How many incompletions tonight? :confused:

Ah well, it isn't the super bowl and it isn't the Jessies. Win or lose, on the booze as they say!

After losing to the falcons which was a joke. The same time as Scotland were getting done by that diddy of a ref on the other tv I thought I was gonna have a mental breakdown.

"Reports: Adrian Peterson indicted
ESPN.com news services | September 12, 2014


Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted by a Montgomery County, Texas, grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child, multiple media reports are reporting.

The charges were confirmed by attorney Rusty Hardin, the reports said."

[Haymaker]

Where are you seeing that? ESPN and Google don't seem to have anything?

Was just rumour on twitter but now confirmed!

[SmithyHibee]

Peterson has been deactivated for Vikings game against the Pats on Sunday.

Looks pretty serious after seeing some of the photos in the report, especially with the claims of it being a 4 year old involved

Christ, I would hope that it's a misunderstanding of some sort - the Ray Rice story was bad enough but if this is also accurate, it's 2 big blows for the NFL...

Can't say I'm unhappy he won't be playing against us this week right enough but the circumstances are a bit ****.

[hibsbollah]

"He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas," said his attorney.

Leaving bruises on your kid without the mother's knowledge. Sounds like he could be in a lot of trouble legally.

Neither did I! I woke up in the middle of the night to get a drink and checked the score and it was 17-0 San Francisco - felt the fantasy team was going to slump to 1-1 for sure.

Jay Cutler pulled it out big time, with a little help from penalty after penalty after penalty against the 49ers! :greengrin

Huge mistake for us to let him go. I love what he can do. Watching him play live was incredible. Makes Ivan Sproule look slow.

That being said our main problem is still the D.

Lost by 2.02 points. And had plenty to on the bench. Again.

It's great fun, I think this is my 4th season watching it and I haven't picked a team. There are teams I like to watch like Oregon, LSU and Clemson but I tend to pick a team to win as per the game I'm watching. The standard is obviously lower than the nfl but that adds to the entertainment at times.

Sylar forgot we were playing yesterday so only seen the score this morning - Sylar has already given up this season :greengrin

Very much looking forward to Detroit vs Green Bay later - should be a good game!

[James.]

Some sad news this morning - Rob Bironas, the Titans' kicker last year, was killed in a car accident last night.

[Sylar]

Very sad indeed to read that - I suppose his passing might be marked tonight, in Cincinnati (where the Titans are playing) if not across the NFL?

[hibsbollah]

Seattle at Denver is absolutely huge, even at this stage of the season. Green Bay Detroit is usually exciting and San Diego Buffalo is an intriguing matchup, both teams look a lot better than predicted.

[lugz]

Can't wait for the 2 games tonight on sky, started watching redzone this season but not missing either of these (big for my FF).

Hoping the eagles can go 3-0, if the offense hit it off again can't see us losing.

[Calvin]

A great fixture list tonight, and obviously I can't wait for the Seattle game. So tempted to start Jermaine Kearse in my fantasy team tonight, think he could nab a touchdown.

[Gatecrasher]

I find it really hard to watch the build up on nfl network then turn it into sky's coverage, just 2 completely different styles.

Anyway here are we go :flag:

this overtime set up doesnt seem ideal to me, abit like the golden goal, 1st scores the winner, whats wrong with the tie? 1 point each is better than a loss in overtime, or is this a yankee thing where they must have a winner for the percentages :wink:
or is it half a point for a draw lol im forgetting the old set-up

They each get one possession in OT, unless the team with possession first scores a TD. It is exciting, but I agree that maybe a tie should be recognised.

Kyle Rudolph Vikings TE out for at least 6 weeks, dropping like flies this weekend

[hibsbollah]

Just watched the Jets Bears highlights, looks like the Jets were on the wrong end of some bad decisions. And in general the refs are penalising any sort of big hit, (on the Jets TD the Bears corner hits the receiver with the ball hard on the goalline in the chest area, which any good player does to stop a TD. The receiver breaks the goalline anyway and the refs throw a flag). 15 yard penalty for a nothing play. The 49ers game the other night was the same, it must be impossible to coach a defence these days. It's a contact sport FFS:na na:

That game was enought to make you sick.

Its a hard life being Hibs and Saints.

That fake punt call is still annoying me.

