Let's say your team has 7 more attempts at the 10 yard line, but after throwing the ball, the opposite team catches the ball? Does that mean that the sides get switched and it is the other team's turn to attack? I am currently watching a game and I am curious.

[@RJWM1999]

@John Doe can you please clarify what you mean by on foot. Just in case I'm not missing something and you're actually making a decent point. Because otherwise you're speaking absolute nonsense. As far as I know or at least what I have heard. It's called football in America because the ball is a foot long.

[@RJWM1999]

@John Doe also its a joke. Calm yourself 🤣🤣. Its a joke. Y'all so sensetive. "Superiority complex". It's not that deep

@John Doe the reason is simple. All those sports technically all originated from actually football. 🤣🤣 For example Rugby and Australian football definitely originated from football. Canadian football developed from Rugby football. And my guéss is American football did too.

I'm a UK fan of the Brown's, got into American football just before the 2018 season and wanted to support an underdog and nobody was a bigger underdog after the 2017 season than the Brown's. My reccomendation for any European thinking of getting into American football is first you have to choose a team to follow, it's incredibly hard to watch a game of American football without a strong interest in who wins, secondly the amount of commercials in a game really is jarring, its way more than us Europeans will be used to so I advise that you find a secondary activity you can do during the commercials and other downtime and finally if you find that the game length and amount of commercials is too difficult for you to be interested in then just watch the highlights that get posted to KZbin once the game is over, 10-15mins of pure highlights is a pretty great experience.

[@QwertyCaesar]

Chiefs have a lot of talent with head coach Andy Reid that goes hard on offense and Patrick Mahomes who is a freak of nature and possibly the most raw talented player to ever play quarterback, which is by far the most important individual position. All positions are important. No position is negligible and the 2010 Chargers are the best example of that (best offense and defense in the league and missed the playoff tournament because their special teams - the most overlooked part of the team - were spectacularly bad) but no position is as make or break as quarterback and Mahomes has the talent with development on track to be the best QB ever Browns are experiencing a bizarre period of being consistently good for the first time since before you, yes you reading this, were born. Also since you're familar with the Browns go ahead and watch a broadcast of the Browns/Ravens primetime game from last season - it was easily the best game of the season and you'll get the feel another very good and relevant team the Baltimore Ravens. Fun fact - the Baltimore Ravens used to be the Cleveland Browns. The owner moved the team and changed the name and logo of the team. Then a few years later somebody set up a new team in Cleveland and named it the Browns.

[@kneesnap1041]

It has nothing to do with warmness, it's all about the cultural impact of football vs the cultural impact of hockey. If it were the violence, football wouldn't be popular either. Despite the NFL continually dumbing down the game with crappy penalties like roughing the passer, letting o-lines hold more, etc, it's still a super violent sport.

One thing that makes football really unique is its' strategy. Most sports really only have a few approaches, where in football u have 100's. Do u want to build a physical running offense and wear out the defense or do u want a bunch of speedy receivers and spread the defense thin? On defense, do you want to blitz and force turnovers, or do you play good coverage and wait for the offense to make a mistake, or force them to punt? When you really nerd out about all the different approaches you can take, there is no other sport like it.

I think the main reason that American Football is so popular is it's the closest thing to human chess that we're ever likely going to achieve. Yes, it's a very physical game. Arguably the most physical, even, but you'd have to consider Rugby as well in that conversation (and even "soccer" or what Europeans call football is unbelievably difficult considering how much running is involved) but there is a level of strategy in the form of play calling that can only be compared to strategy games like chess.

That Marshawn Lynch story about him fighting his own teammates is too funny

[@clytemnestra]

Great video! Can’t wait for the next part. As an American who has found it hard to get into the NFL I think you’ve sold me on trying to actually follow it.

[@RL11]

I've also started watching properly this season after years of seeing the odd bit of the odd game and never quite getting it. I've picked the Bears as Chicago has been my favourite place to visit in the US in the past, and Soldier Field the only NFL stadium I've been to, ironically to watch the round ball game between the US and England years ago. I'm really enjoying it too, finally getting some understanding of the nuances of the game, and having a team to cheer for really helps. It will be a tough decision to make if the Jags do move permanently to London.

[@letsgobrandon987]

Wow that’s awesome, sounds like you really had a great experience. There’s actually a lot of Aussie football players, mostly kickers, playing here now in college and even some in the NFL. In fact many punters are now incorporating the “Aussie style” sideways running punt to better target where they send it instead of just blasting it deep like they used too. That’s what is cool, the game changes every year little by little even at the top level.

Made for TV !!! That’s so true, it actually takes away from being at a game, waiting for commercials before game can resume can drag on so much. That said, you should definitely go to a game if you’ve never been before. Seeing it in person is better then on tv ( just seeing the whole field and players, where tv just follows where ball is)

[@chrisfrank2664]

One thing I should have said, remember that a game is 60 min long, which is on average is 3 hours after all the timeouts for all the reasons & halftime. But the amount of action, total time of plays throughout game is around 6-8 min.
