NFL discussion thread - Super Bowl tonight!!

[MTVN]

Have had to be out all day and evening so I've ended up starting the injured Newton as my fantasy QB :fist: going to cost me a week 1 win

[BBfanUSA]

LOL, Romo has thrown 3 interceptions. :laugh:

There are two constants in life, LOLRomoThrowsInterceptions and LOLCenaWins

[Drew.]

Pretty bad week 1 for the teams I like, 49ers the only one coming out with a win so far. Really looking forwards to the Colts game later.

508730785948782593

[MTVN]

Lets go Denver!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

Too easy :cool:

[Drew.]

Disaster of a weekend, the few teams I've been drawn too have all been walked over this weekend. Think Its best I stay a neautral.

[BBfanUSA]

He was trying to leapfrog the punter, didn't work out. (regarding Pitt vs Cleveland)

[MTVN]

Think I am safe to call it a night now, Indy did threaten to get back into it a bit second half but our D held up well, nice to start off with a W in what could have been a tricky matchup

Having said that the Colts have just scored a quick TD :worry:

[Drew.]

Colts are far too frustrating to watch.. Only waking up whenever their too far behind to make the come back, although watching the come back and hoping for it to happen is pretty good viewing.

[BBfanUSA]

Pretty crazy week in the NFL though, Bills won away, there was a couple of OT games.

Monday Night has two games to finish out the week.
First Game is Detroit Lions and New York Giants
second game is San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals (This game is set to start after

[MTVN]

Broncos kicker Matt Prater got a 4 game suspension for having a couple of beers while on holiday (he'd been on an alcohol program for a few years since a DUI arrest), Ray Rice only got a 2 game ban for this:

VbwTMJroTbI

NFL logic

[Brother Leon]

Bloody alcoholic. Ban him for life :idc:

[MTVN]

They did actually want to suspend him for a year originally lol but his lawyers managed to get the NFL to agree to a four game ban

[BBfanUSA]

Ravens have cut Rice just now.
NFL has suspended him indefinitely

[Drew.]

My god, Matthew Stafford >>

[BBfanUSA]

MNF Lions and Giants is on right now.

There is also a press conference being held by the Ravens about Ray Rice right now.

[BBfanUSA]

Oh boy...

Word is that the NFL received the Ray Rice tape where it shows him beating his then fiancee from the camera inside the elevator in April from Police.

[BBfanUSA]

And it gets worse for the NFL,

Adrian Peterson has been indicted by a grand jury on essentially child abuse charges.

[BBfanUSA]

Well, Week 2 Sunday is here.

Fox and CBS had the audacity to try and defend Goodell, ESPN's Preshow talked about AP, whom the vikings have deactivated. They were embarrassed about AP and thought what he did was stupid.

Watching Vikings and Patriots right now, forgot that they're getting a new stadium and are playing in a college football stadium.

[BBfanUSA]

RGIII is hurt again, this time it's his ankle. Looks like he's at least sprained it.

It's either prison or getting hurt for my favorite guys. ****

[Drew.]

Some great games yesterday

Huge win for the Bears, Packers getting out of jail & the Bengals look awesome.

[BBfanUSA]

Looks like I'll win my fantasy league matchup

[MTVN]

Been in New York the last few days and went to the Giants game on Sunday, amazing experience watching a game there and such a good atmosphere. Pretty disappointing game for the Giants but it was competitive at least for most of it. The tailgate was quality as well, got there a couple of hours beforehand luckily so had a decent amount of time to have a few drinks and take it all in

[BBfanUSA]

Wow, Lucky.

I hate the Giants but I really want to visit the Meadowlands/Met Life Stadium because it looks like an amazing stadium.

[Drew.]

Lucky sod, Was it you who made a thread on the nfl uk forums about going to the game? Think it was someone going to NY anyway.

[MTVN]

Aha yeah that was me in the Giants sub forum, they were right over there about needing to fill out a form if you want to drink, the most complicated beer I've ever ordered lol. MetLife is an amazing stadium though, we were pretty high but never felt that far from the action really and its a great sight. Was surprised how easy it was to get to as well and how relaxed all the tailgating is, barely policed or regulated at all.

