[Gatecrasher]

I feel i dont know the teams very well but i will be biased go for The Packers making the superbowl

dont know about the NCAA though :hmmm:

[DarrenSQH]

Huge saints fan. I leave for new Orleans to see them drop the championship flag at the dome next Saturday. Heading over for a week and game is on the Thursday night.

Couldn't be more excited.

As do the playoffs it's too early to tell but the usual suspects will no doubt be there like new England and the colts.

I think we have a good chance to do it all over again this year as think we may only have gotten better during the off season. Can't wait to go over and see us beat the Vikings and favre again.

Do you think Favre will be 1 season too many?

[Sylar]

REALLY excited about both starting, but more so (as usual) about the NCAA.

The Gators/Crimson Tide/Tigers/Buckeyes will all be undoubted favourites to take the national championship this year, though Florida will be a VERY different side without Tebow.

I don't expect us (Michigan) to have a great year, though I do expect better than last year. Going to the Big House NEXT season to see the Michigan vs Ohio State game, which will be EPIC!

As for the NFL - I'm originally from Newport, RI., so I'm a HUGE New England fan. I can't see us winning anything this season, though as ever, I would at least expect us to win division. Not quite sure who I fancy this season for the Superbowl. The usual suspects will be around (Colts, Giants, Chargers, Steelers, Pats), but I can't see the Saints repeating their feat again this year.

[DH1875]

There is nothing better than NCAA. If you can get into it then stick with it. Tops the NFL by some and more. It can be quite hard to follow though as there are that many divisons and the way they work out the eventual winners can be very confusing. Not sure if allowed to premote but get your self over to nfluk.com. Loads of info regarding all things american football and the forum is great. Got a whole section covering the NCAA and you will be made more than welcome.
ESPN have got MNF this year which is great news and they also cover the ncaa, showing a lot of their games.
If you looking for a NCAA team to follow give us your criteria and we will point you in the right direction:thumbsup:.
As for the Superbowl you will be hard prest to see past the Jets/Ravens in the AFC and in the NFC you looking at the Packers and maybe the Saints.
If your looking for a long shot go for the Cardinals.
Can't wait for the season to start and just putting the Jets game on the now:greengrin.

Does anyone on here play the fantasy football?

College wise, I am following NC State because my friend goes there. I am looking forward to seeing some good college ball this year.

NFL wise... I am not sure our boys (the Pats) will do well this year Scott, Miami have improved and the Jets have made some top signings and had a decent defense last year... It is going to be alot tougher than previous years.

I quite fancy the Ravens to go all the way this year... Although I hope Brady takes us all the way again...

I'm a little unsure myself to be honest. We didn't benefit from the return of Brady last year, as he still looked a little defensive on his knee. However, we've made some good acquisitions in the draft and haven't lost any MAJOR players.

The Jets have been here before - they make a habit of signing big names who fail to cut the mustard. Having said that, I do think Tomlinson and Taylor will be big signings for them.

I don't think we'll finish bottom of the division - if we can get Brady working early on and the new defensive line gels quickly enough, we could have a very solid season.

Only time will tell though - our pre-season hasn't been a disaster, with us chalking up wins vs the Saints (in Foxborough) and crushing the Falcons in Atlanta. We narrowly lost to the Cards at home, but by 1 point, in what was a high scoring affair.

Our key problem in pre-season has been the number of 1st downs we've been giving up!

Very true Scott. Very True.

Season is just around the corner, got beers and munch in the house ready for KO!

[Sylar]

Can't wait for Saturday!

ESPN America is featuring 3 games from the opening day of the NCAA College season:

5pm: Miami (OH) vs Florida Gators - be very interesting to see how Florida do without their star QB, Tebow, who's moved onto bigger and better things in the NFL.

8pm: Connecticut vs Michigan! - not often we actually feature these days, following some very poor seasons back to back, but we kick the season off at home in the Big House vs a very strong looking Huskies organisation. I fully expect to see us have a mediocre season, culminating in a defeat at Ohio State, but hopefully we can have one televised win!

1am: Oregon State vs TCU - I have a very close friend and some research colleagues at OSU, so if I'm still awake enough, I'll stay up and watch the Beavers open their season against the TCU Horned Frogs (only Texans...)

What are the NFL games on Sunday

NFL doesn't kick off till next week. Sky got Vikings v Saints a week tomorrow to kick it all of. They showing Panthers v Giants and 49ERS V Seahawks on the Sunday.
ESPN have the big game of the week Ravens V Jets on the Monday.
There is nothing fixed yet for SNF which channel five had but I'm told there could be something in the running. If I hear anything will post it.

Think the next week could drag in until I'm at the superdome.

[Sylar]

Have spent the evening watching Remember the Titans, We Are Marshall and Any Given Sunday and am properly pumped up to watch the Wolverines take on the Huskies tomorrow.

Go BLUE!

[Just Jimmy]

Massive Giants fan, can't see us doing anything at all this year tho. I think Baltimore will win it all. They added where they needed in the close season and well...that defence.

[DH1875]

What's everyones thoughts regarding the Revis situation. It really looks like we won't be seeing him this season, which is a shame as he is a great player. Can you imagine if a Hibs player was acting like that.

[Gatecrasher]

Gators look pish :tee hee:

[Sylar]

Gators look pish :tee hee:

They're certainly struggling to get any offense going, though I don't think Brantley is to blame - he looks very comfortable at the QB - Pouncey just cannot snap the ball properly - he's to eager to stand upright and block, so he's continually throwing it low!

They don't look themselves, but you can see why they're ranked 4 - clinical when the opportunities present themselves.

Miami (OH) don't look bad - their offense has cost them the 3 scores they're currently down more than their defense. Good field position here in the middle of the 3rd, but Florida's defense look solid.

[Sylar]

Samford 3-42 Florida State
Yougstown State 7-30 Penn State
Miami (OH) 9-21 Florida
Eastern Illinois 7-30 Iowa
La Lafayette 7-31 Georgia
South Caroline State 3-20 Georgia Tech
Western Michigan 13-35 Michigan State
Weber State 10-21 Boston College

On Thursday night there were also a few games - not sure why the OSU vs Marshall game or the USC vs Hawaii games weren't broadcast, as they were both on ESPN.

Anyway:

Ohio State 45-7 Marshall
Florida A&M 0-45 Miami (FL)
USC 49-36 Hawaii
Pittsburgh 24-27 Utah

[Sylar]

Jeffrey Demps - wow, this boy is rediculously fast!

TD Florida, who now lead 27-12.

The inability to snap the ball continues to haunt them though!

[Sylar]

Florida win 34-12 in the end.

New centre required, as Pouncey is utterly woeful!

[Sylar]

As usual, an electric atmosphere in the BIGGER House! 109k people packed into Ann Arbor!

Yes and no actually. We look a LOT better than last year, but the latter part of the 2nd quarter gives cause for concern.

