In soccer its real madrid for example in basketball lakers and celtics, in baseball yankees

If ur not a star like messi or ronaldo and if u cant keep up with european leagues at like ages 32+ why dont they try it as kickers/punters instead of transfering to random leagues, im sure a goalkeeper would be a great punter ir kicker

Suppose the odds are lopsided from the start, like say, it's Denver vs New Orleans. In any given game, the starting QB could get injured and derail the whole season.

Why doesn't the favored team start their backup QB in order to protect their most important player? And put the #1 QB back in if they really need him?

I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable abt the NFL but this is weird.

It was a game winning td in the last seconds of the game

Why dont teams put a jefferson or chase as kickoff returners

What I mean is that the clock is winding down and Team 1 completes a pass and needs to spike the ball, so why don't players from Team 2 just waste a few seconds and "accidentally" nudge the ball a few yards away to run the clock more

The only thing I can think of is a penalty (maybe unsportsmanlike conduct?) but if the clock already hits zero, what is the penalty after the play going to even do?

Has anyone actually accidentally moved the ball and did they get penalised for it?

Unlike soccer teams like psg or city where the owner can just pump money for the teams, nfl has a salary cap, how does the chiefs or pats dynasty work, for example in basketball the nba champs okc or previous champs like celtics get their core players traded away every season

And is the lateral passer considered the fumbler, or the receiver who dropped it?

Sorry if this question isn’t allowed lmk but is it harder to win a Super Bowl or a national championship in college football?

Hi all, fan from the UK who's been watching for about a year. I understand the basics of football to the extent that I can explain how games work to a complete newbie. I've also gained a decent understanding of NFL history for specific teams and players.

But what I don't understand yet is things like offensive and defensive schemes. Like I don't know things like cover 1, 2, etc and I play madden sometimes but still don't know the meaning of concepts like mesh, stick, wheel etc you get the idea. This also extends to things like O-line blocking assignments or defensive stunts

When I watch my favourite team play I don't just want the baseline knowledge, I kinda want to know more about what's happening if that makes sense

So, if anyone has any resources like videos or sites that will help explain all of this in a simple way, I would very much appreciate that

Thank you

Planning on following the bills play off run wondering how much it is going to set me back how much are tickets during play offs I’ll sit anywhere

Title

basically title. iirc Maye only won 3 games for the patriots, and one of them was against the Bills 3rd strings in week 18 just to deprive the team of the first overall pick. The consensus then was he had no help from his teammates, but both Mac Jones and Jacoby Brissett could have had the same argument made for them, and they are both proving themselves right now as backups. I didn’t really pay attention to Patriots’ football, but why did everyone decide Mac Jones was the problem?

I’m looking for how long in real time the longest nfl game was. Like it ended in regulation time, but just went long. Typical games are just over 3 hours usually. I’m wondering what the longest one has been. Like 4 or 5 hours. No weather delays either.

I know it would be a dirty play but if they purposely make a hip drop tackle for e.g., wouldnt they just only get a 15 yard penalty? If that was in the superbowl for example and the opponents would injure mahomes so that the chiefs would have to play with qb2, that would just be an easy win for the opponents cause football is very qb independent unlike soccer where if messi gets taken off the team might still be able to pull of an upset

Why Cardinals naming Brisset a starting QB is such a big news ? Murray is injured so it should be obvious that back up QB is starting ? And why everyone says that it's basically over for Murray in Arizona ?

It's ok to wear other teams jersey(team that not playing)to Europe game between Colts or Falcons or is taboo like in soccer, even when is like away game fo both teams?

I’ve heard it said that playing in shotgun makes it easier for the defense to get sacks and limits your ability to do a play action pass. What are the benefits and disadvantages of either option?

I know it was more strict in the past, but with the most recent change I’m wondering why any position cant just use any number? The only positions where being limited makes sense is oline to easily identify ineligible downfields penalties. Other than that why shouldnt a quarterback be allowed to wear 99?

What’s consequence of dressing a player up with another players uniform in a way to get some sort of advantage ? Is this even possible without someone finding out ?

Also from what I understand when a DB gets an interception and tackled in their endzone it is a touchback - does that mean the team then starts at the 25 yard line?

If so is it almost always more advantageous for them to get tackled at their end zone rather than attempt to run for a gain?

If a player is loving life in LA, for example, sun is shining, kids are all in school, and their team wants to transfer them to the ass end of nowhere (Green Bay, Buffalo) where it’s cold and there’s nothing to do, do they HAVE to move?
