Nice retro uniform New England are wearing. Reminds me of Steve Grogan and Stanley Morgan. :love2:
Buffalo are winning though. Not very early 80's.
Play of the day from Sunday at the end of this video.

New England scrape it 25-24 after scoring 2 touchdowns in the last 3 minutes.
It looked like they'd blown it on turnovers - two failed 4th downs then an interception returned for a touchdown - but in the end it was Buffalo's only turnover that cost them the game. They just needed to down a kickoff with 2:06 left, and get 1 first down to win. Instead the returner ran it and fumbled it, to let New England get the ball back for the winning drive.
If you get a chance to watch the 4th quarter, watch it to the end. Buffalo's final drive, needing a field goal to win, was very entertaining.

On my sofa in my PJs, with a bottle of plonk and some cheese and olives. 
Canal Plus here in Spain has 4 games a week. Sometimes I even get the commentary in English. No red button though.

The interception of the day from week 2.
And the touchdown of the day from Andre Johnson.
This one from Mario Manningham isn't bad either.

Anyone else crazy enough to stay up and watch Monday night's game?
The Colts' defence was on the pitch for more than 3 quarters of the game. Is this a record for a winning team? Edit: I've just read it's the most since 1977.
Indy had scoring drives of 12, 32 and 43 seconds, and they weren't short drives. All 5 of their scoring drives added up to less than the 8:45 Miami spent on their 2nd touchdown drive. In the end it was Miami's inability to move the ball quickly that cost them the game, as they threw a hopeful pass into the endzone on the final play.
So that'll be Simon T happy. Any other happy bunny bees today?
Jam Jar and California Bee I guess, as San Francisco go 2-0, beating another division rival.
Santa Barbara Bee, as the Rams go 0-2. Bitter, or what?
ninebelowzero, as the Vikings dominate again.
I don't think the rest of us have anything to celebrate though.

The Forty-Niners' running back Frank Gore scored two touchdowns with runs of eighty yards (well one was seventy-nine). Brilliant!!! :bound::bound::bound::bound:

Gamepass is too expensive and there seems to be teething problems. I have dumped Sky Sports in disgust at their diminishing coverage...so am grateful for 'Five''s free to air coverage.SillyChip

I'm keeping my feet firmly on the ground, we've been 2-0 a few times in the last few seasons only to fall apart.
The Vikings on the road next, that will be a very tough game.

Minnesota Vikings 27 San Francisco 49ers 24
After playing a dynamite match the The Niners seemed to have this game under control when they had a first down with just a minute and a half to go but the coaching staff chose to run the ball three times with no Frank Gore on the field (now out for two plus weeks after his first carry). The Vikings used their three time-outs and only ten seconds were taken off the clock before we gave the ball back to Brett Favre. The winning TD was questioned as the Vike receiver's foot appeared to raise chalk on the backline but a review resulted in the score standing for a three point Minnesota win. One strange stat given the closeness of the score was that the Niners failed to convert a single third down in eleven attempts.
Heartbreaker in Minneapolis as the Niners fell to a thirty yard TD with only two seconds remaining.

I'd use a slightly stronger word than "losing". Is it on Sky? It's the featured game here in Spain. And not a single passing touchdown for Brees.
And the Bengals take the lead against Pittsburgh with 14 seconds left!

New England on the telly again this weekend. :bound:
And again in 2 weeks at Wembley. That's 4 weeks out of 7 they'll have been on the telly. Does that make New England the ManUre of the NFL? Supported far and wide by armchair fans, but hated by everyone else?
At least I know I started following them when they were crap.

Baltimore 14 - 17 Cincinnati
Cincinnati are for real: they go top of the AFC North after yet another last minute win. And they really made Baltimore look ordinary, both on offence and their no 1 rated rush defence. Carson Palmer still doesn't inspire confidence though.
The other big surprise in the early games was Carolina beating Washington after being 17-2 down in the 3rd quarter. Looking at the stats it looks like their were a lot of turnovers leading to very short scoring drives.
Now let's see if Denver are for real. Hope not.
Edit: Oh. My God! I think I'm gonna have to switch the telly off. I don't think I can look at that Denver strip for 3 hours. :yuck:

Shocking start for the 49ers, they stink both sides of the ball so -14-0 down - this team isn't really geared for comebacks, this feels like a performance all too typical of the last few years - its like watching Brentford on the telly.

Truly awful 49ers performance, especially on defense. If they play like that again in two weeks, Matt Schaub and the Texans will have a career day.

Colts go 5-0, Titans go 0-5
The Colts were absolutely awesome last night. Apart from a cocked up punt return and an interception, they were perfect in all areas.
The Titans, on the other hand, sucked. They only got into FG range 3 times, and 2 of them were down to the aforementioned punt return cock up and interception. The one good thing for the Titans was their improved pass defence. Allowing 300 yards and 3 TDs to Peyton Manning isn't nearly as bad as allowing 300 yards and 3 TDs to Dave Garrard.

Got to feel sorry for the Titans 0-5 and 45-0 down to the Patriots at half time. I wonder if the Patriots will manage to rack up 70-80 points at the end.

Five touchdown passes from Brady in the 2nd quarter.
And he's come out for the 2nd half. I'd rather see what Hoyer can do for half a game. They could even give Edelman a drive at quarterback.
