That’s how you start a game

Here’s a question, what needs to happen to counter the current trend of dominant TEs (Gronk, Rudolph has been big for Vikings, Ertz, Gates obviously, Kelce etc)

It seems to be too much of a mismatch for LBs and CBs be it through their speed or their size

Same. Went to all four.
So I can get early access to Wembley games and then if I buy them can get early access to seahawks-raiders game - the only one I want to see

They should use Wembley for a London team as 60k seats at Spurs isn’t enough

It's first come first served
I'm hearing spurs season ticket holders get priority too
Hope that s not true but keep reading that unofficially
There's apparently 40k season ticket holders for london gamws
And they are allowing season a season ticket holder to purchase upyo 4 tickets
It's silly
And stadium isn't even done so they cant announce anything
Mess

I'm not a Patriots fan but some of the dogshit level denial of Brady's quality being made here this evening is RAWK level stupidity.

Precisely and that’s what infuriates me. If someone came along and said I prefer Rodgers to Brady or Brady is great but maybe not quite the GOAT, I can live with that. If someone said Brady is a great QB but probably wouldn’t have all the rings and GOAT tag without B.B., again fine and I agree. And it’s fair enough.

It’s the Brady is on par with Big Ben, or Brady is only a good QB (I.e not even great) cos of B.B., or Brady is only a top 10 QB nonsense that annoys me.

I don’t think spurs season ticket holders have priority.

In terms of season ticket holders having priority on first come first served isn’t that broadly what happened when Twickenham came up?

I really hope not regarding spurs

I think with Twickenham it was fine cos there was at least 10k less season ticket holders so it was never an issue
 
Philly wtf you doing?! Back to back stupid plays.
 
Vikings are something else. Can't see eagles matching them today.

Ps.. late in but.. go pats :)
 
I don’t know if I want Eagles or Vikings to win. As a pats fan I’d want Eagles I think. But I really like the Vikings story this year.
 
rpitroda said:
Ok. That’s your opinion.

I disagree with you but it means nothing because, according to you, disagreeing with you makes me defensive :).

Anyway, let’s leave it - we can agree to disagree. Onto the Vikings game!

Fair enough lol

Philly fans are the most vile creatures on earth. Talk the most shit with not much to back up in success of supported teams. Probably up there with Liverpool fans.

Eurgh. All thanks to that fumble call being blown dead.

Or it being called a fumble. If it wasn't called and challenged they wouldn't have overturned it.

Also.. he was contacted in the process of taking possession anyway.. mention on US but not uk tv feed

:lol:

funny you say that. I have a mate (dolphins fan) who went on a US tour and saw a good few games. Think it was the Eagles Redskins game where Wentz pulled off that escape from the sack (correct me if wrong) and he was at it.

He said one of the philly fans said and quote:

“God pulled him from the arms of the ensuing challengers and said GO FORTH, GO FORTH”

Philly gave vick a job, fecking horrible organisation.

Best bit about them is the hot girl on chicks in the office barstool..
 
Eagles look like they will badly need their defence in this and to cut the stupid mistakes on both sides

If Vikings do win this I'm gonna be a big patriots fan in 2 weeks lol

Very witty from that fan, props on that.

Most Eagles fans I've known personally, or have had the misfortune to interact with in days gone by, spend more time concerned with how the Cowboys perform than talking about their own club. I guess it's an insecurity developed/instilled from early life while constantly being in the shadow of the Cowboys (and Giants as well, even the Redskins to a lesser extent).

As this thread evidences, plenty of fans have many things to say about teams who are successful and much less about their own.

I thought some were doing it as a pisstake to windup patriots fans after the win
And there have been bites lol
Regardless this patriots team will go down in history with greatest coach and QB

Heard this on the radio this afternoon, that Minnesota's LB group is the fastest collection in the league at the time.

It's one thing that Jimmy Johnson (Miami/Dallas HC) rarely gets credit for when he arrived in Dallas. He always believed speed over size wins games in this sport, and he brought to Dallas a philosophy that looked at speedy LB even if undersized. Some NFL people thought he was was off in this assessment back in the early 90s - until he won a couple SBs. He didn't have the same success in Miami but his LBs were of the same ilk and quite good.

In comparison, Parcells went for big, gaudy LBs in his stints throughout the league. Perhaps that was his philosophy from day one (which was the norm back then) or perhaps landing LT altered his view. He still sought big LBs when he came to Dallas in 2003.

Speed at linebacker but size and strength on the D-line.
 
As a pats fan, I'm obviously hoping for the eagles.. much rather face their dreams than vikings d..

Interesting, thanks. It's hard to get good background and kowledge in the UK. We get Neil Reynolds and his stats.. he does like me for what it's worth.. I think that's makes me pretty popular in this thread.

Yep. Jimmy also found quick-footed DL-man that could stunt, collapse the pocket, etc. and built his OL to be great run blockers able to pass protect (establish the run, open the pass, then smash the opposition late).

If we're being honest here and looking at what each brought to the league, if Coughlin gets in the Hall so should Johnson.
