The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Go Steelers!!  What an experience that was....tailgaiting in the snow, wearing 12 layers of clothes and getting pissed as a fart.

Feel absolutely dreadful this morning, but it was worth it.

I can't believe that there's still a chance that we'll hear........"Your Superbowl Champion Arizona Cardinals" !!

I have a bit of a dilemma next week. I'm an Eagles fan but back in the early season I put a bet on the Cards (at 25-1) for the Superbowl. At least whoever wins, this year I'll have a team in the final who I REALLY want to win the title!

I would only suggest not watching it.

That is why I can never bet on sports, play in a faantasy league or do anything where I may even slightly be tempted to root for someone who is not an eagle.

No, not watching aint an option. When I placed the bet the Eagles weren't looking like they had much chance of even making the play-offs, never mind reaching the championship game! I obviously never envisaged this scenario happening, but I'll be cheering on the big birds on Sunday and if they lose then I'll at least have the consolation of the Cards hopefully winning the Bowl after that.

hmmm, the Fridge doesn't look good - unlike the woman interviewing him.

Could be an all Pennsylvania final

So pleased the Eagles are on the brink again, amazing after the early season poor form. I lived in Philly in the 70s, suburb called Fox Chase and have followed them ever since...

[pmarachi]

E-A-G-L-E-S!

I couldn't sleep last night I am so excited/ nervous!!

[pmarachi]

Steve Spags leaving the Giants to Coach the Rams?!?!?!


Of all the open jobs out there, the Rams!?!?!

Really???

Sweaty bumcheeks time pmarachi??

it's snowing out right now, and I have been pacing the house since 5am.

I would have had a drink, but I can't even drin today because my hockey team is playing a big game tonight, and playing hockey drunk doesn't work too well...

I am so nervous.

Its Cards crazy out here.
Phoenix has always been a Suns town but everybody and their brother has jumped on the Cards bandwagon.

[sali,salifou]

Youve got to back the Eagles surely. So solid on defense recently, and a more mixed offensive than the two teams the cards have beaten thus far.
Westbrook scored 4tds against them in the regular season IIRC.
Would love to see the ravens win but im afraid big bastard ben might do it

[puppyfeat]

Gutted. Eagles blow it again, but big congrats to the Cards for coming back when they looked dead. And what a game it was!

[sali,salifou]

wow
what a game
I was workin, so relying on updates by txt first from my dad, then from my massive eagles fan mate
managed to get round a mates with 4 mins to go, and fair play to both teams.
Eagles coming back from the dead. but then the cards to come back after losing a big lead, phenomenal
Eagles dropped a couple of clutch passes at the end, but from what i gather, its no time to blame
sport eh? fucking helll
