Marty good to see you mate. No I'm not really a fan but a couple of weeks ago I was staying in a place with dreadful tv and watched a game for the first time and got to understand it better I'm going to watch it more.
Once you get to grips with what's happening it is very simple, and really fun!
Think my Mrs is almost converted, she was really excited at the end of last nights New England v New Orleans Saints game!!!!
Good to speak Clyde, hope all is well and you are behaving!!! :D

Used to be a big fan, but it became too hard to keep up with on TV, due to limited non-Sky availability. Starting to get back into it with Channel 4 and actually feel asleep in front of the TV last night watching the live game...

I got into it when I was a kid and it was on C4 (Mick Luckhurst and Gary Imlach presenting)
Really good for it to be back on C4, opens it up again.
I stayed up last night to watch Brady make that pass to Thompkins in the last five seconds, though I feel like death today LOL
Oh, and we all love Gisele

Russell Wilson has got that team moving really well...I see you making the NFC Championship game this year, but after that Pats comment, I hope you miss the play offs ;)
I have a passing interest in it in that I watch a game most weeks. I'm a bit of a Steelers fan. They've been pretty pony this year though :(

I feel sorry for Brian Hoyer....he looked like a good starter at QB and then got injured. I won't labour you with my analysis of Weedon, but all I can say is that I have never seen somone release a ball slower than this guy.
So yes, hopefully a big win :)

patriots year for sure
They know how to win, though Cincinatti (probably and Denver at Mile High (probably) are really hard games. The week off next week is huge as we get to rest Mcourty and Harmon in the secondary, plus Talib who are all carrying knocks.
Felt gutted for Zoidberg. I would have put my house on Succop nailing that 41 yard filed goal for KC, which would have put San Diego out and his beloved Steelers through. Think the Steelers deserved it after coming back from 2-6 earlier in the season

I disagree, see how many has gone to the international series, how they have expanded to now 3 games next year in London. They are also doing college games in Dublin again this year. It is not nearly as big as soccer and never will be over here, but saying people aren't into it, is quite wide of the mark also, imo.

They are looking to get a UK franchise...this is the big test.
The International games are sold out, and SKY to seven hours of coverage every Sunday night, plus highlights of Thursday games (Eurosport have the Monday locked up) Add in to that the Sunday night game being on C4 with a full highlight package on the Saturday, saying Europeans don't like it is total nonsense, as these channels don't show programmes that don't get viewers

Completley agree. There is also nearly 20 American football teams in Ireland(each with a squad of 30-50) playing in one of the most organised leagues in Europe.
Martin Ward
10-01-14, 15:45
I have heard word of the NFL wanting to come to europe. Sadly europeans weren't raised with american football so they have no interest. I however have no interest in any sport.
Maybe your lack of interest in sport may slant your view. The fact that the International series and SKY shows are a massive success kind of counteracts your point.

Broncos nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, Colts meanwhile didn't have another comeback in them. Manning v Brady in the AFC decider. I think that is effectively the Superbowl decider as I can't see the 49ers or Seattle beating either of them although Seattle did well to beat New Orleans

Hold yer Broncos! ;) The Seattle D and 49er D are both good enough to stop both Brady and Manning. Saying that the Pats have found a mean running game so will be very tough to beat, as Brady with a good play action game can be lethal
If the Broncos get to the dance it will be interesting to see what the weather will be like in NY for the SB. If its proper cold, or worse still snowing then Manning could be affected badly. His stats in the cold are very poor
Martin Ward
14-01-14, 09:10
Interesting stuff here lads. I have to go with Daddy, even as a mad Patriots fan. The Legion of Boom at Seattle are tough tough boys, and SF never take a backstep from anyone, they are well in it.
As for Manning, lets us see how he does in the cold, in the play offs, against Brady. Denver have to be faves but coupled with Manning's frailties at this time of year, plus our running game, it wouldn't surprise me if I am in a very good mood next Monday! Plus Chris Harris may be injured which damages the Denver secondary badly
Can SF goto Seattle and win??
PaddyDaddy

