NFLinLondon · NFC Predictions-Ep 309
Here are a few thoughts from the podcast for all you Lazy Lester’s who don’t like holding out for all the goods.

NFC Predictions

NFC East

This division could either be a stellar battle, or a sad layout of bad coaching and even worse play. The Eagles were a shell of their former selves, the Cowboys are still awaiting contracts to be finalised, the WFT will be ‘re-building’, and the Giants? Who knows?
Ryan has the Eagles taking the division with 11 wins, taking the lead over them ‘Boyz who he is predicting to have a spectacular fall. (as in from grace). Washington will limp out with 8 wins, and he sees the Giants struggling to get 5 wins.
Wade also has the Eagles taking top spot, but thinks that they can get to 12 wins with some coaching changes. Let’s see what the loss of Kelce means to Hurts’ mobility. He also has the Cowboys in second, but sees them winning 10 games at least. Both Wade and Ryan see the Redskins going 8-9, with injury concerns if they run the heck out of their rookie QB. Wade has the Giants only claiming 3 wins this season, in a very frustrating affair.

NFC North

All hail the north! The icy tundra of football was won by the Lions last year, something they haven’t done in decades. Can they take the top spot over the Packers again this season, with the Bears loading up on talent? Oh yeah, and Minnesota.
Ryan is going ‘all-in’ on the Pack to take the north, even being so bold as to think they will go 12-5 on the back of Jordan Love. He sees the Lions sinking to second place, with the Bears getting 9 wins to take third place. He also thinks the Vikings will be lucky to get their 6 wins.
Wade might be a Bears fan, but he still thinks that Detroit is top lock to take this division. His Bears will come in at second place with 10 wins, and the Packers just behind with 9. Love struggled at the start of the season, and there is no reason to think that he is just going to ball out this year, just ’cause. The Vikings take home last spot, just like Ryan.

NFC South

Eesh, the South has been a nasty place for the past few years, with everyone struggle to line up some W’s. Cousins is in ATL now, and with all that talent in place, it’s hard to not see why he won’t come out on top. Baker led the Bucs to a big playoff win last season, and all the weight is on him to shine now that he’s being paid. The Saints hate their QB, as do the Panthers, which is never a good start.
Ryan is big on ATL to take it here, and sees them hitting 11 wins to boot. The rest of the division is due a losing record according to him, with Tampa, New Orleans and Carolina going down in that order.
Wade too likes ATL to win this won with 10 wins, although he sees the Bucs close behind with 9. New also has New Orleans and the Panthers following, but with the cats able to muster 5 wins this year off of some running.

NFC West

The West is best for the past few years, as the 49ers have taken top spot since the Rams won the Super Bowl. Stafford and the boys had a good season last year, so maybe McVay has some things cooking for ’24? Arizona and Seattle are beyond rebuilding, so things need to happen for them this year.
Ryan has the Niners taking top spot, but likes the Seahawks to sneak in just behind with a 10 win season.  He thinks the Rams gave away too much D, and will struggle to contain some of the other high scoring teams. He has the Cards last with an 8 win season.
Wade also has the Niners getting 11 W’s, with the Rams just behind them with 10. He has a tie in 3rd and 4th place, with the Seahawks and Cardinals both getting 7 wins a piece.
That’s it for our NFC Predictions! How many do you think the guys got right?
Spoiler Alert! No one EVER thinks anyone picks the right standings, so go ahead and blast away.
Enjoy the 2024 NFL season everyone!

Best Rookie Years

August 8, 2024 by nflinlondon

The NFL hype-train is in full effect, as fantasy fans start making their predictions as to who will be the best rookie in 2024.  But who are some of the players who had the Best Rookie Years?
Let’s take a look at the list at several rookies have made an immediate impact, leaving their mark from day one. These athletes didn’t just meet expectations—they exceeded them, setting the stage for illustrious careers. Here, we take a look at seven NFL rookies who had truly breakout seasons, capturing the attention of fans and analysts alike.
Who knows, maybe someone in 2024 will crack it as well?

1. Randy Moss (1998, Minnesota Vikings)

Randy Moss burst onto the NFL scene in 1998 and quickly became one of the most electrifying wide receivers the league has ever seen. Drafted 21st overall by the Minnesota Vikings, Moss made an immediate impact with his unique combination of size, speed, and athleticism. During his rookie season, Moss caught 69 passes for 1,313 yards and an astonishing 17 touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field with deep routes opened up the Vikings’ offense, helping them achieve a 15-1 regular season record. Moss’s rookie year set the foundation for a Hall of Fame career, and his 17 touchdown receptions remain a rookie record.

