Yikes. :eek:

Does Washington have any time outs left?

Wow. Top finish to the game.

OT.

Randle El caught a ricochet and was then tackled at about the four.

Holy Shit!!

USA v. Brazil starting now if you don't want to watch OT ;)

Jason, feel free to wish some ill on Randle El. He went to IU too, you know. ;)

Sorry, that's Rantwaan Andle-El if you're Dan Dierdorf.

Anyone think Ben's enjoying himself? :D

I hate randle el just like the rest :)

Come on JT, perfect time for another return TD.

Certainly getting his moneys worth.

Trac Traylor must be breathing out his arse now!

You think they'd still want it to be a bit closer?

Can't believe we didn't stack the box and make Campbell try and beat us on 3rd and 4.

Elliott is really pleased about the NFL OT rules. I apreciate it's a slightly less valid point, given the impotence of both offences, but they've lost on the toss of the coin.

No, we're going to lose because we've not stopped them running the entire second half.

Fair point.

But the NFL OT rules are ********.

Hey Jason, we've got the Chargers-Bears game now. :cool:

Fantastic start to the season for Carolina :lux:

Titans off to a winning start for once too :D

Jealous :(

You not get it on Fox?

No, I live too close to Detroit so I get stuck watching the Lions :(

Chargers may not have won pretty but those new unis are still the best in the NFL!

Was an absolute sickener of a collision

:(

Nice start for the Seahawks.

Gents, Sunday was sensational, despite defeat. I've got loads of pics and loads to write about but I'm too knackered to do it right now. Really enjoyed reading back through the thread and going through your posts, especially those nerve-wracking last two minutes. I did indeed get my money's worth but I was in pieces at the same time!

Have a couple of teaser shots. More later...

Wow great seats. Glad you had fun.


On an aside it does not look good at all for the Buffalo player

:(

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

Frye traded to the seahawks. Talk about a bizarre start to the season

Even more envious having seen a few pics!

Very sad about Kevin Everett. The weird thing is this story didn't seem to be on the radar yesterday (with the exception of Peter King's column), now it appears to be life threatening.

Would quite like to see the last second Denver FG. All done without a timeout as time expired apparently.

The NFL have revamped their video section, and it's pretty good.

Take this Rugby Union kickers. Go and run off with your public schoolboy pal with his bucket of sand.

A opening season win for the 49ers yesterday :lux:

Pics here, chaps:

If you'd like to see any of them bigger let me know and I'll post 'em on this thread.

The Patriots are cheaters.

Good stuff Ben. Looks like you had a great time.

Doctor who operated on Everett now saying a v good chance he will walk again and has gained some voluntary movement back

That would be amazing. The man is lucky to be alive!!

Excellent pics, Ben. :)

Jets fans certainly appreciated his missing a FG!!! :D

I don't know what the stats are but on ethat's stuck in my head from 20 years ago is that of the first 122 OTs, 62 were won by the team winning the toss and 60 by the coin toss losers.

If that pattern has continued all these years then obviously there isn't an advantage to winning the toss.

elliott

It seems the 50% ratio is still intact according to this article from 5 years ago. Interesting that I've learnt there is even a debate about the OT system, initially prompted by your post.

Always thought that it's worked well enough, myself.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/columns/clayt...n/1457923.html

Woohoo, just got tickets for Giants v Dolphins!

I'm in block 517, anyone know if this is the Dolphin or Giants' end? :lux:

It was so loud in the stadium when the Dolphins had a first or third down deep in their own half

That doesn't come across on TV

Im in blcok 131, got tickets the morning :lux:

Elliott - Strathclyde

Still on the subject of OT, do you know the highest scoring game to involve overtime?

Hint - it involved Wesley Walker!!! :p

I got an email with a password eventualy and got tickets for block 130. :lux:

Ill be wearing this top, hopefully, if you want to wave over to me!

http://www.nflshop.com/product/index...id=body_rv_img

Erm, week 3, 1986?

Another argument for the college overtime system. ;)

Is that everyone with tickets now? Duke of York beforehand?

I'll be wearing this:

The hallmark of Dolphin draft inepitude since 2005, although I should probably get a Jason Allen and Ted Ginn jersey to complete the set. :lux:

Boooooooooooooooooo :D

lol I was going to order a new Carolina top but they didnt have the hooded top in the size i wanted and as The Giants are my 2nd team as such I ordered that instead.

I cant wait for the end of next month now :lux:

Did everyone make it through Week 1 of the Survival Game? Seattle made me sweat for a bit but listening to the game in the 2nd half my suspicions about the Tampa offense were correct - they still don't have one.

I've forgotten the link to make my Week 2 pick!!!

Reading between the lines here it seems that the London game has been such a success already they may well repeat it next year And the BBC having signed a deal will surely help.

Belichick fined $500,000 for the video taping incident

The Patriots fined $250,000 and lose a draft pick

There is something in the air today with hefty fines

:eek:

Christ, 3 out of 7 are out already.

What's with all the secret picks, guys? Let's see what you've got!!!

BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

Had Minnesota in week 1. Not sure who I'm taking this week, possibly Pittsburgh.

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival

One thing I've learnt with these things is there's no need to be too clever - just take the obvious picks.

