the top DEF so I benched him, but my other two RBs are backups and their injured starters returned this week. I got hosed.

Every other teams logo is either their mascot symbol or their name/letters - with the exception of the Ravens (a 'B' stamped on the head of a Raven) and the Raiders (like a really bad football club badge). I'm a huge fan of the Bronco's design, I think in style alone it's the best imo; but the Falcons get extra points for having the function along with the form. The Saints logo is also one I really like but it's the Fleur-De-Lis, it's hardly their symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've supported the rams for about 10 years now and I'm loving it at the minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions other than the Saints. I really liked the Cardinals All or Nothing, but most of the guys that I liked have gone now. I'm open to being manipulated. I’m a Cardinals fan from that All or Nothing. Obviously I’d highly recommend being a Cardinals fan, they’re a well run organisation, the uniforms are amongst the best and the Johnson/Rosen is a combo I can’t wait to watch the next few years...but this season could kill anyone off becoming a Cards fan. It’s a bit rough. Still, we have a really exciting young QB and could (will) have a really high draft pick this year. What I would recommend you do is just enjoy the entire NFL this year. Watch RedZone, get yourself a copy of Madden and just get to know the league/players this year. Then do fantasy with us next year and see which teams you enjoy rooting for. By playing fantasy you find yourself following certain teams and falling a bit in love with them. If I could do it all over again, I’d do that.

EDIT: but obviously don’t become a Patriots/Cowboys/Raiders fan I definitely got emotionally connected to the Cardinal all or nothing, a lot more so than the others. I really liked Michael Bidwell. He seemed like a genuine guy doing the best he could, certainly helped by the fact he saved a dog from certain death and did his best by it. It definitely resonated with me. Steve Keim was great, as was Bruce Arians. It would have been a straight forward choice had I been watching from that point, but with Palmer gone, Arians gone, Campbell gone and few others - that ship has sailed. I have since made a decision... it was a choice between three really strong teams in the end: Rams, Seahawks & Saints. I have since decided to throw my weight behind the Los Angeles Rams. The reasons being: 1) I would love to go and watch the team I support at their gaff. I can't envisage ever going to New Orleans or Seattle, but my girlfriend has a lot of family in LA and they actually live less than 45 minute drive from where they're building the new stadium. It was the most significant reasoning in the choice. 2) After watching the All or Nothing documentary, it was hard to feel a massive connection due to them really bombing that year. However, they had plenty to like - Todd Gurley, Jarred Goff, Aaron Donald, John Hekker & of course the star of the show - John Fassel. The new coach came across really quite well in the last episode, so all is well on that front. 3) As with most plastic supporters, the branding and logo was significant. It was an easy choice on that front, I don't think even @Davidhas a bad word to say about the logo. I'm still learning the game, but I did buy Madden 18 & I can safely say my college team now is the Bullfrogs! I'm also hoping to somehow get last minute tickets for the Eagles & Jaguars game, but I think that ship may have sailed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