Our offensive line is a fantastic looking unit and Robinson/Shaw have had a superb game thus far.

Hoping we can tighten up our defense a little in the second half, but overall, quite proud of them thus far!

I did read your post just after you submitted it, but knowing Michigan and Rodriguez' record in Ann Arbor in recent years, I felt it best to wait til half time to reply, so my over-excited state of mind at 21-0 wouldn't come back and bite me in the ass.

As we're a minute and thirty away from the end, I've been delighted with out opening day performance. Superb offense, solid defense (aided by the amount of time the offense maintained possession), good clock management and an astonishing rate of 3rd down completions.

A strong offense will properly test us later in the sense, as there ARE obvious weaknesses, but I'm happy to have seen us win, as no doubt this will be one of only 2 televised games (unless they show the Michigan State or Iowa game), with Ohio State being the other, and that's not likely to be pretty in Columbus.

Record breaking attendence (113k), school record breaking QB rushing yards and a 20 point margin - can't ask for much more on opening day! :greengrin:thumbsup:

No real shock at all to be honest. Boise State aren't ranked 3 in the nation for no reason.

It was a really good game actually, despite a very one-sided first quarter!

Thought they looked pretty good to be honest - they handled the VT offense quite well, so they won't come up against MUCH better, save one or two ties.

Thankfully all sorted now :thumbsup:

Feeling confident this season about the Jets with Rex Ryan at the helm, the Revis situation sorted and Sanchez going into his second year - should be enough to hold off the Dolphins for the division. Roll on Monday.

Great news about Revis. Not sure about Sanchez though. Have you been watching Hard Knocks? That and pre-season do not fill me with confidence regarding him. We will know within the next 3 weeks if we have a chance of making it. 3 hard, hard games to start the season.
Anyone going to try and make it through the night tonight. 1.30 kick-off for first game of the season, not happy.

No but I'm desperate to see it - where did you mange to catch it? Saw a few clips online, quite liked the quote from Sanchez about the Jets being a quarterback away from a Superbowl winning team :greengrin To be honest, I think he'll do fine this season - his confidence coupled with his postseason performances last year show that he'll probably be able to cope with the pressure. I don't think Ryan will let him throw too much to be honest.

Ach, It was only banter - it's a common Michigan phrase though in Ann Arbor - "you can't spell cock sucker without OSU - I certainly didn't create it! :greengrin

If you're a proper OSU fan, you should know that the rivarly is more fierce than anything in Scottish Football! It's a healthy banterous rivalry as far as I'm concerned though :wink:

Some TD OSU just scored to tie the game - 67 yard reception - brilliant!

Don't worry, you can rip away on November 26th when we visit Columbus!

Miami aren't ranked 12 for no reason - they looked very comfortable in their opener last week and they're holding their own against a powerful Ohio State lineup. Pryor has been pretty ineffective thus far, which is crucial, as he's a HUGE player for the Bucks.

Michigan lead 21-7 at the half, after The Irish waste a first and goal with 3 seconds to go.

Benjamin is having an MVP game and there's only 6 in it.

Amazing how one player has sparked Notre Dame into life. 2 failed drives for us in the opening of the 3rd, whilst Notre Dame have forced a TD and have the ball again.

We're struggling to get going again!

Ohio State pick-off a 3rd and goal and return it to the Miami 25.

BIG mistake on the pass.

Regardless to the outcome of this game, the Michigan vs Notre Dame game has been brilliant!

20 seconds to go and Michigan lead 28-24. ND have the ball on their own 26th...

Michigan 28-24 Notre Dame: Final

Notre Dame took the lead with 3 minutes remaining, before our sensational QB Denard Robinson took us on a 76 yard drive to take the lead with 20 seconds remaining.

Blistering opening drive from the Patriots, as Welker drives over for the opening TD!

Sensational pass from Brady to Hernandez to get the ball right the way down to the Bengals 14, before Welker completes.

Baltimore Ravens 10-9 New York Jets

Just back from new Orleans and the superdome. Was an amazing trip. New Orleans is the best place I think I have ever been. Loved it.

The superdome is amazing and so load. Hoping to go back again.

I was fortunate enough to be there pre-Katrina, in 2002 when the Patriots won the superbowl.

Awesome experience and agreed, a stunning venue.

[DH1875]

Do you think Favre will be 1 season too many?

Said at the time it was a bad move and going by what I saw the other night I stand by it.


Thankfully all sorted now :thumbsup:

Feeling confident this season about the Jets with Rex Ryan at the helm, the Revis situation sorted and Sanchez going into his second year - should be enough to hold off the Dolphins for the division. Roll on Monday.

What I tell you about Sanchez :grr:. Our O was horrible last night. 6 first downs in the whole game, not good enough. If we keep playing like that we will be lucky to come 3rd in the east let alone make a push for the big one.
Couldn't believe the calls made on our last set of downs last night.



No but I don't think Ryan will let him throw too much to be honest.

I wouldn't let him throw it either, but we don't look like we've got much of a running game. Greene is awful and still can't believe we let Jones go.

Did anyone watch the Chiefs game? Got to say I thought they looked quite good.

That was painful to watch. Sanchez was horrific, offense was horrific, defense couldn't get off the field - nothing else to add.

whats the NCAA and NFL tv games this weekend?

[DH1875]

Think this is right but best to check on the safe side.

NFL
Sunday, Sky = Bears@ Cowboys followed by Patriots @ JETS:thumbsup:.
Channel 4 got SNF= Colts @ Giants.
Espn MNF = Saints @ 49ERS.

NCAA
Think Kansas @ S.Miss is on tonight. Be about 12, 1 o'clock.
Saturday you got Arkansas @ Georgia, Florida @ Tennessee and Texas @ Texas Tech.
Not 100% on this but think there is a rerun of the Notre Dame @ Michigan State game on Sunday morning. (game might also be on eurosport live).
NCAA games are mostly on ESPN america.

Will probably do what I done last week and watch the Michigan game via an online stream and have the Florida @ Tennessee game on ESPN America.

Mixed feelings about the Sunday - We looked sh*t hot against Cincinnati last week, whilst the Jets looked absolutely pitiful against the Ravens. Hopefully we can do the business, but it's a big ask in the Meadowlands, even against Sanchez.

Looking forward to it and worrying about it in equal measures!

Edit: Bah, the Michigan game is on the Big Ten network, meaning it's unlikely to be streamed anywhere. Can't see it on adthe.net, which is a sodding nuisance - however, they updated their schedule throughout the day, so hopefully it'll appear later!

[James.]

Have you watched hardknocks yet? Let me know your thoughts on Sanchez once you see eps5. All is not lost as he could have a role yet :thumbsup:.

Watched all five episodes in one evening. Loved it from start to finish. Kris Jenkins was fast becoming my favourite Jet throughout the show so a bit gutting that he's probably done now! Sanchez was eerily spot on telling Schottenheimer that he must really suck at his job :agree: Hopefully we can beat the Brady Bunch this weekend.

