FFS Steelers! Tampa were utter gash last week!

 

[James]

Woooo Ravens, you've been awesome tonight. Flacco to Steve Smith Sr seems like a good partnership.

 

[James]

FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Nice view, it's a shame they cant emulate the game day experience over here. Tailgating at Ravenstown is bloody good fun especially as an outsider.

Couldn't get any of the fabled EE WiFi and we were in 3rd Tier, 530! Ah well. Are you at the next one?

 

[darlowolf64]

Bear, if you're still about we're in The Moon near Wembley Central having a beer and watching the 49ers game

 

[The Bear]

Yep at the next one. Back at the Premier Inn now.

Great win for the Vikings on Sunday, I didn't see any of it but looking forward to catching some highlights. Sounds like Teddy did well on his first start with over 300 yards, no interceptions and he ran in a TD

It was also a good win for the Ravens against the Panthers. 38-10 win, I was surprised at how easy Flacco and Steve Smith Sr were making it look.

Embarrassing for the Steelers against the Buccaneers who are awful. Turned over possession with 1:44 on the clock in the final quarter and still allowed them the ball back and to score and win the game. Dreadful. Also, 125 yards in penalties. What's that all about?!!

The Wembley game was decent, but just like the 49ers v Jaguars one last year, incredibly one sided. The Raiders were absolutely terrible.

Lions v Falcons should be better in a few weeks time.

The Panthers are awful without Hardy. The whole of NFC South is shit this year unless some drastic decisions are made in Atlanta and New Orleans.

Discipline, they have none. They also have a cocky smug bastard for a coach that doesn't help matters either.

I'm off to the Lions v Falcons game with my other half, really looking forward to it.

Bills were dreadful again this weekend against the Texans and as a result Manuel has been benched with Kyle Orton taking over at QB. Manuel needs time to develop, has good potential but struggling with reading defenses and when under pressure. I hope he bounces back, how he reacts to this will make him or break him.

It's not going to get any easier for the Bills this week either, away at one of the best defences in the league and an in-form Stafford. Megatron still seems to be struggling for them though.

Yep, but with decent QB play the Bills would be 3-1, maybe even 4-0 right now. They have been very, very good everywhere apart from QB. Orton will give them a bit of a spark, hopefully. Not enough to beat the Lions maybe, but I still billieve they can win the AFC East- they've already dismantled the best other team in the division, the Dolphins, 29-10. The Patriots look awful and their schedule is brutal, they will be fortunate to win 3 of their next 9 games, the Jets have a QB who is even worse than EJ Manuel in Geno Smith, so the division is there for the taking IMO. I think a 9-7 or even 8-8 record will be enough to clinch it.

 

[Alan]

Orton is an underrated player, could surprise a few in that Bills team. Sammy Watkins is nigh uncoverable.

This is gonna be a breeze for Green Bay. 14-0 to the good after 10 mins.

Asiata looks decent at RB for Minnesota (he's the cheapo option in my fantasy team this week) but their passing game doesn't look anywhere near good enough.

That's because both Cassel and Bridgewater are injured so fucking Ponder played, who was once again dreadful. Sacked 6 times and 2 interceptions.

Luckily Bridgewaters injury isn't too bad and he should be back next week.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah Ponder was rubbish!

 

[Alan]

Ponder was rubbish becuase the offensive line didn't protect him at all! Once they did he drove the ball right down the field.