2. Cam Newton (2011, Carolina Panthers)

When the Carolina Panthers selected Cam Newton with the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, expectations were sky-high. Newton didn’t just meet those expectations—he shattered them. In his rookie season, Newton threw for 4,051 yards and 21 touchdowns while adding 706 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. He became the first rookie quarterback to throw for over 4,000 yards, and his 35 total touchdowns set a new record for rookie QBs. Newton’s dual-threat ability revolutionized the quarterback position and earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

3. Eric Dickerson (1983, Los Angeles Rams)

Eric Dickerson’s rookie season in 1983 is still considered one of the greatest by any running back in NFL history. Drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Rams, Dickerson wasted no time making his presence felt. He rushed for 1,808 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns, setting a rookie record for rushing yards that still stands today. Dickerson’s combination of speed, vision, and power was unmatched, and he quickly became the focal point of the Rams’ offense. His performance not only earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award but also set the stage for a Hall of Fame career.

4. Lawrence Taylor (1981, New York Giants)

Lawrence Taylor is widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, and his rookie season in 1981 was nothing short of spectacular. Selected second overall by the New York Giants, Taylor revolutionized the outside linebacker position with his aggressive and disruptive style of play. He recorded 9.5 sacks (unofficial at the time, as sacks were not an official statistic until 1982) and was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Taylor’s impact went beyond the stats, as he transformed the Giants’ defense and struck fear into opposing quarterbacks. His rookie season was just the beginning of a legendary career that would include two Super Bowl titles and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

5. Ben Roethlisberger (2004, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Ben Roethlisberger took the NFL by storm in 2004, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 15-1 record and an appearance in the AFC Championship Game. Drafted 11th overall, “Big Ben” was thrust into the starting role in Week 3 due to an injury to the Steelers’ starter. Roethlisberger quickly proved he was up to the challenge, throwing for 2,621 yards and 17 touchdowns while completing 66.4% of his passes. He won all 13 of his regular-season starts, setting an NFL record for the most wins by a rookie quarterback. Roethlisberger’s poise under pressure and ability to make plays on the move laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually include two Super Bowl victories.

6. Gale Sayers (1965, Chicago Bears)

Gale Sayers, known as “The Kansas Comet,” had a rookie season in 1965 that remains one of the most impressive in NFL history. Drafted by the Chicago Bears with the fourth overall pick, Sayers was a dynamic running back, receiver, and return specialist. He scored a staggering 22 touchdowns—14 rushing, 6 receiving, and 2 on special teams—amassing 1,374 yards from scrimmage. Sayers’ most iconic performance came in a single game where he scored six touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, showcasing his remarkable versatility and game-breaking ability. Sayers’ rookie season earned him the NFL Rookie of the Year award and solidified his place as one of the most exciting players to ever grace the field.

7. Dak Prescott (2016, Dallas Cowboys)

Dak Prescott wasn’t expected to see the field much in his rookie season after being drafted in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2016. However, an injury to Tony Romo in the preseason thrust Prescott into the starting role, and he seized the opportunity in remarkable fashion. Prescott threw for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions, leading the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and an NFC East title. His ability to protect the football and make smart decisions under pressure was reminiscent of a seasoned veteran. Prescott’s outstanding performance earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and set the stage for a promising career in Dallas.

These seven NFL rookies not only met the high expectations placed upon them but also exceeded them, setting records and laying the foundations for future success. Their impact on the game was immediate, and their rookie seasons remain some of the most memorable in NFL history. As new talents continue to enter the league, these players serve as benchmarks for what a truly exceptional rookie season can look like.

Will Caleb Williams or Marvin Harrison Jr. have this much of a deep impact in 2024? There certainly is a lot of pressure on them.

Hard Knocking

August 7, 2024 by nflinlondon

The 2024 NFL season is almost upon us, as Ryan and Wade blast out this week’s Hard Knocking podcast. With the Giants finishing their journey on HBO’s Hard Knocks, it’s time to get into the preseason with the Chicago Bears.