[BBfanUSA]

Huh, for New York that's quite a shock.

There's a bunch of cops at the university football games I work at. They're all over the place.

[Drew.]

Thought a few threads on there looked a bit similar to the ones on here, Turns out you made the What Game Are You Playing thread. Sounds like you had a decent time though. I watched a mini series called Tailgate32 on youtube of these two blokes tailgating at every NFL stadium, The atmosphere always looks great and chilled, you'd never be able to get that here in the UK for football due to the amount of crime that would happen.

[BBfanUSA]

Tampa Bay is jobbing to Atlanta 49-0 right now.

LOL.

[Drew.]

Ended up feeling sorry for the Bucs after the first quarter, took such a hammering.

[BBfanUSA]

Roger Goodell had a press conference over all the abuse cases and the new drug policy (Josh Gordon is now only banned 10 games instead of the whole season.)

Basically when he talked about the mismanagement of punishing players who are charged with abuse charges or are being investigated this video from South Park basically described what went down.
watch?v=9u0EL_u4nvw

[MTVN]

****ing Seahawks

[Drew.]

Bengals & Colts :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

Broncos getting that D.

[MTVN]

Safety!!!!!!!!!!

Our D is actually doing a good job, just our offense can't get anything going

[Drew.]

Peyton has lost it

[MTVN]

Not that disheartened if we do lose really. Seattle on the road will probably be our toughest fixture this year but we've been really competitive and our D has been great, especially second half. On another day we might win it but the offense has never really got going and Hawks do have an amazing defense

[Drew.]

Unbelievable

[MTVN]

Peyton you ****ing beauty!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

Now why couldn't we have got this in the superbowl, great game.

[Slevin]

lol yea for real. that game was way better than the SB. though i liked the ass beating. only caught the last 30 minutes or so (got constant highlight updates though) cause my tv had the KC/MIA game and my team finally won a damn game. looking forward to probably getting an early draft pick.:joker:

[Drew.]

Bears riot coming up

[Drew.]

30 seconds in and it's begun

[Slevin]

a bunch of little things in football are really annoying me lately. Cutler fumbles Jets player scoops in up runs to the end zone but the whistle was blown dead before and Cutler ruled by down. review Jets have the ball. dont score though. if the refs never called it dead Jets would be up 20-17 at least. wish the rule was since the guy ran it in and since it was a fumble they get the TD. so annoying the little things.

[BBfanUSA]

Washington jobbed to the Giants last night.

Has anyone seen the premiere ep of South Park which poked fun at the NFL? They did the Redskins, Dallas' Owner Jerry Jones (Who looked so weird), and Goodell. (They made him into a malfunctioning robot.)
I haven't seen the ep myself yet but I'd imagine it's some good stuff.

[BBfanUSA]

Another excellent match between Green Bay and Chicago. Green Bay lucked out at the end of the first half, stopped a TD at the end of the 1st half by inches and got a 15 yard penalty added to the kickoff of the second.

[MTVN]

Raiders embarrassing themselves at Wembley, not a great advert for the NFL

[Drew.]

Amazing day for the Packers, Ravens and Colts, not so good for the Bears. I still can't decide which one to support.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BypL_EQCEAIBds_.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Raiders embarrassing themselves at Wembley, not a great advert for the NFL

Well this is probably the first time Miami has been to London and not made fools of themselves.

[BBfanUSA]

Word is that the next NFL draft could occur in Chicago rather than NYC. May 30 to June 2

[Slevin]

well that MNF game was aces for me. my team gave them bastards a nice beat down and KC baseball has been great with 2 straight playoff wins with both going extras.

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay Dominated last night too.

I love how hyped up TNF has been only to have every game be a blowout.

[Slevin]

indeed it has been too one sided. i was going back and forth with TNF and the Royals/Angels playoff game. 1 20 point win, 2 30+ and a 40+ beatdown. i see quite a few more possibly. that second one between Atlanta/Tampa Bay was insane with how quickly that was blown up. it was like watching a college powerhouse against some ****ty ass school.

[MTVN]

They should just scrap having TNF weekly, the games always suck. Was the same most of last season too.

[BBfanUSA]

They've been trying with most of the pairings this year but it's kinda blown up in NFL's Face.

