no redzone on sky tonight?

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 07:09 PM

Strange, there doesn't seem to be - maybe for the later games?

I'm VERY surprised at how the Wembley game is panning out - I felt sure that the Bucs would have won this without much issue today, particularly seeing as the Bears didn't arrive in London until Thursday night!

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 07:48 PM

*sigh* - Chargers toss away an 11 point lead over the Jests, who lead 24-21.

Houston are absolutely obliterating Tennessee!

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 07:55 PM

Bucs get it back to 21-18, having trailed 21-5 at one point!

Should be an interesting finish to the 4th quarter!

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 08:21 PM

Finals:

Houston Texans 41-7 Tennessee Titans
San Diego Chokers 21-27 New York Jets
Seattle Seahawks 3-6 Cleveland Browns (what a riveting game that must have been!)

Latest:

Denver Broncos 15-15 Miami Dolphins (in O/T)
Washington Redskins 20-33 Carolina Panthers
Kansas City Chiefs 7-0 Oakland Raiders
Pittsburgh Steelers 7-0 Arizona Cardinals
St Louis Rams 0-0 Dallas Cowgirls
Green Bay Packers 0-7 Minnesota Vikings

Tim Tebow working his magic for the Broncos...15-15 in OT...what a finish this is.

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 08:33 PM

Packers respond quickly. Rodgers throws to 6 different receivers in the drive to level the game! Unbelievable how many options the Packers have.

***Sylar*** · 23-10-2011 08:38 PM

What a comeback from the Broncos to win 18-15, from 15-0 down!

Miami are laughably bad this season - ALMOST as bad as the Colts

Lots of pundits are going to look really stupid over Tim Tebow. Boomer Esiason is a prime example. Its a peculiar kind of snobbery that says a scrambling quarterback cant be a NFL star. Fran Tarkenton had the same thing; hes a freak, he cant pass, hes not a team player etc etc. People started taking notice when he broke the alltime passing yardage records though. Theres a lot of early parallels between them IMO, although Tebow could probably have been a linebacker in those days hes so big and strong.

I like tebow, I think his attitude is spot on, there's no reason why he can't go on to be a good QB

62-7 is a mental score, just checked the Packers schedule, we dont have them this year

We have them on December 4th, when no doubt they'll pick up their first win

It's how we roll!

I'd also agree CFC - your time has run its course with the Maize and Blue

I'll drop mine when he does

Is that round about the time they expect Manning to be back?

I wouldn't think so - he had a cervical neck fusion surgery in September, which usually takes 2-3 months to recover from, so he'll be 2-3 months with no activity whatsoever - he'll require a rehab period and return to fitness, so hopefully, early December is a bridge too far for him.

I guess he'll have an army of medical experts and physios to help him though, so quite possibly, he might be back in time - If they keep up this current streak, the Colts will need to make a decision between bringing him back a bit quicker to stop this rot or, give him until the end of the regular season to fully recover, settle for worst-record and first round draft pick and look forward to having the first round draft player AND Manning ready to go next season!

I cant remember a season with so many emergency room teams. Colts, Dolphins, Rams, Cardinals, Vikings, Seahawks all barely breathing.

**CFC** · 25-10-2011 08:34 AM

Thats 2 defeatd in a row for Detroit then, Ill be interested to ser how they bounce back, I recall the Vikings missing the playoffs in 2003 having started the season 6-0.

Carson Palmers career ad a Raider starts off pretty poor throwing multiple piclks off the bench, they might regret trading high draft picks for him, lets see........once he gets rid of the rust

**CFC** · 25-10-2011 08:43 AM

Oh TSSF no danger that Manning comes back this season imo. They wont make the playoffs so it would be of no benefit to try and rush him back as far as I can gauge.

**Haymaker** · 26-10-2011 04:53 PM

It has been several days now... and 62-7 is still making me laugh!

***Sylar*** · 26-10-2011 05:22 PM

I see TO is on the lookout for a new club, having run a full practice in his hometown, inviting clubs to come and watch him.

Shame nobody turned up other than ESPN.

In all seriousness, I'd rather we had taken a shot on TO than Ocho - much more accomplished player with an equally big attitude problem. The Chad gamble isn't one that's worked in my eyes.

Happy boy this morning.

Off to San Francisco in December for a conference between the 2nd and 12th. Coincidentally, the 49'ers are at home to the Rams on the 4th. A quick glance at stub hub and I managed to get tickets for the 50 yard line, front row for $50 dollars through StubHub - tickets are printed and sitting next to me just now!

Stupid question but just how legit is this and how does it work? Looking at going over to the states and been looking at tickets and still don't get the print it yourself idea. Is that not open to counterfeit goods? and don't fancy going all that way when all I've got is a photo copy type thing

. Also because StubHub don't post to the UK do you need to give them these details or did you use family/friends?