[Sylar]

Michigan (now ranked 20th in the NCAA) are cruising to a comfortable victory over the University of Massachusetts, currently up 35-17.

Denard Robinson continues his sensational Heisman quality performances, rushing for 100 yards and passing for 241 in the middle of the 3rd!

Brilliant!

On another note, Ohio State are destroying Ohio and Virginia Tech are being embarrassed by East Carolina.

[Sylar]

Michigan 42-35 Massachusetts

Absolutely superb start, as the Wolverines are now 3-0.

Arkansas edged out Georgia in what was a brilliant game - I said to my other half, just before Georgia tied the game, that they had done so too quickly, and that Arkansas would win in the end.

Looking forward to seeing Florida @ Tennessee next - hopefully the Gators can continue the good start to the season!

Hope so. Looking like a must win game already. Don't fancy going against the Dolphins next week looking at 0-3. Lose that and our season could be over before we even get to October :grr:.

[Gatecrasher]

lambeau leaps all round as the pack blow the bills away :greengrin

[Sylar]

Pretty well balanced first half of football in the New Meadowlands, with the Patriots leading 14-10 at the half.

Sanchez looks a lot better than last week, but his offensive line let him down in the early part of the half, with only 3 snaps taken during the 1st quarter. He also rallied well to get them into field goal range just as the half expired, to keep them in the game.

I'm FAIRLY happy with how we're playing. Brady has looked comfortable, with Volmer and Faulk providing some very good coverage. His passing has looked very comfortable and he's changed plays well at the line. The pass to Moss for the TD was absolutely brilliant, not to mention the catch from Moss - one handed over the head of the ever-arrogant Revis.

Hopefully we can improve on our second half from last week and edge this out. It would be nice to host the Bills next week at 2-0 but the Jets are playing some nice stuff thus far.

[Sylar]

Hats off to the Jets - they've played a brilliant second half thus far! :agree:

Our inability to play football for 4 quarters continues.

[Sylar]

Game over with such an easy TD, middle of the 4th.

Utter dross second half. AGAIN!

Well played Jets - well deserving of the win. They actually looked a much better side WITHOUT Revis, as the coverage on Moss was vastly improved after the restart.

Hopefully we'll take revenge in Foxborough later this year, but the better team definitely won this matchup.

[DH1875]

Hard earned victory for the pack last night, Vick caused some problems in the final quarter,

Always thought Vick was a great player. Real pitty about his off-field anticts as he could have been a star. Do you think he will start next week once Kolb returns?




Denard Robinson continues his sensational Heisman quality performances, rushing for 100 yards and passing for 241 in the middle of the 3rd!

:agree::agree::agree: Robinson is awsome and looks like a real star in the making. He's no Terrelle Pryor though:wink:.

Remember there's a reason that Kyle Wilson was our 1st draft pick this year. As for Revis, we went through the whole of pre-season without him so while it was a suprise it wasn't a huge one. Got to say the 1 handed catch Moss made for the TD was great play.
If I'm honest the Pats should have had the game done and dusted end of first quarter. Rem they missed a field goal and should have been 10 points up. We only had one set of downs, Sanchez's first play was almost picked and we had the ball for a grand total of 1min 2 seconds. Add all that to last week and you would never have thought the Jets O had it in them. Got to say I was surprised at how well Sanchez turned it around and he played great but what about LT. He has been amazing since he came to us and Chargers fans must be pig sick. If he keeps it up all season he is on course for the Pro bowl and maybe even the leagues mvp. You'd have never have thought that. Oh, and remember people we still got Holmes to come back in a couple of weeks.

What about them Dolphins though:grr:.

[DH1875]

Did you get a stream for the game? Who do you use? For future ref if your struggling there's a few I use to watch the games and if you don't mind a bit of Spanish the odd game, I'm sure we can fix you up for the rest of the season.


On another note, Ohio State are destroying Ohio

This was the most pleasing aspect of the game for me. He's got the attitude and confidence to handle that pressure at such a young age. Holmes was looking as good as LT preseason so will be good to have another weapon on the offense.

Looks like Revis out for at least two games :boo hoo: but still have to be confident with Cromartie and Wilson.

[Gatecrasher]

Always thought Vick was a great player. Real pitty about his off-field anticts as he could have been a star. Do you think he will start next week once Kolb returns?


Dont know TBH

Vick would be a quick fix but Kolb would only get better with game time. But Vick can run :greengrin

[Sylar]

I have to say, it's refreshing to have 2 Jets fans posting on here who haven't given me an absolutely doing because you beat us! Cheers! :greengrin

DH - I've used adthe.net the last few weeks - the games have been proper high quality streams, which have been brilliant. Couldn't find anything on Saturday though, as the Big Ten Network is an internet based streaming site, which requires a subscription - don't think the game was being shown anywhere else.

I don't mind not seeing our every game - so long as there's a decent game on ESPN as an alternative - the Florida @ Tennessee game was a good alternative :agree:

Bobcats mascot rocks! :greengrin

[Sylar]

Very sad to read that Broncos WR Kenny McKinley has been found dead at his home in Colorado, through a suspected self-inflicted gun-shot wound.

He looked a great prospect with them last season, playing a few times as a rookie, but he was injured and placed on their reserve back in December.

He was only 23 - tragic.

Awesome :yawn: (not aimed at you, but the fact) - Sky Sports seem to go through phases with various teams. Last season, it was the Cowboys and Giants, this year it seems to be the Jets and Saints. Good for those who follow them, a nonsense for those of us who despise them!

I think the Patriots will get another 2 - vs the Dolphins and vs the Colts. If they DON'T show those games, I'll go spare.

He'll be back next week - just a twisted knee in the second - he was back on his feet and walking around the line with a headset on through the second and said he was fine when interviewed at the end of the game. Forcier getting hurt as well was a bit of a blow, but he also didn't seem too bad.

Pleased with how we've started, but the second half is going to be the hardest of our schedule. At Indiana next weekend then we host the Spartans in Ann Arbor. Should be able to see both of these, as the Indiana game is on ESPN2 and the Michigan State game SHOULD be on ESPN America.

If you end up supporting Ohio State, I'm labelling you as a glory hunter :greengrin

We had to work hard for our win over Buffalo tonight, in a game I thought should have been fairly straight forward.

Some game in the Superdome - into 4 remaining minutes of OT, with the Saints having missed a 29 yard field goal attempt to win it. Falcons need to burn up some time before scoring on their drive here...

[James.]

As a jet, islander, met and pacer fan, glory has been very limited. Ohio you say?

[Sylar]

Wooft! Falcons stun the Saints in the Dome, kicking a 47 yard field goal in overtime. Prior to the kick, they had a false start, getting back from 42 yards to 47, but he held his nerve and popped it straight through! Huge result for Atlanta.

