The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Last time Bears played in London we lost to Raiders. The only visit prior to that was a win against the Bucs. Bears had most of the support each time but that was easily the most one-sided of the three.

Did feel a bit sorry for the Jags in that respect as they make the effort to come over every year. I think that's what a lot of the "fuck Green Bay" chanting was about, showing it was pro-Bears rather than anti-Jaguars. Imagine Jacksonville will be better supported next week as the "home" team.

It was the Bucs I went to. For some reason I thought the score was wider but I think I blanked out them scoring twice in the fourth quarter.

Think against Buccs we raved Into a decent lead and they came back into it, so closer score in the end.

Remember Forte scored a brilliant TD, but also got stopped for a safety.

Are the Jags still being touted for the London franchise?
That could be the reason they keep coming over, to drum up support.

If the Jag owner has been able to buy Wembley the I could have seen that happening.

However, when the NFL got involved with the construction of the Spuds stadium that signalled a phasing out of Wembley.

I think that the NFL is happy to just have a handful of games in Europe each season

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, I don't see London getting an NFL team any time soon. Can see the number of international matches continuing to increase.

Oh dear Chicago.....

[cdbearsfan]

Oh you absolute fuckers.

Hell of a last 2 seconds

[Proposition Joe]

Oh you absolute fuckers.

Proving again the Bears are the Villa of the NFL...

I see that the nob who was taunting the crowd before/during the Hail Mary, was the player who tipped the ball to the receiver

Karma's a bitch etc

Went bloody awfully for Da Bears, but I thought it was the most exciting week of the Season so far.

Loads of great games.

Did at least enjoy Aaron Rodgers losing again.

I've still no idea how not one of our players thought it might be a good idea to stand in the endzone.

He did, but then went forward for the block / stop the player from going forward if he caught it, only for 29 to tip it over his head.

Not sure the lad Stevenson will be popular with his coaches after the video of him waving at the opposition fans whilst the final play had already started has gone viral
