NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[Grumpster]

This is great and some defence these fuckers have got.

[zebthecat]

This isn't going to script. Unless the Patriots can shut down the run they are fucked.

[Takashi Miike]

battering ram :.)

[Takashi Miike]

Bortles looking very comfortable early on :.)

[Grumpster]

"Yeah a bastard kick off forbthe late game, as I know I'll watch it all even though I'm in the 6.09 train in the morning!!! Undecided on where my fiver is going in the late game, but have done cooks in the first."

[Far Cough]

Haha

[Hermit Road]

Just had a pre-game on Madden. 0-41 to the Birds in the 3rd and the other geezer quit. Good omen.

[Far Cough]

Fucking late game for the Eagles v Vikings

[Takashi Miike]

"I hope not, I want a good Superbowl. Vikings v Patriots will deliver that"

[the coming of gary]

still on for a Jaguars v Eagles Superbowl - which is the game in London in October .

[Far Cough]

Didn't know Madden was a Minnesota man?

[Takashi Miike]

"haha, yes and Madden denies knowing anything about it :.)"

[El Scorchio]

"Is that the one when they talk about plaster casts during/before the game? Sly, sly tactics."

[Far Cough]

I love John Madden

[Takashi Miike]

"a brilliant documentary on the sky schedules is 'America's Game : The 1976 Raiders', its superb. what a team that was led by Madden :.)"

[ironsofcanada]

Anybody but Brady.

[Far Cough]

"It's the year of the back up QBs, one will win the big dance, sorry Brady :-)"

[kylay]

"Bortles, Keenum, Foles. Brady notwithstanding, modern playoff football is shit."

[Takashi Miike]

"if that's the case, Forbath would have had a long FG chance to win, and knowing Forbath from his time with my team, the cսnt would have missed and the Saints would be one game away from the big show"

[crystal falace]

"Juan't make it up, not only does he completely miss the tackle but also took out the only defender who may have been able to stop diggs. 2 great games yesterday, the way Bortles played against a decent steeler's defence does have me a little nervous as that defence could really slow Brady down. Just can't see him doing it 1 weeks in a row when the lights get even brighter"

[claret on my shirt]

"Takashi Miike 12:36 Mon Jan 15 The game can not finish on a defensive penalty, so 1 more play would have been available."

[ironsofcanada]

I believe its an untimed play.

[El Scorchio]

"Takashi Miike 12:36 I believe the game can't end on a defensive penalty. I don't know what they do clock wise, though. Probably put a second back on or allow one more play with the clock at zero."

[Far Cough]

The Purple People Eaters were a bit before my time but I've heard a lot about them The Vikings have been to 4 Super Bowls and bridesmaid in each one

[ironsofcanada]

"Far Cough 12:44 Mon Jan 15 Yes, I guess we can agree they both made bone head deals. I guess I would say Saints were the 'Aints almost Cleveland Brown levels a lot of the time pre Payton/Brees and never saw the Minnesota as awful. Saints had nothing like the Purple People Eaters. As I said last night, good luck to them hosting and winning it all. I have nothing against them. Great team, though the quarterback looked very rattled in certain throws and if another team push them, he will have to address that."
