Is he still alive ?
I never liked allo allo.
Why do they call it football anyway ? Fat blokes on steroids chasing after a rugby ball while that gladiators bloke throws his duster about.
Very strange game.
GO CHEESEHEADS !
 

NFL 2009

Half way through the regular season, time for predictions. Here's mine.

NFC - Minnesota to beat New Orleans on the way to the Superbowl.

AFC - Pittsburgh to beat Indianapolis on the road to get to the Superbowl.

Pittsburgh champions again.

Cincinnati to win the Superbowl :eek:

AFC Colts bt Steelers
NFC Cowboys bt Vikings

Cowboys win Superbowl



Hopes that puts the curse on the Cowboys
 

NFL 2009

New England blew a 17 point lead to lose 35-34 to Indianapolis. :cry:

And I really mean they blew it. 2 turnovers in the Indianapolis endzone, and then the craziest call by Belichick. 6 points up with 2:10 left, 4th and 2 on your own 30 yard line, who in their right mind would go for it? :banghead:

Cincinnati's win in Pittsburgh makes them 5-0 in their division with just Cleveland at home to go. Jam Jar's prediction is looking quite good right now.

Loads of injuries to key players today - Michael Turner, Cedric Benson, Kyle Orton, Ronnie Brown, Troy Polamalu, Brian Westbrook again. Does Julius Jones count as a key player?

Quite shocking from Belichick, the Colts own the Patriots now.

Anyone want M Lynch :wave:

What a great game! Unbelievable drama :sorted: Gets nicely rid of any lingering memories of the dross served up by the 49ers vs the Bears :sorted: I got the impression watching on the sidelines that Brady agreed with Belichick's decision to go for the 4th & 2.....gutsy call and only inches away from sealing the victory.........in my opinion, I don't think a punt down field and a greater distance from the NE goal line would have stopped Manning....the NE defence seemed out on their feet.

Fantastic game, really enjoyed it. Do I chance watching Thursday night's game.....surely can't be as bad as last Thursday's? :(

They've got to stop showing the Colts as the Sunday night game, I only got 1 1/2 hours sleep before heading in to work.

(Not quite season 2009, but seems the best place to post this.)

A contestant on Mastermind chose the history of the NFL as his specialist subject this week. Take the test by watching it on iPlayer here.

I got 6 correct and am kicking myself over a further two which were partially correct!
 

NFL 2009

Another all-nighter ends in misery for the Patriots. :cry:

Wake me up at lunchtime.

And I can't watch iPlayer over here, anyone care to transcribe the questions?
 

NFL 2009

I see my kiss of death doesn't just work in fantasy football.

Since tipping Pittsburgh to win the Superbowl, they've lost 5 in a row, including Oakland and now Cleveland.

:blush

Why the hell didn't I use my powers to hex the Dolphins and Jets?

NFL 2009

With regards the Wembley game next year, rumour has it it could be the 49ers who are coming to town. And there will be two games next year too.
 

NFL 2009

Yep, 49ers and Ravens at home, possibly Seahawks as the away team, and the other team I have a suspicion on are the Steelers and the Pats again

The formula for the games to date has been NFC v AFC. Haven't looked at the inter conference rota for next year but are those match ups possible?

Re Wembley, I understand the Redskins have held discussions with the NFL about being the visiting team.

Doesn't mean it will definitely happen, but trying not to get too excited...

NFL 2009

NFC playoff picture

The 6 teams are known as we head into the final week: New Orleans, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Arizona, Dallas, Green Bay.
If Philadelphia win in Dallas on Sunday, they get 2nd seed behind New Orleans. Otherwise, Minnesota or Arizona get the bye week and Philadelphia will play away in the wildcard round.

Dallas v Philadelphia
Minnesota v NY Giants
Arizona v Green Bay

The fixtures are great, it's a pity there's so little at stake on the final weekend.
 

NFL 2009

AFC playoff picture

The top 4 seeds are known: Indianapolis and San Diego have a bye, Cincinnati and New England will be at home in the wildcard week. 7 teams are in with a chance of the other 2 spots.
NY Jets and Baltimore have it in their own hands, and both have very winnable games. If one of them loses, Denver are next in the pecking order, followed by Houston. Pittburgh, Miami and Jacksonville need increasingly unlikely combinations of results.

1:00pm EST
Miami v Pittsburgh
Houston v New England
Cleveland v Jacksonville

4:15pm EST
Oakland v Baltimore
Denver v Kansas City

8:20pm EST
NY Jets v Cincinnati

With the favourites playing last, each of the 7 teams will still be in with a chance when they play.

Denver have dropped Brandon Marshall for the final game, because McDaniels doesn't think he wants to play badly enough. More great man management there from McDaniels.
 

