But as always with the Pats there's a new controversy right around the corner. Not that the Pats will ever be seriously sanctioned for it of course, they never are.

There must be a lot of money in Boston as their teams are seemingly untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 31 December, 2015 Share Posted 31 December, 2015 I see that Chip has been fired then, much ado about nothing I suppose, expected him to do a lot better than he actually has. Mind you with his revolving door QB and RB policies I guess there's no real surprise. Whatever gave him the idea of trading Foles for Bradford is anyone's guess.

Window Cleaner Posted 11 January, 2016 Share Posted 11 January, 2016 (edited) Superb Owl predictions? I'll go for Pats vs Panthers. Steelers-Seahawks, one of the ugliest matches ever seen. They both seem to have the kind of luck or good fortune that you just can't discount. Edited 11 January, 2016 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSaint Posted 15 January, 2016 Share Posted 15 January, 2016 Off to my first NFL game in Phoenix tomorrow, essentially on behalf of my son who's a diehard Green Bay Packers fan. Not sure exactly what to expect in terms of atmosphere and curious how many visiting mingling fellow fans there will be. I know that Green Bay have fans everywhere and Phoenix is a transient sort of place especially around this time of year, where there's a lot of displaced 'snowbirds'. Don't expect to win this one after the Cardinals took them apart a few weeks ago, but the tickets were relatively cheap and it's only a four hour drive. Go Pack Go.

Well that was one interesting finish. Pack had totally screwed that up, only to get out of jail, thanks to Palmer's inability to run the clock down and then that amazing last play. But then to let Fitzgerald run 75 yards on the 1st play. :mcinnes::( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to anything generating that much noise, amazing what a closed roof and 78000 can do. And then you could hear a pin drop moments before the ref delivered the verdict on the final play of normal time. Good banter between opposing sets of fans too.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 28 January, 2016 Share Posted 28 January, 2016 I don't follow NFL that closely at all but watched the 2014 Superbowl and backed Denver on the strength of all the guff I had read about how great Peyton Manning was. What a crock of crap that turned out to be. Just don't get how a guy that performs so badly under pressure has such a great reputation. Reminds me of Rooney - quality for sure, but rarely delivers on the big occasion, and never on the big occasion in an England shirt. Got a horrible feeling Manning is going to get exposed again in Superbowl 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a horrible feeling Manning is going to get exposed again in Superbowl 50. A bit unfair on Manning who turns 40 in March. If you've only followed his recent progress, that's a poor sample size and ignores his mid-noughties body of work. Even last season's meltdown can be partly attributed to a freak injury rather than his age-ridden noodle arm given how he exploded out of the blocks. True he's always been a postseason bottler, even in his transcendent years, though that doesnt mean his reputation is overrated. As far as analogies go, Gerrard seems more fitting than Rooney. Anyway, here's hoping the Panthers smash the Broncos. Edited 28 January, 2016 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 30 January, 2016 Share Posted 30 January, 2016 Panthers seem to be making a habit of getting out of the blocks quick and sticking 10-20 points on the opposition by half time. Seattle did it in a Superbowl a couple of years ago - who was that against again? Peyton will have thrown the towel in and be playing short pass damage limitation by Q3 like last time.
