American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

If we had lost to the Vikings I think that was our season effectively over. That just added to the drama. It was quite like a play-off game for us actually. From high to low to high to low to high again in the space of the final 2.5 mins, crazy stuff!!

Our schedule is brutal from here on. We'll do well to make the play-offs from here but if we play well we are capable of holding on to that wildcard berth.

 

24-10 to the Chargers @ Broncos 5 minutes into the third quarter. Possible dark horses to make the Superbowl? Time will tell. I fancy them to hold on for victory here.. Broncos aren't favourites for this year's Superbowl for nothing though...

 

Don't mind the Chargers if I'm honest but Rivers is a * * of a human being,but he is a * quality quarterback none the less

 

He's having some game mate. Wouldn't have a clue about him as a person. Only properly started following NFL this season.

 

Stick with it mate I've been watching it since the old channel 4 coverage began,it hasn't always been easy though I'm a Dolphins fan :smiley-laughing002:

 

Really, really sloppy by the Broncos. First a flag when Chargers were at 4th and 4 and punting from their own endzone. That gave the chargers an automatic first down at their own 12 yd line. Then the Broncos had 12 men on the field for the second time tonight, again handing the Chargers a first down.

 

I love it Prefer watching NFL to football most of the time unless Celtic are playing to be honest.
Decided I was going to support the Ravens since I supported them in the Superbowl last season. Never followed up with that though and have the Chiefs backed at 12/1 52 to win it out this year. I'll probably develop some sort of affinity towards one team or another at some stage :smiley-laughing002:

 

Interception Chargers.. that should be that. 24-17 with 3 minutes to go. Chargers on the Broncos 20. Field goal coming up.

 

Thanks San Diego you complete * legends. 3 wins and the Superbowl goes through Foxborough :icon_mrgreen:

 

Need a hand from Miami to regain control of 1st seed, in saying that I think a gronkless patriots are very beatable in new england

 

Dolphins win 24-20

 

Thank you Miami! I am one happy bronco!

 

From 10-6 last to 3-11 this year. Despair in DC continues. RG III benched. Please fire Shanahan and Allen and bring in a new coach with a real GM. What would it take to get Tony Dungy or Brian Billick? Dan Snyder certainly has the $$$ to pay big....

 

C'mon the Fins

 

What the * happened in dallas? I went to bed at half time confident that was us back in the driving seat for the division and woke up to that 2nd half collapse.

 

Some result for the Vikings....Defence is still pump but delighted with how potent the offense looked. If Cassel had started from the beginning we might have been a little bit more competetive this year. He loves Jennings and seems to have a real chemistry with him. Throw in AP, Kyle Rudolph, Patterson and Simpson and we have the makings of a half decent offense....big off-season for the front office especially if the rumurs are true that Frazier is a goner

 

any of the members from the us or canada ever go thrifting lol, i collect vintage baseball caps, drop me a pm if you do

 

* the Patriots, I actually wanted/needed them to win as the Ravens are up against the Dolphins for the last wildcard spot. Useless *. The Bengals lost too but they are too far ahead I think. Going to be a tough game tonight.

 

Ravens will win the last 3 and be AFC North Champs.