[BBfanUSA]

This is college football but still funny, Head Ref starts stating the penalty away from the camera only to realize that he's not looking at the camera.

http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/90113/watch-ref-ticked-at-getting-turned-around

[MTVN]

Peyton has just thrown his 500th career TD pass :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

He's not too far off from Brett Farve too. For most career TDs passes

[MTVN]

We're awesome :flutter:

[BBfanUSA]

If there is one team I hate with the burning passion of a thousand suns more than KC Chiefs, it's the 49ers.

Their new stadium is ugly too.

[BBfanUSA]

*Rumors of Brady wanting to leave the Patriots because they can't play to save their lives*
*Patriots win 43-17 this week against the Bengals*
LOL

[Drew.]

[MTVN]

We win again.

[BBfanUSA]

Oh look,

There's Aaron Rodgers in clutch mode again.

(Was his 100th game as a professional player, LOL)

[BBfanUSA]

So I forgot that I had T.Y Hinton as a player on my fantasy team and he scored 28 points for me.

Aaron Rodgers scored 23 for me, I'm winning this week and could go back to .500

[MTVN]

I'm looking pretty good to win my 3rd in a row and go to 4-2, just gonna need Eli to get more than 15 points tonight

Annoyingly had Newton on my bench who scored 38 points

[MTVN]

I'm looking pretty good to win my 3rd in a row and go to 4-2, just gonna need Eli to get more than 15 points tonight

What a great night of NFL

[BBfanUSA]

Eagles fans unfurled a Tifo.

Annoyingly had Newton on my bench who scored 38 points

:facepalm: useless bastard only scores 7

[BBfanUSA]

I had Eagles Defense and they scored 20 points for me.

I'm projected to win by a mile now.

[BBfanUSA]

watch?v=y85scNreRd4

Tom Wrigglesworth visits Green Bay, Hilarity ensues.

[BBfanUSA]

This week in the NFL

Bills beat Vikings on a last second touchdown thanks to Kyle Orton (Iowa Represent!)

Lions win on a last second Pick Six against the Saints

After the Bears lost to Miami, a brawl broke out in the locker room.

[MTVN]

Great win for the Rams against Seattle as well, see the fake punt they did on 4th and 3 when they only had a 2 point lead and were on their own 15 in the last couple of minutes? That took serious balls. Would have looked pretty stupid if it had failed though

[MTVN]

523933906207121408

[BBfanUSA]

I didn't see that, but I was watching a bit of the Packers/Panthers game and they showed the punt return for a touchdown where they had Seattle fooled on where they had the ball handler during a break

[Drew.]

Time for the big one

http://www.csnbayarea.com/sites/csnbayarea/files/kaepernick-colin-v11-headphones-london_0.jpg

[MTVN]

Yes time for Peyton to take that punk down a notch or two

[BBfanUSA]

Colin is such a idiot.

[MTVN]

One down, two to go

http://kickrocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/peyton-manning-orange-jersey-495x339.jpg

[Drew.]

It's all gone wrong

[BBfanUSA]

One more TD before Peyton breaks the record.

Think only one guy can reach Manning, Rodgers.

[MTVN]

There it is, Peyton you beauty!!!!!!!!!

[BBfanUSA]

LOL, they were playing Monkey in the Middle with Peyton after it.

Don't think he would be able to keep it anyway, it's probably going to be in the hall of fame.

[Drew.]

Peyton :worship:

Glad I got to witness that

[MTVN]

Smashing it now, can feel fairly safe going to bed a bit early tonight

[BBfanUSA]

I've been flipping between Walking Dead, MLS (Seattle vs LA, ended 2-2), and the game so I missed it.

[BBfanUSA]

Has anyone else read the Devon Still story?

[BBfanUSA]

Reminder of two things,

1. Detroit/Atlanta game is being played in London tomorrow about 6 hours earlier than a game would usually start at in the early sunday slot.

2. Cheer for Detroit because Atlanta thinks London is in Spain

Calvin Johnson is out today for the Lions/Falcons game.

Should start in an hour.

