The NFL Thread

[Browning]

I'm fairly sure you can do it all through Ticketmaster, but my friend I go with sorted it all out so I'm not 100% sure.

Edit- He reckons he had to join NFL UK, so it's probably best to do that just to be sure. He also isn't sure if you can do just Wembley, maybe it was only offered because we had just Wembley previously and they can't exactly force us to go to a new venue. The website certainly suggests the tickets are for "all 4 games" but I do know the Twickenham deal is technically up so we may not have to go there again. It was for 3 games over 3 years but they did state it could be "1 game this year, then 2 games next year and then 0 games in year 3" which we are currently on for. Reports are they want to extend it, I'm hoping not.

[Giggles]

Sounds like a whole setup where I wouldn't have a hope of getting them for the game if they were coming over.

[Browning]

I don't think anyone on here has ever struggled to get tickets for individual games, and I know people who have rocked up and bought one from the Stub Hub stands outside, though not sure what they charge. If you were looking for say 4 seats together you may struggle but getting 1-2 shouldn't be hard.

I'd be going myself. Only thing I'd want though is bottom deck. Wouldn't care where but those top decks in new stadiums are too steep.

[Browning]

Yea, I reckon you'd be fine. It's worth signing up to get notification of exactly when they go on sale and just in case you need to be registered.

[Giggles]

Yeah I'll do a password reminder thing in case I already have one.

Or would it be the same account as NFL Game Pass?

[Browning]

I don't believe it's the same, it's not recognising my details anyway, but Game Pass has been known to do that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I had no problem buying my ticket for the Ravens game this year.

I logged on about 10 minutes after they opened and had my pick of seats (I went half way line in the 500 blocks which is the top tier, I want middle tier this year). There was also a load of touts there too anyway.

[Gray Fox]

Isn't New White Hart Lane scheduled to be ready for an NFL game in 2018? Barring delays obviously.

I think we're due at least 5 games. 2 at Wembley, 2 at WHL and 1 at Twickenham.

As for tickets, you're absolutely fine buying on the day of sale so long as you aren't going in a big group. Even then breaking into two smaller groups is good.

[Browning]

I don't think WHL is going to be ready for 2018. Hopefully I'm wrong because it will be much better than Twickenham.

Only possible date I can find is Sky suggesting the target date was in summer 2018. If it's on time it'd be good to host a late October/November game or two.

[Dan]

Just a reminder that the TTH Awards are open to vote on until New Years Day. You can find part one here, and the second part, which I have just added a couple of categories I'd missed off, here.

Remember, send your votes by PM

Johnny Football could be going to Canada to the team that used to employ Jeff Reinebold.

If he doesn't get back into the drugs/drink/battering women he'll probably do quite well with their rules, get signed by someone like the Bears after a season and do fuck all again.

[Giggles]

Reinbold is gone back to the CFL too.

Davante Adams has been locked up for 4 years, $58m, $18m bonus.

[Dan]

Bucs are sticking with Dirk Koetter

[Foe]

Gruden will be gutted.

I don't think dirk is strict enough for jameis.

Pagano and John Fox are gonners on Monday.

[Gray Fox]

We've just activated Sidney Jones from IR. For those who dont remember, he was the CB who was a projected 1st round pick and ranked 5th best Corner in the draft. He popped his Achilles in his pro day and has been recovering since. We nabbed him in the 2nd round with the expectation being he missed this season.

Hopefully he can come in and deliver on the hype. We'll really need him in the play-offs if we want any chance of winning a game.

[Foe]

I attempted to record the USC v Ohio State game last night and I've spent all day watching it in the background. I say all day, what I've discovered is that for some reason ESPN decide to hit 'recycle' numerous times through the recording. I seem to have about 3 recordings of the 3rd quarter back-to-back.

Not been a great game for Darnold to show off his stuff. USC special teams is also terrible, just absolutely woeful.

He's the Washington guy who came out with Budda Baker and another DB who went pretty early too no?

Elway is working his way around the bowl games with big QBs for his number 3 pick.

RIP PAXTON.