[Biggie]

Was at wembley yesterday and would just like to say what a great match day experience. Wembley is a great venue, and the yanks know how to entertain at games.
Thought the dolphins were miles ahead of the raidors.
All in all a great day out, and today I've been to Stamford Bridge, the emirates and upton park...'ave it.

Has it been announced who's on before that game? In the three I've been to I've seen Train, Tinie Tempah and Ne-Yo so not exactly tough acts to follow!

[Gatecrasher]

Pats got owned last night.

on a slightly related note, I have Alex Smith sitting on the bench putting up good numbers if someone has a spare RB that puts up good numbers?

I think I'm resigned to a disappointing year of NFL football as I didn't feel overly upset this morning seeing the score.

I genuinely expected decent things before the season got underway but we look so unconvincing that winning the division even looks questionable.

Good for him - there are some teams it can't be easy supporting in the NFL and I don't grudge any fanbase enjoying seeing their team do well - we follow the sport for those moments after all.

I've had my fair share of great moments following New England - this season isn't looking pretty early doors but it won't be anywhere near as bad as the first year I start following us!

Its a strange season. For me the saints being so poor to begin has effected me to an extent but I wonder how much the off field stuff has got to people.

I mean last nights game was Rodgers and Lacy v Ponder and Asiata when it could have been Cassell/Bridgewater and AP.

Alot of the big games on tv have been huge blowouts too.

I benched Brady for Bridgewater last week. That was a good move but then Teddy got injured. I still don't like Brady and our O-Line so I picked up the Rams QB. Austin Davis I think his name is. Speaks volumes about how far we've dropped when I'm considering a rookie QB over Brady. I don't know anything about Davis, he might be a 100-year old veteran.

The thing that stood out from the highlights was how the Pack O Line just dominated the defense. Powderpuff front seven for the Vikings. And Lacy looks like a runaway train. Cant believe that trade you pulled off :grr: :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

Just finished watching it and I was a bit worried coming into the game about the way the Vikings offence handled Atlanta. I'm sure bridgewater being missing has some bearing but I thought the Packers looked really good on both sides. Lacy looks back to his old self and just looks brutal when someone tries to tackle him. I think it's Miami next!

ps. Rodgers missing the 4th quarter cost me some much needed fantasy points.

Just saw no.2 Oregon lost to unranked Arizona last night

I'm not worried, he was just being kept out as a precaution since he's the man going forward. He's tough as nails. Have you read about the injuries the guy played through in college?

I can understand this, the England team is not attracting fans to the games (friends of mine offered me 9 - yes 9 - free tickets to San Marino. So long as I punched them all through they got their points for the big games, home is now more points than away) 3 NFL games are practically sold out. Add in that it is around 4 hours per game, beer can be sold and consumed in the seats plus extra food...

If an NFL team played all their home games in London and could attract 70k+ per game, it makes sense for the bean counters at Wembley (and believe me from working with/for them that is all they are interested in) to ditch England and accept the NFL.

Could a franchise keep up those numbers? I don't believe so. However I feel it is no co-incidence that the Jags owner bought Fulham and the Rams owner is the majority shareholder in Arsenal. A franchise IS coming, no doubt in my mind, however it remains to be seen if people will back 8+ games a season at 70k+ levels.

I agree yet I find it no co-incidence that the Jags bought Fulham. A franchise will fill 30,000 per week in the long run, not 70k+.

It is coming, If they wanted one in Germany then they would be playing games there no?

I think it'll happen but would never change my team. I'd use it like the current games to pick and choose which teams i see. Would love to see the eagles over here for a game.

[DH1875]

Don't think it would work. You need to take into account that most fans who go to the games don't live in London. There's 1000s of fans who travel from all over Europe who attend. Are they gonna travel for every home game? Forget the likes of Barcelona and Berlin. How many folks are gonna travel from Glasgow and Edinburgh every game? Also, all these fans already follow a team. If that team is one of the 8 teams coming over then is it not likely that that's the game their gonna plump for and make a weekend off? Reckon any team would be in an eastern division. That would mean playing the likes of either us or the giants, the eagles or the steelers, the fish or the patsies. I know what game I'd be going to and I wouldn't be waving a union jack at it. Which is another thing. Call it english, london anything and you've lost half your target fan base.

