NFL 2024-25

Unlike many years ago, it’s now normal in the NFL for excessive celebrations for any and all touchdowns, first downs, sacks, kick returns over ten yards in length, tackles after kick returns of less than ten yards, tackles that prevent an embarrassing gain by the offense, denied completions by the secondary, blocked kicks and passes by the defensive line and penalties against an opponent of any nature.

As you may have guessed, I believe NFL players should calm down a tad.

It's here in the PL
As an example, look at the chest bumping and macho pushing rag players perform after a defender does his job

Refs ridiculous spot on Bills 4th down cost them the game and gave the NFL the Super Bowl they wanted.

I ended up missing some of it, but looks like they made it on 3rd down, got spotted short and then also made it on the 4th down but again got done by a bad placement.

Annoying, but at the same time, they had possession again down by 3 with a chance to go up the field and win, and didn't get it done. Kincaid should have caught it looking at the replay despite it being ridiculous that Allen even got it near him.

Another gut wrenching defeat.

Most people wrote them off at the start of the year, so to make the AFC Championship game is pretty impressive...... But its going to sting for a while!
 
everyone knows the chiefs are protected from up on high they arent even trying to hide the ridiculous calls anymore, just watch the amount of holding calls the eagles get against them next week when barkley breaks through for runs

It's absolutely ridiculous how protected the chiefs are and you're right about the holding calls. BTW the game is in two weeks.

The refs were even allowing them to drop catches and still give them the big first down.

I thought they’d cut down on allowing celebrations after touchdown quite a few years ago
 
Kind of lost touch now there’s no highlights programme on TV. That show with Laura Woods, Osi and Jason had moments of cringe but it was a good way to keep up. I can’t be arsed getting Sky for NFL, already got TNT, Amazon and Netflix.

Anyway, seeing as the Cowboys were even shitter than usual it seems I didn’t miss much. Not really bothered who wins the Superbowl, maybe Eagles for a change from Kansas.

How can a franchise like Dallas with more money than any other sports team in the world be so shit for so long?

Lousy management and an owner, who had some early success when he listened/deferred to others, who meddles and thinks he is always the smartest football guy in the room.

Also in today’s NFL if you don’t have a very above average QB you ain’t winning it all. Fact. Prescott is good but he isn’t that good. They had to sign him for huge money in order to keep him. Now they are saddled with him. Think of Rashford but he is much better than that.
 
Also even though Dallas is a popular franchise they don’t have much of an advantage because of it due to the salary cap. Long may it continue!!
 
Would have thought with the ever growing interest in NFL in the UK, a highlight programme on BBC/ITV would still be worth producing.

I use a skygo login to watch redzone and certain games on Monday/Thurs etc, but would like a highlights/preview show to watch every week.

There's actually a short weekly highlights show on Channel 5 called NFL EndZone. Tis only 30mins but better than nothing & the production team do make an effort with some UK elements to the show.