NFLinLondon · Knocking Hard-Ep 306

Training Camp

NFL Training Camp’s have begun, with many veterans looking to wait at home, while others get surprised by injuries. That’s what preseason is baby!
The 2024 NFL preseason has seen fights between teams, amongst teams, and of course across social media as players pip at each other over the release of the NFL Top 100 List.
Justin Herbert has started the worry-train, with a concerning foot injury that could see the Charger sidelined for the first few games of the season. Harbaugh says he should be ready to go for week 1, but do you really want to rush it?
After an impressive turn with the Titans, De’Andre Hopkins will miss a few games due to an injury, which isn’t great when you’re 32 years old. Luckily the Titans still have Ridley and Tyler Boyd, but will Billie Jeans be able to connect with them?
Geno Smith might have started the season brilliantly last year, but it won’t be the same this year, as his knee went bum, forcing the veteran to have to miss a few weeks to recover. Not much is expected in Seattle this year, so maybe it’s good if they finish strong this year.

Dazn

While US viewers have to battle high prices, competition, and a failed payment from the NFL Ticket lawsuit, we in the UK have to deal with the new and improved Gamepass from Dazn.
When Gamepass first launched in the UK, it was atrocious, but Deltatre and their team quickly moved to rectify the issues, while the fans forced them to cancel their social media accounts. It was a dark storm, but eventually they released a product that most NFL fans in Europe were happy to purchase yearly.
The Dazn launch hasn’t gone as smoothly, with issues last year popping up almost weekly. Luckily, we’re not involved in the drama, but we were witness to the fan forums, league chatter, and fans contacting us directly to complain. (we have nothing to do with Gamepass).
2024 hasn’t gotten off to a great start, with the price jumping up once again, and fans being offered different prices for the same product. Some lucky fans were even able to grab the whole package for less than £50 by cancelling and getting a new offer within hours in the early days, but that has since faded.
UK fans should be happy that we only have the Dazn issue, and that we don’t have to do the USA dance between YouTube, Peacock, and Netflix. Sky only shows 2 games per Sunday, so there are ways to pay per view, watch at a bar etc when your team plays.
The NFL needs to worry about the Firestick revolution. Facebook is awash with daily ads for streaming services, and since most are based in Russia and the Middle East, it’s unlikely they will ever be punished. True streaming pros are now buying bespoke ‘boxes’, which not only offer 50000 channels, but build in encryption so that internet companies are clueless.
As for us, we’re still on Team Gamepass, and are confident that Dazn will get it right, if UK NFL fans continue to make their voices clear. The company has proven they’re listening, so give them a chance before you go dodgy.

History of the Washington Redskins

July 4, 2024 by nflinlondon

Perhaps one of the most iconic and controversial teams in the NFL has been the “Washington Redksins”-aka the Commanders, aka the WFT, aka who know who they will be next?

From the early years as an NFL dynasty in a tight league, to the Dan Snyder years, the team from the capital has always drawn big eyeballs. 

So let’s take a look at the history of the Washington Redskins, and why the team has only appeared in London once over the years. 

Origins and Early Years

The team known today (for now) as the Washington Commanders has a rich and controversial history that begins long before their recent name change. Originally founded in 1932, the franchise was initially based in Boston and was known as the Boston Braves. The following year, the team changed its name to the Boston Redskins. In 1937, the team relocated to Washington, D.C., becoming the Washington Redskins, a name that would stick for over 80 years. After 80 years, it became unstuck, which is where we are now.

Early Success and Championships

The move to Washington, D.C. coincided with immediate success on the field. In their first year in the capital, the Redskins won the NFL Championship, defeating the Chicago Bears. The team repeated this success in 1942, cementing its place as one of the NFL’s early powerhouses. These victories were largely due to the efforts of star players like Sammy Baugh, a pioneering quarterback known for his versatile skills. It seems that a move to the nation’s capital was a big boon for Washington and the team.

Controversies and Name Issues

The name “Redskins” has been a subject of controversy for decades. Critics argued that it was offensive and perpetuated harmful stereotypes about Native Americans. Despite mounting pressure from various groups and the broader public, the team retained the name until 2020. The debate reached a tipping point during the social justice movements of that year, leading the team to temporarily adopt the name Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Washington Commanders in 2022.
Despite numerous native groups protesting that the name was indeed ‘respectful’, many Liberal-mobsters jumped on them, proving the issue is far too contentious now.

Famous Players and Legendary Moments

The Redskins boast a roster of legendary players who have left an indelible mark on the game. Beyond Sammy Baugh, notable figures include John Riggins, whose powerful running helped the team win Super Bowl XVII. Joe Theismann, the charismatic quarterback, led the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII and was instrumental in the team’s success during the 1980s. 

