NFL General Discussion

[Patrick]

Does he still get a ring if the Pats win? That would really suck if he doesn't.

I'm not sure.

 

[Slash]

Personally I don't like either. We had the same matchup a few years ago didn't we?

Yes in 2007.

Can you feel it? Are you ready? Super Bowl XLVI coming up later tonight. Best of luck to both teams about to clash hard to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy and plenty of bragging rights until next season.

Keep an eye out for the Coca Cola bears on the screen at half time! My girlfriend's company made them!

 

[Submerged]

Anyone watching it?

 

[Matty]

Anyone watching it?

I am, here in Ireland. Already 11:22..

Weirdly I'm a patriotic Giant's fan

 

[ranhammerR34]

I am watching it here in Indianapolis. Coin toss is next... --- Randy

Edit: Here we go.. Pats deferred to Giants... COME ON ELI.. GET A TD on the opening drive!

 

[Submerged]

I'm in England, sitting in the kitchen with the telly! Family doesn't want to watch it.

 

[Matty]

In my room in bed with a electric heater.. C'MON GIANTS

 

[Submerged]

Kick off! Soon! Almost now!

 

[Matty]

Done.. Giants on the ball.

 

[Submerged]

its pretty quick atm, though. Was expecting it to get quite slow quickly

I didn't know what to expect but this giants attack is pleasing me after much speculation they would be easily beaten.

And after that it went upside down faced..

 

[Submerged]

yeah...

Its interesting though. The dynamics and all

Now another stoppage?

And a flag?

Kinda wish they would tackle by grabbing the legs, rather than bouncing off one another.

They out lined that when you tackle the leg's in the gear the wear and being on astro turf that it often leads to twisted/sprained knees/ankles.

And with the helmets and stuff why not just headbutt the other person in the gut

Oh yeah, 8-0 awaiting a conversion

 

[Famine]

I'm gobsmacked - even though they've sacked Manning once (yeah, that's hard), the Patriots are an utter shambles. If they don't turn up soon, this is going to be over before Madge draws breath.

Can I ask, how many players are the defence allowed on field? Cause patriots got flagged for having 12 which I thought was correct but then again I don't watch NFL much being many hours ahead.

 

[Submerged]

With regards to wear and tear on the equipment.... They're millionaires, the players! They can afford to replace them every game I guess!

And yeah, the Patriots aren't really there yet... somehow.

 

[turboash78]

Eli looks like a bobble-head out there with that giant helmet of his

 

[Matty]

Now patriots have possession the look strong, although you basically have two teams each in a NFL game.

The defence, and the offence. One can play bad and another perfectly and really make the team as a whole look inconsistent even though you may have the best most consistant offence in the league.

Eleven for each team on the field at a time. You're an hour closer to the USA than I am.

If you live in England like your profile says you have a poor grasp on time zones cause Ireland is GMT +0

 

[Cowboys965]

Haha, I lol'd at the Bridgestone commercial.

Flight time...

Watching on BBC which show's NBC coverage minus the ad's. Which honestly I find hilarious. (American ones)

 

[Cowboys965]

Come on Pats!

 

[Michelin]

Helio Castroneves is at the ESPN Brazil booth right now!

 

[Matty]

Flight time...

Damn meant to put a at the end to lighten it up..

Cause it looked quite serious without it..

Anyway it'd really liven our fight up if you supported the Pats

 

[Famine]

No, I've spend some enjoyable time in and around NYC, but not experienced New England yet (soon...), so I'm behind the Giants this year.