Well, at least you're consistent with the New York area teams, save the Pacers - I know a guy from Uni who's a Giants, Yankees, Penguins and Lakers fan - go figure...

Plenty of New York teams, if you do feel you have some connection/reason for chosing teams from here.

Rutgers (NJ), Syracuse, Army, Columbia, St John Fisher Cardinals to name some of the more well known sides...

Just out of interest, why not the Knicks or the Nets (I know they're NJ, but potato, potAto)

[James.]

Two words - Reggie Miller! Loved that guy when I was growing up. I guess it would have been the Nets otherwise.

Cheers for the suggestions, recognise some of those names from the big east.

I've just got into American Football this week. Went round my mate's house for a game of Fifa and ended up playing Madden all week. I'd only ever watched one game, when the Giants were in the Super Bowl, just because Tynes is their kicker! I didn't really have a clue what was going on but now I appreciate the strategy a bit more I find it actually a decent sport.

Was in the pub earlier and enjoyed the game that went to OT that was on although I have no idea who it was between, and the Dolphins-Jets game is keeping me captivated - which is a problem because I can't switch it off but I have a lecture at 9am. Just grab some coffees in the morning! :greengrin

[James.]

Excellent win this morning. Sanchez was brilliant again for the most part, L.T gets better and better and how good is the Terminator? Missed Revis in the first half as Wilson was struggling and I'm not sold on Slauson but have to be happy with the response after the Ravens game!

[Sylar]

3 teams sitting at 2-0 now - it's going to be a very hard fought division this year, with second place likely taking the Wild card.

Though I won't easily admit it, it was the result I was hoping for before kick off. Yeuch - I feel grimey even saying that! :greengrin

Is the game next week SNF or MNF? If not I got some bad news for you cause it's not going to be on sky.

Now, now it's the same for all of us. Second half of the season is going to be very intresting. Just a pitty you will be out of it by the time you play us.

What you make of the Longhorns? Very, very surprised at the result. UCLA are utter rubbish.

Did you stay up for the game? It was another cracker. Sanchez proved me wrong yet again. Thought LT looked great again but I do worry about Greene although he did look ok in the 4th.
If you can get into college football you won't regret it. Don't worry about the play-offs, just pick a team who wont make them :greengrin.


Just out of interest, why not the Knicks or the Nets (I know they're NJ, but potato, potAto) I'm the same. Just couldn't take to either of them. Ended up going for the Sonics and look whats happened to them :grr:. Now I don't have an NBA team :boo hoo:. The one thing I truly hate about American Sports




Only Pittsburgh and Kansas maintain perfect record starts

The Chiefs will surprise a few people this year and should be in there with a shout in 2 or 3 years time.

[DH1875]

Dont know TBH

Vick would be a quick fix but Kolb would only get better with game time. But Vick can run :greengrin

Looks like we got our answer. Even hearing that Kolb could be on his way out the door to Cleveland



If you end up supporting Ohio State, I'm labelling you as a glory hunter :greengrin

Some game in the Superdome - into 4 remaining minutes of OT, with the Saints having missed a 29 yard field goal attempt to win it. Falcons need to burn up some time before scoring on their drive here...

Enough with the Buckeye bashing young man:greengrin. I'm a glory hunter, I support Hibs :faf::faf::faf:.

Falcon's game was great and I was impressed by their O. How's about Tony Gonzalez, a true leg-end. Always been one of my fav all time players and a shoe in for the hall of fame.



Excellent win this morning. Sanchez was brilliant again for the most part, L.T gets better and better and how good is the Terminator? Missed Revis in the first half as Wilson was struggling and I'm not sold on Slauson but have to be happy with the response after the Ravens game!

Wilson will def come good I've no worries there. I'm more worried about Ducasse but your right either way. Our O line looks week and I think that we let Faneca go at least one season to soon.


This is only my second season watching it, it's addictive.

It is indeed my friend :top marks.

[Sylar]

Is the game next week SNF or MNF? If not I got some bad news for you cause it's not going to be on sky.

Now, now it's the same for all of us. Second half of the season is going to be very intresting. Just a pitty you will be out of it by the time you play us.

What you make of the Longhorns? Very, very surprised at the result. UCLA are utter rubbish.

The game is Monday night next week, so will be on ESPN (or Channel 4). Either way, it should be broadcast - 8.30pm (ET) start though, so being awake might be a whole other problem :greengrin

If we can keep putting numbers up on our offense, we might still be thereabouts when we come to play you - The fact that we have both Michigan State and Iowa in Ann Arbor is a bonus and Penn State haven't looked fantastic thus far, though they're still 3-1 and I can't really see us doing much against them! Wisconsin will probably be a right-off, as they look good right now.

I don't think Texas are the team they were last season - I saw them play Texas Tech and thought their defense had a few gaping holes in it then. UCLA aren't ranked though, so it was a pretty big upset!

I've never really been able to get into the NBA in all honesty. One of my closest friends lives in Ohio (don't worry, he's originally from the Lakes, so is a Michigan fan! :wink:) is a Pistons fan - he tried to get me into it, when they were in the playoffs against the Celtics a couple of years back, but I just didn't really enjoy it. I've been along to the Amway Arena to watch the Magic a couple of times, and I've enjoyed the experience, but still wouldn't call myself an Orlando fan.

It's unavoidable I'm afraid - it's like a rite of initiation when supporting Michigan :greengrin!

In all seriousness, I was in Columbus a couple of years ago for the big one - didn't have tickets, but we went along to the stadium and watched in the huge square outside, where they had big TV's and thousands of people - I was amongst a fairly sizable group of Wolverine fans and the atmosphere was twice as intimidating as ANY Edinburgh derby I've ever been to - was actually glad we didn't win in the end (it was a pretty close run affair if I recall), as all hell would have broken loose!

As an aside, final score of the week: Chicago Bears 20-17 Green Bay Packers

Good for you. At least you won't be labeled a glory hunter :greengrin. I got to be honest though and say they might be a tad hard to follow and I don't think you will get the whole experience if you stick with them. Like I say it's just an opinion but coming from the UK and having no ties I think it's better to go with a bigger team when it comes to college football. You get bigger games, bigger crowds, better atmosphere, better banter and the of chance off catching your team on tv. I know it doesn't mean much when your at Easter Road but believe me it makes a difference when your sitting on your todd on a saturday night in front of a computer screen. Have a look and see if you can catch one of their games and then watch one of these teams (at home).
LSU
Clemson
Virginia Tech
Tennessee
Penn State
Alabama
Michigan
Notre Dame
Texas A&M
and of course the mighty OHIO STATE BUCKEYES.
Like I said it's just my thoughts and would be intresting to see what the story so far has to say on the Subject.
Stick with it what ever you decide though.

[DH1875]

Just had a thought. Notre Dame will be playing a game in Dublin in 2012. If you go down that route it's a chance to see your team play a proper competative game.

