Thats the only one I can find for the Bengals/Broncos game,.

[serpheus]

I used to watch NFL years ago and i stayed up for the first half of this years superbowl. I follow the packers but found it hard to stay interested when i didn't know any other NFL fans. Its on SS3 now with Bret favre playing for minnesota.

[Alex Raisbeck]

Potentially the vikings could be a great team.
However Brady Quinn is maybe looking like he may be about to start living up to his potential.

[elvis]

I used to be huge into NFL, kind of died down over the years, but I support the NE Patriots.

[Alex Raisbeck]

With Brady back in the fold following his injury, the Patriots could be in with a big shout this season again.

[Raven136]

J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets.Great win for the green machine last night and the defence looks a typical Rex Ryan one,hit em in the mouth.

Patriots and Eagles will be my overall picks

[Skintown Red]

Brother in law is a massive Raiders fan so have adopted them. They are a bit shit now.

Went to see them in Oakland last year. The whole tailgate partys before hand are class. Drink, bbq and meat. They played hick's team that day the Texans, I was one more beer away from confronting the vile, lying, prick of a man

[JamesM]

Bucs fan myself but this year i can see the Eagles winning it.. A huge opening weekend win away to the Panthers, they hockeyed them...

[Fran74]

My monies on The Chargers this year. Why no red button games on Sky this year and no Monday night football at all? ESPN is covering Monday night games but they can't be shown in Europe. What a joke!

[JamesM]

Ahh its a great aul day, don't have to move to get a beer or anything, brought around for you. BBQ's going on all around the stadium..

[DukeyLFC]

Perhaps part of the deal they did with Sky is that they dont show the Monday night games in Europe? Which would be silly as Sky not Five are showing them anyway but just a thought really!

Anyway, anyone know how the Giants-Cowboys match ended up last night? I fell asleep watching it!

[Raven136]

Jets win again to go 3-0 and after playing the Texans,Patriots and Titans nobosy would have expected that.What a start for Ryan and Sanchez,the kid looks like a stud,big arm,composed.
Im trying not to get too excited,the Jets are like Liverpool,great highs followed by crushing lows and their nearest rivals win a superbowl recently.

[byrnetred]

lions just beat the redskins first win after a 19 game loosing streak

ted ginn is shite!!

[serpheus]

I was unable to sleep the last couple of nights so was watching college football in the early hours, absolutely amazing atmosphere, i really enjoyed it.

Anybody know why the jets and titans were wearing different jerseys and stuff and the titans were wearing houston oilers gear?

[Raven136]

Its the 50th anniversary season of the AFL son there will be 16 games where teams will wear their original jerseys and names,hence the Titans of New York played the Houston Oilers today.Cool looking jerseys.

That was unreal, some catch as well. Fair play to him he still has it..

Few suprises being thrown up this year so far, JETS 3-0, Steelers 1-2, Titans 0-3..

The Titans have been the big shock as they have a good team and a great coach.Ryan has been great for the Jets and Sanchez is looking the real deal.Steelers have no running game and are with Polamolu on defence.
Bengals also look like a play off team this year.

Mangenius wont lastlong in Clevland if he keeps going this way,fining one of his payers 1700 dollars for forgetting to pay for a 3dollar bottle of water in a hotel!!

[JamesM]

Yeah i've been very impressed with Sanchez, no fear on the rookie anyway....I think the Bucs may well have to try Freeman out as Leftwhich is pi55 poor.....

Anyone ever get to an NFL game?
If so, where/how did you source the tickets?

[Raven136]

Anyone ever get to an NFL game?
If so, where/how did you source the tickets?

try ticketmaster.com for the nfl ticket exchange

Stubhub.com

I have gotten tickets from various sources the 4 times i have been to see the Jets.On occasion,they are available outside at a decent price,or look in the sports bars.

What team are you looking to see,a lot of these staduims are nowhere near full due to the economy

[Alex Raisbeck]

Im looking for the chicago bears on 28 December, going to be freezing I know.
Ive tried Stubhub and you need an American address, prices high on ticketmaster exchange also.
Most of the other ticket exchanges add on a $40-50 dollar service charge which rockets up the price.
Im not sure whether Ill chance going over without a ticket in hand, its a bit of an ambition of mine to get to an NFL game and this is the first trip to the states which coincides with a game in city of destination.
If need be Ill just pay the price but $150+ and then service and postal charges are a bit steep right now.