[Gray Fox]

He's the Washington guy who came out with Budda Baker and another DB who went pretty early too no?

The very same. He died on Washingtons pro day.

[Foe]

The very same. He died on Washingtons pro day.

Yeah I remember that now. Non contact injury, just running a route and basically collapsed in a heap.

There's loads of bowl games on at the moment. Lamar and the Louisville mob lost to Miss. State (lol) and theres currently a Washington v penn state fracker right now. Miami v Wisconsin is on after too.

[Foe]

Saquan Barkley is faaaaaaast.

[Foe]

This is on today gents.

I of course back the redskins to beat the Giants. Well done Foe. Well. Done.

[Foe]

The browns are getting rolled here by Pittsburg backups. That must be demoralising.

[Dan]

Good to see the Browns getting pasted by the Steelers' backups.

EDIT: Foe

[Dan]

How does that fake catch on the punt keep working?

[Dan]

JuJu

He's had a pretty good first season, I think it's fair to say.

[Foe]

There's a video of him on youtube getting drafted and taking a boombox out onto the beach by his house and he and his family all just bail into the sea.

Destined for Canton.

The delayed reaction secret sniper fall was also great.

[Dan]

Alvin Still don't think he's ever hit full sprint. Panthers going 3 & out after giving up a TD is good too.

Tyler Lockett with a return TD of his own at the same time as Kamara, although I wasn't paying attention when they showed that one.

[Dan]

Amari Cooper's going to have alright looking numbers at the end of the season, and they're all going to have come from about five catches

[Dan]

Marquise Goodwin just got destroyed, almost literally. They're probably going to have to scrap him off the floor & remind him what his name is. Y'know what, I'm not sure it was really an illegal hit either, despite ten thousand flags flying. Goodwin was pretty much squatting on the floor by the time Countess hit him, so it's hard to say he went high or anything. Might've launched himself though, I'd need to see another replay to make sure. Either way, Marquise Goodwin is going to the hospital.

Jameis

EDIT: Colts have fired Pagano, to the surprise of almost nobody. Not even Pagano himself. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackson is going to be coming back after he jumps in Lake Erie, and Bill O'Brien's chance to stay in Houston has gone up as GM Rick Smith is taking extended leave to be with his wife.

[Dan]

How you feeling at the moment @Sir Andy Mahowry?

EDIT: Jameis again He's such a Bortles.

Great catch in traffic from Sanu as well. Not sure you can say for sure that was on the turf, but no doubt it'll come back anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just turned it on to see Alex Collins score

What a run that was.

[Dan]

Typical Saints clusterfuck

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What time does the vote close btw?

I still do need to do my second votes.

[Dan]

Don't look at the highlights beyond the Chris Moore punt return & TD. From what I've seen they've been a mess today. Fucking BUFFALO are getting into the playoffs at the minute

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only need a win though.

More than enough time for our defence to win it even with Flacco monging it up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and Chris Moore really needs to be move involved in the passing game. He's actually a great catcher who has done so much on special teams this year.

Deserves more snaps than Maclin and Perriman for sure.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a handoff

Mariota and Henry

'Mon Sacksonville.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Kenyan Drake lobbing a Bills helmet away after a fight.

[Dan]

Miami may as well try to KO a few Bills on their way out this season. They've already potentially lost Shady, so they're fucked either way, but the more players they lose the funner it'll be when they get pasted in their first playoff appearance of the millennium.

[Dan]

Get fucked Cam

[Dan]

Get fucked Buffalo

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at the Saints (not that it matters).

[Dan]

Well thank fuck the Falcons have stepped up today There's no fucking chance we beat either the Rams or the Vikings if we end up playing them. We need to get ourselves some D-Line & linebacker upgrades this offseason, and a receiver who can help us on third down would be nice too. A decent special teams unit would be fantastic as well, but that's asking for miracles or Kamara injuries.

Kevin Byard is a baller

[Dan]

Raiders have fired Jack Del Rio, which suggests that Jon Gruden is on his way.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My arse cheeks are proper clenched.

Chuck Clark is doing well on this drive.
