frank_spencer Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Agree. Titans are just a meh sort of team. Always will be. Nothing against them but they just don’t matterI've mentioned it before and it still doesn't make any sense but the Titans are so meh it makes me dislike them. Quote
frank_spencer Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Titans have been bloody impressive this 2nd half. Quote
bolty58 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Looking forward to Tuesday. If that game is half as good as the Rose Bowl was it will be a cracker. Quote

tarian1979 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Panthers tonight. Probably get walloped Quote
Escobarp Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 More than likely. Saints are a very good team. Could get to Super Bowl Quote
frank_spencer Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Garrp is probably wanking himself into a frenzy. Â Who Dat, indeed Quote
L/H White Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 just looking at the straight forcast odds for the superbowl. Â thinking of doing the vikings to beat steelers at 8/1 & steelers to beat vikings at 18/1 Â any predictions chaps? Quote

Traf Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Who ever wins the AFC has to be favourite.  Can't see past the Pats sadly  Strangely so, despite the AFC actually being piss poor this year.  Vikings with home field advantage would be NFC's best bet of winning the Super Bowl itself, but they're by no means a shoe in to get there.  Equally strangely, I think they've more chance of winning the actual game than they have of getting there in the first place.

frank_spencer Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Had the Jags not beat the Steelers earlier in the season in such embarrassing fashion they'd probably have a better chance this weekend. The Steelers will be fired up to put that right. Rapey Ben can't throw 5 ints again. Quote

Â not often they play the final in Northern states in case the weather is shit, so guessing it's an indoor stadium, still though, they don't do it often, if it snows it's arse off do they still have tailgate parties all day?

Â Superbowl 48 in NY almost didn't happen but the Vikings play indoors so the game will be on. Â Don't think many games get cancelled at all in the NFL - the Bills game the other week proves that.

Â yeah, based on history, surprised they risked it, as there's no way they'd want the showcase game of the season played in conditions like that Quote

Â They have to share the SB around and there's a large percentage of teams in the North East, so it can't really be avoided Quote

frank_spencer Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The SB in NYC was seen as a test run for giving more games to the northern states. Â Domed stadiums will always have the edge up north. Quote
birch-chorley Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Has anyone ever been to a SB? I wonder how hard tickets are to come by Quote
Zico Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Has anyone ever been to a SB? I wonder how hard tickets are to come by Mate of mine has but it wasn't through the "usual" channels, ie buying them publicly online or something  Prob be the same difficulty level as a yank, or even us, trying his luck getting a CL final ticket Quote

Â Â Can only go off my own experience.Second last ever Packer game at Milwaukee County Stadium v. Detroit Lions. It had snowed heavily overnight then the big freeze came in. I was collected at 0830hrs and was on the car park at the stadium at 9am (for a midday kick off). It was minus 9 degrees and one cunt puts a frost covered can of Leinenkugels in my hand which 'burned' to my skin momentarily and I couldn't put it down. The 5 others in our party were already on to their third and loosening up nicely. A Wisconsin favourite - Bratwurst -Â sizzling on every barbecue (including ours thankfully) creating a thick but appetising haze and footballs flying around every where. Mad but intoxicating. Â In short then, yes. Edited January 10, 2018 by bolty58 Quote
bolty58 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Been avoiding it Frank but tough luck for the Bulldogs. Â To my eye Fromm's inexperience was the difference when it came to the crunch plays. Bloody close though and maybe a big chance next year? Quote
Traf Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Has anyone ever been to a SB? I wonder how hard tickets are to come by  Officially, like rocking horse shit. However, there are some agencies that can supply at a premium.  One that we deal with has them ranging from $3500 to $33000 Edited January 10, 2018 by Traf Quote
