    Jaguars vs Eagles is confirmed but the others rumours are much less appetising than the picture above.

    Chargers-Titans and Seahawks-Raiders are two new combinations I've seen mooted. I'd take that.

    Jaguars/Eagles should be great.

    I'll be doing the gay little Jaguar roar that is played round Wembley I think.

    From Euston it looks like Wembley might even be a bit closer than White Hart Lane, I always thought Tottenham was a lot more central than that.

    They've slowly increased the number of games and they are all still popular and hitting 75k+ attendances, even with shit teams.

    The NFL gave Tottenham money towards the stadium too, so I'd imagine we're gearing towards a team here with that having the right to be the home ground.

    I think I'll be getting a season ticket to go to all of those.

    Drive to Wembley was fine, traffic out was a bit shit for 30 minutes or so but then I managed to turn out of it.

They'd also have to really manipulate the schedules as well as you wouldn't want the London team doing a week in England and then a week in America.

    I just can't see it happening, they'll continue to do a handful of games but nothing more.
    501 must be awful I'd have thought. Wouldn't want to be right at the top.

    I'm in 133 and I wouldn't move. Obviously it's better when the action is down my end then when it's up the other end, but the view is superb anyway. I'm shocked the seats there are reasonably priced to be honest.

    Wonder what I'll end up with at Spurs.

    I loved it, I was on the halfway line. A little high up (which is why I want to go down to 201) but I could see everything.

    I think you get a decent view from anywhere at Wembley, but yea, it's the height that would put me off. I did the half way line for one game (I think it was Giants/Rams at Twickenham) but I preferred being behind one end zone. Still, I'd take any seat at Wembley over any at Twickenham, so thank God that's over with.

    I found the height to be a problem only when I first stepped out, after that initial flutter I was fine.

    If you're that high up you want to be where I was first time. Right against the outer wall with a little shelf for your beer.

    Reuben Foster got arrested for possession of marijuana in Arizona yesterday. I love him as a player, but he gets injured twice a game & he's got a few off-field incidents in his bag already, which is never great.

    In other linebacker news, Thomas Davis has said 2018 will be his last season. Hopefully he'll take Keuchly with him.

    There's some serious stupid young men in the NFL.

    Guys like Kevin White who are just perennially injured you kind of feel for. Guys who piss it away, less so.

    I still don't really get that Mariotta TD against the Chiefs. There is no way he was behind the line when he passed the ball. With some of the shit that gets called back on review it's baffling how it stood.

    I really don't like the new rule of "letting shit go" and then over turning it pending review, particularly for stuff like incomplete pass/fumble stuff. There's been loads this year where the qb throws the ball away (all be it without perfect technique, but he's trying to unload the ball) and it gets called a fumble. There's then not "conclusive" evidence to over turn.

    If you think it's incomplete, call it fucking incomplete.

    The mariota play was pretty tight, and when it's such a "holy shit this is great" kind of play that would obviously get loads of media exposure, there's no way New York we're going to reverse it.

    That was a hideous first pass

    And now a fumble. Good solid football start.

    The eagles have been hugely messy too though. This isn't playoff calibre football right now.

    We've been so scrappy it's awful.

    That punt was bad luck and it all collapsed from there. The most annoying thing is this game is right there for the taking so far. We're not tearing up trees but the run game is doing well and our defence is coping well. Their 2 scores have come from a fumble and a botched punt return.

    We just need a bit more from Foles.

    Call me when Tucker makes a 62 yarder to win a game. Outdoors too.

    Someone needs to break Tucker's ankles. Purely because of Mahow.

    I think him not making the Pro Bowl was the single best thing to happen this season.

    I saw him warm up for the Wembley game (shouldn't have bothered thanks to our defence) by taking a 72 yard field goal.

    You kidding? Hes on 98 yards against one of the top run defences in the league.

    A TD here and we should have enough.

    Taking 3 there is a big win for the Falcons.
    We tend not to do well on their hurry up offence and they'll be speeding up now.

    Unless Keenum has a meltdown I don't fancy us - the Vikings are the most complete team in the league, and their pass rush could shred what's left of our O-Line & shut down the run game, while Xavier Rhodes could help limit Micky T.

    On the other side, our LBs are there to be had by the likes of Rudolph, McKinnon out of the backfield & Thielen/Diggs out of the slot. I'd put it at 27-17 Minnesota, but there's definitely still a chance we come through, we'd just have to play like we did during that midseason run, and we haven't played like that for over a month.

    HUGE challenge there. Probably the right call, but no doubt there will be/would have been mass outrage about it either way.

    Julio though Think the Falcons are going to take this at the death, the bastards.

    Atlanta

    Part of me would've preferred them to win so we could knock them out in the Championship game, but I'm not confident about us getting there so I'd rather they were just out so they can't shit their way past Minnesota somehow. Kinda tempted to stay up for the AFC game, but I'll probably fall asleep before the first quarter is done.

    That game was bad for the heart. Fantastic defensive showing and Foles was just good enough.

    We'll get minced by either team next week, but I'd prefer to face the Saints. As if we don't go to the Superbowl I'd like them to.