Art Monk, a prolific wide receiver, set numerous records and was a key player during the Redskins’ successful runs in the 1980s and early 1990s. Defensive end Dexter Manley was another standout, known for his pass-rushing prowess. Under the leadership of head coach Joe Gibbs, the Redskins won three Super Bowl titles (XVII, XXII, and XXVI), solidifying their reputation as one of the NFL’s elite teams.

The Redskins in the UK

The Washington Redskins have also made their mark across the pond. As part of the NFL’s International Series, they played a regular-season game in London at Wembley Stadium in 2016. This game against the Cincinnati Bengals ended in a dramatic 27-27 tie, showcasing the excitement and unpredictability of American football to UK fans. The match was a significant event, as it highlighted the growing popularity of the NFL in the United Kingdom and provided British fans with an opportunity to see their favorite players in action. That was however the last match London has seen for the WFT, beckoning the question as to when we will see Washington back in the UK again?

Modern Era and Rebranding

The modern era for the franchise has been one of transformation and adaptation. The rebranding to the Washington Commanders represents a new chapter, aiming to honor the team’s storied past while embracing a future of inclusivity and respect. This period has also seen the team strive to return to its former glory, with a focus on building a competitive squad through savvy draft picks and free-agent acquisitions.

Looking Ahead

As the Washington Commanders, the franchise is poised for a new era, building on its rich history while addressing past controversies. The team continues to engage with its fan base, both in the U.S. and internationally, with hopes of creating more memorable moments and legendary players for future generations. Now that Dan Snyder and his reign are over, perhaps the team can get back to trying to win their division, something that hasn’t been done for decades.

The history of the Washington Redskins is a tapestry of triumphs, controversies, and legendary figures. From their early days in Boston to their rebranding as the Washington Commanders, the team has navigated the complexities of modern sports culture. For UK fans, the Redskins’ visit to London remains a highlight, exemplifying the global reach of American football. As the Commanders, the franchise looks forward to writing the next chapter in its storied history, striving for excellence both on and off the field.

So…should they change their name?

Top 10 Biggest Scandals in NFL History

June 15, 2024 by nflinlondon

The NFL is known for putting out a family friendly product every Sunday, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t always go to plan.
Sometimes the league has to get involved when teams or owners try to push the envelope too far, or worse yet, find themselves mired in controversy. 

So let’s take a look at the “Top 10 Biggest Scandals in NFL History”, and look back some of the more awkward experiences that the league has had to glaze over. 

Yes, we did forget some of them. No, it’s not on purpose. Yes, we’ll cover those in another article.  

Today, we’re diving into the seedy underbelly of the NFL to explore the top 10 biggest scandals that have rocked the league. Grab your popcorn and your foam finger, folks – this is going to be a wild ride!

1. Deflategate: The Ballsy Controversy

In 2015, the New England Patriots found themselves in hot water when it was discovered that their footballs were softer than a marshmallow in a microwave. Quarterback Tom Brady was accused of orchestrating this nefarious plot to gain an advantage, leading to a saga that lasted longer than most NFL careers. The league tried to sweep it under the rug, but the scandal had more air time than a blimp at the Super Bowl.

Tommy has always maintained that he ‘had no idea’ about the balls being deflated, but his recent Netflix roast might pump some air into that claim.

2. Spygate: The Patriots’ Peeping Tom Moment

Before Deflategate, there was Spygate. In 2007, the Patriots were caught videotaping the New York Jets’ defensive signals, proving that Bill Belichick’s playbook might have included a chapter on espionage. The NFL destroyed the tapes faster than a teenager clearing their browser history, leaving us all wondering what other secrets were hidden in that grainy footage.

For those of you still wondering, a ‘videocamera’ was a device used in the late 90s’ early 2000s’ to capture a parents joy at their eldest child. They of course were replaced with smartphones, as were parents in 2021. 

3. The CTE Cover-Up: Not Just Another Headache

For years, the NFL tried to downplay the link between football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease. It took a Hollywood movie and Will Smith’s accent in “Concussion” to bring this issue to the forefront. The league’s initial response was about as effective as using a Band-Aid for a broken leg.

Now we have seen the full blown effects of CTE, and with the amount of head trauma and pain still circling the league, these will be 3 letters we will be hearing a lot more from in coming years. 

