Genuinely too close to call I think - if Gurley is fully fit, they're a pretty fearsome team.
Having said that, our defense beautifully shut down Mahomes et al, and we did a great job keeping Gordon quiet in the Chargers game.
I reckon Brady et al are seriously fire up for this and I think this will be a final hurrah for a few players.
Patriots by 3-7.
(First time I've backed us for a while - cue a blowout win for LA :greengrin).
Can't see past Tom and Bill tbh, lost last year, hurting for more. Rams are lucky to be in the game. Could be a shoot out.
:hyper so close
:blah: Best team in the NFL this season imo. Don't let that one call cloud your judgement though :aok:Quote:

I’m thinking if for instance under -0.( in the first quarter, over 52 points in the game, Rams +2
Also, how feasible is it to get to the SuperBowl? Anyone been before?
Anything is possible if you've got the money :greengrin.Quote:

So what's everyone doing tonight? Looks like I'm in the house on my own for this one. Is the forum busy when the games on, can't remember (need someone to talk too lol).
I find myself strangely confused by this one. Hate the Patsies and never want them to win but also hate the Rams as their part of everything I hate about American sports (teams moving from state to state is just wrong).
I will be up for this hopefully. Got a bet on Aaron Donald to be MVP. Fancy the Rams but anything is possible if Brady plays to his best.
The problem you've got there is linemen don't win superbowl MVP. Not for thirty years! He is an amazing player, reminds me a lot of JJ Watt about three seasons ago who dominates the middle. With Suh next to him the o line can't double up on him so he's doubly dangerous.Quote:

Think America agrees with me. Patsie fans supposed to be outnumbering the Rams by 5 to 1 in the stadium lol. Any other team and the neutrals would be against them.Quote:

Have the Rams got blokes in their cheerleading squad or am I imagining things :confused:
Gladys Kaepernick doing the anthem.
I am almost old enough to be the Rams' head coach's dad
:loser:
And we are off and running.
Let's go Rams
Interception :greengrin
Brady looks deflatedQuote:

FG Patsies, 3-0 up.
Time for Goff to show up.
Shocking stuff by the Rams O so far.
Patsies going for it on 4th down :confused:
That 7 yard slant to Edelman IS so boring to watch but hard to stop.
3-0 Patsies HT. What a crap game thats been. Maroon 5 anyone :rolleyes:.

Maroon 5.
Just won a cooler though in the half time raffle.
Awful halftime show for an awful first half
Both teams have been poor offensively.
Patriots are there for the taking but the Rams have been dreadful. Goff hasn’t been in the game at all.
Now the awful Maroon 5 🙄

Just give it to Gurley and Anderson.
They're not dealing with Edelman. MVP.
Edelman is going to Disneyland if we win this
11 réceptions now. I wonder what the SB record isQuote:

Michel MVP now?
Game over.
:hyper
Yas!!!!!
While Edelman was great and clearly the MVP, it sticks in the throat a bit that a drugs cheat can come back after a 4 game ban and win Superbowl MVP in the same season.
Yes, I am bitter about the pats winning.... :greengrin
:hyper
Fell asleep after the first quarter. Not seen much else but didn't look like a classic.
I stayed up and am now paying the price:greengrinQuote:

yeah i like a defensive game but it sounded a bit frustrating, i read that Goff was 0/8 on 1st downs at one point. I'm just basing my opinions on the fact that most people are talking about being disappointed not to see Spongebob more than the actual game :hilariousQuote:

I disagree that it wasn’t a classic: defensive masterclasses by both sides and although we didn’t score much, i thought our offense kept trudging along. Edelman is without a doubt my favourite player. He’s an absolute beast.
To answer the earlier question about getting to go to this game, I cannot even guess how expensive it would be now. I went to 2001 with a family member who’s a ST holder at Gilette and a successful businessman in Rhode Island with the connections to get us to the game. I was bloody lucky.
My hangover is incredible
I went and climbed a hill to blow the cobwebs away this afternoon. Feel brand new now! :greengrinQuote:

Memphis Express Vs Birmingham Iron is streaming on YouTube right now if anyone is interested! Great to have something to fill the football void, I've got friends in Memphis and have visited a couple of times so Memphis may have to be my AAF team...
My local is now holding the AAF Championship Game party...
This is getting out of hand...
Flacco to the Broncos is an interesting trade.
Very. No idea what were planning. We already have a stop gap qb on good money with Keenum so we have to be looking to trade him.Quote:

That'll command some decent draft picks in return.Quote:

I know he's not young anymore, but a 2nd and a 5th round pick for the best WR in the league?? I don't understand what the Steelers are doing here, just doesn't seem like they got value.
I can only assume he's become a totally disruptive presence in the locker room and they want shot of him.Quote:

Carr to Brown. Much better than whoever would have been throwing to him in Buffalo.
I like lots of their players, Carrs very underrated, they have a good OLine, AB now, Beast mode if he stays fit. The problem is they're coached by an overpaid TV pundit. And their best defender is at the Bears. (Now there's a team that I think will challenge this season)Quote:
