Nfl 2013

Too tired to say much but nice little season opener. A bit of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Not sure what was the most comical, the two Ravens clashing into each other on a punt catch or Broncos' Trevathan intercepting a Flacco pass and dropping the ball before entering the End Zone and then going on to do his celebrations whilst play continued behind him. Manning awesome and that's with Decker not bothering to turn up, 2 receptions for 32 yards and numerous drops. The new TE, Julius Thomas looked useful, Welker was Welker and even Demarius Thomas decided belatedly to get in on the act. Broncos D pretty sound and will only get better with Champ Bailey and Von Miller to come back into the fray. Happy Bronco

Don't know why but when I saw that LB drop the ball and then celebrate I thought of Murray Jones hitting the post and Gayle netting the rebound whilst MJ celebrated his "goal".

Remember Jerry Rice showboating and doing the same thing many years ago ( may have been pre red flag days). Fairly certain he got away with it as the officical said he had control when he broke the plain of the goal line.

In my biased opinion you can add the late Sunday game to the list of good opening weekend matchups too

Well, the first round of matches out the way and extremely tired now. Managed to watch the Bolts steam into a 28-7 lead but woke up to find they'd choked once again.

Will be interesting to see how things pan out over the next couple of weeks but looking good for the Broncos especially as they have a nice schedule. Lions were my outside bet this year so nice to see him get off to a winning start despite AP once again producing the goods. Was also pretty impressed with the Eagles last night. Jacksonville still as poor as ever.

Was a funny old week for RB's as well with some big names having poor weeks and I think we've seen the emergence of the TE as a big threat already (Sudfeld excepted)

As for the fantasy leagues, nice to beat Divisional rivals the Colts to get off the mark in the ESPN league although I'm very concerned about my team this year. Doesn't help that Vereen is now out with a broken wrist. MJD and Matthews were gambles that are already looking dodgy. Sudfeld rofl Already thinking of benching him for an injured played. Thompkins my other NE wild card also disappoints. Good job for NE that they're in a poor division.

Less said the better about the Sky league. Absolute disaster. Still could be worse, could have called myself Grogan's Heroes

One last thing, think it was one of the Redskins LB's who had this big cast thing on. Well, more like a cast ballooned out. Doesnt' this give some form of advantage, especially re batting down throws ?

The two clashing into each other was funny at first, but I winced watching the replays. Bet they had stiff necks yesterday! Trevathan dropping the ball then was just plain ridiculous.

But for me the most comical thing in week one was the look on Tom Coughlin's face when David Wilson coughed up the ball. Again. Just brilliant.

As a Redskins fan it wasn't pleasant watching when I got up at 6am to whizz through the game before going to work. The speed of Chip Kelly's offense is a thing to behold. As Rich Eisen tweeted, he felt like he'd watched a half of football - but it was only the end of the 1st quarter. But it will be interesting to see how it copes as the season moves into winter, the players begin to pick up injuries and are not as fit as now and how NFL defenses learn to scheme for and defend this offence. One of the Redskins defenders said afterwards it was like nothing they had practiced for all week.

The player with a cast on his broken has was nose tackle Barry Cofield. Kinda agree it would be useful for knocking down passes, but don't think he managed one all game?

What about the player who has trained all summer, gets himself ready for the season opener, takes the kick with foot outside the goal line and takes a knee in the endzone for a safety ! Ha nice start !
 

Nfl 2013

or the referee who on 3rd and 6 penalises two offsetting dead ball flags with a replay of third down when it should have been 4th and 6 and the attacking team score a TD on the replayed play. Further analysis of the 3rd down play shows that the dead ball flag against the team on offence should have been picked up meaning it should have been 1st and goal on the 3

I think you could be right, the pat's look off the pace at the moment. Too many rookies for my liking. Brady can only do so much. Letting go of Welker was a BIG mistake.

Nice last minute win for the Bills on Sunday (last seconds more like). Anyone going next Sunday? Mate at work won 2 tickets, Club Wembley section!

The Pats have been bad but the Bucs have problems of their own, the main one being that Josh Freeman doesn't fit Schiano's system meaning many observers think he's regressed over the last couple of years from a fairly low level of performance already. When the Pats play somebody decent they'll get battered unless Gronkowski is back to his old levels of performance and Amendola chooses one of his rare healthy games, but I don't think it's this week.

Bizarre stat about Adam Vinatierri from last nights game

In his long NFL career last night was the first (and probably only) time he has played at the "'stick".

