The NFL Thread

Stiles · 01-07-2007, 06:44 PM

Were now down to the business side of the season in the NFL. We have had a few shocks so far this year. Firstly the Colts defence have shown how shakey they are against the run. The Saints have shocked us all by not only getting into this part of the season but also doing so well they get a Bye to the next round. They are now only a two wins away from the Super Bowl.

Ed's (Misterpeng) team (Denver Broncoes) failed to get to the post season. Which i shall be teasing him about tomorrow. My team (New England Patriots) have looked decent so far, Recieving has been our weakness. But as always Tom Brady has been amazing. The guy is just my god.

Last night we saw the Seattle Seahawks beat the Dallas Cowboys and the Colts beating the Kansas City cheifs putting those two teams through.

From the AFC we have the San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens recieve Byes. With either The Patriots or NY Jets joining them. (As we speak New England are 7-0 up after 13minutes of the first quaters)

In the NFC the Saints and Chicago Bears recieving Byes. Last nights results saw Seattle join them and either Philly Eagles or NY Giants joining them. They play tonight.

So whats your take or the season so far. And who is going to the Superbowl?

I like a lot of people had a brief flirtation with American Football in the 80's I followed the Chicago Bears I remember William "the fridge" Perry leading them to the sperbowl but they have been rubbish ever since. This has been their best season for years although I did see they were thrashed by Green Bay last week though hopefully they were taking it easy as they had already qualified for the play-offs.

I've started watching it casually and have been frustratede by the amoutn of times they stop. Although it is a fairly good sport to watch in the Winter

Matt the Thrasher · 01-07-2007, 07:08 PM

I agree thats why I gave up watching it, a highlights package is good to watch but I couldn't watch a whole game live just too many stoppages.

Agreed the Highlights are good the day after. Im still watching my Beloved Patriots its now the 4th Quater. I think its fine watching it. Obviously i'd rather it be continuoes but the way America is, they need the comercials dont they.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-07-2007, 10:23 PM

One thing wfootball could nick from the NFL is mikes for the ref? what you think

Matt the Thrasher · 01-08-2007, 09:00 AM

I think it would be a good idea ,I think refs are miked up in Rugby these days so why not football.

Worksop_Owl · 01-08-2007, 01:55 PM

It is an amazing sport and i am a PAT!! myself however i rarely watch the games or even know the scores. I wud like to but i just couldnt b arsed. watched it in USA but it was a little confusin until i played MADDEN !!!! which is absolutley amazing, i wish i hadnt solt it now. must but it bak.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-08-2007, 08:57 PM

Matt the Thrasher · 01-10-2007, 11:31 PM

I've not got a clue but I'll go for Ravens, Saints, Bears & Patriots to go through.

gmanr26 · 01-11-2007, 07:18 PM

Ravens vs. Saints

and

Bears vs. Chargers

to bring a superbowl of Bears vs. Saints

Misterpeng CFC · 01-12-2007, 09:33 AM

As my beloved Broncos couldnt get the results to go through

! I think the final may include the bears and the patriots!! though i cant see the colts losing!! Should be good whatever the outcome!!

Yes the referees in football (english) should wear mic's, though they do at the moment but only to talk to the other officials (which is a good start!!).

goldenHuddlestone · 01-12-2007, 11:35 PM

Would be interesting to see the managers with mic's too. Dont think theyd comply though

Stiles · 01-13-2007, 01:38 AM

Have to have a guy with a censor button ready.

Matt the Thrasher · 01-14-2007, 09:01 AM

Saturdays play off results:

Colts 15-6 Ravens
Saints 27 - 24 Eagles

So as our colonial cousins would say I'm 1 for 2 so far.

Stiles · 01-14-2007, 02:43 PM

I was very surprised at the Saints/Eagles result. However i thought the Colts could do the job at Baltimore.

COME ON PATRIOTS TONIGHT!!!!

Matt the Thrasher · 01-14-2007, 10:27 PM

Chicago Bears 27-24 Seattle Seahawks (ot)

The Bears beat the Seahawks in overtime and will meet the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship match.

Incidentaly in the 80's the NFC champions always won the superbowl now it's the AFC , guess it's ciclical.

Stiles · 01-15-2007, 01:44 AM

PATRIOTS!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW

I cant believe we beat the Chargers. What a game. Heart was in my mouth all the match. When we conceded two touchdowns in the first half i thought we was in trouble. But we got a touchdown right before the half and i think that helped us.

21-24 victory to New England. Wow!!!!

Misterpeng CFC · 01-15-2007, 10:15 AM

Well someone had to beat the F***ers!! It seems the have done what could not!! Well Done!!!!
