Da Bears win! Next stop the Superbowl 

First time that the Raiders were favourites for 27 games, so it was only ever going to be a Bears win

It was a topsy-turvy game, where the lead kept changing hands. When we held you to a field goal with over 2 minutes left I was reasonably confident we'd win, but then a lot les confident when we were at 4th and about 5!

I went for a wander around at half time on Sunday and stood for a while overlooking Olympic Way.

I was amazed at the number of people already heading back towards the Tube

Well, it is a long game

Two quarters = two halves?

Maybe they never went into the game in the first place and were just there soaking up the atmosphere?

I'll be at the 3rd International Series game; Lions @ Chiefs.

Will they sell Chicago Bears merchandise there? Last time I went (Bears @ Buccs) I can only remember seeing merchandise from the 2 teams that were playing.

Nope, most of them were carrying the flags that were on all the seats

There's a bid merchandise tent that I think sells some stuff from most teams. However the line to get in is normally huge.

Other than a programme, I don't bother buying at Wembley. Order online for a better choice and cheaper prices

Giants TE Daniel Fells has MRSA and may have to have his foot amputated.

Good sign for the Packers that they can still win comfortably, even when Rodgers has a poor day.

Was close and you had a bit of luck that Shields wasn't called for holding the Rams receiver in the end zone right before half-time, but you seem to be a good all-round team now, your Def. is doing well as well as Rodgers and Co. on Offence.

Pleased that Da Bears won in spite of having most of our Offensive Line, Receiving Core and a large chuck of our Defence out. Not so pleased that Jamaal Charles is out when I'm going to see the Lions - Chiefs game.

Same here, plus I was expecting to see a game between two play-off contenders and right now the Lions are stinking the place out.

At least that last bit means Da Bears might not finish 4th in the NFC North again! Chiefs have struggled more than I thought they would. Broncos look a sure bet to take that division.

Hopefully Megatron will be playing. He was out injured the last time the Lions were over

Crazy end to the Chargers-Steelers game last night.  If you have it recorded to watch later, skip the first 3 quarters.

I lost my Fantasy match up with zero seconds of the week remaining by 0.35 points as my opponent had Bell.

If it makes you feel better the officials have admitted that they made a mistake with the clock for the game. There should have been about 18 seconds more time.

I thought the 49ers - Giants game was really close, 49ers defender just missed out on making an interception that probably would have meant them winning, instead they lost.