[Ramsay]

Lions :lovedup:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

omg how embarrassing is this performance by little mix

[Ramsay]

****, i hate little mix so much.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

can they just let blondie sing all the time?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

no applause oh the shame

[Ramsay]

Stafford :love:

[BBfanUSA]

They're airing the game here on Fox.

I'm watching it but I gotta go soon.

[MTVN]

What's happening to the Lions :umm2: comfortable favourites coming into this game

[BBfanUSA]

They miss Megatron.

That's what wrong.

[Ramsay]

What a TD by Lions :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Well theres the offense

[Roy Mars III]

Of course the Lions win. I called it a long time ago. This is the Lions year, what a great time to be a fan.

[BBfanUSA]

LOL, they lucked out

The Atlanta Falcons could've denied the penalty but since a Delay of Game penalty is a dead ball penalty. There would still be 4 seconds left.

Great game though.

[MTVN]

Lol how the hell do the Falcons blow that lead

Got to love Geno Smith's stats tonight; 2 of 8 for 5 yards with 3 interceptions

[BBfanUSA]

They were also trying to copy a college play with Percy Harvin too during a kickoff that failed quite well because 1. It was kicked to the wrong guy and 2. it went out of the endzone.

(Trying to blend in with the endzone.)

[BBfanUSA]

Two teams dropped 50+ points today, 51 by the Patriots and 52 by the Steelers.

[BBfanUSA]

A man that went missing at the Denver game was found 112 miles away safe and sound.

Left because he was bored...

Okay, he's not American.

[BBfanUSA]

You better hope they show the Broncos @ Patriots game today
This is what it looks like in the Boston area right now
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1culeDCQAA42zA.png:large

[Drew.]

I think that game is on Sky tonight actually, excellent

[MTVN]

****s sake Peyton doesn't like the cold

[BBfanUSA]

CBS better show this game in my area.

I love snow games where anything can go wrong.

[Drew.]

Snow games in football and NFL >>>>>

[BBfanUSA]

It is, Get in.

I hope it's that bad when the game starts since it's a late game.

Green bay is on a Bye this week so I have nothing else to watch really other than another sport and that.

[MTVN]

That's right get that damn stuff off the field

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1dBaEDCYAEzWw8.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Boo...

Ruin all the fun why don't you?

[Drew.]

Bloody snow has gone already

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1dQg6xCQAAeu49.jpg:large

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah. they said it's going to be great for gametime. 36 Degrees.

Boo. I thought they were going to play in that.

[Legend killer]

Guess Pey Pey must have got frostbite

Can only imagine the damage Tommy rockets would do with the Denver offensive line

[MTVN]

We were pretty **** tbf but the Pats did look strong. Don't think the loss is really on Peyton, we weren't terrible just a bit too sloppy overall and our inability to convert any 3rd or 4th downs while the Pats were making almost every one is where the game was really won or lost

Shows how important its gonna be for us to get homefield advantage for the playoffs, expect we will meet them again in the AFC Championship game as long as neither of us **** it up something bad

[BBfanUSA]

Cowboys and Jags are playing in London this weekend.

#CowboysUK, realize what's wrong with that hashtag

[MTVN]

No? :think:

[BBfanUSA]

No? :think:

Hint:
Cowboys Suck

[MTVN]

Next years Wembley games about to be announced

[MTVN]

Jets @ Dolphins
Bills @ Jags
Lions @ Chiefs

Not that exciting really, first game sorta interesting being a divisional match up and the third game could be decent but doubt I'll go to any of them

[BBfanUSA]

Lions and Chiefs sound decent.

I'm actually shocked that Chiefs would want to have a home game in London given that they sell out all their games anyway.

[michael21]

omfg

lucy watson was just interview per show nfl i need to get in the wembley stadium nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[BBfanUSA]

Jets beat the Steelers,

What the Bloody Hell?

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay absolutely destroyed the Bears last night. At Halftime it was 42-0 and Aaron Rodgers was throwing to every eligible offensive player, 6 TDs in the first half and Green Bay played the 2nd team for most of the second.

Thank god I have Rodgers on my fantasy team, I might end my losing streak. All of my hope rides on the Eagles D/ST

Bills DT Mario Williams, Not photoshopped, he's wearing contacts.

