habone Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 the Browns lost no big deal...they arent gonna win them all...or maybe none. i guess my prediction of 12-4 isn't looking so good if they cant even beat the bucaneers with that loser K2 on their team! sorry Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Amen! I got into a depression for 7 months after the Superbowl, wish I could hibernate those months. Giants looked great, glad to see my team coming out strong. I love Sundays in the fall, also a great time to smoke a cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsd Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I haven't been this excited for football season in years, but that excitement turned to heartache after that performance by the 49ers today. What an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKA27 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi all! I was going to post a separate thread for this question but decided this was as great as any. I have loved the NFL for as long as I remember but there has always been one huge question in my mind I could never figure out with this sport and seeing now these past two years I've had the pleasure of being a member of FOH with many US brothers, can you answer me this one question so that I can completely understand the game. I notice throughout the game there are instances where there are terms used such as 1st and 20, 6 and 10 etc, etc. What on gods earth does this mean? I'm sure there's an extremely easy explanation for this but any help would be appreciated. On that note, Finally Dallas scores a touchdown!

I'm sure there's an extremely easy explanation for this but any help would be appreciated. On that note, Finally Dallas scores a touchdown! MIKA 1st and 20 would mean: It's first down and 20 yards to go to get another 1st down. Remember football only has 4 downs so a 3rd and 5 would mean it's 3rd down and 5 yards to go in order to get a 1st, or another set of 4 downs. When a team gets to a 4th down, you'll usually see them punt which gives the opposite team the ball and their own set of 4 downs. Hope that helps explain it a bit.

slee87 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 What a bad start for the bay area teams. As a Raider fan i'm not happy at all. Plus my brother beat me in week 1 fantasy. LSDHFKLJSLFJSDLF:LSFJD!#@@#!#@!#!#@!#!@# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 MIKA1st and 20 would mean: It's first down and 20 yards to go to get another 1st down.

When a team gets to a 4th down, you'll usually see them punt which gives the opposite team the ball and their own set of 4 downs. Hope that helps explain it a bit. they start at first and ten so if the ten goes higher, it means they have been penalised or sacked or lost ground somehow. also, on fourth down, you might see a field goal attempt if they are close enough. and YEEHAAAA, SKINS!!!!

MIKA27 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks for clarifying Sandman and Ken, much appreciated. I knew they have 4th down before they must make a punt or a play but the added information now clarifies a great deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
