American Football

[.V.]

My first time watching football on the west coast today. This is strange.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Bristol?

 

[.V.]

No such luck I'm afraid. Las Vegas today.

 

[Bobbin']

The Texans took a real hiding off this awful Miami team

 

[kieran_vale]

This Saints D is probably one of the most pathetic sights I've ever seen.

 

[kieran_vale]

Having the ball at the half yard line, giving up 2 penalties then a sack to put back to near the 25 yard line is the most Cleveland thing I've seen.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

for fucks sake

 

[Bobbin']

Mark Sanchez

 

[Aberstone]

This game should actually be a lot closer than the scoreline suggests, Travis Benjamin has dropped a couple of TD's for the Browns.

 

[kieran_vale]

Yes Jags!! Playoffs are on for them.

 

[Aberstone]

That they beat the Ravens makes it all the more sweeter. The Ravens should be 1-8 now.

 

[Bobbin']

Yes Jags!! Playoffs are on for them.

 

[Anon]

Haven't been able to watch tonight, but what the hell is happening. This ain't right, ain't right at all...

 

[kieran_vale]

Well that didn't take Peyton long.

Fuck me Green Bay look like they may get away with this. 2 missed PAT's against them and now recover the onside kick.

 

[Bobbin']

Packers recover onside kick. What an ending.

 

[Anon]

This ending is mental. Randall, I'm in love with you. GO PACK.

 

[.V.]

What is going on in GB???

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Bad football teams will always find a way to lose, as Jeff Goldbum said in Jurassic Park.

 

[Bobbin']

Close but no cigar

 

[kieran_vale]

Well Lions win it, that was somewhat more nervy than it should have been for them to say the least.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Haha. Maybe not always.

 

[Anon]

Oooof. On paper we're a better team than last season. Three losses on the trot now.

Not time to panic, but, @ the Vikings next week. Huge.

 

[kieran_vale]

Kyle Rudolph with the greatest case of Aligator arms ever trying to catch that.

Nice start for the Pats. Moved it quite nicely on the Giants there.

 

[kieran_vale]

Please tell me they have not actually stopped the game for Peyton on this. Wonderful achievement but...

 

[kieran_vale]

Fuck me, what is it about Eli against the Pats that turns him into the GOAT??

 

[Kim Mitten]

What the fuck just happened!!!! I'm dreaming, I have never witnessed the Lions win at Green Bay - 24 years, regardless of how the Lions had done before, after, better team etc etc they ALWAYS lose in Green Bay. Now a team that has been rivaling the 0-16 team for the ineptness of displays goes and pulls that out of the bag. The run D was epic, even better than last season when it was the best unit in the league, both teams played good D - both O gave up way to early and easy on the run.
If the Packers get anywhere near the Superbowl the rest of the NFL should be embarrassed, Vikings favourites for NFC North for me. By no means did the Lions play well - and Prater! makes a 49 and 51 yard FG then MISSES two pats!! even one of them would have meant that ending was null and void.
The bad news tonight is that with that win and the Lions strength of schedule they have just moved from #1 pick right down to #6

 

[Mr Elmo]

Only the 37 points conceded to the Bears, not bad.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Not sure this is the historic, record-breaking night Peyton Manning had in mind.......

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Focking hell they have benched him.

 

[RavenBish]

Peyton is doooooonnnnnneeeeeeee