[BBfanUSA]

This is the year where the jobbers are doing well appearantly.

Rams are beating Denver 10-0

[MTVN]

We have been terrible

[BBfanUSA]

Philly Jobbing to Green Bay.

Also another 50+ point game, 2nd week in a row.

They're getting hot at the right time I think.

Also They're wearing the throwback uniforms with the yellow circle and blue jersey/number on the front.

[BBfanUSA]

We'll find out if Adrian Peterson will be able to play in the NFL this year or not soon.

NFL doesn't want him to play Players Union want him to, unknown if Vikings would be willing to play him. I think they would but it wouldn't help their problems.

[MTVN]

Banned for the rest of the season

[BBfanUSA]

Yep, he's appealing.

And this could go to an arbitration court since it's without pay.

[BBfanUSA]

Oakland finally won last night, beat their rival KC.

The Bills Jets game on Sunday has been postponed due to the HEAVY amount of snow Buffalo has gotten and has been moved to Detroit on Monday. Not the first time this has happened, when the Vikings' Dome roof collapsed a couple years back, they moved the game to Detroit.

[Roy Mars III]

Let's go Patriots

[Roy Mars III]

Manning is really showing his age lately

[BBfanUSA]

Week 10 today,

Thanksgiving is this week on Thursday, There's three games set for that day. None are on at the same time but I think Lions and Cowboys are B2B.

Bears @ Lions
Eagles @ Cowboys
Seahawks @ 49ers

Also looking at the playoff picture I found out that all NFC South Teams are under .500.

And if the picture stays the way that it is right now, They would have to host Green Bay in the WC Round, A Red Hot Green Bay :laugh:

[Drew.]

Great stuff.. Big Cecil will be joining up with the team again for thanksgiving

Possible SB preview with Green Bay and New England today playing in the 2nd Game slot.

[MTVN]

Manziel has just scored his first NFL TD

[BBfanUSA]

They just mentioned that on the Baltimore/San Diego game. Flashed the highlight too. Went 3-4 passing, scored on a 10 yard rushing TD.

Any Reason why they're playing him and not Hoyer? Looked fine on the sideline.

[MTVN]

Any Reason why they're playing him and not Hoyer? Looked fine on the sideline.

Just has had a crap game I think, 2 INTs

[BBfanUSA]

Interesting,

It's amazing that they're 7-4 but still last in the AFC North. It's been an odd season.

They're tied with the other guys in the their division (Bengals and Steelers) but are last due to Tiebreakers. Bengals are 7-3-1 too. Only are leading because Tie equals half a win.

And then there's the NFC South, all teams are well under .500. Saints are looking like they could be the division leader after this week.

[BBfanUSA]

Sad News MTVN,

Manning's streak for a game with a TD Pass has ended this week.

[MTVN]

Yeah it's kinda a shame he didn't get the record being so close to it, in a way its good that our running game has been strong enough recently though that we don't need to rely on him so much, CJ is turning out to be a bit of a beast

Need about 30 points tonight from Rivers and Edelman to make my fantasy playoffs, hope we're in for a shootout here

[BBfanUSA]

I had Le'veon Bell today on my fantasy team.

Scored 41 fantasy points. Stunning. (3 Total TDs, 185 YDs)

Plus I have Aaron Rodgers as well, GB play the Falcons on Monday in GB. That's not going to go well.

[BBfanUSA]

Cam Newton got involved in a nasty car accident today. reportedly fractured two places in his back and this is similar to what Romo had earlier this year (didn't play for two weeks)

[MTVN]

Sky showing Bengals @ Browns, Johnny Football making his first start

[BBfanUSA]

Cutler benched, Jimmy Clausen will start this week for the Bears.

[BBfanUSA]

Two NFL games are being played tonight.

Also college fb bowl season starts today.
There's an actual playoff this year but only four teams made it.

[MTVN]

Dallas absolutely pounding on the Colts here, embarrassing for them. Dallas are legit SB contenders, fully expect them to get to at least the championship game and make it with homefield advantage

[BBfanUSA]

SB is in Arizona mate

[MTVN]

Talking about them having homefield advantage for the NFC championship game though

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah. Buuuuut there's a little problem.
They're 4-4 at home and undefeated on the road

[Roy Mars III]

Will you all bow down to my football knowledge now. I predicted this whole season from the very start.