If the Cards could do it the 49ers can do it. They know the Seahawks as well as any team. Jim Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in the league right now. NFC championship game each year in his first 3! Outstanding stuff. (even if he is a total psycho!) And to think what the 49ers were like before he took over (granted years of rubbish had the squad primed with talented draft picks) They have arguabley the best O line and best D line in the game. That wins rings
They have had to go on the road for the whole playoffs. Lambeau and A Rods passing game in that crazy cold (look what they did to GB in the first quater! That won them the game, not Kapernick IMO). Carolina and that mean defense and excellent running game. Both of which suffered to an extent (especially the run). I reckon JH has every person on that squad believing 100% they are a team of destiny. He will be saying that with their record they should not have to go on the road but because they are forced to they will prove to everyone they are the best the hard way etc etc. Also they lost the big one last year so that is plenty of motivation right there.
I personally cant not wait for this NFC game (more so than the AFC game). Im hoping it will be 3 hours of smash mouth football and effectively and 3 hour fight! Bring it on. :)

It really is a tough one to call. But My gut says it will be Broncos and 49ers. With the 49ers to win the SB. 49ers 24 Seahawks 20. Pats 34 Broncos 41. I of course would not be shocked in the least if it was the Seahawks Pats
I am a Packer fan for my troubles. Still can not believe they got to the playoffs this year!

Seriously, if A-Rod hadn't got injured, you would have had a much better regular season. Detroit blowing up was a shock, and I seriously don't rate Cutler or the Bears.
It was a sign how decent you are that you took SF so close, when they could legitimately win the SB
I will say 31-24 to the Donkeys (hope I am wrong) and 24-21 the Hawks...but either could go the other way
PaddyDaddy
14-01-14, 15:43
Yeah the Rodgers injury and the Lions implosion certainly made it a very interesting season for a Packers fan.
From a Packers stand point it was the loss of Mathews, Shields, Jolly, etc etc on the D that resulted in the 49ers edging that game IMO. One more play of the defense and the Pack could have won it. Unfortunately they had an injured, hobbling, rookie LB trying to run down Kapernick on his effectively game wining run. The Pack need to resolve a few things this off season and be careful in free agency as they have a few key guys heading that way. A couple of good decisions, and couple of good drafts and a more injury friendly season next year and they could be knocking on the door again, but its the NFL. Anything can and will happen........
As for the Bears. Well I personally dont think Cutler is worth want they gave him but he has some really good weapons there. A big strong fast wide receiving core and a class "A" RB. If he can be more consistent and stay injury free they should push the Pack year on year.
It will be interesting to see what happens at the Lions. They get the right men to coach that team and they could be very dangerous.
The NFC North which was arguably the worst division in the NFL this year could be one of the strongest again in the blink of an eye. Thats the sort of thing that makes me love the NFL

The beauty of the salary cap and the draft.
We have an issue with Talib as we are working out whether he is going to be given a franchise tag. Sadly a lot of our salary is still taken up by a man dropping the soap, presumably for the rest of his life. That leaves us working out whether Talib, who is injury prone is worth a Franchise Tag.
I say yes