Great game to see and to get to see Farve and AD in the flesh.Bloody cold though and tickets are very pricey.IMO if you have the money then the atmosphere is fantastic,the JETS fans are incredible,pretty hardcore,presume the same for the bears.
If you cant make the game there is always the Bulls and Blackhawks to watch.

we bought of stubhub last season and got them delivered to ireland no problem, not sure why your having an issue

love the way ther touting website in america is owned by ticketmaster:eek:

[gav003]

Stubhub is easiest for the ticketsif you need them in hand- if anyone is struggling for tickets because of the american address PM me. You can have them delivered to me and I can fwd them to your hotel express if you buy them in time.
Any game north of the carolinas in Dec/Jan will be freezing so pack thermals! You are 99.9% sure to get tickets outside and especially if you tailgate (drink in the carpark) the day of the game you should have no problem picking up a spare.

[Alex Raisbeck]

Thanks for the advice guys.
Ive currently got my fingers in a few pies wit regard to tickets.
Im determined to have them sorted soon as.

http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Henry-passes-away/612572f9-1819-49ed-a509-e503e8973908
Wide receiver Chris Henry, one of the Bengals’ most prolific touchdown makers ever in a brief star-crossed career, has died. Henry, 26, died Thursday morning from injuries stemming from a pickup truck accident Wednesday in Charlotte.

The news hit Paul Brown Stadium at about the same time Henry’s teammates were about to emerge from their morning meetings and take the field for their daily walkthrough. Head coach Marvin Lewis and Bengals president Mike Brown planned to meet the media at 11 a.m.

According to police, Henry fell out of the back of a pickup truck driven by his fiancée at the home of her parents. Loleini Tonga and Henry were planning to be married in March.


It is more heart-wrenching news for a team that two months ago suffered the sudden death of Vikki Zimmer, the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. One win away from clinching the AFC North title, the Bengals leave late Friday afternoon for Sunday’s game in San Diego.


Henry, who has been on injured reserve since Nov. 9 with a dislocated forearm, was in the city of his fiancée’s parents. The couple had planned to get married in March.

As Heny lay on life support Wednesday, current and former teammates talked about how he had rebuilt his life and career in a three-year climb from a series of off-field problems. He was on the sidelines at Paul Brown Stadium back on Dec. 6 when the Bengals beat the Lions, 23-13. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth talked to him and said he sounded good.

“Chris is Chris. He’s personable with his guys, but quiet,” Whitworth said Wednesday night. “You could tell he missed being out there with us. He was supportive. He’s a big part of what we are. I really admire how he carries himself, how he’s changed his life, and how he’s made his career his passion. That’s what this team has done. He’s one of the guys that has helped give this team that attitude. We’re worried about him and praying for him.”

Until he got hurt after catching a 20-yard pass, Henry, 26, was starring in one of the best comeback stories in the NFL.

He left the Baltimore game with 12 catches for 236 yards, two touchdowns and a 19.7-yard per catch average that reflected his unique and enormous skill at making big plays downfield. But it doesn’t even begin to tell the story.

After four arrests, three NFL suspensions, and a release from the Bengals in April 2008, Henry put his life back together with Loleini Tonga and their three children in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming.

“He’s had an offseason like no other; he’s worked here every single day,” quarterback Carson Palmer said back in May. “He has a great attitude. I’m just really proud of the guy. I’m happy for him. He’s at a good place in his life, a good place for his family. He’s showed up to work here and he will all year long. There’s not a doubt about that.”

Palmer had been one of Henry's biggest boosters in an organization that had been routinely criticized for giving him a second chance, led by Bengals president Mike Brown. Henry is one of the reasons that Brown decided to let the Bengals be filmed by the HBO series Hard Knocks.

“Chris Henry is a good example. If you knew him only by hearsay you would think he is some kind of ogre,” Brown said back in July. “It’s not true. He’s a good person. When you see him up close, you’ll find that you’ll like him. He’ll be soft spoken and a pleasant person. People who understand him to be different (will) now know better. The same is true of other people. We have a lot of good guys. They’re interesting as personalities as well as players and if that comes through in this program I think that helps the Cincinnati Bengals.”