Noon games are up and running. Don't think there's really any important ones yet.

Tomorrow is off season for most teams. Oakland is keeping their HC.
Jets are thinking of parting ways with Rex Ryan. Ryan's so sure of it, word is that he's packing up his office already.
49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh might be returning to Coach College FB, He and his wife are rumored to fly out to Ann Arbor, Michigan tomorrow to negotiate a deal with University of Michigan.

I saw a story in the USA Today about a couple of brits doing a college bowl tour too. Tailgating the whole way.

[BBfanUSA]

Aaron Rodgers won a game on one leg essentially.

MVP

[BBfanUSA]

Black Monday sackings.
Jets fired HC Rex Ryan and GM
Bears Fired HC Tressellman and GM

The Rose Bowl is happening right now.

[BBfanUSA]

WC Card Saturday is right now.

Arizona is playing at Carolina right now and Baltimore at Pittsburgh is tonight.

Tomorrow is Cincinnati at Indy and Lions at Dallas

[MTVN]

Got to feel sorry for the Cards, Lindley's performance last night was the worst I've ever seen from a QB. Really the whole game was near unwatchable with far too many flags and both teams being pretty sh*tty

[BBfanUSA]

Got to feel sorry for the Cards, Lindley's performance last night was the worst I've ever seen from a QB. Really the whole game was near unwatchable with far too many flags and both teams being pretty sh*tty

It's not the worst performance QB rating wise. Cutler scored a 2.8 against the Packers back in 2010. (The year they won it all I think)

Lindley had a 6.2

Still crappy though.

Also Suh is playing today, he somehow got away with attempting to hurt Aaron Rodgers.

[MTVN]

Of course the Lions win. I called it a long time ago. This is the Lions year, what a great time to be a fan.

Will be really interesting to see Romo play in Green Bay in January.

[BBfanUSA]

It's Oregon vs Ohio State in the National College Championship game.

Oregon being the higher seed (Yes they have a playoff this year) got to choose their color (White or whatever they damn well please since they play every game with a different color scheme.)
They chose white, this is what they'll be wearing next Monday

Shame Ravens couldn't make it and give us homefield advantage for the Championship game if we win tomorrow, we'll have to go to Boston now and don't fancy our chances of winning there. Mind you we'll probs **** it up tomorrow night anyway so it won't matter

[BBfanUSA]

Lang's a bloody idiot :bored:

[BBfanUSA]

TOUCHDOWN!

Had Lang not screwed that up for us. We'd be leading right now.

[BBfanUSA]

This game is getting very good.

Shame that the winner is going to job to Seattle.

[BBfanUSA]

Wow,

Can't help to think that call was Karma for last week. Green Bay could be sneaking away with this one.

[Drew.]

Cheeseheads!!!!!!!!

[BBfanUSA]

Wow, look at the flicked pass. Game is over. Green Bay is going to Seattle to play for the NFC Championship.

[MTVN]

We're going home

[MTVN]

Old man Manning has ****ed us

[BBfanUSA]

Well Manning has passed the torch to Luck again.

[MTVN]

He's done, and we're ****ed because we invested everything into this season

Christ the end to this season has been even more depressing than last year, at least then we had hope that we could come back stronger, we ain't gonna do that now

[Brother Leon]

What a beautiful Super Bowl Patriots Vs Seahawks would be.

[BBfanUSA]

Thoughts on The Call in the Packers/Cowboys game?

I think they made the right decision but it's such a dumb rule.

By the way, Aaron said on the Fox postshow that the refs did a great job today :laugh:

[MTVN]

We've fired our head coach John Fox. Looks like the Ravens OC Gary Kubiak is the favourite, he said the other day that he wasn't gonna leave Baltimore but he's good mates with Elway, has strong links to the Broncos and loves the area so it could easily tempt him

[BBfanUSA]

Atlanta's new stadium looks amazing. Look it up if you haven't yet. It's indoor but it has a great retractable roof.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said that owners don't have to get NFL's permission to relocate. (I haven't read the exact article yet, but I assume that it will get you kicked out if you do, since NFL told teams that no one is going to move to LA in 2015)

Bears are trying to get John Fox, could be the coach that they need. (I hope they don't, because Iowa State needs an actual coach that can recruit.)

