Name: Tom
Favourite NFL Team and why?: Pittsburgh Steelers - Randomly choose them to support when I watched my first NFL game on TV.
How long have you been following the NFL and what got you into it in the first place?: A few years on and off, never really followed the sport more than watching it when I can on TV and watching the Superbowl every year. I like it because it's almost like the American version of rugby (which is the better sport IMO).

I only really came in here to show my excitment that my girlfriend got me tickets for both games at Wembley this year for Christmas and my birthday, as I haven't been around since then!

Happy with the Steelers' picks so far. 1st pick Jarvis Jones seems to be a good replacement for James Harrison and looks like he can be dropped straight into the starting lineup. Taking an RB in the second round makes sense, Mendenhall and Rainey are gone and the backfield committee that has been left is in a mess. 3rd pick Wheaton looks like a decent speed receiver to fill the gap left by Wallace.

Strengthening the offensive line and getting some young talent on the D, especially at CB and maybe finding and developing Polamalu's replacement should be the priority moving forward.

Also looks like Geno Smith has found a home at the Jets and has already predicted a playoff place for next season, just a little bit ambitious. Didn't Vince Young say something similar when he was drafted?

Also (2) surprised to see Te'o dropping into the 2nd round as well. He looks he might be a bit of a bargain for the Chargers. Let's just hope he doesn't end up with another with another fake catfish girlfriend and end up being the butt of jokes on the Daily Show again

Damn you Tuiasosopo!

only watched the 1st 4 picks (was working at 7)

Biggest surprise for me was the dolphins, not that they traded up, but who they picked. Was expecting a LT to replace Long or a CB and then they surprised everyone and went for Dion Jordon! BOOM!

Gotta assume that they have something up their sleeve for later in the draft.

Just going over the Draft (only watched until pick 16)

Surprised Geno Smith dropped out of round 1. Fancied the Raiders or Jets to draft him and once he dropped I was sure one of them would trade back in for him. I think whoever picks him up in round 2 has a steal. Hes not an elite level quaterback but he can sure play.

Not happy with the Packs pick. Thought there was 5 or 6 better D linemen still available. Would have preffered Sylvester Williams but with Patterson still on the board we should have went for him. Now not only have they taken our best receiver but they have a cracking prospect on the other side. Worrying

Such a wild weekend in the Playoffs, could've flipped a coin for the Broncos / Ravens or Hawks / Falcons games. Both were epic.

With the teams left in it I'd like to see the Ravens win it, just so there's more of this;

Don't think the 49ers would destroy the pats or the ravens in the super bowl, the pats showed a few weeks back they could beat the 49ers. I put hte 49ers as favourites but it would be a close game

Re:DLF NFL Chat Thread (HeroOfWar)

It looks like the Patriots have this sewn up so the AFC game next week is going to be two teams I absolutely hate. If someone held a gun to my head I would probably prefer the Ravens to go through to the Superbowl, give Ray Lewis a finale season he deserves but have them just lose out on the Superbowl (I wouldn't be able to stand all the Ravens bragging much more than they do already).

As for the NFC, I'm actually quite fond of both teams but I think/hope the 49ers will edge it. Colin Kaepernick has been amazing since he came in considering his experience and I think the 49ers are more likely to destroy whoever gets through from the AFC. Also Wembely will then get the current Superbowl champions next season which would be great for the sport over here.

I had a Pats/Pack superbowl, but I'm struggling to see pat the 49ers now.

I'm just hoping for a Manning/Brady championship game, there more we get the better.

glad the packers went out last night! surprised the broncos lost, was backing them to beat patriots to reach the superbowl. seahawks-falcons was a great game too, poor defence though by the seahawks to let the falcons into field goal territory but then the botched squib kick nearly giving them a chance gave added drama! looks like the patriots are gonna win here, reckon it'll be a 49ers-patriots superbowl

Re:DLF NFL Chat Thread (puppet)

What a game ravens broncos was, 4th longest in NFL history the commentators said which can only be good for the winner of the texans pats.

packers 49ers looking a great game atm as well at 21-21 gonna be a long night for me I think

In other news, another Steeler in trouble with the team and his missus:

http://www.nfl.com/news/s...is-rainey-after-arrest

If he gets his act together, Rainey could be one of the best returners in the NFL. I wonder if someone else will take a chance on him.

As a chargers fan, I certainly hope so

I think Rainey could fit in quite well with you guys. He also makes a good change of pace running back and the Chargers haven't had a good ground game since L.T. left. Reading the report of the incident though it sounds like he is the one that needs a slap.

How ridiculous :P

I'm not Ray Lewis's biggest fan but he did so much for the Ravens that it is only right that he gets a good sending off. I would only expect the same for any player that puts that much into an organisation. 17 seasons at one team. Incredible.

Best mate supports Ravens so I'd like to see a Packers Ravens Superbowl but I don't think we will beat the Niners either.

Ravens are my second team going forward!

Re:DLF NFL Chat Thread (Kean)

Can see us struggling at the niners next week. TBH im kinda hoping the Ravens win it. perfect way for Ray Lewis to go out