Henry racked up spectacular numbers in his first two seasons in the league, when he scored 15 touchdowns on 67 catches for a stunning ratio of a touchdown every 4.5 catches. His career numbers of 119 catches for 15.3 yards per catch during five seasons represent the seventh best yards per catch average in team history among players with as many catches.

But his journey back had been even more riveting. After the first practice of training camp, Henry was seen holding one of his children.

“I love spending time with my kids,” Henry said. “I was living like I was still in college, you know?”

As he waited by his phone Wednesday night, former Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson thought about Henry fighting for his life and the people with the Bengals that also fought for his life when he was on the comeback trail. He thought about Rusty Guy, the club’s director of security, and Ray Oliver, the associate strength and conditioning coach.

And Brown.

“A lot of teams would have just thrown him away,” Anderson said. “You can say a lot about the Bengals, positive and negative. But you have to commend what Mike Brown and the Bengals did for this kid. They believed in him and it turned out that’s what he needed. We’re all pulling for Chris. He’s been through so much.”

Former Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh got a text Wednesday when he got off the practice field in Seattle and he still couldn’t believe it a few hours later. A lot of times, the text would have been from Henry, asking about the collective bargaining agreement or if he should take an endorsement from Reebok or some other issue.

“Unbelievable. Unbelievable. To go through all that and to have this happen to you?” Houshmandzadeh asked. “He’s turned the corner. He’s been doing it the right way. I don’t care if he comes back to play football, I just want him to see his kids grow up to be young men and women.”

Houshmandzadeh got a text from Henry when he broke his arm and Houshmandzadeh advised him that if he did his rehab he would be fine. He also counseled him to stay with the Bengals if he becomes a free agent after this season.

“He realized when he got cut and no one called what he had to do,” Houshmandzadeh said. “And when he got hurt, he was playing well. He didn’t have the distractions.”

Former Bengals defensive tackle John Thornton had hoped for a speedy recovery because he thought Henry could save more lives.

During the last season of his career in 2008, Thornton watched Henry morph into a different person and he was so impressed that when he retired and began helping players with their community endeavors he approached Henry.

“I think he has a great story to tell kids and that’s what he wants to do,” Thornton said early Thursday morning. “He said he wanted to go into the city and talk to them about his experiences and how they could avoid it. It’s something that we haven’t been able to sit down and complete, but he’s made the effort. I’m hoping he pulls through because he’s a guy that really has changed his life around.”

Thornton, a fellow West Virginia product, saw Henry on the sidelines at the WVU game at the University of Cincinnati last month and what he remembers is when Loleini couldn’t get on the sidelines with them, Henry asked a state trooper if he could get her on the field.

“He’s really into his family,” Thornton said

whats peoples thinkin on the colts and saints..should the rest there starters for the last few games or should they go all out for 16-0 season?

i think they should go all out for it by resting players i think they risk losing the momentum and form that they have built up throughout the season and it would be madness for two teams to finish 16-0

watched this good video the other day of farve miked up for a game..very good.. the man just loves to play football

the bengals vs jets will be very interesting it will be a big boost to whoever wins that as they will know they have beaten a tough opponent.i havent seen too much of either lately so i dont know who will win this one.

eagles @ dallas
i would like to see tony "choke" romo f**k up again ,there form has been to good through december for me whats happened to there regular crap when romo throws a billion int and gets sacked everygame for fun i dont like it one bit :D.but i think the cowboys form will see them through this one :eek: it will be a close game the eagles are playin good aswell but i think dallas will have too much. I think dallas will win this one.

sunday ravens @ pats. as a pats fan im really looking forward to this one i can see it goin either way especially as welker is bunched after last week but the pats are well known for getting on without big players and still producing an of course any team with brady in the playoffs has a chance the man is unreal. through obvious bias i will pick the pats in this one :p

i hope you beat the ravens i hate them big time,my mate wont be too happy if it happens AFC is lookin tough to win this year

[mushypea]

Whats the odds on the Eagles turning Dallas over?

I actually think they can catch the cowboys out this week.