NFL 2009

Looks like McDaniels will be on the hot seat - could be a shock sacking, from 6-0 to 8-8, and blowing the chance when needed to win the final game to make the playoffs (three times now in 4 years).

Dallas look hot and possibly will exorcise their daemons. Given they have stomped all over the eagles I think they will do it again next week.

Benching the only two Broncos who can catch must have helped the cause

re CIN v NYJ didn't see the game but did CIN actually turn up? 72 yds of offence all by rushing!!
 

NFL 2009

Turning to the Wild card games, we have the unsual scenario of three rematches of week 17, making it harder to predict.

My predictions are

AFC
Jets@Bengals - If Chad O is out I can see the Jets repeating their win, but I did tip the Bengals to reach the Superbowl - so Bengals to win this one

Pats@Ravens - Another tough one to call, the loss of Welker may be the backbreaker - Ravens are inconsistent but I think they will win this one -

NFC

Eagles@Cowboys - Cowboys look red hot on defense, they are playing well and I cannot see them failing at this stage again.

Packers@Cardinals - Arizona are a funny side, can be mediocre one week and brilliant the next. Packers on a good run, but I think Arizona will edge this one.
 

NFL 2009

I didn't hear it myself, but several people have observed that on Sky Sports last night they said the loser of the Eagles/Cowboys game would face the 49ers in one of the Games at Wembley this year.

Cue Jam Jar getting a little excited... :fishing:
 

NFL 2009

Yes, I heard it too

The first time I have ever wanted the Cowboys to lose ... and they go and roll over the Eagles :rolleyes: :D

Was rooting for the Eagles as I would love to see Cowboys-49ers at Wembley, but the Eagles will do. :)
 

NFL 2009

As a Vikings fan we have to play the highest ranked seed winner out of the Wildcard round.

Dallas (3) vs Philly (6)
Arizona (4) vs Green Bay(5)

I see us playing Dallas in the divisional round, if we beat them I can see a Packers vs Saints divisional round then a Vikings vs Packers NFC Championship show down. :)
 

NFL 2009

I'm not making any more predictions. :grey:

But Julian Edelman will fill Welker's shoes more than adequately. :) I can't tell the difference between them anyway.
 

NFL 2009

And I finally got a prediction right. Pity I didn't have the courage of my convictions, and put Edelman in my fantasy team.

:sad:
 

NFL 2009

The Sky commentators are giving some sticks to the Pats, they reckoned the stadium was half empty, the prawn sandwich brigade had stayed away. Also booing the home side when falling behind is a big no-no.
 

NFL 2009

Amazing game between the Packers and Cardinals, you have to feel for Rogers it would have been one of the best comebacks in the play-off history. I expect Saints - Cardinals game will be a huge shoot-out, and I expect the Cards to come out on top.

The other games aren't so easy to predict, the Cowboys should have the better of the Vikings, and I think San Diego will put paid to the Jets. Not so sure about the Colts - Ravens. Ravens have an exceptional Road record in the play-offs, I expect Ray Rice will torch the Indy defense, so I am going for a shock Ravens win.
 

NFL 2009

Last night was crazy, and as a Packers fan, pretty gutting.

The D just didnt show up. Loved the call and execution of the onside kick though. Brilliantly done.
 

NFL 2009

49ers v Broncos at Wembley, October 31st confirmed

Go Broncos :)
 

NFL 2009

Cowboys being man-handled by Vikings, Romo is being hounded and has fumbled three times, not good for Dallas and not good for my fantasy team. I guess Vikings and Saints are the best two teams in the NFC so it will be a good match up. I'm rooting for the Saints. As to who they will face, I fancy the winner of San Diego - New York Jets to upset Indy. Then again what do I know my predictions have been off this season.
 

NFL 2009

Jets will win the whole thing. Sanchez is maturing game by game and the Jets are #1 in a lot of important areas.

But im a Jets fan - so I might be a little biased.

Chargers are dangerous, but if we can do something crazy today I fancy Jets to beat Colts and go on to Superbowl glory!!:)
 

NFL 2009

YEAHHHHHHHHH superbowl here we come! Favre and Rice are the new Brady and Moss. Next week will be just as hard but IF we beat the Saints then we will go all the way ! :)
 

NFL 2009

Bring on Manning and the Colts - I am confident the Jets defence will shut out Colts for less then 20 and if Sanchez can pick the right plays and show the composure he did today the Jets will be at the superbowl!!! :D

Do you realize the Colts starters will be playing all four quarters this game?
 

NFL 2009

No reason not to believe, the Jets defense are probably one of the best in the NFL this season. The Colts have problems against the run and they will have their hands full containing Jones and Green. However if Indy jump into a 2 TD lead early then the Jets aren't really equipped to come back.

I think Norv's time is up in San Diego, yet another play-off choke, stupid penalties cost them dearly.
