NFL 2010/2011

Minnesota Vikings v Green Bay Packers is on at 1.00 am on Channel 4.
 

NFL 2010/2011

And the Patriots hold out for a jammy win, despite having only 180 yards of total offence.

The wackiness continues.

Don't know if they keep records for the wackiest week ever in the NFL, but week 7 2010 must surely be a contender.

Jay Cutler gets intercepted 4 times by the same player. Drew Brees also gets intercepted 4 times, as the champions get flattened at home by Cleveland.

San Diego give up the 2 most comical turnovers in the history of the word comical.

Oakland rack up 52 points at the Mile High Stadium, and it's not even the end of the 3rd quarter.
Edit: 59 points now, still in the 3rd quarter.

And the Cowboys haven't even played yet.

Didn't the Cleveland QB only have about 70-80 yds passing with two pick sixes by the same player making up 14 points?

BTW I have a spare ticket for the game on Sunday

Any chance the cowboys may have had of turning the season around headed to the locker room just before the half.

Mind you Bryant, Witten and the D did contribute 48 points to my fantasy team
 

NFL 2010/2011

Kitna is one of the better backups in the league and has shown he can win before on multiple teams. You'd need somebody to slow down the Cowboys, Eagles and Redskins to have any chance of making the playoffs.

I suppose it could be worse, I could be Mike Singletary looking at the bench and finding David Carr:D


I'm guessing when you said Cowboys you meant Giants?

Imagine how much trash talk there will be if any of the NFC East teams are in north Texas in February

Anyone go to Wembley ?

Had a ball, took my 5 year old kid to his first NFL game. Cracking game, great atmosphere, I thought the other Smith did pretty well considering it was his first NFL start.

Biggest roar was for the updates to the Cowboys Jags game.

Not from this fan it wasn't!!!! Got plenty of stick from the four people I wen with.

As for the game, thought it was a bit of a slow burner but once it got going was good and could have gone either way at the end.

Bit gutted Vernon Davis didn't play more as he was in my fantasy team:( But Brandon Lloyd and Frank Gore were also so not too bad

Anyone know who the guy in the suit on the 49ers stand was? No not Jerry Rice. Male IC1 possiblylat forties early fifties?

There have been a couple of writers (Prisco, King) who have suggested the Jags might be candidates to move to London. Any idea where the away end would be at Wembley if this did come about?

Most of cheers in the area I was in were clearly anti Cowboys rather than pro Jags

Looks like the injury curse has spread to cheerleaders now, as the Chiefs promote several from the practice squad.

Not sure if you're tongue-in-cheek on this question but in the NFL there is no "away" end, it's all "home" seats. Distances between teams are so large that, aside from Niners-Raiders, Jets-Giants and a handful of other pairings, it is not practical for fans to travel from, say, Tampa Bay to Seattle or even Indianapolis to Jacksonville. Also, in most clubs all the tickets are sold out as season-tickets before the season begins.

Well with my Vikings 2-5 and now we've released Randy Moss, Our season is over in my opinion!

I was in Florida the other week ... The Bucs have been failing to sell out their home games all season, when that happens, local tv is not allowed to show the game live!

Maybe they should do that at GP, if the match does not have a 10k crowd, GPG should be shut down and Beesplayer is only available overseas during game time! :fishing:

The Jaguars are famous for covering large areas of their stadium with tarpaulins so that the seats aren't on sale and so they don't have local TV blackouts, hence their other nickname of the Tarps :D The NFL screwed up when they assumed that an area that is passionate about college football would also take the NFL to heart. Most people in the area are passionate University of Florida fans and don't really give a damn about the Jags.

I would not be surprised to see the Jags moving to Los Angeles before long.

As I said earlier, Peter King of Sports Illustrated has suggested the NFL may want to move them to London instead. Los Angeles has never really worked as a home for an NFL team despite the size of the TV market there.

The Rams were outstanding in LA until Georgia Frontiere took over the club from her late husband in 1979 and then took the Rams back to her home town in St. Louis. Los Angeles owned the western division in the seventies with a cadre of top players , making the Super Bowl in 1979.

What do kickers and punters do in training all week? You'd think they could spend a day a week practising to be each other's backup, wouldn't you?

But no, the Lions lost to the evil and pernicious Jets because a defensive lineman tried to kick an extra point. OK, it wasn't any defensive lineman, it was Ndamukong Suh, but he still missed.

At least Wes Welker successfully converted an extra point, but I'd like to see those little legs try to kick a 45 yard field goal.

Did Scifres end up leaving the game?

One think they seem to work on in Indy is making it look the blocker has run into them:fishing:

Personaly I think the die was cast just before H/T at Fedex Field.:fishing:

Garrett calls a swing pass to Felix Jones, Phillips could/should have over ruled him (mind you Romo could have changed the play too I guess)

Garrett taking over - strange given that he's been the offensive co-ordinator with a pretty free hand all season.

Not a Cowboys fan, so I can watch the soap opera with enjoyment - my friends over are suicidal at a 1-7 start !!! :sorted::D

I hope Garret doesn't get the job full time. He has as much to answer for as Phillips. I guess it was the obvious thing to do mid-season. Could be the Andy Scott to Wade's Butcher.

What that will mean I have no idea. :confused:

Half way through the season, time for those predictions. Jam Jar predicted New Orleans to beat Minnesota in the NFC Championship game last year, but other than that our predictions sucked. I hexed Pittsburgh, who lost 5 straight after I tipped them. Hopefully it'll work again.

Giants to beat Pittsburgh in the Superbowl.
Carolina to get the wooden spoon.

Questionables to beat Tontas
Trojans for the wooden spoon ;)

Crikey Bills leading 14-3 near end of 3rd quarter. Can smell that first win!

EDIT: Bills Win! Bills Win! My god

Been impressed with Green Bay so far, Aaron Rodgers has been solid and Clay Matthews has been a beast, might be an outside shot if they don't lose anymore to injury

The hex works again! Patriots win easily in Heinz Field.

Ok, so Roethlisberger was playing behind a banged up offensive line, and losing Hines Ward in the first quarter didn't help. but I like to think I did my bit.

Colts and Jets coming up in the next 3 weeks. Bring it on!

Gr8 win for the 49ers too, Troy is the real Smith ! Those penalties almost killed us something which has haunted us all season. We also need to improve on our third down conversions. Also very impressed with young Sam Bradford, the Rams have a good QB on their books.
 

NFL 2010/2011

What about the them Cowboys.

Promote somebody from within associated with previous failing and watch what happens, where has that been tried before?
 

NFL 2010/2011

New England are looking pretty good. Did I mention that they're the highest scoring team in the league?

Anybody playing the NFLUK game and having most things Philly related may have a monster score this week
