Watching Oregon is great, it's a shame (for me) that they are always on at 2 or 3 in the morning.
starting to pull away now, 39-20
winstons having a nightmare. A fumble and a pick in the last 2 drives.
45-20 going into the 4th

Took 3 quarters for ESPN to get the app working but I'm finally watching! Just in time to see the fumble and pick, loving the ducks jerseys!Quote:

Hats off Buckeyes. Very impressive indeed!

Playoffs start tonight. Ravens and Panthers to progress I reckon.
I think Arizona's defence will see them through.Quote:

4 home wins this weekend for me. Don't trust any of the Visiting QBs to get the job done.
Lindley finally throws a TD pass!
Cards still trail.
Looks like you called it right.Quote:

I'm going to miss the first half at least next week because it's my mums birthday and we're going bowling.
Andrew Luck playing outstandingly well now. 20-10.
Colts win!Quote:

Papers reporting at the weekend that the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise may be moving to London. Perhaps to share a ground with Spurs. Could be interesting. I'm a Packers fan myself.
Yeah the rumours have been doing the rounds for a while, mon the cheeseheads :thumbsup:Quote:

Still reckon Khan has a plan to play at Craven Cottage or get help in building a new place in conjunction with Fulham. Or we will see them at Wembley as it is more profitable than having Ingerland play there.
The lions 14-0 up, I'll be happy with the Panthers at Lambeau
cant see the jags moving to london, they may have a small fanbase in the nfl but moving to london would only harm them more i feel, the nfl series is succesful because of fans from allover the UK seeing some of their favourite teams, how many of them would travel to london to see the jags?Quote:

Dallas back in it after the TD
The lions are going to throw this away.
Not helped by a biases group of officials. Why was the flag picked up ?Quote:

Dallas at Green Bay
Carolina at Seattle
Indianapolis at Denver
Baltimore at New England.
sorry i was just disregarding the panthers and meaning if they got past GB then i hope Seattle beat them.Quote:

Feel sorry for any Lions fans.
If you wanted evidence to back up the theory that the league is biased towards the 'big' well supported teams that was it. To pick up the flag on such a vital play without any explanation was bizarre. It was blatant PI, these days a corner is barely allowed to touch a receiver, the Dallas player shoves him twice and grabs the jersey.Quote:

So who does everyone have down to win this weekend?
Im thinking NFC champ will be Green Bay @ Seatlle
AFC will be Colts @ Patriots
Anyone going to any superbowl parties this year? I think im heading to the one at sportsters run by the Edinburgh Wolves.
I would take that, IMO it all depends on the fitness of Rodgers.Quote:

I cant pick a winner between Dallas and Green Bay. We should beat Carolina in a low scoring field goal shootout.
Agree with that, wouldn't surprise me if the cowboys find a way to win.Quote:

That game was heart attack inducing!
What a great night of football. Really enjoyed the AFC game (especially the Edelman pass TD.)
Our game was pretty good too. Some great plays in all three units. Chancellor was a beast. How convenient that our best players seem to hit form at playoff time.
Just watched the highlights. Kam Chancellors performance was exactly how I used to daydream about playing the game, right down to hurdling the line :greengrin Quite a game in Foxboro too.
Just about recovered...we had some dreadful periods and some inspired periods. The Edelman pass to Amendola was quality, as was our drive before hand by online lining up with 4 offensive linemen - it seemed to confuse the Ravens to no end, as it meant 6 receivers were on the field with one reporting as ineligible. Harbaugh seemed to think this was against the rules right enough and was complaining about it but I don't think it is :confused:
I think it depends if you have a receiver who steps up from flanker to split end, or an extra TE, instead of the lineman. As long as you have a minimum of seven on the invisible line of scrimmage that runs across the field it should be legal.
I fell asleep in the 4th quarter in probably the best play off game so far.
:agree: thats old age for you.Quote:

7-7 at Lambeau
Lacy ran Dallas ragged before Rodgers found Quarless and a good response from Dallas, thought Green Bay handed them 2 huge 1st downs via penalty!
Green Bay look much more potent offensively.
I was afraid of this. Packs dodgy secondary letting them down. 14-7 dallas.
Good night for my fantasy team though!
Jesus, I forgot all about the new fantasy game! Suppose I'll go and check how bad it is thus far :greengrinQuote:

Going to be another close game. Hope Rodgers can find a way to win, the Seahwaks would probably rather get GB next week.
Dallas are a weird team. At the start of the season a lot of folk were picking them to finish bottom of that division. On paper they had a decent tight end (witten) one good running back (murray) one good receiver (bryant) and thats it. One of the worst Defenses in the league, just lost their best player to Denver, dodgy QB, lots of rookies. Now Romo is statistically best in the league, and their defense looks decent and their O Line is reckoned by most analysts to be best in the league too.Quote:

Can't agree with that overturn at all - Dallas can feel hard done by there.
What happened? I only have text updates as I am at work!Quote:

Seattle to benefit from a dodgy call next week? :greengrin
No wonder Bryant's head is in his towel - he'll be gutted.
Go Pack Go!
Saw the final quarter on Sky Go, imo bryant didn't complete the catch :thumbsup:
You would say that ya Cheesehead! :greengrinQuote:

Ludicrous IMO.
I still believe that the Packers would have gone on to win in the end, as Dallas were looking like scoring with enough time for GB to get the ball back and score again themselves.
packers were in a good FG position at the end of the game :agree:Quote:
