Raiders for me! I have done a few fantasy leagues in the past, won a 20 team fantasy run out of the states, it's better when you have to draft a team, rather than the NFLUK where you can all pick the same players.
Bears fan here due to family born in Chicago. Always had a soft spot for the Chargers though, my first game being Saints/Chargers at Wembley, great first game to watch and LDT was a beast!
I suppose a draft is possible tomorrow night if there is interest
I'd be up for it, let's see if we can get enough interest.
How would it work exactly ?
Takes about an hour, just in order need to draft a team from the running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks in the league basically. Then from your own squad of 12 or so pick a team to start each week based on who they start against etc. You can then pick up undrafted players throughout the year based on any injuries causing some random to become the Rams starting RB.
The Broncos will destroy the entire league in the regular season, just like last year. Expect offensive records to tumble; Peyton Manning to look like Christ himself at times during the season; some random D-lineman to shoot somebody in a bar during a roid-fuelled rage; Welker to come back from his amphet suspension and be the best receiver in the league; Hillman, Ball, Anderson and Bibbs to carry for approximately 237 yards combined all season; Manning to fall apart like badly put together lego the first time the Broncos play anywhere it's cold in January and get smashed up by someone like the Steelers or Seahwaks in their first playoff game
I'm dolphins, glory boy gone wrong, my cousin moved there in about 1984 and followed them since.
Me too. We're the Liverpool of the NFL; big in the '70s and '80s and done sod all since. 4 months of ruined Sunday nights await. Still, I'm off to Wembley at the end of the month to watch us which will be good. An 8-8 season of obscurity one imagines.
The Bears for me, got into American football in 1985, the year they won the Superbowl(glory boy) and then went to see them at Wembley in '86 vs the Cowboys. I also played for a few years in the mid 80's for a local team called the Thames Barriers.
Phins. I've followed them for far longer than is good for me. If we can remain focused on the field this year and avoid any scandals I can see us getting to the playoffs and then it is anyone's guess.

Every season I hope for a revival from the Purple People Eaters .. but it never happens .. Seattle looks good for a rare repeat championship
I'll be at Wembley to watch the Raiders get thrashed later this year
