I was just wondering what this league was like/ what it entails? :P I'm quite interested in joining (and also becoming more active in this thread), but I still don't really know that much about american football. I started watching last season, but only really watched my team's games (Colts :wink: ) Just wondering how much more I'd need to know about the league to be able to participate...

One AFC championship game doesn't change multiple beatings :wink:

Do you think you guys will do better or worse this year?

I'd like to say better... Hopefully Luck will be a bit more confident this year. He just seemed a bit shaky at the start of last season, throwing a lot of interceptions and stuff. Hopefully some of the new players from the draft will mean that we have a more solid offensive line.

Things can only go up though. Luck's gonna turn into a great quarterback.

I think this year for you lot could be a bit of a wobble wouldn't expect you to win 11 games again. Think next year will be the one to watch out for Luck.

To be honest I haven't actually looked at the schedule for next season yet. But I agree, it'll be a couple of years before Luck really comes through.

I think it will be next year Luck really goes bang. Pretty damn excited to see Tavon Austin though this dude looks mercurial...