[LFC_Mark]

i hope you beat the ravens i hate them big time,my mate wont be too happy if it happens AFC is lookin tough to win this year

yeah its shaping up nicely alright..i think the chargers are looking good to win the whole lot though,its took them a few years but they finally look ready and rivers is on fire at the right time as well.this is there biggest chance, i think LT will be fired up for them aswell which im lookin forward to seeing.the great thing about it though out of the teams left you could easily make a case for 5 or six teams that can realistically go on and win it

[john gotti]

Jets to beat the Bengals. They hammered them to the point of embarrassment last time out

[TubbyReina]

5/3 to win & 10/11 (+4) to win also with paddy powers

did you see the team the bengals put out,they were through anyway,believe me it will be different this week espesh at the Paul Brown Stadium,the jungle will be ready for this

[john gotti]

Nah man Mark Sanchez is gonna announce himself to the world on this road to the superbowl

[TubbyReina]

the vikes with favre & peterson look very tough also,
then you got the saints also,
think its gonna be a colts vikings superbowl

[john gotti]

with the vikings to finally win! Jared Allens mullet deserves the superbowl alone!

[LFC_Mark]

the vikes with favre & peterson look very tough also,
then you got the saints also,
think its gonna be a colts vikings superbowl

yeah but the vikes finished the reagular season not on top form and the road record is very bad.

the colts will have to pass the pats to do that hope your wrong :D

[scousepaddy]

Colts all the way!! peyton is unreal!! they will outscore anyone! they look lik etey will score on every drive

[JamesM]

Jets to beat the Bengals. They hammered them to the point of embarrassment last time out

and that was with Sanchez only throwing 65 yards, RB's ran amuk...

fancy the overs on Packers and Cowboys games..

[JamesM]

can someone check odds on the chargers for me there please to win the whole thing. Now that the season is over and the bucs are finished i need an interest in playoffs..

[mushypea]

5/3 to win & 10/11 (+4) to win also with paddy powers

Thats worth a punt or two.
Colts to go all the way for me. Just cant see them being outscored by anyone who's even at their best right now.

[looprevil]

Hopefully we'll get to see a Colts-Saints super bowl after the Start that both teams had this year!! I Know both teams lost the last couple of games but that was due to resting the main stars in their teams. Brees against Manning be tough to pick a winner

[sean]

Will be having a few quid on all of Bengals/Patriots/Packers/Cowboys to come through the weekend. With our game now off I'll be recording the Eagles @ Cowboys and plan to settle into a few bottles around midday on Sunday in front of the fire to watch it.

That would be great, although if the Vikings creeped in it would be great too.
Was at the Bears Vikings match last week.
It was so cold...but really exciting.
Seeing Favre and Peterson in theflesh was amazing.


I love this game.

[serpheus]

Nice to see the packers still in it, used to be my team a few years ago.

[paddy cork]

my question is how come(in temps of-10 or more and major snow) games are never postponed in the nfl and over here games are off left, right and centre!

[trucker]

Patriots gona really miss Wes Wellker, apparently there was a massive swing in the betting when it was confirmed he's out for season, hes been brilliant all season.

[Alex Raisbeck]

Patriots gona really miss Wes Wellker, apparently there was a massive swing in the betting when it was confirmed he's out for season, hes been brilliant all season.

With or without him, I dont really think the Pats were ever going to be in it this year. (Though I could yet been proved wrong).
Too many people thought Brady could pick up where he left off, and while he's done well, there have been other players who have left the roster and others who've just grown old since the 08 vintage.

[Alex Raisbeck]

my question is how come(in temps of-10 or more and major snow) games are never postponed in the nfl and over here games are off left, right and centre!

Because in the areas where it happens they are used to dealing with them conditions and have contingency plans in place.
Here we don't.

[Aido82]

NY Jets first team through the playoffs

[john gotti]

did you see the team the bengals put out,they were through anyway,believe me it will be different this week espesh at the Paul Brown Stadium,the jungle will be ready for this

Sanchez is going all the way baby!!!:p

[john gotti]

also Dallas are absoultly slaughtering the Eagles going into the 4th

[mushypea]

Honestly thought Dallas were going to bottle it again. Great to see the rookie QB do so well for the jets too.

Still the colts for me though. As much as id like to see the Pats produce their form from 2 years ago think Brady & co are a bit off the pace & yeah welker is huge loss.

I've got the roast on, the beers in the fridge & the heating up nicely so thank God for Wildcard weekend after the postponements!