Fair comment DH. At the minute, I can freely say I would go and watch the games as a fan of the game and regular NFL is something I would cherish.

However, I say that from the luxury of being 40 miles out of London right now where getting to Wembley is easy. Chances are, future employment will take my back to Scotland and I wouldn't then make the trip for every game down here. I'd be selective and come down when New England visited or a decent, exciting team such as the Seahawks or Packers were here.

I think, however (and this isn't aimed at you) the use of the 'failure of NFL Europe' as a strong argument for why a regular NFL presence wouldn't work is silly. The NFL Europe tried to overexpand in an era when the NFL didn't receive regular, excellent coverage like it does now. The number of fans of the sport across Europe continues to grow and I do think fans of the existing NFL teams combined with those who would love to support a 'home' team would result in the stadium being full or nearly full on a bi-weekly basis. They would perhaps need to revise the pricing right enough as people aren't going to pay NFL season ticket prices for just 8 events - eventually that novelty would wear off and it will become like any other sport where the uniqueness of the event becomes subsumed by its regularity.

:agree: This is why I think the Jags owner bought Fulham, smaller venue and easier to fill in the event of his franchise moving to London.

I agree with Scotts point, I would go every week to the London team however I live 5 miles or so from the boundary of London so it is easy for me to do so, however I completely understand why you may not be able to do the same. This again returns to the smaller stadium argument, in the event of a franchise move the demand will be lower for the 8 games than currently.

However, fans from Barcelona could commute to every game, I read an article about a guy who rented in BCN and flew every day on easy Jet for his 6 month placement in London as it was cheaper! :greengrin

[DH1875]

So you guys wouldn't go every week if you were still staying in Dundee or Musselburgh :)
Not to sure about the fulham link either. What does craven cottage hold? Doubt its 30k but even if it is, why would the nfl sanction a team to play there. Its a dump for a start. Wouldn't look good on broadcasts back to the US at all. Then there's the 30k fans angle. Surely the nfl would want a team who can attract way more than that. Plenty of places in the US where they could form a franchise and get way more. Also got to figure that Toronto (maybe the bills won't like that) or mexico city could be in with a shout?

[Haymaker]

Nope, if I wasn't near I wouldn't go so much. Pick and choose.

Fulham is a dump nowadays but could be an easy option until either the Olympic Park or Wembley were more viable?

Or Khan has it that they would get funding for a new stadium to share between Fulham and the NFL franchise. Personally I see that as being the most likely option - why would a self made billionaire business man buy a football club with a ***** stadium when a club in the same city is getting a state of the art stadium for basically free?

[lugz]

If it was to happen I'd love to get a ST but don't know if it would be financially feasible.

I want to see all 32 teams play but again that'll be hard (after oct game I'll have seen 10) Anyone seen more or even all 32?

I wouldn't, no. Tickets will still be £35 at cheapest per game and then you'd factor in the cost of travelling down to London and back for every other game...financially, for me, it wouldn't be doable.

I do reckon that there's enough interest around the London area and parts of the UK where it's easier/cheaper to get to London who would result in near sell-outs on a weekly basis.

Imagine for example if there were a run of games that included Green Bay, Seattle, New York Jets, New England, New Orleans, Philadelphia...

Fans of all of those teams would scramble for tickets in addition to those who would adopt the new UK team. Maybe becomes a bit harder when fixtures begin to have lesser supported teams such as the Rams, Jaguars, Bucs or Texans...

You dirty, jammy, yam ****s. Heart break yet again for the gang green. Pretty gutted to be honest. We could have, should have won that. What about that kitty O? Still not sold on Geno Smith but at least our backs looked good. Our season is over so hopefully the preasure is off a bit on Smith but time will tell. Same goes with Rex. I like him and would like him to stay. Take away his tools and what's the guy to do. Think he will be off at the end of the season though :(

I blame the fixture list. What a crappy start to a season for anyone.

Rant over.

I didnt watch it but looking at the stat lines you dominated the game. That will be the end for Rex.

No arguments whatsoever - thought we were lucky in the end and I would have had no complaints had that FG attempt sailed through.

I thought we started very well but in typical Patriot fashion, we slipped into abysmal before too long and your running game ripped us to bits.

No gloating either as I fully understand how hard that must have been to take - relief is an understatement!

Last night only furthers my opinion that the Jets are the Hibs of the NFL.