St. Louis is looking at building an outdoor stadium in St. Louis. They have been speculated to move to LA in the past.

Ohio State won the College Football National Championship game this year over Oregon. This was the first playoff ever in NCAA FCS history and the first time in years that the final didn't include a team from the SEC Conference

[BBfanUSA]

John Fox to Chicago is official.

Jack Del Rio is now the Raiders coach.

[MTVN]

Good luck Raiders :fan: Foxy will do fine at the Bears

[BBfanUSA]

Winners picks for Tomorrow?

I'd pick Patriots and Seahawks.

Although I bet NFL is hoping SB is GB and Pats.

I want GB to win but Seattle's too damn good. Although I think GB is better than the week 1 matchup

[MTVN]

I think Packers-Pats SB but want it to be Pack-Indy

[Drew.]

Packers - Colts

[BBfanUSA]

Damn it's pretty loud.

Hopefully Green Bay puts an end to that quick.

[BBfanUSA]

Rodgers gets picked by Sherman in the End Zone. Couple plays later Ha Ha Clinton-Dix picks Wilson. LOL

Ha Ha is the best name ever.

[Drew.]

Ha Ha!!!!

[BBfanUSA]

LOL this Cam Newton Oikos ad.

Painfully obivious he was paid

[MTVN]

Y'all should have gone for it on 4th there

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay just got another chance to score a TD.

I'm loving this

[MTVN]

Oh wow they just got it back

[BBfanUSA]

Y'all should have gone for it on 4th there

We only had a 55 Percent Chance of scoring 7 compared to 100 Percent chance of 3 according to New York Times.
It's odd I know.

[BBfanUSA]

That was a perfect throw. FFS

[BBfanUSA]

By the way, I would rather they go for it but given the way Seattle's offense has been playing I'd take 3 points every time.

[Drew.]

Cobb!!!!!!!

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay finally finds the endzone properly 13-0 Green Bay Rodgers to Cobb

[MTVN]

Man 1st quarter and GB should really be 21-0 up already, crazy start

[BBfanUSA]

16-0 now. Hopefully Defense trucks over Seattle again

[BBfanUSA]

Ha Ha Clinton Pick

[BBfanUSA]

Rodgers Pick.

5th Turnover Overall in this game.

[BBfanUSA]

Wilson threw another pick Less than two minutes left in the half.

[BBfanUSA]

2nd half has been underway for a bit now. Teams have traded 4 and out drives but Seattle has begun a string of plays. But lost 14 yards on a sack.

[BBfanUSA]

Uh. Oh.

[MTVN]

That was a brave call

[BBfanUSA]

Looks like Seattle could be staging a comeback.

[MTVN]

Bloody hell they've just recovered the onside kick down by 5 with two minutes left

[MTVN]

That is unbelievable

Packers boss the whole game and then completely implode in the last two minutes and lose in OT, can't imagine how all their players and fans must be feeling

[MTVN]

Well I can actually because a similar last second **** up happened to us a couple of years ago against the Ravens

[Drew.]

****ing Seahawks

With any luck the Colts will win later, being an outsider to NFL that will at least give me a side to back in the Superbowl

[Brother Leon]

What a great game. Now lets go Pats and im happy with either Super Bowl winner.

[MTVN]

Colts getting mauled, Pats-Seahawks SB it is

Really don't like either team but think I'd actually prefer a Pats win, can't stand the thought of the Hawks winning two years in a row

[Brother Leon]

Two great teams in the Super Bowl. What a time to be alive.

[Drew.]

Will have to back the Pats then, not a fan of either team but I can't be doing with Seattle winning again

[BBfanUSA]

I know Coach McCarthy really screwed up but I really hope he's not sacked after that game.

Oh and the Broncos hired former Texans HC Gary Kubiak.

EDIT: apparently Patriots reportedly provided deflated FBs during the AFC Championship Game. This doesn't put their spot in the SB in jeopardy but they could lose draft picks. (Alot of people are saying this doesn't really affect the game if it's just a couple PSIs. I guess that's why they could be losing draft picks)

[Drew.]