[TubbyReina]

Sanchez is going all the way baby!!!:p

now you know why its 19 years since the bengals won in a playoff:(:(
bloody bottlers

[DanMur]

colts are the team to beat, but after last night and the form they have been in lately dallas look dangerous and will give the vikings a good game

[mushypea]

Baltimore go 14-0 up against Pats in first 5 mins of play. WTF????

[sean]

Baltimore go 14-0 up against Pats in first 5 mins of play. WTF????

The panel on Sky Sports have been backing the Ravens since yesterday's coverage started - Patriots no longer the franchise they were 2 or 3 years ago.

[mushypea]

Yeah but for me when you have Brady you've always got a chance. I still fancy them tonight.

[Aido82]

Yeah but for me when you have Brady you've always got a chance. I still fancy them tonight.

wanna bet, no chance at all, brady not at it today

[TubbyReina]

not even the 1st quarter over and 24-0 :eek::eek:
didnt expect the ravens to raise to this level

[Aido82]

24-0 in first quauter in the pats back yard

[trucker]

not even the 1st quarter over and 24-0 :eek::eek:
didnt expect the ravens to raise to this level

It was more patriots mistakes paddy, brady had a nightmare 10 minutes

[Raven136]

i just need Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald and my accumaltor comes through.

On a side note,go my J.E.T.S.Great win and two excellent rookie performances last night.Colts is a huge step up but the best defence and best runnning team in the league will give it a shot.

Im starting to get worried that the Pats might take this one in the last quarter

[Aido82]

game over 33-14 ravens

[Raven136]

3 down one to go.Bradys numbers were awful in this game and that team needs some serious work.
C'mon the Cardinals!!!!

[Alex Raisbeck]

As I said yesterday, this is far from the Patriots of 2-5 years ago.

[mushypea]

wanna bet, no chance at all, brady not at it today

Yeah how wrong was I? Credit to Ravens but the Pats were a major let down. Brady, Moss....no one showed up.

[Aido82]

Hope ya didn't have money onit

[Raven136]

packers not at the races yet,their defence which has been excellent in recent games is being torn by Warner,he is 9of 11 so far with over 100 yards and only the 2nd quarter.

[TubbyReina]

It was more patriots mistakes paddy, brady had a nightmare 10 minutes

ah well rich just like me youre gonna have to wait another 8 months to see a game,carson palmer was the same last night

[Raven136]

ah well rich just like me youre gonna have to wait another 8 months to see a game,carson palmer was the same last night

i disagree to an extent with yourself and truckers comments blaming the losses on the qb's.Both teams were up against fierce running games and lethal defences.You are almost in awe watching the Jets blitz and the Ravens D just blew the New England line away.
Chad Ochocinco and Randy Moss were both shut down by amazing defensive players and Ochocino by the defensive MVP imo.
the Ravens mixture of Blitzes and Fall back destroyed Brady and when his best receiver is constantly covered and welker is not there for the out what could he do?
The ravens should have beaten New England in the regular season and when the Patriot line couldnt stop them rushing for over 200 yards then a win was not out of the ordinary.Why they let go someone like Seymour amazes me.

Palmer was poor but the amazing amount of overload pressure blitzes brought by the best defence in the league left him nowhere to go.The Bengals only have chad ochocinco and when Revis schooled him there is literally no other receivers.

Its been a great weekend for the underdog and a great weekend betwise(so far with a quarter still to go) for me.Roll on next week.

[sean]

Cracking game between the Packers and Cardinals going on right now, Packers right back in it being just 1 TD behind after looking out of it for a long time. 31-38 with 14 mins to go.

[Aido82]

all tied up
great game, packers have the momentum now

edit

cardinals with a td and conversion, 45-38
best nfl game in tv for a while

[john gotti]

its been a helll of a game really has it was over and the packers really steped it up, so far id say dallas look the storngest comming out of the play offs

[Skintown Red]

These defences are worse than ours at corners;)

Good game all the same. Been flicking but am I right in thinking there has only been one punt each in the whole game?

There's another TD 45 each

[Aido82]

tied again

great game, least this game hasnt had one team up by 20 points by ht (although the cards were 17 up :) )

[sean]

45-45 now, defences are shocking but great to watch. Only 1 min 50 to go but can see Cardinals winning before going to OT seeing as they have possession and Packers defence have yet to show up tonight.

