Flacco should be ashamed of himself. Just awful. He got dragged off towards the end.

Hmmm. Possibly moved us a bit too far forward this year. Oh well good chance of getting a t-shirt this time!

What block is that Bear? Looks pretty close to where we were sat.
Stopped off at O'Neils for a beer before the train and they had red zone on. Right on half time bears block a field goal from about the 20, recover the ball and the guy runs the length of the field but instead of going into the end zone he stops...one yard from the line... he just stands will the prick and a defender gets back and knocks the ball out of his hand and out the back of the end zone. Seriously I'd pull him out of the game and he'd never play for me again the prick

It was Block 121 row 16.

 

[The Bear]

Oh and my mate caught a t-shirt today. One handed like Odell Beckham!!

 

[Carrotdude]

Saw that Bears thing darlo, absolute moron and could cost them the game. Diggs almost did it with his second td today but realised someone was coming and made sure he got in.

Not sure where this Vikes offence performance has come from, Case Keenum is playing great!

Ah the opposite side to us, we are block 140 row 18

OT Mike!

OT Mike!

All over. You win.Strange game.

That 10s runoff rule is very weird.

 

[PuntsWolf]

They wouldn't have been able to get back and do another play in 8 seconds. I'll take the W. -3 on turnovers and still win is good even if we tried our best to throw it away. Detroit didn't do anything on offence all game and even that last drive was gifted by penalties.

That 10s runoff rule is very weird.

If they'd had a T/O left they could have used that to stop the runoff.

As it is, this is the first time I've ever seen the rule used in such an instance. Typically it is implemented to stop a team committing a penalty on purpose in order to stop the clock. For example, a team out of timeouts could purposefully commit a false start penalty because that stops the clock until the ball is reset. The runoff rule prevents that sort of thing.

Woo hoo...did our best to throw the game but a win is a win

Sorry to ask this Mike as it may have been asked and answered before, but how come you are a Bears fan??

 

[The Bear]

Them and Miami were the big teams when on TV over here in the 80s on Channel 4. Maybe that.

Maybe Bear, just interested to know how UK fans came to support the teams they do. For me, living where I have done I've had little choice

 

[The Bear]

I still don't have one team I support. Only like the Steelers due to the Wolves colours!

I like Dallas, Seattle, Green Bay. Can't think who else off the top of my head.

My dislike for the Patriots is growing every season though. Jammy twats tonight as well again.

The Steelers colours were a bonus for me!

Hate the Patriots with a passion too, Baltimore are a very close second for me.

A little of what Bear said, early to mid 80's Bears were one of the big teams but the main reason I picked them is because I love history and was very interested in Prohibition era America, Al Capone and the whole "gangster" period. I loved the idea of Chicago and naturally picked their team (I also follow the Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls!)

 

[Alan]

Houston got robbed. Stills blatantly pushed off from K-Jax on both of his catches on the Pats' final drive. No calls. Typical Patriots bullshit luck.
