As a brit, i absolutely love this thread. I've been an enormous NFL fan since the mid 80's (given that, unsurprisingly a 49ers fan as it was really easy for my folks to get me a Montana top!) and try to follow everything as closely as i can.
There's still loads of little things (rules etc) that i don't completely get but it doesn't get close to dampening my enthusiasm. I loved Sunday's game, it was absolutely fascinating watching Belichick out-coach the Rams at every turn... ok, not high-scoring but great all the same.
And keep talking KV, i'm bloody loving the history lessons! Plus, hell-yeah to Major League... watched that tape to death lol.
The 49ers and the Dolphins were a big pull at my school back in the 80's. It was all the Montana v Marino hype. I jumped on the Raiders bandwagon in 1984 watching Marcus Allen and Jim Plunkett beat the Redskins in Superbowl 18. I was obsessed with the NFL then (more than I am today). Don't know if you remember a paper we used to get weekly here called First Down? I think I had OCD with every single game stat!
It's a great sport to bet on too if you know your stuff...

I don't have any stats but I'd like to think Chicago would rate low when it comes to violence at games. It's like Hokahey said sure you can find trouble if you're looking for it.
Unfortunately I have heard some bad stories about Chargers, Dodgers, and Raiders fans violently attacking people.

This should be a a good game this weekend Chicago versus San Diego. Two teams both on the downslide.

three great games so far...I will probably regret saying this but I'm glad the 49ers get the Vikings.
Go Eagles

Two quarterbacks still in the hunt, Mahomes and Watson that the Bears gave four draft picks up to jump ahead and pick Trubiski. It hurts. Supposedly they didn't even interview Watson.
Tom Brady this year still put up some good numbers and made the playoffs and keeps getting asked if he's gonna retire. They'll reload and it will show he still has plenty left.
A lot of these younger players have a body thats older than Brady's due to injuries like Wentz for example.

Giants hire Joe Judge as new head coach. He's a special teams coach and fans are worried. The media mostly says this guy doesn't have a chance, he can make it.