Anyone stay up and watch the 49ers/Seahawks? What a game! It was pretty epic. 49ers where unlucky and I felt they really had the better of Seattle but CK decided to throw those picks! What he was thinking on the last play of the game I dont know but I still think Crabtree could of defended that bat down instead of shaping to catch as he must of known Sherman had him beaten to the ball.
The Superbowl should be good. Manning and that high octane offence against that Seattle D. I feel if the Seahawks are to win it Wilson will want to step up his game a bit. But it really does help him to have such a talented D.
Martin Ward
21-01-14, 09:55
Sorry for the late reply mate....pulled an all nighter to watch the games so took Monday off.
I mirror your thoughts to be fair. Against Denver we could get no penetration on Manning which allowed him to pick us apart. Once Talib went down we were screwed, as no way Dennard at 5.10 could cope with Thomas
Did it make a difference? It would have been closer at least. I also believe we threw to our receiving core too much. The run would have been hard but worth investing in I think.
As for Seattle v SF, WTF were the officials playing at? Seattle got everything and that 'running into the kicker play' was the most stupid call I have ever seen (don't mention the Tuck rule as that was justified')
I do agree CK bottled in that fourth quarter. And why go after Sherman? 40 seconds left with three time outs...come on man, THINK.
Oh, anyone says 'Omaha' and I will ban them for 24 hours....
Who do you pick for the Superbowl?
PaddyDaddy
21-01-14, 15:11
Yeah there is some downgrading to be done with those officials. They should have seen Bowmans possession on the play he injured himself on also (not that it mattered as the Seahawks fecked up 4th down, and justifiably so!) That was a nasty injury he sustained (both ACL and MCL torn!). Hope it does not affect him as bad as it potentially can as he is still young.
Superbowl. Well if I was putting money on it I would go with Manning. He is one (if not the quickest releases in the NFL) and you need that against this Seahawks D. Morenos injury is a factor to consider but. If he cant play or if he can but not play 100% then it could have an impact, as I dont believe Ball can sustain a long end zone to endzone running game, especially against Seattle and there needs to be some balance in approach going up against that D.
As I mentioned if the Seahawks are to win this I think Wilson needs to step up and have a big one. Yes that D is special but they will have to contend with one of the best QBs ever, who has a plethora of weapons to go to. If Harvin can get fit and put in a shift at the SB then he may act as a confidence boost to Wilson. And he always has Lynch and that D to rely on.
Weather wise if its cold then it will favour Seattle. If it gets crazy cold and snow it could be a major factor as Lynch and that D will excel in such conditions
It should be close. It should be low scoring enough. At this moment in time I say Broncos and Manning to cement himself as the best QB potentially of all time (he really does need that 2nd ring to be considered such), but its 13 days away. There are still evolving factors. As such I will not predict a score until at least 1-2 days out.
Whats your take on it Martin?

It is all about Manning. If the Seattle pass rush works, then he won't have time to pick out his receiving core as he struggles when rushed. If he can release then they can get to the Seattle D more than anyone else has been able to do.
I am gearing towards Seattle, though I don't want to see Sherman get a ring. Actually, I don't want to see Wes Welker get one either.
Wilson to me is very overated. He is good, but he isn't Luck or CK.

I have to say, I prefer Talib, but maybe there is a touch of Bias ;)

I would have to believe so. Sherman is building himself an island. His reading of the game is second to none and he really is a true shut down CB

Well good to see it back but gutted the Pack could not cope with the Hawks. Some poor plays at key moments and big penalties really swung it away from being a competition. Hopefully its lessons learned and if they meet again in the Playoffs the Pack may be able to put it up to them a little better.
One thing I hope other teams that have to play the Seahawks noted is that if you play hurry up and keep the same defense on the field you have a chance of getting at them but few NFL teams can play hurry up with the ability of Arron Rodgers.

I was mortified at the Patriots offensive line against Miami, but it seems the six lineman worked against Minnesota
No-one seems unbeatable at this time of the season, so it is just a case of keeping in it until you really get into full swing.
Watch out for Arizona..if either the Hawks or the 49'rs start to struggle they could make the play offs. if they do, they could go far

5 weeks in.
Strange season thus far
Saints are all over the shop. Pats are like a yo-yo. 49ers are wobbly. Peyton still has not aged. Rivers is hot. The Jets are the Jets. Romo is getting away with it (for now!),
My Packers had a tough first 5 game schedule with an away game to the Hawks and 3 division games (2 away), but they have come through it 3-2, so not a bad result. There is still massive questions over the run defense and running game (both have shown they can do something when they get going), but its now a matter of consistency and if they can achieve that? The Packers really need stronger lines on both side of the ball. Both the Bears and Lions losses helped the Pack have a great week.
Already into the 2nd quarter of the season and no one looks dominant. The SB pairing could be a total surprise this year! (or it could easily be the Hawks n Broncos again!)
Steelers are a bit hot and cold too. Still early days yet though

Ya made hard work of it but didnt you?
The Jets are not exactly up there, but I suppose the division rivalry may give it a bit of a "derby" nature regarding form.
However after showing the Bengals and Bills who is boss I expected the Pats the rip the Jets apart. The Pats next 6 games will be interesting. All are potentially pretty tough.