[Skintown Red]

Holy shit can't believe he missed that. OT here we come

[rafalabamba]

Brilliant game your man absolutely sliced that kick both defenses are pure muck so im backing packers they have possesion for ot

[Aido82]

cardinals win

blitz caught the qb off and cards robbed the ball into a empty end zone

OK bed time

[Skintown Red]

cardinals win


OK bed time

Indeed absolutely bucked.

Glad the Cards won but it is a bit rough on Rodgers

[LFC_Mark]

jaysus sick i didnt watch this game now..turned off the tv after the pats game in disgust :mad:

[byrnetred]

fell asleep at 12:20 in my drunkin state, gutted i missed the end off it

hopefully repeated on sky later today

[trucker]

ffs fell asleep before final quarter!!

[JamesM]

same as myself Trucker, thought the Cardinals were easily ahead...

Backed the 4 overs the weekend and all came up good, only singles though.

Put a few quid on Chargers at 4/1 too,,,Roll on next weekend..:)

[mushypea]

FFS i missed the last quarter & forgot to check score this morning. Sounds like it was a cracker but both defences must have gone on the missing list just like Randy Moss did for the Pats earlier!!

Colts baby. All the way.

[TubbyReina]

so whats every 1s predictions this weekend?
im goin with colts,vikings,saints and chargers

[byrnetred]

so whats every 1s predictions this weekend?
im goin with colts,vikings,saints and chargers

hard to look past those 4 progressing but if there are going to be any upsets it will be in nfc

[sean]

Colts, Cowboys, Cardinals and Chargers all to come out on top for me this weekend.

49er's will host Bronco's at Wembley at the end of October for anyone who didn't hear. Expect another International Series game to be announced in the next 2 weeks.

[Aido82]

so whats every 1s predictions this weekend?
im goin with colts,vikings,saints and chargers

favourites certian to progess, although cardinals could create an upset

[Raven136]

Jets,Cardinals,Colts,Cowboys are my picks for various reasons.This is a great matchup for the Jets.

[Aido82]

two late nights in a row

[byrnetred]

two late nights in a row
its playoff season you should be match fit by now:)

[Raven136]

Best time of the year for an American Football fan.

Jets secondary and their running game to be the difference here,if its close at half time the combination of Jones and Greene to run all over the chargers,they cannot stop the run.

Cowboys will be too good on both their offensive and defensive lines for the Vikings.Peterson has not had a good game the past 2 months.

Colts will tough it out as any team with Manning will and injuries have cleared up a bit but the Ravens defence will really test them

Saints lost their last 3 games and since they beat the Patriots have looked awful.Should be a shootout and the Cardinals and Warner have the big game mentality and the better receivers combo.

reggie bush is sick

its about time he has been,saints look great and i was totally wrong

[LFC_Mark]

its about time he has been,saints look great and i was totally wrong

i thought it would be alot closer than this though they look like scoring on every drive it could get alot worse for the cards but then again the cards defence werent around vs green bay last week either

[LFC_Mark]

ravens put together a good drive there in response to the colts..should be a good game this

[mushypea]

I missed the saints cards game coz of some p0xy chic flic but missus gone to bed now! Just got the score. How impressive did the saints look?

Just turning on colts game now.

Just turning on colts game now.

saints looked like they have done most of this season..on fire on offence reggie bush in inspired form capped off with 85 or 86 yard punt return..they will be a very tough team to beat maybe taken the foot off in the last few regular season games has served them well

yeah, probly cos its been a good close game not a runaway like the last game

[LFC_Mark]

yeah i was thinkin that meself lads..loads time left for manning to get another score before the break.

Jets/Chargers is an interesting game,chargers have all the offence so far but the Jets is keeping it close

[Raven136]

JETS JETS JETS.My jets win the game and beat the chargers and move on to the divisional championship game against the Colts.Bring em on

[rafalabamba]

31/10 the jets were before the game, i was within a few clicks of backing them but instead lost money on poker:o ah well glad for the jets hope they get to the bowl now

[john gotti]

I told yall, Sanchez is goin to the superbowl, bring on the colts!!!!