I'll be honest, I can't see it working.

Nothing compares to the atmosphere of being at a College Football game. Not even the best atmosphere ever experienced at a football ground. The masses who make up the college crowd won't travel for it and by comparison, British/Irish fans are **** at making a decent noise, as it's something we're controlled (by both inhibitions and overzealous policing) not to do.

I was in the Big House a couple of years back to watch Michigan play Michigan State - even though we didn't win, 105,000 people cheering on a side with such zeal, combined with the marching band was something to truly savor!

I'd agree it might be difficult following Marist - never easy following a team just be checking the scores - you need to get a feel for how the team play, styles of offense...Marist definitely aren't a team who are going to be on ESPN at any point during the season and I'd be surprised if they're even on streaming sites.

However, if you can follow them and get properly into it and enjoy supporting the smaller team, I tip my hat to you! I always felt it must be hard for people without affiliations to "chose" a team. I spent some time at Michigan, so the decision is pretty much made for you :greengrin

[James.]

I'm really more interested in looking at how the whole system works in college football. Different divisions, umpteen bowls, AP rankings, a team called Army etc. Marist have a pretty good site with audio, video etc. enough to keep me updated and interested while I try to figure out the sport at this level! Oh and Pacers legend Rik Smits is a former Red Fox. So that's me sold!

[DH1875]

Ayrshirehibs your not the bloke who set up the Jets uk fan club are you :wink:.

As for Marist, good for you. College football has got so bad in New York that they have started to import other teams. Know it seems like I keep biging them up but as well as the game in Dublin, Notre Dame have two games in New York/New Jersey this season. Yankee stadium and Meadowlands:thumbsup:.
I even herd that they looking to have a PAC-10 game there :faf:. I mean, wtf is that all about.

Sorry, it might just be because I'm very tired, but IS game?

Nah - in my personal opinion, I can't see College Football ever taking off as much over here, as a lot of the interest/support comes from collegiate allegiance, derived either by locality or attendance at the college. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch the Fighting Irish unless they were playing Michigan, so nah, no interest in going. I should hopefully get to Michigan vs Ohio State and Florida vs Miami next season, so that will suffice for a while.

I did get to the Patriots game at Wembley - was nice to see them in the flesh again, but a bit of a non-event, game wise. I didn't feel that the NFL UK experience was even HALF as good as gameday in the US, but I am biased. No atmosphere ANYWHERE on Earth will compare to our 2002 Superbowl Victory in the Superdome :thumbsup: Hoping to get back to Foxborough next season at some point if I can fit it in whilst I'm in the USA. If not, I'm hoping the schedule will be favourable and perhaps throw a Pats @ Bucs or Pats @ Dolphins game up whilst I'm in Orlando training next Fall.

I agree with you that there is no chance of college football taking off over here, which is a real shame. Reckon the size of the US really helps on this occassion, in that a college team is the only decent sports team about for hundreds of miles. You only got to look at the amount of states that don't have an NFL team never mind cities. Having never been to a college game I can't say for def but the atmosphere seems to me to be a hundred times better than the NFL. Again I agree with you regarding the games at wembely. Always been really disappointed and doubt I will be back unless the Jets get a game. That said I think I will try and get over to Dublin as it's an experience. Some of us don't have the life style you know:greengrin. You sound like you got some life mate, and good luck to you, ya big show off :thumbsup:.

Thought it might have been you cause the bloke comes from Ayr.

Doubt you will be able to do it if your watching the Alabama game but the Stanford @ Oregon game should be a great watch if you don't know the score. It's on ESPN on Sunday lunch time. (Not live but shown as kind of thing).

Hate it when we are the favs to win a game. Hope we pull it off as a win here will set us up nice with the Dolphins and the Patriots playing each other.

Have you really been to a Superbowl?

Hardly a show-off :greengrin It was a once in a lifetime experience to be honest - I was over visiting family in Rhode Island and they were season ticket holders in Foxborough - made the trip every week. They bought tickets for the Superbowl but couldn't make the game, so we asked if we could buy the tickets. They wouldn't hear of taking money for it, so all we had to pay for were the flights from Boston to New Orleans and accomodation for the overnight!

You really do have to see the campuses in the USA to appreciate just how big collegiate football really is. I've been fortunate enough to spend time studying in 2 Universities over there and almost done my PhD over there. The reason isn't even always the absence of an NFL team. There's a purity about College Football, which sets it apart from the NFL - it's nothing other than personal/team pride and collegiate allegiance. Money doesn't dominate and because of the roster turnover due to graduation etc, it's not (usually) dominated by any one team for too long, though success on the field is creating a trend of recruitment right now for the likes of Alabama, Ohio State and LSU, hence their recent dominance.


Just out of curiosity but how the hell do you get ticket's for that one and how much does a trip like that cost.

As I said, I've spent some time studying in Michigan, so I count as eligible for ticket allocation. I tend not to use it though, as my aforementioned mate (set to be my best man at my wedding in 2 years) manages to get tickets as his brother used to play for the Wolverines and ex-players have a guaranteed ticket allocation for life. Other than flights and spending money, I tend not to pay for anything else, as I stay with my mate (who also picks me up/drops me off at the airport) and the tickets for ex-players and their friends/family aren't charged (unless over a certain amount are requested - the last Michigan vs OSU game generated a lot of interest in tickets for his brother, so he had to pay $100 per additional ticket).

I'll be honest - my attention to both has been hampered this week due to the Ryder Cup.

Denard Robinson was electric YET AGAIN! :thumbsup: Michigan up to 17 in the rankings, with Michigan State being ranked 16, prior to next weeks matchup in Ann Arbor, which should be a cracker - absolutely miffed that ESPN American aren't showing any games live next weekend, as it's the opening weekend of the NHL - not that I mind the NHL starting again, but I'm a bit pissed it's at the expense of a cracking Big Ten game!

LT was different class. First time he's gone over 100 yards since 0ct 08. :thumbsup:

Thought it was an allround good display but you got to remember it was against the Bills. How poor are they :greengrin and how they managed to push the Pats so close is beyond me. Still a great result in terms that the Dolphins and the Patriots play tonight. A bit early for must win games but who ever loses this one could already be out of the running.

[Sylar]

New England Patriots 41-14 Miami Dolphins

Oooft! What a SUPERB display last night! Simply breathtaking offense and gave very little up in response! And above ALL else, how utterly sensational were our special teams - Danny Chung and Brandon Tate - Chung blocks a punt and a field goal and returned both for the TD. Brandon Tate took the opening kickoff in the second half and took it from end to end!

That'll do me nicely! I didn't expect to win either game on the road in the last 2 weeks, but that's a HUGE result for us last night, especially before our free week next week, then a home tie against the most brutal defense in the NFL right now.

