The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Sensational games yesterday.

That non tackle will haunt that Saints player for the rest of his career you’d think.

Just seen that on You Tube, he just seemed to roll under the Viking's player when all he had to do was bundle him into touch.

He went for the 'Big Hit' he arrived way to early and completely f**ked it up.
Let's not take any credit from the catcher. Kept his focus with the game in his hands.

Pats v Vikes is still on for the Superbowl but based on what I've seen so far in the playoffs, I'm now leaning towards a B&B victory

NFC Championship should hopefully be a close game.

If the Jaguars can get pressure on Brady and not turn the ball over needlessly, then they have chance.

NFC Championship starting even later than the Super Bowl. Wankers.

I don't think you can write off the Jags. Their defence has been fantastic of late (didn't see Steelers game, though)

The referee selected for the Superb Owl is as hated as Howard Webb & Mike Dean - sounds like he's as bent too.

He's called Gene Steratore

Not even going to try and think of anything funny, but, I'm sure there will be a couple of pun anoraks who will

Is one of his colleagues called Superb Gibbon?

It’s a piss-take because IIRC  the NFL prohibits the mention of the big game’s name on radio unless you pay a licensing fee or summat

I’ve been into The NFL since we started getting it on telly but never really picked up on a team until a couple of years ago when I started following the Packers.

I took the chance during the international break to watch them play at Dallas. What a game it was, I was lucky enough to see a classic Aaron Rodgers game winning drive and the whole atmosphere at the stadium was terrific (nothing will ever beat VP on a big day mind).

Being a new arrival to the sport I had no idea of the rivalries that exist between the teams. The anxiety on Packers Fan sites being shown at the chance that the Vikings might get to and host a Super Bowl, never mind win it, is similar to how we felt when B’lose fluked us out of the league cup and somehow went on to win it.

The week after I went to Dallas the Vikings destroyed the Packers season by taking out Aaron Rodgers with a dirty late challenge and in the eyes of many Packers fans have, because of this, stolen our play off place. Being a relative novice to the sport I would venture to suggest that perhaps a team shouldn’t rely entirely on one player so much but that would be being disloyal to my new team and it’s fans.

Anyone else enjoying the first half of Pats v Jags so far?

Yes. I've enjoyed watching Jacksonville this season, hoping they can dump the Pats out.

[andrew08]

Good game so far, pity about the late score though.
