dave_ragg1984 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Long way to go before they start talking about home field advantage....but if they dont get it I can see the Vikings getting it, and that is also a dome. Let's be honest though, if we can go to Green Bay in a championship game, and win in those extreme conditions then I wouldn't be too worried about playing in the perfect conditions that a dome gives.

Oh I would... While Green Bay was a cold cold day... It was not a million miles away from playing in Giants stadium once the sun goes down... Play a clinical offense NO and Brees in the dome again would worry me far more... Anyway like you said, that is a long way away Edited October 18, 2009 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFCMIKE Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) and I'm sure OAFCMIKE can tell us all what happened in the Superbowl. Yeah, the best team lost. Still sore about that scabby victory ;) 52-0. Let's hope they've saved some points for Wembley.. Edited October 18, 2009 by OAFCMIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More passing yards, more rushing yards, longer time of possession, more third down conversions, and crucially, more points. On the day, the best team won.

Manning threw that pass with his eyes shut and it was a fluke the fella came down with it. Fair play, in that game the Giants made more plays but NE was the best team in the league that year by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It was a bit of luck, but David Tyree still had to go and get it and come down with it. Considering there was a Patriots player basically wrestling him for the ball as he come down, then he deserves a lot of credit. Plus, it wasn't the only play of the game....NE had 60 minutes to secure the win but couldn' do it, And, you can't whine about being the best team but not winning the Superbowl. As a Patriots fan, you must realise that when they beat St Louis in Superbowl 36, St Louis were a far superior team that season....or were you not a Patriots fan before they started dominating?

I watched the first quarter, but only cos it was at Wembley. Pretty uninteresting game....them Buccs cheerleaders are pretty special though eh!?! Big game for the Giants tonight. Will be tough. Similar test to last week (ie, secondary will be tested), but i think we can win through. Cardinals don't travel too well to the east, so I hope that continues. Will be tough though. Warner is ace, and Larry Fitz and Boldin are pretty amazing too. Won't be able to watch live tonight. In work very early tomorrow, so will have to watch it archived tomorrow or Tuesday night I think.

nava Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Easy win for the Pats today... NO getting beat by the Dolphins...now that's a shock... Dolphins are a decent team and the way NO play there always likely to run the risk of interceptions and looking at the stats thats been their downfall. Also lmao at the Bears and Cutler! He moved to a superbowl contender in the OS, shame their soon to be 3-3 and we're 6-0! slight misjudgement on his part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the best in the NFL Seems like we will be getting two international games next year. Fingers crossed for the Giants Big game for the Giants tonight. Will be tough.

Matt Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Easy win for the Pats today... Just got back now, really enjoyed the experience. However 84,000 people packed in for a Buccs home fixture really couldn't give Tampa their "home feel". I witnessed a pretty good effort for the Saints last year, but it's still a bit of a novelty yet I reckon... NO getting beat by the Dolphins...now that's a shock... Rally, rally, rally....

Thing is, the Bucs are a bit 'unfashionable', whereas the Saints are a bit 'cool' with the likes of Brees, Bush, Colston et al in the ranks. Not to mention the second best uniform in the NFL. I was quite surprised by the amount of Bucs jerseys on show, to be honest. Last year's game was tons better, though. The worst thing that could've happened yesterday, happened. Early returned pick for the Pats. Game over straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museum de Latique Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I will refrain from mentioning the score on here I got back about the same time - 01.15 Problem with any NFL game at Wembley is 80% of the non US fans in attendance do not support either team - they are just there to see a live game. I never thought I would cheer for the Bucaneers but I did last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year there was the "WHODAT" chant and the "DEEEEUUUUUUUUUCE!" shout when he was rushing (look I didn't go last year - I wish I had, but you could hear it on th'telly), but there was none of that yesterday. Even the DEEEEEEE-FENCE! shout was laclustre. And it wasn't a spectacle of a game either, which wouldn't have helped. Personally though I really enjoyed watching the first half as a neutral, but the second just passed us by to be honest, the Bucs offensive line provided no cover whatsoever and they got mauled. All in all I'm glad I made the journey down with me Dad (Miami fan from the Marino days), a great experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Also a Marino fan from when I used to take the newspaper Dolphin Digest coz there was no other way of Dolphin news - Those where the days Marino to the marx brothers - still have a framed programme cover signed by Don shula from when he he broke the winningest coach record of 325 games gainst the eagles in '93. Stillwe paid £75 each for tix . Will def have to think hard next year before laying out that for third year in a row. Also felt a bit cheated with no half time show - btw who was the jerk who did the pre-game entertainment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCMIKE Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I thought it was a great game ;) The Patriots looked slick and like things are coming together, admittedly against poor opposition. That Brady could throw 2 INTs and still cruise to victory spoke volumes about the Bucs. A shame really 'cos a one-sided game in any sport isn't brilliant to see. But not many people left before the end and it was a good atmosphere, despite everyone who was not a Pats fan cheering for the Bucs. From a press point of view it was a revelation. Locker room after the game and interviews with Brady, Belichick and Welker. No PR men there to veto questions and no time limit. They even threw us what was left of the team's post match meal on the way out. A refreshing change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