Arguably, 2 of our hardest rivals are out the way, both on the road, and I'd heavily fancy our chances of beating both the Jets and Dolphins in Foxborough later in the season.

New England trade Randy Moss to the Vikings for a 3rd round draft pick...

I'll be honest, though he might still do decent things in Minnesota, I've not been impressed with him this season and I'm going to guess his team-mates have been having issues too, as Brady hasn't looked for him all too often this season.

I'm not exactly sure on his numbers, but I'm fairly sure he's still in single figures for catches this season, and didn't receive anything on Monday night.

3rd round pick isn't a terrible trade either. Hopefully we can put it to good use and bring in a decent backup running back or QB. It's a shame Denard Robinson isn't a senior at Michigan yet, or I'd be touting him to follow Brady to Foxborough! :greengrin

[Just Jimmy]

I think the Moss trade works for both outfits. Pats are stacked with good draft slots next year.

Vikings now have; Moss and Rice wide, Harven in the slot, AP at half back with sicano (sp) and of course old father time at QB. Superbowl or bust!

Having looked at it more, we apparently have 2 picks in each of the 1,2,3,4th round so could work out well for us.

He hasnt appeared much this season that is true but he is a big game player and has the experience. Welker will lead the line well with Tate no.2 but Tate is only really starting his pro career this season after injury ended his first season early (although Tate is looking some player from returns!).

His calibre is unquestionable, no doubt, but he hasn't been a big-game player since early last season. He's been utterly non-existent since this season started - not because of injury/not playing - he's been on the park, but not finding space or running routes quickly enough to get into a spot where Brady can find him.

His TD vs the Jets in the Meadowlands is probably the only thing of note he's really achieved this season. I wish him well, but won't dwell on him going.

We're in a great position to build a team for the future and our draft picks, plus our current depth of squad is VERY encouraging!

Ha Ha, keep dreaming mate. If he keeps it up and becomes the player we think he will he is a shoe in to be a first round draft pick. So unless your Pats want to start having some really, really bad season's (1990 :faf: )he's a cert for some where like the Raiders or the Rams.

[Gatecrasher]

rankings, with Michigan State being ranked 16, prior to next weeks matchup in Ann Arbor, which should be a cracker - absolutely miffed that ESPN American aren't showing any games live next weekend, as it's the opening weekend of the NHL - not that I mind the NHL starting again, but I'm a bit pissed it's at the expense of a cracking Big Ten game!


no NCAA this weekend? :boo hoo:

I'm guessing it's just because it's the opening weekend in all honesty and a lot of the games are being played in Europe just now. A lot of the NHL games are normally evenings, whereas the NCAA has games on at 12.00pm and 3.30pm ET (5.00pm and 8.30pm), so it SHOULD just be this weekend. There are games being shown "as live" on the Sunday morning.

As per the above post, we have picks in the 1st, 2nd AND 3rd rounds in the next draft, so you never know :wink: - I'd rather avoid watching us going back to the bottom of the barrel again - besides, the Lions seem quite comfortable down there just now. Robinson is still 2 years away from being drafted by anyone anyway - in all seriousness, I reckon he'll have his pick of franchises interested in his services. He should go for an early pick though.

Not on ESPN anyway - pop adthe.net into google, and click on the first link - there's a link at the top of the page with "Live Sports" and their streams are second to none!

Ill prob do that :thumbsup: probably a better choice of games as well :agree:

[Haymaker]

His calibre is unquestionable, no doubt, but he hasn't been a big-game player since early last season. He's been utterly non-existent since this season started - not because of injury/not playing - he's been on the park, but not finding space or running routes quickly enough to get into a spot where Brady can find him.

His TD vs the Jets in the Meadowlands is probably the only thing of note he's really achieved this season. I wish him well, but won't dwell on him going.

We're in a great position to build a team for the future and our draft picks, plus our current depth of squad is VERY encouraging!

While he hasnt popped up enough to win us yards so far, he still has that ability to pull off something incredible like the one handed catch against the Jets... I just feel our receivers are weaker with his leaving. Welker was always going to be the #1 this season and onwards but I fear our other options (Tate being our #2) are inexperienced and therefore weak if we are going to go a long way this season.

However, our ground game is encouraging and with the multi choices on the ground and Welker in the air... we might be ok...

I just feel like we have lost a serious weapon in trading moss.

Like that call there, going for it on fourth down. Although they just messed it right up.

[Sylar]

I've seen the Spartans three times now this season - vs Notre Dame (with their fantastic fake field-goal call in OT to win), last week vs Wisconsin, and today. They are one very impressive team, and I'm not overly ashamed by how convincingly they're going to win this football game.

They're simply better than us.

Oh well, roll on next week :)

Have to admit I'm getting quite in to this college football lark - Alabama trailing as we speak! Having lost 42-0 last week, Marist have just thumped Valparaiso 51-7 - never a dull moment it appears!

Just highlights and snippets here and there - they're never going to be on college game day anytime soon. 2-3 (1-2) so far. I dont think I will read much into todays result as the Crusaders seem to be the division's whipping boys.

I already reckon you've no chance in all honesty. Chicago will probably win the division, and the wild card will undoubtedly come from the NFC South division, with both the Saints and Bucs being contenders.

[Just Jimmy]

good win for the Giants, last two weeks have shown a MASSIVE improvement with the defence and Nicks looks awesome so far. His drops will come as he gains more experience. Eventually he will be unplayable!

[DH1875]

These late nights are bloody killing me. Know it's only an hour but roll on the clocks going back. Will be intresting to see Holmes in a Jets jersey now that Sanchez is throwing the ball. As for Revis, he better pull it together after all his crap in the summer. If Moss tears him a new one again he better think about giving some of that money back.
Just getting ready for kick-off. Heres hoping i make it through the 1st quarter and wake up in the morning to a win.

Just finished watching the highlights. Jets look like they'll be very strong contenders indeed for the Superbowl this year.

Strong offensive performance, though ironically, despite scoring 29 points, the biggest play was probably the defensive one which stopped Farve getting his fourth rallying TD of the night.

The Vikings offense highlighted some of the weaknesses in the Jets' D, but they really do look a strong team. You guys must be happy, as that's all 3 divisional rivals and a fairly ambitious Minnesota team you've downed since the rather poor start vs the Ravens.

We're only 5 weeks in now, but my prediction for the Superbowl is shaping up to be:

NY Jets/Baltimore Ravens vs Chicago Bears/Atlanta Falcons

[James.]

On holiday this week so managed to catch the MNF game. The Vikings were dreadful in the first half and we really should have had them dead and buried by then. Sanchez was making good throws and decisions however the weather was playing havoc with the ball.I thought the defence was exceptional although Revis looked a bit suspect against Harvin at times. I think over the piece we deserved the win, good sign when you aren't at your best and are still fairly comfortable.

I'd be surprised if the Giants made the playoffs never mind the superbowl.

