Erithacus Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) The 103rd NFL season kicked off with the Bills winning 31-10 in the reigning champions' own stadium. Former Rams DB Von Miller sacked Stafford twice and the Bills rushing attack were in determined mood. With a spluttering offense, the Rams looked off the pace for most of the game and turned the ball over several times. So, game 1 is over and a packed weekend awaits! Who do you reckon will be making the plays this time? Edited September 9, 2022 by Erithacus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambodinho Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 A lot of NFL pundits over the pond picking the bills or the chargers. I’m hoping Trey Lance lives up to expectations and can lead the 49ers to another Super Bowl. So glad it’s back. Can’t beat those Autumn/Winter Sunday afternoons, roast dinner, bottle of red and some NFL on the tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 You would expect there to be a bit of rustiness in the first games of the season but what a strange set of games! Some bizarre finishes, eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Went up to London game yesterday. Good day out. Saints looked like they were going to get pumped by end of Q1 but did pretty well to put a fight up and make a really good game of it with lots of best offensive players missing. Talk about a tight finish ! disappointed Saints lost but good game and good day. Spurs stadium is lovely but it’s so badly organised on match day. The bars by us had run out of most beers and half the food options by end of the first quarter. Was similar when I went last year . Mad to think they can’t pull finger out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was pretty busy but I guess that’s prob pretty commonplace when these massive stadiums empty out. We walked to seven sisters tube station (25 mins or so) and got on there . Was still pretty chocca all the way and in the station though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Lamar at QB which is good, but have not got any good wide recievers. Relying on Jackson and steady running backs.

grifty Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I’m a Bengals fan so after having a shocking start they pulled it back over the last two games. Prevented Burrows getting sacked as much which was a nice change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Some great games again! I can't remember so many finishing inside a one-score outcome. Also can't recall the teams being so evenly matched - only one unbeaten thus far and several divisions looking wide open. The NFL is delivering.

Erithacus Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Back from Wembley and watched a decent game. Broncos v Jags isn't the big clash it might have been, but not a blowout in the end. Some really off-colour plays and players to begin with, but the game started to tighten up in the second half when Russell Wilson had the time to pick receivers in the mid-range. In the end it fell to Trevor Lawrence to make the right plays at the right time - and sadly threw a pick with the last drive to go. He's young and learning the hard way, and not helped by the receiving corps. It's been a while since I've been there and the place seems a little strange now all the tower blocks have encircled the stadium and the Olympic Way ramp is no more. Curiously, they announced the biggest crowd ever at a Wembley NFL game at over 86,000. Judging by the number of empty seats at kick-off, I can only assume there were loads waiting at the beer queue. Perhaps and more significantly, I did notice there were no touts lining the steps at the tube station. Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Just read that Redskins DT Dave Butz has died, aged 72. I can remember watching him and the dominant Washington sides of the early 80s when Channel 4 started. Butz won the Superbowl twice in his career.
