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.)

I watched the first half (could not stay awake for the 2nd due to jet lag) .. couldn't believe the final score when I woke up this morning! .. I wish I had though. Two QB's in great form. The fake pass that Manning did to run in his first TD for 5 years was sublime
 

Nfl 2013

Watched all of it, what a game!! Even though it pains me to say it, I think the Broncos are unstoppable this year... Never liked Broncos, hate Manning and since Welker went there, hated them even more, especially as the Pats are struggling so much on offence....

I watched it as I'd backed Broncos when they were trailing. It was all over at one point as Broncos were cruising to victory, then there was a massive swing in fortunes.

With a couple of minutes to go and cowboys in possession I thought I'd lost, then there was that great interception. Boom.

That td fake by Manning was so good it completely fooled the cameraman! In fact he was about three yards from the end zone before anyone Cowboy on the pitch even realised he had the ball, and even then it v was just one player. Utter genius play.

Saw a comment from Manning afterwards where he said only he knew he was going to do that. He said he kept it from his team mates to ensure the fake was as authentic as possible.

like I said genius!

Only unsurprising thing about Romo is that the press are slaughtering him over one pass, Without the 35 completions it would have been embarrassing.

At least Sean Lee has stood up and been counted on the defensive side. 48 points conceded Sunday and don't forget the Broncos were down 14. Blown lead and 21 unanswered last week. **** me even the Giants put 31 points on them but its still Romo's fault

We all know Peyton throws bad picks in big games i.e the play-offs. Denver's D looks a little soft I think there is hope for the rest of the league although I would be shocked if they don't make the superbowl.
 

Nfl 2013

The Bronco's also haven't exactly played any elite defenses either. The Broncos scored 41 points against the Giants D, but don't forget that the offensive powerhouse that is the Carolina Panthers :rolleyes: scored 38 points against them the week after. We'll know how good the Broncos offense really is after playing the Colts, Chiefs, Patriots & Titans - the other Ds they have to face are a soft (Jaguars, Raiders, Chargers and I'm undecided about the Texans.

Manning's TD reminded me of the Luck TD against the 49ers, I wonder if it was Peyton doing a little film viewing a few weeks ahead that inspired him.

Twas a good game although I think it is fair to say that the summary of the last few minutes was probably right in that having forced NE off the field twice Brees and co should have been able to close it out

Damn! ... I didnt catch NFL on Sky last night, but googled when the match was, have to remember that google gives the game time in UK time! .. often catches me out .. I assumed that it was the Monday night game! .. just seen the score :sorted:

Anyone catch the Texas vs Oklahoma game on Saturday evening .. what a crowd/atmosphere! .. good score too :sorted:

You will also need to check out the highlights.

Dwayne Harris had 24 less all purpose yards than RG III had passing plus there are two penalties that I have never seen called before:bound:

The Pack catching up with the Pats on the injury front which isn't going to make life easy for them.

Looking forward to Broncos v Colts this week which should be a real test. Thankfully it was the only the Jags this week as Peyton has a bit of a mare for him

Just had the email from NFL UK with my weekly result and I came 243rd this week. A new personal best for me:bound::bound::bound::bound:

Another view of Rob Ryan's reaction to the Patriots' last gasp win. I've been watching it for 10 minutes and I'm still not bored of it.

I'm getting the idea you don't like him much:idea:

Having said that he was thoroughly unpopular in Big D but in terms of performance I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Kiffin is
 

Nfl 2013

Another win for Seattle last night. With Percy Harvin due to return and already 6-1 can they go all the way this year?
 

Nfl 2013

Some cracking games just finished, Bills win with a field goal in the last few seconds, Jets topple the Patriots in OT after getting one hell of a break with a flag and Redskins beat the Bears with a late TD
 

Nfl 2013

Not a bad debut by Case Keenum so far, QB rating of 122. A lot better than Matt Barkley, with a QB rating of 32.
 

Nfl 2013

That Chiefs game cost me . I'd backed over 38 points in the game and it was practically there at the start of the third quarter....then nothing happened!
 

Nfl 2013

Anybody going to the 49ers-Jaguars mismatch? They're division rivals of my favourite team the Colts, but I'd be tempted to go if I was able to get a Teddy Bridgewater Jaguars shirt (as it would annoy any of their current fans).

