Wooooo the Rams, can't wait to see how awful our offence (Bar the Godd) is over here.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

If you are going to do a Packers game then if possible save up and go to Lambeau. Even as a neutral Redskins fan it was a mental experience.

Good chance that we could get a double header. Can see us finishing third in our division and would probably take the Rams to finish in that spot in their's.

No such thing as a "neutral Redskins fan". They are all Chaotic Evil, obv.

Ah it's definitely on the list. Unfortunately long-term saving with two kids and mortgage is a bit tricky

When I go though, I'll probably want to do Lambeau one weekend, then a Packers bar when they're playing away the following/preceding week, with some time spent in Chicago inbetween. I've not thought about it that much though...

 

[Aberstone]

Yeah it's unlikely. As well as the reasons you say, Packers fans in the US are seemingly everywhere - there's always a vocal presence and cheers at every away game. Those teams that don't sell out know that hosting the Packers means they'll sell more tickets than a usual home game.

I suppose also, it's not like these IS games don't fill the rafters. Frankly, right now the NFL doesn't need a Packers game to put bums on seats in London either.

Steelers fans all over the US too and yet the Vikings gave up a home game which would have sold out... just playing devil's advocate to that theory.

We will take them down for you.

Big fan of the ticket information I got emailed.

'Premium/Club Wembley - January
Individual Tickets - January
Season Tickets - Soon'

That's not fucking information fellas.

 

[Kim Mitten]

So much for the claim a team would be here for 2 weeks in a row. Will only happen if the Redskins finish in the same position in the NFC East as the Rams in the NFC West.
Will try and get to two of these games, the one at Twickenham and the Bengals-Redskins game. I'll be interested to see what happens regards season tickets across both venues and seating arrangements.

Good evening of Football ahead, all three should be interesting games to watch. Love the Thanksgiving weekend.

On that note happy Butt Fumble day everyone.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

The name "Thanksgiving" derives from the gratitude Leon Lett felt upon realising that Sanchez's folly would at least partially distract from his own, earlier humiliation.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

That was a great DOINK noise

 

[kieran_vale]

Doink, just the kind of start Philly were looking for there.

Say what you will about Chip Kelly but he does stay true to his system regardless. Most would suggest DeMarco is best employed as a downhill runner but Chip knows different.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I've just stuffed myself with burgers, cheesecake and beer so my evening is going very well, just hope the Lions don't ruin it for me!

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Literally a walk-in touchdown. Very nice.

 

[kieran_vale]

Eagles just getting dominated so far. Think the only area they are competing is special teams. Think they were my tip for the division at the start of the year, so much for that.

I had them to win the conference

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

FLYYYY EAGLES FLYYYYYYYYY

 

[kieran_vale]

I had them to win the conference

Could be worse Bobbin, think I had the Ravens to represent the AFC in the Superbowl

You know it's bad though when the Lions running game is having it's way with you. And guess who decided to pick the Eagles D in Fantasy thinking it was a great match-up??

 

[TomPNE94]

Lions making this look easy. Done a treble of Lions, Panthers and Packers at about 3/1.

 

[Bobbin']

Philly bad on both sides of the ball, that last 3 and out was just terrible.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Perfect throw.

Well I liked it

I'm sure Dallas will do it better no?

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Some country singer called Luke Bryan. So, welp.

 

[kieran_vale]

This is one really sorry effort from Philly. Too many missed tackles. Look like they've given up.

 

[TomPNE94]

Cecil the chef, far better than that Lion c***

Rightly or wrongly can't see this being anything other Kelly's last season there. He's done a decent job previously but this has all the hallmarks of Andy Reids last season there. Suspect Kelly may be eyeing up the vacant Titans post so he can be reunited with Mariota. Either that or there will be some good college jobs for him.

 

[Kim Mitten]

things should never be this easy for the Lions on thanksgiving! yet more signs of some kind of coming apocalypse. Romo won't even need to beat the Panthers to cruise the Cowboys to the NFC LEast title.
