NFL 2017 season

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

These are the truly tough questions.
Definitely, that poor kid truly suffered.

And the whole team has a winning swagger. During the lightning delay, the Cowboys spent the period diving into the game plan, meticulously trying to fix things. The Broncos turned on the TVs for the other games, played music and danced. And then proceeded to continue serving that ass whooping for three more quarters.

And yet the narrative nationally is "what's wrong with the Cowboys". I love it. The franchise never gets national respect and I want that chip there the whole season. This team is really good. Vance and his staff have been phenomenal.
Any Dallas game is Dallas centered. Denver is right there in terms of popularity, so it should be more balanced, though. Dallas, New England, and Denver make up a huge chunk of NFL fans.

Also, going into Denver is never easy. They should be favored over anyone they would normally be within a TD of on a neutral field.

The national disrespect is a real thing with the Broncos franchise. They are statistically the most underrepresented team in the Hall of Fame by any win/Hall of Famer metric you can create.

Denver is unbeatable at home in September. Has been for a long time.

And while Denver probably has the second largest regional base behind the Cowboys, none of the top media markets in the country are represented in that region. It should be the legacy of success that elevates them above their market like the Packers though, yet it never seems to be the case.

The Colorado fans are underappreciated, too. The Broncos are the only team to sell out every single home game since the AFL-NFL merger. That includes the Packers fans, where there is absolutely nothing but fuck all to do outside of going to a Packers game.

The Broncos are also the only NFL team left who has not been shut out at home (knockonwood).

Start the countdown until the Rams and Chargers leave L.A. for somewhere people actually pay to watch them play. May I suggest St. Ĺouis and San Diego

Southern California is the ultimate sports bandwagon, Tigg. They have whined for years about not having a football team, and now that they have two they can't even sell 100 tickets. The problem is the teams are not Super Bowl contenders. The stadiums will continue to struggle selling tickets until they're one of the best teams in the league. Until then, there are plenty of Pats/Seahawks fans down here who will gladly switch when they start losing and the L.A. teams start winning.

When they leave and they will this should be L.A.'s last ever chance. Las Vegas is another shitty choice that will backfire.

A lot of black peoples in the audience didn’t stand either. Plus 1/4 of the Ravens and the Jags didn’t. But they all stood for God Save The Queen. Was really classy and showed great purpose and heart. Was impressed.

Then the Ravens proceeded to play the worst fucking game of football I’ve ever seen live. Holy fuck that was futile.

They finished the half with -1 yard. For the half. I mean, for fucks sake. You get paid to play, you asshats.

Bortles and the Jag-offs looked pretty good, but not raping the Ravens by damn near 50-0. Bloodbath.

Indeed, always had a soft spot for them. This was just vultures feasting on a carcass. Even joked “bet we fumble” just as that happened. Was not a pleasant scene. Had to laugh in the end at the sheer futility.

Well my friend, I've had to experience that in the fucking Superbowl with my only team (there is no #2) numerous times (though all but 1 were retrospective), the tears of a clown are very real. :| :cry:

Sanders catches ball, takes 5 steps, ball comes loose slightly, incomplete. Refs then proceed to hand the game to Buffalo on one of the worst unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in history.

Football is a laughing stock. I'm out.

Eh, I'm okay with that loss. Can't leak field goal after field goal on the road like that. Tyrod just made some plays, Justin Simmons continues to make mistakes in coverage and Siemian unraveled under pressure in a hostile environment. Cue the overreaction but Buffalo on the road is always a nightmare, they mostly hung tough. They'll be fine.