[Sylar]

I'd be surprised if the Giants made the playoffs never mind the superbowl.

I'd agree with that - they've looked fairly awful in the occasions I've seen them and don't have much in way of depth.

If asked to stick my neck out, I'd opt for Ravens vs Bears just now, but it's still early doors!

They always say "offense wins games, defense wins championships" - if that rings true, they may as well hand the Vince Lombardi trophy to Baltimore right now.

Neither off you are wrong, and I backed Baltimore at 16/1 to win it at the start of the season. However I just have a gut feeling about the Giants, no one expected anything in 2007 either. Depending on injuries and productivity from the recieving core, and if Jacobs can put being second choice behind him and do what he does best, they can go far. The defence has looked excellent in the last two weeks without Kiwinuka. Who knows?

Didn't make it :boo hoo:. Ended up crashing just after the start of the 3rd. Fricking New York weather ment game didn't kick-off till 2.15 :grr:. Seems that I ended up missing a lot of action and couldn't believe it when I found out the score. From what I seen the Vikings looked poor and Favre was unbelievably p**h. He looked totally out of his debt so to hear he turned it round 4th quarter was a real surprise. I still got to say the've made a big mistake bringing him back this season (especially on the money he's on).

I'm more than happy. Been following the Jets for close on 25 years. You being a Pats fan will be well aware that for most of these we've no been very good. This was the first season in a long time that I actually thought to myself we had a chance of the superbowl (if ever). I'm still not 100% on the left side of our O-Line but other than that we are looking in good shape. If LT can keep it up for the season we have every chance of making it. I know it's said every week but what a pick up he is proving to be. Our running game was good last year and I thought it was a mistake letting Jones go but not any more. Got my order for a new LT jersey in:greengrin.
We've got to be happy with how it's all going. Even our defeat against the Ravens was more down to us. We never got going and if anything it was the penalties that cost us. Thing we had something like 12 on the def alone:grr:. In saying that I still reckon they could still pip us. Or hows about a Pats @ Jets championship game, in the snow:hyper:. Think you are certs for a wildcard and it would be an all time classic.
As for the NFC I reckon you right on the money with the Falcons although I've a wee fancy for the Cardinals. Giants have NO chance.

I hope LT is saving some for Denver on Sunday, if he and Greene are on it then we could be in for a very good win against a suspect Broncos line up. You've obviously been a Jet fan for a lot longer than me but even I find it slightly surreal seeing us so highly rated by everyone!

I'll have to settle for the laptop again, but Michigan are playing Iowa, which is being covered in the US by ABC and ESPN, so I should at least get a decent online feed.

I'm quite surprised the Baltimore @ New England game isn't being shown on Sky, but again, I should manage to get a good feed!

Last night, No. 25 West Virginia beat South Florida 20-6 in one of the most one-sided games I've seen in a long while - surprised there were only 2 scores in it!

[Sylar]

Well, 2 defeats on the bounce, but a decent rally against a very powerful Iowa side. I did envisage us hitting a wall in the second half of the season so I'm not overly surprised we're on a bit of a sliding slope just now.

BOOM! Baltimore's unbreakable D hits the skids, with the Patriots downing them in Foxborough, in overtime!

Absolutely stoked - we played BRILLIANTLY yesterday, especially slowing down the rushing offense of the Ravens. At one point, we trailed 20-10, but Brady (who didn't have his best game, getting picked twice) found Deion Branch for a TD, before the FG took us into OT, which was won following another successful conversion by Gotskowski!

HUGE result for us, especially with the Jets getting a very good win in Mile High.

Been out of the game and missed all of last weeks action. Can't believe we blew it against Wisconsin still there's always next year. Games on the big ten network this week so might struggle for a link as last one I had got shut down :grr:. Think I'm going to go down the baseball route tonight and see if the Yankees can turn things around. That and with the Jets having no game it should be another quite weekend.

[Gatecrasher]

Northwestern v Michigan ST. game is good 17-14 to Northwestern 8:30 in the 3rd Northwestern with the ball :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

There's only one word to sum up my feeling about our win yesterday vs San Diego - "phew".

We looked so comfortable at one stage, leading 23-6, but a well executed TD, followed by another after recovering the onside kick left us staring at 23-20 with 2 minutes to go.

Belichick REALLY confuses me with some of his play calls though and he was lucky to get away with another last night. If anyone recalls the New England @ Indianapolis game last year, Pats leading with 2 to go, facing 4th and 1 on the half way line. Instead of punting and forcing the Colts to drive the field if they wanted to score, they went for it, failed to get it and ended up losing. Last night, with the ball in a similar spot, he done it again and failed again, meaning San Diego just had to get into FG territory.

They did just that and set up for a 45 yard FG attempt. Prior to the snap, a false start penalty was called, meaning the penalty extended to 50 yards, which resulted in the miss.

That was a HUGE win for us out West last night - San Diego are number one ranking for total offense and total defense in the country, so it baffles why they're in the position they're in.

The amount of stupid mistakes they made last night cost them the win and I feel a little bit lucky we got out of there with the victory. That sort of heart-stopping finale is not advisable before going to bed!

Leaving only the Bills without a win out of all the teams in the NFL. Be interesting to see if the Giants can topple the Cowboys in Dallas tonight, which would leave them utterly no chance of making the postseason already. As I mentioned in my previous post, the position of San Diego is a puzzle - they're nowhere near as bad as their record suggests - it's like the entire AFC West is upside down from how the teams usually place.

The race for the wildcard is already looking tasty in both divisions, with the better records being held in the AFC, with 3 teams at 5-1.

Scott, do you agree that our defense seems to come apart late in the game? This season we seem to be losing TDs late on an luckily holding on a few times... I only get the highlights sadly so maybe I am mistaken.

They seem to be getting "comfortable" after we seem to get any kind of lead and start defending quite passively - they sit off, waiting for the pass to come, but are being easily run over if the other side have a decent RB.

We do seem to have been a bit of a one-half team this season, but we are getting away with it. I also think we're struggling a little with penalties, which is probably the result of having so many rookies in our starting lineup. The amount of times we gave up holding, false start or personal foul penalties last night was getting infuriating!

I dont see many of the penalities with the highlights so I cant comment on those but you are right with the Rookies, we have so many!

Yet, considering they're rookies, they've looked really comfortable in their first season!

Penalties are destined to kill us unless we can get one of the coaches to sort them out! In the first 5 minutes of the 1st quarter, there were 4 penalties called on our special teams, which considering how infrequently the special teams are on the park, is pretty damned impressive!

We have some BIG games coming up which we need to be winning - the good part in that, is that we have another 4 games in the next 2 months which will probably be covered on Sky - vs Minnesota (next weekend), @ Pittsburgh (14 Nov), vs Indianapolis (21 Nov), @ Detroit (25 Nov, Thanksgiving game 1).

[Haymaker]

4 on special teams? Jesus!

