NFL is back!!

[Eggman]

Go Philly!!!

 

[Brovion]

Great isn't it? Something worthwhile to watch on Sky (and to justify subscribing) now the cricket's finishing. Cleveland v Dallas tonight, really looking forward to it.

 

[Eggman]

Indeed. Upgraded to Sports for it. The Browns, Cowboys matchup will be interesting. Cowboys got to be faves but the Browns could be dark horses this year.

I don't think i'd have upgraded to Sky Sports if I didn't already have it as I would prefer to have Gamepass. Even with my SS subscription I was very tempted to get a HD gamepass, very good value for NFL fans without Sky.

Oh and my Steelers are DESTROYING Houston!

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Yay!!! Can't wait!

Come on you STEELERS!!!

Yep, I also think the Cleveland could do well this year - can't see them beating Dallas tonight though. I hope not anyway.

Can someone confirm the rules for me, can only the registered Kicker take a field goal or extra point kick? Just hearing what happened in the Jets game surely someone else can kick an extra point, my mother could kick an extra point!

As far as I was aware anyone can kick the extra point.

 

[Skint Gull]

How can that possibly be classed as Incomplete? Bush took at least 3 steps with the ball, can't believe it wasn't challenged

That's what I thought so surely at 13-7 you get someone else to kick the point rather than go for 2

3 TD passes from McNabb in the first half. Big season for the boy Donovan this year

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Got tickets for the Jets against the New England Patriots next Sunday at Giants Stadium. Great stadium, great atmosphere - but why does everyone have to show ID to get a pint of Bud Shite ? Oh for a pint of Harveys !

 

[dougdeep]

Patriots this year I think.

GO EAGLES

I spend a very drunken afternoon in a bar in Philli with a US marine Sargent and his wife discussing the merits of the Eagles and the Phillies ( the Baseball team) he was HUGE so I believed every word he said.

I am now therefore a Philadelphia Eagles fan!!!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Bleedin marvelous, I have not got sky on as present so may try and watch the games on the game pass. Got my ticket for the Chargers v Saints game at wembley, so would like to think Chargers can follow in the Giants footsteps and go all the way after a wet Wembley win.

A good start for my/our Steelers.

Houston Texans 17

Pittsburgh Steelers 38

From the report on their site.

The Steelers scored on their first three possessions and never looked back as they defeated the Houston Texans 38-17 in the season-opener.

It was all Steelers from the get-go, as they dominated on offense and defense for a full 60 minutes.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed an impressive 13 of 14 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns for a passer rating of 147.0, before coming out of the game at the start of the fourth quarter. Hines Ward had six receptions for 76 yards and was on the receiving end of both of Roethlisberger’s touchdown passes.

Willie Parker was the mainstay for the ground game with 25 carries for 138 yards and the first three touchdown day of his career.

Nice to see The Jets off to a winning start..
Didnt win many last season

 

[chez]

The Browns have got a player called "Steptoe" in their team.

Dallas well on their way to an opening day win.

Monday September 8 Minnesota @ Green Bay

That's a dandy derby to kick things off on Mondays! Can't wait. Got my cheesehead and I'm ready to roll.

 

[bhaexpress]

At least the Falcs got off to a winning start, sure it won't last