Haven't been able to sign into the NFL UK forums for about 2 months now, turns out they updated the forum and loads of people were unable to sign back on :think: Anyway, i've finally got round to making a new account.. missed out on most of the season though.

[MTVN]

Yeah the site update on there was a joke, still haven't sorted all the problems with it and they did it before the season started I think

[Drew.]

Looks as though the gameday threads have about half as many posts compared to this time last year.. Terrible decision to update it. Was planning on getting more involved with the NFL this season and they bloody mess my account up.

[MTVN]

Yeah I post quite intermittently on there but it has felt a lot quieter in general, its the sort of forum I'll go through phases of posting loads on and then not visiting for ages especially during the off season. The off topic sections are decent on there though, the Premiership thread is pretty good. Have you settled on a favourite team yet?

[Drew.]

Yeah some of the sections/threads outside of the NFL discussions seem to be busy enough like the Football threads so i'll try and stick around and post a bit. Nah i haven't :laugh: It's a nightmare, when you've got so many teams to pick between it becomes nearly impossible. I've had it narrowed down to 4/5 teams all season though but still havent settled with one. I made a thread earlier on the forum asking for some advice on the teams.

[MTVN]

Ah yes King Riggins :douf: Yeah I'm glad I had the Broncos straight away, I've had it whenever I've tried to get into college football that none of the teams have felt right even when I've tried to stick with one for a while, the sort of thing you always just hope will eventually click. Good thing with the ones you've chosen there is that they're all solid franchises who should be competing over the next few years though. Maybe not the Texans lol but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for them being the newest team in the league while also being a historic football city when they used to have the Oilers

[Drew.]

Ah so you've already seen my thread then :pipe2: How did you end up picking the Broncos? And yeah, thats exactly it. I was expecting it to take a few matches to finally click & to settle down with one but we've gone through a whole season and i'm still undecided. I think it'll come down to the Packers, Ravens, Colts & maybe Dallas. I've pretty much managed to ruled out the 49ers, Texans & Bears after today. Dallas have grown on me quite a bit recently though.

[MTVN]

Colorado was just the one state I'd visited so I basically adopted all their teams from when I went there, didn't actually get into the NFL till a couple years later but had that connection there to fall back on. Dallas will always be an interesting team to support partly because they'll always be quite disliked by everyone else lol

[Drew.]

Ah, i think that's probably the best & easiest way to pick a team from a different country is if you've ever visited it before. Luckily you've ended up with a pretty good team. Think i'm going to have to find a website where you type in some words and it picks one out at random to finally pick one for me, there is no other option, i will still be in this position next year otherwise.

[Drew.]

Tickets available for Bills v Jags & Lions v Chiefs at Wenbley, will most likely get some, not sure which one though? I'm leaning more towards the Lions v Chiefs game although i think the Jags game may have the better atmosphere :think:

[MTVN]

I'd definitely go Lions-Chiefs if you can. The only thing the Jags has going for it really is that they've put in a lot of effort to establish a UK base so the Jags support should be pretty good but its a pretty uninspiring match up and there's always the chance of the Jags getting blown out. Lions and Chiefs should be a higher quality game with more star players down and they both have better fan bases if a lot of them make the trip

[Drew.]

Christ this could take a while to keep refreshing it until it gives me good seats, its frustrating that you can't pick your own and it only gives you the best available at the time you're searching. Will go for the Lions - Chiefs if i can get some good seats then.

[BBfanUSA]

Has yet to go to a NFL Game yet I've been to a College Football game.

[Drew.]

If any of you have Sky then i'd recommend watching A Football Life series on Demand. The Cleveland 95 one is brilliant, a great insight into what happens behind the scenes and it was interesting to see the controversial story behind the start of the Ravens.

[BBfanUSA]

Could be worse, The Colts snuck off to Indy in the dark of the night.

[MTVN]

Been meaning to watch some of those, heard they're really good

Pro Bowl tonight if anyone cares, fair few Broncos playing. The bloody NFLUK forum has been down for about two days though, knowing them it wont even be fixed by the Super Bowl
