    So - I've been tempted for a while to try and get into, or at least understand, NFL... and I happen to be somewhere with Sky this week, so I'm giving the second half of this thing a go.

    Some quick questions...

    • What the fuck is going on? ie: what are the rules?
    • I think I understand most of the basics, but then can't figure out how somebody even manages to ever run through/past the defensive line. But... I'm probably just over or under-estimating how hard it is to defend/attack.
    • What I probably need to understand first up... what does "1st and 10" mean? And "2nd down"? etc.
      • if I were to guess... they've got a certain number of yards they need to advance by?
      • And a certain number of attempts to do so?
        "1st" is the "1st attempt"?
        And "2nd down" is the 2nd attempt?
        And the number after that... is the yardage they need to get? Am I on the right track, or completely wrong?

    Edit: fuck youse all. Polish chicks know nothing about seppo-football.
    I found some other beeatch to educate me, the whole time imagining it was her from The League.

              defences are well on top now. Someone needs to bring a big play to break open

                  Von Miller with his 2nd sack of the half. Burrow hurt.

                          those wasted downs are killing the Rams. Every set.

                          Bengals need one good possession

                              Are these teams' offences particularly poor, or are the defences particularly good, or a combo of both?

                                the Rams have a great offence

                                They lost a great receiver

                                And their idiotic coach is ignoring their best receiver to keep giving the ball to a shit running back

                                But both defensive fronts are playing awesome
