    I watched last week's Oklahoma State/TCU game earlier, but the recording ended as Oklahoma State were getting the ball back one score down with 2mins left

    BT Sport are really bad for that. As soon as the "slot" ends, the recording ends.

    Watching Tennessee/Georgia at the minute. Justin Martin, the lad who ran down a Florida receiver & saved a TD a couple of weeks ago, just got a pick after almost downing a punt on the 1 a few plays earlier. He's going in the Spencer Ware category of guys I liked in college despite only seeing them play about five snaps.

    Tennessee turned the ball straight back over when the centre snapped the ball up his own arse, so it was all worthwhile.

    It's a bit of a battle in the trenches game, which isn't great.

    This Tennessee qb is toss, seen him In a couple of games this year. Georgia qb is better but very young.

    Mental about that lineman though. 6 foot 6 and 320 pounds as a freshman. Imagine being a spotty 17 year old and running into him in high school.

    Yeah, I've enjoyed the games i've watched so far this season because they've all ended up being more sensible scores rather than insane shootouts. Fromm's run in a couple & his TD pass was pretty nice too, shame he doesn't understand how to slide at all

    I like the chequer pattern thing Tennessee fans do in the stands. Might get pretty patchy soon if their team keeps turning the ball over though.

    EDIT: Another turnover Big play from the running back Kelly, who looked pretty good last time, and he gets the ball pulled out while trying to fight for more yardage. Just a complete disaster from the whole offence.

    Started the fourth quarter by punting into a lineman's head for negative yardage. Why not at this point?

    Your reply made me smile so all good 😀

    My issue isn't that I viscerally dislike him like a disgruntled Eagles fan, it's just a style thing - I'd prefer the benefit of his insight after the play, not just before it happens.

    As you say I can always mute it

    Still, should be a fun time.

    I should probably watch it and see how I get on really because I went to Saints / Chargers at Wembley (nearly a decade ago now ) and the guy I was with was doing it before every play but in his case it was because he wanted to do the I-told-you-so look whenever he got it right.

    In hindsight I can't remember why he ended up being the only other one I went with given I don't really like him that much.

    That punt that Dan mentioned was great.

    Watched the rest of the game (fast forwarded to interesting moments) this morning. Tennessee have always been shit when I've seen them.

    Currently watching a recording of the Auburn v Miss State game and hopefully it gets really lopsided so I can bin it off and watch Clemson Virginia Tech instead.

    Buying one of those 2TB sky boxes is paying dividends. I've got more american football recorded than I've got time to watch. NFL and college american football season is

    If you haven't been before.

    Get into the tailgate bit as soon as possible and into the queue for the merchandise (if buying).

    I spent too long pissing around in the smaller bit, listening to Neil. There was no one there at the time but when I went to the tailgate, it was fucking heaving.

    Snead's out Dolphins have lost Byron Maxwell too though, so hopefully their secondary is dogshit.

    Only problem is Mahow has Thomas against me this week, but I have him in dynasty. Hopefully he has lots of short catches & someone else gets all the TDs. Best result for me would be Thomas being bad & Parker running wild.

    @Giggles It's on BBC, right? Not sure if you can watch it through BBC Sport website.

    Ah, so it is cheers. BBC1, 2, and 4 are free to air here too but I just never even thought of checking it, I'd only looked at Sky.

    A Coby Fleener TD here would be good.

    Hoping this is a shoot-out.

    Opted for a TD four fold of Fleener, AJ Green, Devonta Freeman and Kareem Hunt.

    Then gone for a 5 fold of New England, Atlanta, Kansas City, Baltimore and the Eagles+2.

    Think the Steelers will absolutely fuck Baltimore but history suggests the Steelers are wank at Baltimore and they struggled on the road at Cleveland.

    I think we're going to see a return to form for us today, at least defensively.

    We like to play down for the mediocre teams and play up for the bigger ones, especially with those we have a rivalry with.

    Would also be good if we actually run the fucking ball again, with Buck Allen and Alex Collins instead of West who is a bit meh.

    I've gone big on the Dolphins on the handicap here (+3 IIRC) as I think they'll win it.

    Although Thomas shouldn't be losing a one-on-one against a midget corner.

    Edit: He actually looks smaller than he is, he's 6 foot 1 but Thomas should still be muscling him out.

    It's pretty loud, but I'm going to murder someone if I have to hear 'THAT'S ANOTHER MIAMI DOLPHINS FIRST DOWN!' the whole game.

    Great start from Cutler. At least he's chucking it to Parker a lot.

    The London games seem to struggle - particularly Wembley. The pitch doesn't seem particularly well suited to NFL to be fair, it's so heavy.

    What a fucking terrible half of football. The only redeeming factor is that someone behind me brought a load of dusters to throw every time there's a penalty. They've seen quite a lot of use so far

    It's not too bad for you lot when you can just drive up or down the road but imagine getting a flight and dealing with Heathrow or Stanstead, then ending up at utter dross like this. I don't think I'd ever chance going to one.

    There was a group of 4 right in front of me last week from Baltimore.

    They didn't last all that long.

    One fucked off in the first quarter until just after half time in fit of seethe.

    Seriously?

    We were able to keep ours and some people were even walking around collecting as many as they could.

    I got 2 (there was a free seat next to me so I thought fair game) but I saw some after with like 5-8.

    Not the ones they provided, the dusters

    They weren't happy when we started throwing have them off the balcony to the stand below. Had a few security people come round to confiscate the ones they could find, but there are still a few left.