And then there was one.

Chiefs D finally woke up/got lucky when Texans ran out of viable running alternatives
 

Nfl 2013

I'm off to that game. Niners playing well. Jags have been gutsy of late but just don't have enough defensively.

The Jags problem has been lack of offense - they've only had 2 games this season where the offense has scored more than 1 TD.

Lose by 6, and lucky in some ways the margin was that small yet at the same time, almost snatched a highly unlikely victory. What a messy night. Fair play to the Colts who thoroughly deserved their victory. I think Manning had more 3 and outs last night than he'd had all season. Having said that, you can't afford the turn the ball over inside the 20's and Broncos were their worst only enemy.

Gotta love Trindon Holliday but for every punt/kick off return he takes all the way, he's always prone to the odd mistake and last night one was costly and he got away with a 2nd fumble.
Hillman, exicting but still has problems holding onto the ball. Personally, although he did fumble, I thought it was a tough decision for the refs to hand the ball over.
Having said that, Mannings sack for the safety, I though Broncos at the time were lucky to escape with just the 2 as it looked a TD to me. Mind you, it ended up costing 9 so not that lucky.

Will be interesting to see how the next few games go. Still put up 33 and could/should have been more if not for the Hillman fumble so all for the good work Indy did, the points were still being racked up. The D is starting to be a big concern though. With Bailey and Von Miller coming back i wasn't overly concerned with the early season wobblest but Bailey hasn't looked the part and maybe age is catching up with him. Von Miller i'm hoping just needs another game or 2. However, that Secondary is weak so will give other teams hope that if you can restrict the Broncos to around the 30 mark, you've every chance of winning.

The biggest question for me now. Forget the 16-0, that was always unlikely anyhow. Let's even forget the question who will stop the Broncos from steamrolling their way to the Superbowl......

It is... will they even win their Division ? Laughable as it may have sounded before, those pesky Chiefs are 7-0 and scraping wins. I thought to myself well, they've not had much to play so far but then checking their future schedule, excluding the 2 Broncos games, it isn't too frightening. 14-2 13-3 what's it going to take to win that division ?

Yep, I'll be there. Hoping the Jags can keep at competitive but expecting Wembley to be empty by the start of the fourth quarter. Expecting a horrible game with the Niners just running it and the Jags not doing anything. Could see the final whistle at 7.30 I reckon which is a shame after last month's excitement.
 

Nfl 2013

Well that trade deadline was pretty unexciting. One trade as the Pats pick up Isaac Sopoaga. Who ? Sounds like they need him though.

Got quite excited when I saw the rumour that the Broncos were chasing Jared Allen but alas, not to be

As for this week. Quite enjoyed what I saw of the Rams Seahawks game where the Defenses were top drawer

Vikings misery continues. From Freeman who couldn't throw a pass to within 3 feet of a receiver to Ponder who erm, didn't want to throw at all.

Broncos despite the mid game scare when they gave away 14 points due to turnovers ran out comfortable winners and the D actually looked quite decent.

Chiefs still grinding away and getting the job done. Those Chiefs Broncos games are going to be massive

Megatron :eek:
 

Nfl 2013

12 teams with winning records so far. Chiefs haven't played a single one yet
 

Nfl 2013

Chiefs remaining schedule - at Bills Raiders Redskins all with losing records. Broncos H & A Chargers H & A Colts at Home.

They've an effecient if not spectualar Offence and a very good Defence that haven't conceeded more than 17 points in any one game this year. Fair enough, as you say, they've been against teams with a losing record but amongst those teams were the Cowboys, Eagles & Giants who are all capable of putting up some numbers as the Cowboys did against the Broncos

It's going to be close but they're definately in with a good shout of winning the division especially if they can share the spoils with the Broncos

One small point of order, the cowboys do not have a losing record, they are currently at .500 and actually had a winning record when they played the Chiefs, albeit 1-0
 

Nfl 2013

My mistake. I turned RT's post around and forgot that if you don't have a winning record, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a losing record. Doh

Anyhow. Cowboys. What a scrap that Division is going to be. Who'd have thought the Giants would be 2 wins off 1st place after starting 0-6 and you just know they're going to go on a run.

8-8 record to win the division ? Surely not lol
