RGIII to visit the Jets - don't like it at all.

He'll be going as a backup...but, I wanted him to be in a good team environment and away from Big Media.

Todd Bowles is a cool cat, and he doesn't tolerate bullshit...still.

Decent move by the Broncos. They will need another since they just lost their 1 and 2 starters. Kaepernick would be ideal but he may be off to Cleveland.

oh why not....

Never fails to put a smile on my face.

Whenever I feel down I just need to watch this or the Malcolm Butler Superbowl interception and I immediately cheer up.

I'm surprised by the lack of rumours around Greg Hardy, despite his character issues he is a pretty good player.

I've never followed NFL but love the game and have decided this coming season I'm going to get stuck in.

I'm probably going to have to adopt a team and I'd be interested to know who do folk here follow and why? Might help me decide who I'm pledging allegiance to!

I don't support the Pats, I've never had a team in my 5-6 years of watching. I find it perfectly enjoyable just to watch a sport with no emotional investment in a particular team.

Small market ( I think - not sure if I get what you mean), cold weather, down on their luck but light at the end of the tunnel, passing, offense.

That's my order whose shirt am I buying?

I think you should give the Jacksonville Jaguars your support.

Been shit in recent years but are starting to build a solid team with a great young QB in Blake Bortles.

Pats have always been my team but the Jaguars were the first NFL team I ever saw live back in 2013 when they came to Wembley. Ever since then I have always supported them as a 'second team'. (And watched them at Wembley every year since).

Edit: Don't quite fit your cold weather demand though!

You were close to the Vikings. Are you sure about Passing and Offense?;)

You are sure about the passing offense for the Vikings? Or the light for Lions?

I think Cincinnati would be a fun team to support.

I wouldn't be able to enjoy the Lions without Megatron.

Thanks for all the input guys. This is a tough and irreversible decision that I am basing partly on the info you've given me and, like a girl, the colour of the shirts. Shameful really but true :D

It looks like I'm a Detroit man. No Superbowl appearance yet - ideal :cool:

@Barca84 Good choice. I've followed them closely for the last two years and it's been great, plenty of ups and down, controversies, players stocks on the rise, retirements - the whole package. It'd be boring to follow a team that just wins.

@Eboue Isn't @Orc a Lions fan?

This is possibly the best era of Lions football since the early 90s and the second best since the 50s.
I can see that, I like your roster but I'm not convinced by Caldwell and I'm curious to see Stafford without Calvin Johnson.

@Barca84

Welcome :)

@Eboue might call me a bandwagon fan but whatever haha. I started following the NFL maybe 3-4 years ago, and the only team I'd really heard about was the Pats. And the only player I knew anything about was Brady. That coupled with buying Madden and picking the Pats as the team I played with is why I follow them (kinda lame but there you go!).

It's a brilliant sport to follow in my opinion and one not many people give a chance. But I've always loved the tactical side of sport and once you really understand it the tactical side is huge and incredibly interesting. It's takes a bit of time to learn (not what people do, that's easy; it's why they do what they do is where it gets real interesting) but once you get it you'll appreciate it. And there's so many things I love about it. The fact that a team can go from nothing to something in one year because of how the sport is set up from drafting to salary cap.

Lions have been pretty poor for a very long time so their overall improvement in recent years and making the playoffs last year and actually doing well pretty much catapults the era upwards.

Lions have a pretty good roster and I don't think last year is a good base to predict this year. They're a lot better. Whitehead, Levy, Slay, Ansah is a good base on D. And on offence they've got Tate (will be interesting how he fairs as most probably the no. 1 wideout) and probably one of the best young and upcoming tight ends in Ebron. Abdullah and Riddick should form a good backfield tandem although a power back would help.

It's really down to how Caldwell can coach this team but it's certainly not a weak roster. There's a lot of doubt in Stafford for some reason but he's got it in him I think to take a team far.

Don't know why all Pats fans are labelled bandwagoners. I started watching the NFL in 2006 and until that Butler interception, all I had known as a Pats fan were the heartbreaking defeats to the Giants.

A better bandwagon would've been the ones heading off to Pittsburg.
