    New England Patriots. (Since it was first aired in the 80s) Pretty obvious why. (It's in the name.).And fortunately the best record this century. And greatest Quarterback of all time.

    Miami have hit 70 points tonight, that's 10 touchdowns in a game, I've never seen or heard of it before.
    Were they playing Sheffdy Wensdy or Sheff Ure ?. :D

    Last time over 70 points were scored in an NFL game was 1966, Redskins 72 Giants 41. The biggest NFL win ever is Chicago 73 - Washington 0. 70 exactly was scored once before, and there were a subset of people hoping Denver didn't get another TD, as if the score was 70 - 27 we wouldn't have had a Scorigami, since the Rams beat the Colts by that score back in 1950.

    None of this comes close to college football's biggest score, 222-0. Just last week Portland State won 91-0.

    Packers fan since being guests of honour at Lambeau as a visiting 'soccer' team back in 1990. Glad it was them as such a historic (and fan-owned) team.

    Good to see lots of cheeseheads in the thread. Been a very enjoyable evening's viewing with the NFC north games and our biggest ever fourth quarter comeback.

    Love looks like he might be the real deal.
    GPG!

    It's curious how many Packers fans there are in Barnsley.

    Dolphins fan since the 80s here. Things are finally looking up, with a QB who is being compared to Marino and a potent running offense too.

    Top tier is a decent view for NFL. This is a photo from my seat in block 503, taken in 2018 when the Eagles played there.

    It depends where and how far back you are, obviously. As with football, sideline view is better than behind the goal.

    Edit: Plus you also get to see all the replays on the screens too.

    It's more a case of seeing how each play develops, so it's quite easy to follow. If the ball is thrown, it's easy to spot. If its a running play, then the team on offense often tries to disguise who's got the ball anyway, so the deception is a natural part of the game. Seeing the movement of all the players on both teams in a live environment is far more revealing than you see in TV coverage.

    It's a unique experience in sport, given that pretty much every play is replayed on screen afterwards, that you get to see everything twice throughout the game, plus all the other stuff that goes on throughout the game breaks.

    I watched one of the Wembley games, thats the hardest thing - spotting where the ball is, even thrown it gets lost in the crowd.

    The view was great at Tottenham's stadium when I went last year. In the corner about half way up could see fine

    Ok then here we go, half way now into the 'regular' season.
    Philly scum look like the best team right now, and Kansas do as well, S.Frisco are struggling all of a sudden lol, Detroit are winning for a change, Chicago and Houston are garbage, Carolina have finally won a game lol, New England are sh*ite now without Tom Brady, the Jets are better than the Giants in New Yoik, Green Bay are awful without Aaron Rodgers, nobody gives a rats knacker about Jacksonville, Washington are and always will be the 'Redskins', and come on Dallas. :)