[rafalabamba]

dont know if they'll be able to stop manning, rivers was sh!te for the chargers tonight and was one of the reasons jets were able to win, peyton wont be fcuking up like that!

its no coincedence that all these top QB's all season are playing poor against the lunatic blitzes of the Jets.

Foget Brady and Rivers we have the clutch QB,the Sanchise rolls on.

Smug **** he is!

Jackson dropping the ball for the freak int and Kaeding being a bottling ****wit got them through, if Manning plays like he did yesterday he'll find holes all over the place.

Backed the colts at 13/10 for the big one at Boyles a few minutes ago, so watch the jesters piss me off now :P

[elvis]

I reckon the saints will win the super bowl,. I'd like to them vs the Vikings,.

[JamesM]

If the Jets make the Superbowl it will be the most borning in along time. Fingers crossed the COlts stuff them...

I'm a little bitter as had a few quid on Chargers to win the whole thing

"its not the match up people wanted but tough,here come the Jets deal with it"

Gotta love the d of the jets

[mushypea]

Old man Farve to go to superbowl against the Colts for me. Think thats a classic in the making & one i certainly wouldnt click a bet on if it happens!

Im sticking with my early backing of The Colts though. I can see Manning handling the Jets blitz a hell of a lot better than mouthy Rivers did.

not bad at all !

[TubbyReina]

gonna be 2 great games tonight,should be at least 1 upset to the favorites

[sean]

Yeah looking forward to these games alright, particularly the second one in New Orleans. Gonna be a late one!

[LFC_Mark]

really looking forward to the saints vs vikes game..would have been class if they were able to meet in the superbowl but tonight will be some game

[Raven136]

if anyone gets a decent stream for the jets can they post it up please.J.E.T.S. jets jets jets.

[mushypea]

Really dont know who id like to see make it to super bowl. Thats how good tonights games could potentially be.

I'd like to see the old man take the vikings but i think the saints with Brees are as good as anyone on their day.

The Jets defence is on fire at the minute but they really have their work cut out to stop The Colts. Manning is one of the best QB's of his generation & i think he's gonna take them all the way.

I reckon it doesnt really matter who comes through tonight because we're in for a great Super Bowl with any two of these teams.

[Aido82]

colts v saints in final

[Raven136]

anyone got a good stream,mine died

[LFC_Mark]

Good half of football there.really enjoying this game

great minds an all that what :D

[Raven136]

I lov Farve but i want to see the Saints in the big one.All the rebuilding after Katrina and players like Bush and Bree's giving so much.No other team in the game means as much to their city as the Saints do and for that reason i want them to win it.

Despite him going to be on a losing Jet team big props to Sanchez,he has been perfect tonight and has a huge future ahead of him as does this Jets team.If i was a patriot fan i would be worried about the youth of the Jets

[LFC_Mark]

yeah definatly sanchez has a great future ahead of him.watever happens here its been a good season for the jets they will be tougher to beat next year.

i am a pats fan and im slightly worried :p

[mushypea]

My heart says vikings simply for Farve but my head says saints final with the colts winning it. I think the Colts just beat the most in form defence team & look like champions in waiting.

They never panicked tonight and seem to have the lot right now.
Agree about sanchez. Did himself no harm with that performance bar that last throw just there!

[LFC_Mark]

well thats that then colts are there. what time is kick off in the saints vs vikes game?

[LFC_Mark]

28 - 28 great game in for a great finish

[LFC_Mark]

Goin to OT

[callyno3]

Watched the colts game a couple of hundred yards down the street from the lucas oil stadium on sun, there was a good buzz around the place, missed the second game though.

[Raven136]

Will wait and see what the other Wembley game will be before committing to any potential trip over this year.

no other game next season,just the one,announced by the commisioner two weeks ago i think.
Eventually a franchise will be set up in London but its a long while away yet

[byrnetred]

Will wait and see what the other Wembley game will be before committing to any potential trip over this year.

thats what i was thinking,

going to wait now till the fixtures come out in april cause will most likly make the trip over state side for a game

[looprevil]

no other game next season,just the one,announced by the commisioner two weeks ago i think.
Eventually a franchise will be set up in London but its a long while away yet

I heard that there was definitely a 2nd game to be played in London next year also. will wait to have this confirmed before ill buy a ticket for the 49ers match.