Have stuck with the Steelers as my survival pick, although I'm slightly concerned that the Jills will be up for this one for Everett. I'd still sooner take a big favourite at home for this.

Colts and Pittsburgh both win

That's me and you through, Tony.

Anyone else???

Don't care who wins - just need Dallas and Miami to serve up over 41 points.

3-3 after 1 quarter isn't exactly on a Cleveland-Cincy pace!!!

Fins sloppy at the moment. Green needing two attemps to spike the ball was ridiculous.

6 touchdown passes for Palmer and the Bengals lose

:bash:

It's worse than sloppy Ben, it's amateurish. Since when did Zach Thomas become our only dependable tackler?

And I wish the fans in Florida would stop complaining about missing a home game due to the game at Wembley. That's the only way the game could have any kind of advantage for us, otherwise Dolphin Stadium would be full of Giants fans.

Think I might pass on the second half to prevent myself from breaking something.

To that high powered Cleveland Browns offense :D

It will take them the next month and a half to tally that many points, again.

Ridiculous. Summed up perfectly with the catch by the Browns defender with the last play.

3rd quarter has given me hope.....something the Jets are unable to do tonight. :(

According to nfl.com MInnesota have scored FOUR points in the 3rd quarter!

That's one hell of a feat!

http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter?season...&game_id=29220

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Another stupid penalty on a punt gives them great field position, then we give 'em two turnovers on consective drives. Shit, shit, shit.

One more TD will do it in this game!

Just someone score so I can go to bed!

Browns-Bengals ended 51-45. First time a game has ended with that scoreline since... I'm sure Grim can tell us. :)

I'm not watching the Jets-Fins game next week. I'm not watching any sport at all next weekend in fact.

Got excited for a second that a team had scored two safeties in a quarter. No such luck. Every chance that could happen this year for an opponent playing the Dolphins though.

As I write it's quite conceivable that the AFC East will be 1-7 tomorrow morning.

Can the Jets AND the Dolphins lose next week! I'm sure they would if they could on current form!!! :eek:

Christ, Jets convert a 4th & 7!!

You watch, Dallas will run down the clock and my o41 bet will fall just short

Errr no, TO scores as I press Submit on that last post!!! Hurrah!!

TOUCHDOWN JETS!!!

Classic, dropped TE Chris Baker from my Fantasy team and replaced him with.....








....you're gonna love this....














.....I didn't do my research....





.......I only had $1m left on my last player....








....KEVIN EVERETT



And guess who's just scored for the Jets

hey whaddya know - Miami score now.

AFC East fightback !!!

Love it

21 points in 2 minutes since I wrote this!!! ;)

Anyone just see the field goal thing in the Raiders denver game

Amazing stuff.

My fantasy picks have been shafted this week with last second field goals so it was nice for that one to miss, just

And the Bronco's win

Made me laugh. I knew he would miss it :D

Lions...lions...lions...

It did have me chuckling, especially when the second one landed on the top of the upright.

Mike Shannahan, tactical genius ;)

Im sure I remember him doing that last year in a game as well. If i remember correctly he did used up 2 timeouts just as the kicker was about to have a go

God I hate Denver.... they are the Charlton to my Palace.... smug bastards.

Rockies Racist.

Pats looking solid. Phillip Rivers showing that he's there for nothing more than relying on LT to open up the passing game...

I liked Rivers last year.This year he has been a duffer

I've never likes Rivers because he cried and whined about playing time when Brees was in front of him. Brees got hurt and Rivers is getting his chance now. I can't help but feel that Brees should be leading SD to a Super Bowl.

Jason,

I know you're a Purdue man so Brees in seen in a "different light" but it was Brees who cried when Rivers was drafted ( after Brees sucked the big one for a season and a half 2002/2003) and openly suggested the bolts draft Robert Gallery.
Rivers was a model understudy for 2 years and there was never even the suggestion of whining about playing time. I like both QB's and I think that each of them is with the right team.
Chargers look like they need a month to find their rhythm at the present

No shame in losing to NE.

The Chargers will back soon

The big question of Week 3 is who will win the Loserbowl?

Jets or Miami?????

Already realise that in the scheme of things the Jets will be crashing this year. Already looking forward to the play-off-reacing 2008!! ;-)

The only thing I would add to that is that Rivers hurt himself with his rookie holdout. Had he not done that the starter's job might have been his to lose before Brees had a great preseason that year.

Agree that Rivers was an exemplary backup for two years. Maybe he gives Aaron Rodgers hope?

Re the Chargers: I think they'll be fine now (bar the fact that Turner is a dreadful HC). I think all their recent chat, plus the camera drama were massive motivation for the Patriots last night.

No way we're winning that game. We won't win until the Deportation Bowl battle of two 0-7 teams at Wembley.

Two game tickets - £100.
Two return flights and an overnight hotel, £170.
The chance to hear 85000+ people sing, "You don't know what you're doing" and "Are you Wannstedt in disguise?" PRICELESS.

There are some things money can't buy. For my Dolphins-Giants tickets I used Mastercard. :bash:

Tony,

Very astute observations.
Have a great time at Wembley. Looks like the Giants won't be too much of a hurdle!