4. The Ray Rice Elevator Incident: A Knockout Blow to the NFL’s Reputation

When video footage emerged of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking out his fiancée in an elevator, the NFL’s initial two-game suspension seemed about as appropriate as wearing flip-flops to a black-tie event. The league’s fumbling of this domestic violence case led to a major overhaul of its personal conduct policy and a collective facepalm heard ’round the world.

The NFL can’t be there to police players everyday during the offseason, but hopefully there is space for more mental health and domestic relationship training for some of these players. 

5. Bountygate: When Football Turned into The Hunger Games

In 2012, it was revealed that the New Orleans Saints had been running a bounty program, paying players to injure opponents. Suddenly, “Who Dat?” became “Who Hurt Dat?” The NFL came down hard on the Saints, but not before the scandal exposed the dark underbelly of football’s violent nature.

Let’s be honest, putting ‘bounties’ on players is nothing new, but it’s usually in the arena of hockey that this happens. ‘Bountygate’ but an ugly word on a practise that was already happening in the league for decades. 

6. The 1925 NFL Championship Controversy: Granddaddy of All Scandals

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 1925, when the Pottsville Maroons were stripped of their NFL title due to a territorial dispute. This might be ancient history, but it’s proof that the NFL has been sweeping things under the rug since before rugs were invented.

Despite ‘winning’ the title game over the Chicago Cardinals, the Maroons were deemed to have ‘cheated’ by playing an exhibition game and violating ‘territorial rights.’
There was a lot of no-goodery going on back in the 1920s’. 

7. The NFL’s Tax-Exempt Status: A Financial Hail Mary

For years, the NFL operated as a tax-exempt organization, despite raking in billions. It was like claiming your pet goldfish as a dependent – technically legal, but raising more than a few eyebrows. The league finally gave up this status in 2015, presumably when someone pointed out that “non-profit” and “multi-billion-dollar industry” don’t exactly go hand in hand.

Just like a mega-church, the NFL became the biggest deity on Sundays, but that doesn’t mean that they are beyond the tithe. Many still complain that the NFL brings in ‘too much money’, which is something that the NFL does not complain about. 

8. The Washington Commanders’ Workplace Culture: A Toxic Stew

Recent investigations into the Washington Commanders (formerly Redskins) revealed a workplace culture that was about as welcoming as a cactus patch. From sexual harassment to financial improprieties, this scandal had more layers than a linebacker’s game-day outfit. The NFL’s initial response was slower than a defensive lineman in a marathon.

Dan Snyder might go down as the most ‘POS’ owner to have ever owned a team, until you look at some of the old chestnuts who have owned teams before him. Take a cold shower Snyder, and make sure you film yourself like you did those cheerleaders. 

9. The NFL’s Handling of Colin Kaepernick: Taking a Knee, Giving a Cold Shoulder

When Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, the NFL’s response was about as smooth as a quarterback trying to catch his own pass. The league’s attempts to sidestep the issue led to accusations of blackballing and a settlement that probably cost more than most Super Bowl commercials.

Take a knee, don’t take a knee, Colin K still maintains that he is ‘ready to play’ in the NFL again. Our knees will most likely give out before that ever happens again. 

10. The St. Louis Rams Relocation Lawsuit: Show Me the Money!

The NFL’s handling of the Rams’ move from St. Louis to Los Angeles was about as transparent as a brick wall. The ensuing lawsuit revealed that the league had potentially violated its own relocation guidelines, leading to a settlement that made team owners check their couch cushions for spare change.

Art Modell could have told them that the best way to do it, would be to load up some trucks in the middle of the night and shuffle off. Cheaper, and way more surprising. 

From deflated balls to inflated egos, the NFL has seen its fair share of scandals. While the league often tries to sweep these controversies under the astroturf, they serve as reminders that even America’s favourite sport isn’t immune to fumbles off the field.
We didn’t even get into the slew of drunk and dangerous driving charges that teams are now facing on a yearly basis, (talking to you Chiefs!)

In fact the legacy of the Chiefs from 2017 to the present is quite riddled with questionable behaviour and a shocking amount of drunken stupidity. 

As fans, we’re left to wonder what the next big scandal will be. Will it involve performance-enhancing avocado ice cream? Perhaps we’ll discover that the referees have been making calls based on Magic 8 Balls all along. Whatever it is, one thing’s for certain: the NFL will be there, ready with a broom and a very large rug.

So the next time you settle in for some football, remember that behind the touchdowns and tackles lies a league with more secrets than a spy novel. But hey, that’s just part of the game, right? Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to go check if our fantasy football league has a bounty program.
