Road to Superbowl XLV

Thanks SD - the bears will mess this one up anyway.

Cheers for that, Mac. :guns:

Our defence is giving up too many big plays. Missing Asante Samuel badly in the secondary. Quite lucky that the Chicago offensive line is so bad.

So he got picked off cos I said he was class? Did he know I said it and wanted to show me up or something? Very strange logic.

‘Yes’ to both questions.

Defence wins championships. The Eagles defence isn’t good enough.

It’s spelled defense Bandage.

Made my NFL debut today covering the Giants / Jaguars game for this site. Three terrible quarters of football before it finally came to life.

Enjoyable tailgating before the game but the day was marred by some violence in the stands and a horrific 1hr 45min journey each way between Manhattan and East Rutherford.

Hmm, the high jinks was probably the work of a certain gouger form this parish. :smiley:

Between yourself and Sledgehammer, that game was a TFK jolly for all intents and purpouses.

Eagles have wasted an awful lot of time on this drive by not getting out of bounds and the clock will probably beat them even if they get a touchdown back here.

Brilliant catch there on 4th and 9 for the touchdown. Real hail mary stuff. Eagles need another one from this kick though.

Onside kick. 'Mon the Eagles.

Great catch from Celek in quadruple coverage, even if it turns out to count for little.

A top lad Brent, not getting the TDs this year but going about his blocking business quietly.

What the fuck. Knox wasn’t touched there - that should be the Eagles ball. Same as the San Diego-New England game from a month or so ago.

What’s the story with Cecil Martin’s face - one side of it looks paralysed or something.

:lol:

This is something that I often discuss with people. I say stroke but Howard Webb offered up the suggestion of Bells Palsy the other day.

As opposed to Jonnie Tight End whose brain was paralysed.

Andre Johnson gave that Finegan prick a good couple of shots in their game last night. both ejected.

it was nothing only a few slaps. I thought a fella his size could at least punch properly.

Some cheap NFL tops. Nike taking over next year so this year’s tops are cheaper.

What does Bando make of the current impasse in the DeSean Jackson contract thing? Disturbing how it seems to have affected is attitude, I’ve had a soft spot for D-Jax ever since his time with the Absolute Beginners but it seems ridiculous to be stirring this sort of shit at the moment when everyone knows nobody’s getting any big contracts with CBA being up in the air. This Rosenhaus has a lot to answer for. Hopefully coach Reid has sorted this for the duration of the season.

Given that it only seems to be face related I’d say bells palsy too.