When he kicked the Colts field goal it meant he had kicked field goals in 39 different NFL stadia

For the record, I like sport. My most favourite sport is and will always be American football whether it be college or NFL. My favourite time of year is September to January which funnily enough coincides with the NFL season :)

Another defeat for the Bills. Expecting sweet bugger all from them this season. Looking forward to Wembley on Sunday, first NFL game for me. Hopefully not behind the goal

Who were the main draft picks this year? It seems the pundits are still in a love on with Luck and RGIII
 

Nfl 2013

Whereas Luck and Griffin were the top two picks last year, the draft this year focussed on those players who never seem to grab the same attention, OTs and DEs. The highest drafted WR at #8 was Tavon Austin who appears to have had a steady start. QB at #16 was EJ Manuel of the Bills who, hey, it's the Bills. RB at #37 was Giovani Bernard although the 2nd picked at #61, Eddie Lacy was talked about a lot. Unfortunately, he got himself injured so we'll have to wait and see.

What's gone wrong with the Giants?
0-3 and failed to score against the Panthers.
 

Nfl 2013

How bout them Browns? Loved some of the stuff they were doing yesterday. Really played like a team with nothing to lose...
 

Nfl 2013

Eagles horrendous but fair play to Chiefs and Alex Smith who did a job for a 3-0 start.
Whats going on in Houston ?
Giants get beat to go 0-3, fair enough, but 38-0 They shouldn't be that bad
Fine victory for the Bengals although the Packers didn't help themselves
Vikings and AP not quite there, 0-3 but have conceded last minute TDs in their last 2 games to lose close match-ups
Pats grinding away and sure Pix will be ecstatic they're 3-0 despite their injuries
Interesting to see the Saints at 3-0 as I fancied them to have a big season after last years troubles
Detroit my dark horses only had to beat the now 0-3 Redskins who are just getting massacred through the air
Cracking result for the Fins. Maybe the AFC isn't as weak as I first thought
Bills and Jets.. Does anyone really care ?
Seahawks looking very good so far. Jags simply appaling even if they did manage to get 17 points. Mind you, at that stage, Seahawks had benched half their team and had a Christine !!!as RB
Are the 49s and Kapernick in freefall or are the Colts a team to really look out for this season ?
Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers. Its going to be a long hard season
Tonight has been bad enough so Broncos, you'd better not mess up

Just think if Brentford had an NFL team. We'd be sh*t.

Just think if Uwe Rosler was an NFL coach. He'd be sh*t.

Just think if Will Grigg was a Quarterback. He'd be a right waste of money.

For anyone going on Sunday be aware that the NFL's new 'no bag' policy might be enforced. This means no rucksacks or backpacks, or camera / binocular cases. In the US, only clear bags are permitted this season.

There's a bit of a vague update here (kind of suggests some bags are OK but click on the link to prohibited items and backpacks are out). Think I'll wear my coat with the biggest pockets to put my camera etc in!

Imagine as Trotta steps up to hit a field goal in overtime in the Superbowl. 18 yards and the season hangs on this, what can go wrong?

Been to every Wembley game and tonight's was definitely the best. Great game and great atmosphere. Crowd becomes less 'niche' (geeky) every year.

Really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere, and the cheerleaders. Fancy having that bloke from Kiss singing the star spangled banner, should've worn his makeup. It was nice to come away from Wembley without feeling suicidal as well.

Oh is that who it was. Missed the announcement so had no clue who it was.

Been to all but one of the games and that was probably the best despite the Steelers not being that good really(Big Ben said as much after the game). As bad as they were it was grat to go into the last minute with the game well and truly in the balance

Great day out yesterday, won't lie, the corporate box was awesome, right on the 50yd line. Had David Haye sitting a few rows in front of me. What made it better was the Bills result as well!

Dallas 48 Denver 51. WOW!! 500 yards passing by Romo, a Dallas franchise record, and even that wasn't enough.

But the big news story is that even God hates the Patriots. Needing a touchdown without much time and no timeouts, Brady could have used some divine help. Instead, him upstairs dropped a deluge on Cincinnati, rendering throwing a leather ball next to impossible. And when Brady finally threw a wibbly-wobbly, soggy interception the rain just stopped dead. I hadn't realised God was so petty.

I wonder what will happen when His other unfavourite team, the Saints, visit Foxboro next week. (Hurricane Katrina was clearly retribution for the bounty thing.)
