Nah, they lost 3/4 of the pre-season games, and their opposition wasn't all that great for the first 3 weeks: Chargers, Browns, 49ers.

Still, as they finished 4-12 last season and 2-14 the season before at least it's heading in the right direction.

Or the 'I prefer to watch real football, as in players using their feet which means football, and not a rugby-like game with helmets and pads, and only uses their foot to actually kick the laced-pig-skin during the start, or once or twice for a field goal' option .

Okay, "American football", then. Then again, I'm just not that interested in sports in general, so "real" football ("soccer" here in the US *ducks*) doesn't interest me that much either.

Again, doesn't count as football. It is "American Rugby". Remember, FOOTball, means the ball is constantly in play only with the FOOT, whereas this game, the ball is held onto with hands and arms and the player runs with the ball while holding the ball (like rugby), instead of kicking it with his FOOT, therefore, this is American Rugby only with players that are unnaturally big, and then made even bigger with pads and essentially head butt eachother with their helmets.

I live in Green & Gold country, so of course I'm rooting for the Packers. However, I do follow British football occasionally, & I like the Hotspurs.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS!!
I love Football. I've wanted to do some fantasy this year but I don't got anyone to do it with.

Honestly, ESPN is on my TV for 12 hours of the day. The other 12 hours I spend watching some Fox News.

Brett Favre has been my favorite player since I even KNEW Football. I sure hope with the acquisition of Randy he will get back to his good old self again. I hate seeing him do so badly.

BTW, Anyone else collect football cards?

You just had to go and jinx it! Didn't you!
Two straight losses since you said that.

As much as I hate to say this, the Pack isn't going to the Bowl this year. The team's been plagued with injuries, leaving some key players benched for the season. It's evident (to me, at least) that Aaron Rodgers played too soon after suffering a concussion.
I don't know which team is going to win, & honestly, if it's not the legendary Pack, I don't care which team does.

I don't follow American Football, but since my dad follows the Dallas Cowboys, I'll go with them (without knowing any odds).

Like most Scottish people I prefer football (soccer). Go Partick Thistle!
