I think Brady went in for like 8 snaps last year all preseason, wouldn't expect him in much at all tonight.Quote:

Some of the other scores:
Denver 31-3 Chicago
Green Bay 13-21 San Diego
Baltimore 31-17 Atlanta
New Orleans 6-7 New England
Pittsburgh 23-24 Philadelphia
Washington 7-6 Buffalo
Jesus, things must be bad. Have you guy's seen the Patriots latest cheerleaders :faf:.

Like their Brady haircuts. You looking forward to the big kick off tonight against the Bengals? Holmes and Kerley are both out so should see a fair bit of Stephen Hill which will be interesting. We've also signed some back up to Sanchez apparently from Denver and he'll probably get a look in at some point. His name escapes me though :rolleyes:Quote:

I'm afraid he's just not up to it. Cro switching to safety is the most interesting one. If it comes off then great but if not, I fear the worst. I've said it the last couple of years but we really struggle against strong TE'S which is one of the reasons the Patsies hurt us. As for Tebow, expect him to feature a lot, more than some people think. I don't agree with it as there is a good QB in Sanchez somewhere but expect Tebow to be starting by week 4/5.
Ok people, it is time for super bowl predictions...
I am going for patriots v green bay with a patriots victory.

Yeah Luck did look good, but one can't read much into pre-season.
I see that Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) has been released by the Dolphins because of his domestic violence arrest.
Dam, was enjoying watching him on hard knocks. the boy is crazy.Quote:

That's the exact same argument as my American friends use against football matches that end up 1-0 or 0-0. It could have still been a good game. Maybe.Quote:

Just noticed that the Rams have pulled out of next year and the year after. Can only be a good thing if you ask me :greengrin.
They only pulled out of playing in London, right?Quote:

How much is a replica jersey in the states these days? Nike have set an RRP of £70 a jersey over here :shocked:. No chance I'm paying that.
Reckon so... But to where?Quote:

Further pre-season wins last night for Cleveland (35-10 over Green Bay) and Cincinnati (24-19 over Atlanta).

Politics and money. Basically they were the worst team in the league and their crowds were dropping year after year. They were playing in Anaheim and wanted the city to build them a new stadium. They were told to bolt and the Rams owners tried to call their bluff and said they were moving to Baltimore. LA wouldn't budge and then St Louis said they would build them a new stadium and put other other offers and promises on the table. Rams owner took them up on their offer.Quote:

Still can't get my head round teams moving cities.
Did anyone watch the programme with the Buckeyes in it on ESPN last night? Didn't even know it was on, was it any good?
