The OFFICIAL NFL 2014 Thread

Yes they do, though the NFL is a copy cat league so the look of the Pro game looks a bit more uniformed.

Some teams like to run what is known as The West Coast Offence. This a pass first style offence, quick short passes as well. This has two effects on the opposition defenses.

Quick passing stops the Blitz and it nullifies its effectiveness, it also means the D will put in a Nickel back, this is usually a Safety to replace a Linebacker as they are quicker and can chase receivers better. This though opens up the run game as the LB core and Secondery back off into coverage.


Other Offences will go run heavy, to draw the LB's and Secondary upto the Line of scrimmage to block. this opens up the big down hill pass, or the ''play action' play. this is when the QB fakes the nad off to the Back, cuasing the Secondary to stop for a second (as the think they will have to come up to help stop the runner) this free's the WR for the big bomb over the top.


What I've explained is a very basic guide on certain types of offence.

bye Hampster thanks for dropping in.

They looked at Toronto with the Bills but that has proved to be a non starter.

What makes you say that? It was the Bills, not the NFL, that looked at Toronto. The reason they haven't moved to Toronto is because the new ownership doesn't want to. If other would-be owners had been successful, they may well have moved to Toronto. I don't think it is at all fair to say it proved to be a non-starter.

Why would the Berlin market hold no value to the NFL?

Kudos to start with, London is an Alpha City, almost 3 times the population of Berlin, no one in America is interested in Berlin, let alone American players living there.

NFL is all about money, and London , outside the U.S is where its at for the NFL.

All 32 teams would vote on that. Yes the Bills new ownership want to stay in Buffalo now, but the new market of Toronto to look at would have had the go ahead from the NFL.

I thought I'd kept it simple.

Another Cheesehead here, I love them, and having been to games and experienced it, there is no other team that will ever come close.

You been to Lambeau? How did you get in? Thought there was a 30 year waiting list ?

I prefer the long throw (run heavy?) approach i think but i guess teams mix it up

Look in the AFC or NFC North for your team.

Though if you want to stay in the East and not be a glory hunter then go with the Buffalo Bills., they play in Blue and white as well

This Bengals play calling is awful tonight. What is Jackson doing?

Not to mention, as someone said earlier, they play in one of the very best divisions, which is steeped in NFL history.

Exactly, I know they are the most successful team ever, but they have the richest history, none of this moving around. And they have the best rivalry, as you say the best division unlike some divisions in the AFC!

Only 2nd to the AFC North.

Yeah I went two years ago for vs. The Lions. We got tickets through a friend of my fathers I believe.

I thought I'd kept it simple.

Take out all the words that aren't exclusive and specific to the NFL, and there ain't a lot left.

You need to channel your inner week 1 Gary Imlach.

At last! A screen........30 yard gain.


Oh ffs, holding

 

[Bladders]

I've seen enough already to know the Bengals are in "choke in the big game " mode.

It's like watching the same game 4 years in a row.


I've seen enough of this team to know we'd lose after the first 5 minutes of the game.

This.

Hopefully the next game'll be a belter, not just sour grapes but it's been a distinctly average weekend thus far
