What Makes a Good Offense?

Offense is one of the core parts of a team, along with special teams and defense.

Having a good offense means that your team can communicate. Its all about the strategy. Over the years offenses have evolved into more pass orientated games. Quarterbacks are relying heavily on their wide recievers and other players to catch the ball getting it further down the field.

Here are some offensive plays I found:

Offensive plays are made so the players can memorize them. They then choose the best one, the one they believe will trick the defense. It it works it will lead them to score a touchdown or at least move the ball up the field. A combination of plays can be used until the touchdown is reached.

Diehard vs. Fairweather Fan



Are you a true fan of your favorite sports team or are you rooting for them only when they are winning? I myself, am a diehard fan. I bleed red, white, and blue. PATRIOTS win or lose baby .. they will always be my team.

(Urban dictionary reports:)
Fair Weather Fan: a fan of a sports team who only shows support when the team is doing well. During hard times they usually bandwagon other teams. They basically have no real loyalty to the team, but still manage to get better seats than you at the game. Strangely they mysteriously vanish at the first sign of trouble.

Five Ways to Know You're a Diehard (NFL) Football Fan:
     - a diehard fan never turns off or leaves a game
     - always wears an article of team clothing
     - still supports team even if they are losing
     - fans are okay with embarrassing themselves
     - you always boast about your team

The Four F's

Every Sunday I refer to the four F's: Friends, Family, Football, and Food. In my opinion you can't be happy with the first three without FOOD!

What is better than watching an action packed game with your family and friends? Eating delicious (normally high calorie) food! Food is the first thing on my mind when it comes to planning for Sunday. I have a separate food category for football, including: chips, dip, grill items (chicken, steak, wings), veggies, ect.

One of my all time favorites is my very own homemade appetizer, the 'chicken broccoli braid'.



If you are short on time, grocery stores are always fully stocked with platters, pre-made apps, and other game food favorites.
