With Gronk out I think the Jets have a chance of keeping this game within 2 or 3 scores. ;-)
I'm never confident of us going into the Meadowlands and as poor as the Jessies have looked this year, I'm not confident tonight either.
Also not 100% sure I'll be awake come KO :greengrin
The best thursday of the year!
Hoping for Texans, Skins and Jets wins.
I'm confident about winning every game. The way I see it, if we can't beat the Jets on the road then what chance do we have against Houston in the playoffs? I don't mean to sound like we are going to win the SB but that's the goal almost every year and that's where I set my sights.Quote:

Which probably means it will be a Houston, Dallas and Jessie treble :greengrin
We struggled on the road against Seattle, Baltimore and Arizona - that's already cause for worry if we manage to get into the playoffs (which I think we will).Quote:

Homefield advantage, hatred and nothing to lose - the Jessies will be a different team tonight to the one which has rolled over the past couple of months.
I just went for my picks based on whats the best outcomes for the Saints playoff chances.Quote:

FTJ!
Good call by TSSF in my opinion. Turkey especially with all those berry flavours of a tgiving dinner, is quite a strong flavour so it can be paired nicely with a soft red (Napa Valley Pinot Noir would be an inspired choice) :nerd:Quote:

I have always followed the White = White Red = Red pairing philosophy myself. But then again, I am a lager man at heart! :agree:Quote:

Ever tried anything from the Anchor Brewery in San Francisco? They make some lovely beers which are quite similar to Sierra Nevada :agree:Quote:

I generally have red wine with turkey - more of a Christmas tradition but no work tomorrow, so a wee luxury! 2006 Bordeaux tonight and it's lovely!
BMC (Bud, Miller, Coors) probably make up 99% of beer sales but there are hundreds to choose from. Literally. And now I make my own. :-)
Anchor Steam beer's lovely :agree: It used to be that Anchor was the only decent american 'craft' beer you could get in the UK but theres loads of good ones now.Quote:

I hope Houston win as that will put the Lions away for good this season :agree:
TD Lions.
I'll take more Lions' TDs if we get to see the Detroit fan in the yellow top dancing again :greengrin
Level again but Detroit storming down towards the Texans end zone again.
Been a very quick first half!
Its flew in :agree:Quote:

Enjoyed that half. Are we getting the usual daft halftime show?
Controversial
Wow. What a huge mistake by the officials in the Lions game.
TD Texans but it should have been 3rd down around 80 yards further back up the field.
Jim Schwarz then makes a huge mistake and throws the challenge flag, thus resulting in the play not being reviewed.
No wonder the Lions fans are spewing...
It's clear as day!
Detroit go 3 and out. The team and sidelines still looked scrambled.
24-24 now, if the Lions don't settle they will end up losing the game.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is still one of, if not THE best beers I have ever tasted. Working for BrewDog, as I do, I have encountered quite a few Anchor tap takeovers in our bars so and quite familiar with the beers. While I like Anchor Steam, Liberty Ale is a beer I buy whenever I can. Brekle's Brown is decent and Old Foghorn is good (as far as a Barleywine goes!) Rogue and Flying Dog are another two breweries I buy whenever I can. I have quite mixed feeling on Brooklyn but still appreciate them as far superior to pretty much everything on mainstream sale.
I just got home at the start of the 4th quarter so am geared up for the rest of the night. One of our American regulars brought in some pumpkin pie. First time I have tasted it and I am mightily impressed.