[Raven136]

there is definitely no 2nd game due to the collective bargaining agreement with the players union and the cost of staging a game in london.Roger Goddell and the league announced this 2 weeks ago.

[Shay]

there is definitely no 2nd game due to the collective bargaining agreement with the players union and the cost of staging a game in london.Roger Goddell and the league announced this 2 weeks ago.

I'm think this is correct aswell, i'm 99% sure I heard the commentator say the same on Sky one of the nights I was watching it

[JamesM]

Raven is correct, there is 100% no 2nd game, bought my tickets on Monday.

Can't wait...

Wheres everyone watching the Superbowl??

[mushypea]

I'll be at home watching it with the girlfriend. Pizza, nacho's, beer & we're good to go!

[Raven136]

Get your predictions in for the superbowl!

Colts are 4 point favourites and its hard to argue with it.Would love to see the Saints win,for all the Katrina stuff and the way they represent their community like no other team in the NFL.

Manning is amazing against the Blitz and finds a way to out fox any defence and will again on Sunday.They may have beaten Farve up 2 weeks ago but the saints defence did not work against him,he had nearly 400 yards of offence and Manning will do the same.

Colts by a tounchdown for me,althought freeney if he is out is a massive loss.

[elvis]

Can't wait for it, going to proper americanize it, hotdogs,popcorn, icecream, nachos, fries, burgers, chips and dips, pork grinds, and lite beer and JD,. Might go with normal beer instead! Watching the game on a big projection screen, should be awesome!

I would like to see the saints win,. But I'll go for the colts, field goal to win it!

[byrnetred]

im going with the saints on this one, 31-27

case of becks is already cooling in the fridge:cool:

[up the pool]

saints to win drew brees mvp!!!

i knew it pitty i didnt back it up with a bet!!

[JamesM]

Colts by 10

Austin Collie first TD...

[Aido82]

yeah thats a great spot, was there for australia day,. deadly craic,.

[Raven136]

31-24 to the Colts is my prediction anyhow.Time to hit the hay for a few hours rest and be ready for later.Cant wait,should be a shootout.

[TubbyReina]

gonna be a win for the colts 27-16

[rafalabamba]

think manning is to good a QB for the saints to get anything out of the game wouldent write them off though gonna be close, saints are only 7/4 so they have a good chance

[rafalabamba]

pre game show here: http://streamsdirect.com/forum/view.php?pg=streampage

Just had me power nap, got the supplies in all ready to go now

beers in fridge and gonna order a pizza soon enough

[Alex Raisbeck]

Beers in the ice bucket.
Pizza eaten, chips and dips check.

Bring it on baby!

[Raven136]

awful start for the saints,need to get moving and their recievers need to get separation quickly.Could be a blowout unless they get a grip on the game

[carpe diem]

colts playing some great offence though,that 96 yard drive was a thing of beauty

[babbsnads]

Saints need to get more pressure on manning.don't think their tactic of extra coverage is gonna work

[Raven136]

Saints need to get more pressure on manning.don't think their tactic of extra coverage is gonna work

prerssure doesnt work on manning,best qb in the league facing a blitz defence.The jets ruffled him only twice and we are the best defence in the league,while the saints rank 26th total

[carpe diem]

great defence by the colts at the end of the half

[Raven136]

it was a good call by the saints just excellent d by the colts.Saints need to keep it the same till the half

[babbsnads]

Your probably right but we'll see how it pans out.the guy on BBC said the 49ers had some success against the colts with that tactic

[Raven136]

Your probably right but we'll see how it pans out.the guy on BBC said the 49ers had some success against the colts with that tactic

did the niners and the bills not sit back on manning,only sending max 3 men in pressure and stickin tight on recievers
well set up for a good 2nd half

Sorry I should have been clearer when I was talking about the guy on BBC I meant he agreed with you.you seem to know your stuff.myself on the other hand am still a bit of a novice but I've really got into it this season.I still have my football head on when I'm talking about pressure.

[Alex Raisbeck]

On side kick...I like!

[Aido82]

onside kick at start of 2nd half

Their keeping manning off the pitch, its the only way to beat the colts

[Raven136]

saints head coach has balls the size of watermelons,fortune favours the brave.

[Aido82]

this isnt in the script

[babbsnads]

Well deserved. Great courage