I still think we can get the play offs this year, we can take the Vikes, probably steelers... Colts is always going to be a tough one and the Lions game is winnable. Have to agree that sometimes Bills calls are strange!

Yep - here's hoping you can keep your winning streak going next weekend too and help us out a bit, whilst we can hopefully scratch your back at the same time, by beating the Vikings in Foxborough :wink: - wonder if Favre will be fit to play against us next week, with 2 fractures in his ankle....

Final result for the week:

New York Giants 41-35 Dallas Cowboys

NFC East

NY Giants 5-2
Washington 4-3
Philadelphia 4-3
Dallas 1-5 :faf:

Howa about them Cowboys :greengrin

Jerry looked DEEEEEEElighted! Good! He's a prick.

Anyway, yes and no Scott, they could have smashed Dallas tonight, I mean properly crushed them into the dust. They recovered well after a horrible start and deserved to win as they absolutely dominated and I'm not sure 35 points for Dallas shows how pathetic they were. Smashing Romo up obviously played a huge part.

Bryant was the only Cowgirls player to come out that game with any credability. Ok Romo goes down, but it's up to your other big guys to step up and help out your backup QB. They were simply awful.

Saying that, I'm not 100% convinced about our offence yet either. Defence will do me, they gave up 20 points for 55 yards at one point. From 2 interceptions and a punt return. Not a massive issue, very few teams have Bryants ability to return punts like that. They are excellent at pass rushing as well. Fewell has worked wonders so far.

Bradshaw is a beast, as Jabobs finally looks to be playing a part. I just wish they'd cut out the stupid fumbles. ah who cares 5-2, and the Cowboys won't be going to their own superbowl party at 1-5 and no Romo for a few weeks. :faf:

We have a bye week next week and play Dallas at new Giants stadium in three weeks I think. If Romo is still out that should result in another win. So then we're looking for 4 more, probably 5 more wins no including the other Dallas game to be sure. I'm no convinced against the real big sides yet tho.

Anyone going to Wembley on sunday? I cant wait to see another proper game live, last years was fantastic (being a Pats fan of course!) so I am hoping for a good atmosphere, experience and hopefully game although both sides dont look very good this year!

is it still a 6pm KO? the packers jets game KO at that time, so i might only have half an eye on it.

6pm - listed as 1pm ET on ESPN's website.

Didn't fancy it this year - 2 very poor teams chosen - I understand the fans in the USA not wanting to lose one of the big rivalry games to overseas audience (imagine they exported the Edinburgh derby to play an overseas game in China?!), but it would be superb to see a Giants vs Jets, Jets vs Pats, Packers vs Vikings, Raiders vs Chargers or the likes come to Wembley (or indeed a.n.other suitable stadium!)

True, the teams chosen are poor, luckily I got to see the Patriots play in the flesh last year! And a good victory too.

Im going to enjoy the game, I will hopefully be in NYC next summer till the beginning of September so might be able to catch a pre-season game or two out there... Cant wait.

Use are a shoe in for the playoffs. Obviously the Jets will take the division but a wild card is def yours. Like I've said before, I'd love to see a Jets v Patriots championship game.


Ill take a pack - pat win next sunday no problem :greengrin


I won't :gun:.

Has to be a Jets win. LT is in great form and for some reason you seem to be struggling with the run this year. In general I've nothing against the Packers. Big AJ fan with him being a Buckeye and wouldn't mind if they do quite well this year(just not against us).

Half an eye? It's more than I'll have on it. I'm just not feeling it at all and be honest if it wasn't been played in the UK it would be the least intresting match up of the weekend.
Can't see me ever going back for a game unless it's to see a handful of teams.

Yep, can't see anything other than a Jets win - offense on fire just now, especially LT - expect you to steamroll them in the Meadowlands in all honesty. Would love to be wrong obviously...

I'm in the same boat - I've been down and done it, but I wouldn't go unless it was the Pats again - there's just not anywhere near the same atmosphere/experience as games in the US and the setting of Wembley isn't brilliant (stadium is alright, but surroundings don't make for a good "pre-game" setup. I'm off over to New England next year - hoping to go in late November for a match-up in the snow! :greengrin

No doubt Jets are hot faves for this one, With half the defence out and the main running back out for the season we will be lucky to reach the play-offs. BUT there is still some cracking players (Rodgers, Driver, Jennings, Mathews, Hawk, Collins etc) in the team, enough to pull a shock :greengrin

As for the Wembley game - half an eye? i meant when the adverts are on the packers@Jets game :agree:

[James.]

Can't wait to see what a week's rest has done for our secondary and for LT. Hopefully Holmes can do some damage this week too.

Two other things I'd love to see this weekend, Moss coming back to haunt the Brady Bunch and Dallas going 1-6 :pray:

This college football is nuts, Alabama lost the other week and so automatically fall to 8th in these polls I've been looking at. Surely you don't stop being the best college football team overnight? From what I've read nobody is convinced that Auburn or Oregon are that legit either.

I dislike the Jets as much as any Pats fan, but I'm mature enough to avoid calling you names :na na:

These polls are all pure opinion - I'd agree with you, that despite their rather embarrassing loss the other week, the Crimson Tide are probably still the best side in the NCAA - I also find it quite laughable that Ohio State are currently ranked 11th! They HAVE to be in the top 3...

Auburn will be dethroned soon enough - I'm not optimistic for Michigan today, as we're away to visit Joe Paterno and the Penn State Nittany Lions :worried:

Not surprised to see we lost to Penn State last night - quite happy to see we put some numbers on the board again right enough, but our shaky defense is going to make it a long end to the season.

Both teams missed big catches that would have pretty much won it the way the game was going. Anyone know how Favre is? Looked like a sore one. I think ALL footballers should take note.

[Gatecrasher]

what does this mean? does it mean let him go?


The NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reports the Minnesota Vikings have waived WR Randy Moss.

Do you agree with Minnesota’s decision? Tune in to NFL Network throughout the day for continuing coverage of this breaking story.

[DH1875]

what does this mean? does it mean let him go?

To an extent. We have passed the trade deadline so the way I think it works is that he is free to sign for a club who will pick up his contract which is around $3 million for the rest of the season. Now the catch here is that he can't just sign for anyone. Again I'm not 100% but I think it works similar to the draft system in that the weakest team in the league gets first option so in this case it would be the Bills, then Cowboys etc, etc.
Hope that kind of makes sence.
Can't believe they gave up a 3rd round pick for one touchdown :faf:.

The Wembley game was eye-bleeding until the 4th... Good day out though! :agree:

Great weekend of results though!

As for Moss, apparently he slammed the coaching, said he hated Minnesota and he wants back to New England.

Tebow scored a decent run in but I was a little disappointed he didnt play more of the game.

Ah well, we still have the draft pick, money to spare in the budget cap and we are heading to the play offs... Its a shame as Moss was a great player for us for a while but we survive.
