I shall continue to spend Sunday nights enjoying the spectacle while not having a fucking clue what's going on.

 

[The Bear]

You'll soon pick it up Trev.

I shall continue to spend Sunday nights enjoying the spectacle while not having a $#@!ing clue what's going on.

If you can follow rugby, gridiron is a snap.

 

[The Bear]

Not a great start for Denver. Two drives, two turnovers conceded.

 

[Carrotdude]

Looks like I missed a good game last night

 

[The Bear]

I missed the 2nd half. Just watching the highlights on Sky right now.

 

[Carrotdude]

Saw something about Cam Newton getting hit a load of times in the head and none of them got punished

 

[The Bear]

He got a helmet to helmet impact in the final quarter but he was fine. He got hit a lot just after throwing the ball throughout the game.

 

[The Bear]

Carson Wentz looking good in his first game.

I hope Dak Prescott does just as well later.

Two TD's and both around 30 yard throws. Makes the Bradford trade look even better value....yes, I know it's the Browns!

Vikes are making up for lack of Offence with 2 defensive TDs. Blair Walsh has missed one short field goal and an extra point but seems to be back on it now, 25-10 up against the Titans after being 10-0 down at half time. Shaun Hill got the nod to start and hasn't been horrible but never likely to throw many TDs.

Elsewhere Brees and Winston both having great games

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Jags. They look decent against a really good team like Green Bay.

Three weeks today I see them at Wembley against the Colts. Very important divisional game too. Should be a good one depending on how Andrew Luck goes this season.

 

[James]

Great start to the season for the ravens and thoroughly enjoyed the Green Bay game on Sky. She was annoyed that I had the TV and the computer watching both games but by the end of the games she was an NFL fan.

 

[Carrotdude]

Raiders Saints game was crazy, massive call to go for 2 at the end by Oakland and it paid off

 

[The Bear]

I couldn't believe that call either! Only JUST worked too thanks to that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the 2pt conversion.

 

[Alan]

Throw for over 400 yards, lead by 24 points with 20 minutes left, and still lose? Yep, same old Saints.

Vikings were horrible first half of the game on both sides of the ball. Really poor.

2nd half was more of the same from last season. Dominant defense, still need to play much better than that but a win on the road is nice to start. Packers and Panthers up next :yikes:

 

[Mixu]

I was genuinely excited about the thought of my Titans moving off the bottom of AFC South this season up until the start of the Third Quarter last night. Then the usual crushing reality set in.

 

[The Bear]

Peterson seemed very quiet for the Vikings.

I'm a big fan of Murray, and Jameis is only going to get better. 4 TDs last night.

The defence needs an upgrade but you should be decent on offence now.
