NFL football season has started and I want to learn how the whole game so I can watch it with my bf. He will NOT explain it to me, he tried once and said i just didn't get it. I do like NBA and understand that, but I want to learn about football quickly? the different positions, the rules, etc. All I know is "TOUCHDOWN!"

you need to watch the games and try to learn each position. if that doesn't work go to wikipedia.com they have step by step of each position and their goals. good luck and go Eagles!

Go out and rent or buy a football game such as Madden. It doesn't have to be the new version, or you can get an older one off of the net used for 5 to ten dollars for Madden 03.
just start playing, paying attention to the positions and how to get it to the endzone. then focus on the defense, and watch what they do. Go to the "replay" and lock on each individual player and watch what they do.
As far as the rules, you will find out as you break them, and just keep playing, and I think you will get the gist of it. Good Luck

I would suggest watching some regular season game (not pre-season) or just read a book about it or read about it over the net.
I'll also list the positons and what their main goals are.
Offense
1.Quarterback-Throw the ball and basically run the team
2.Wide reciever- Catches the ball.
3.Running Back- runs the ball.
4.Offensive line-stop the defense from getting to the ball.
Defense
1. Defensive line- try to get to the ball and tackle opponenets.
2.Cornerback-guards the reciever while they run their routes to stop them.
3.linebacker-tackle people and on blitzes to attck the Qb.
I gotta go i'll come back and update this tommorrow!!!
