Bristolhibby Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Getting fiesty in the battle of the 2-11s That was a mental end to the game. Which brings me to the question of why is the lateral pass not used more often? Snap the ball, make some room, then pass away like rugby.

Although the TV show was actually pretty good as well if you ignore season 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap the ball, make some room, then pass away like rugby. J It happens a hell of a lot more in the movies than it does in real life. It worked in The Longest Yard and Varsity Blues too I think! Cal v Stanford and the Music City Miracle are two exceptions I can think of, but generally possession is so important that no team would ever employ it as a tactic, barring as a last resort.

Bristolhibby Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just got season tickets for next years International Series for me and the lad. Can't wait. They will be my first American Football games. Just need to figure logistics of getting from Chippenham to Wembley and back on a school night.

Ally Bongo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Put a Sunday accumulator on last night - taking San Francisco on the spread giving 3 of a start to the chargers as my first bet Watched the first half and went to my bed with San Francisco 21 points up and steamrollering San Diego who had players dropping like flies Imagine waking up to find out San Diego had won 38-35 after overtime FFS Edited December 21, 2014 by Ally Bongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Are you looking forward to cheering for a Patriots win today Ally?? Definitely not - that strategy was blown last week in typical Jets style ! All depends how much yoos want it i guess - Edelman is a big miss I have taken the Jets on the spread getting 10.5 of a start but my predictions are way off recently as youll see from my post above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 FFS My treble was Jets +10.5 Steelers -3.5 and the fooking Dolphins -4.5 Was hoping for a tie & OT to try and save it but a last seconds safety blows it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be my first American Football games. Just need to figure logistics of getting from Chippenham to Wembley and back on a school night. J Season tickets seemed a really good deal - was checking today and you can get all three games for just over a ton. Cost more than that for one game at Soldier Field last week!! Might be tempted, just have to work out who to cheer for in each game, and also hope the boss lets me schedule a few London meetings those weeks.

TartanTeddy Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 So from the experts on here, and Ally Bongo , what are everyone thoughts for the playoffs?? I can't see past the Patriots going all the way to the Superbowl in the AFC, Bronco's look a bit fragile and the Pats will have the bye and home field throughout. NFC looks far tougher to call, but Seattle seem to have hit form just at the right time and beyond the Packers at Lambeau, I'm struggling to see who can stop them. Guess this Sunday will give a clearer picture, but I'll stick with Patriots v Seattle Superbowl and the Pats to edge it in a close low scoring final.

TT £160 for me and the boy. £52.50 for a kids season ticket is a steal. Three interest free instalments. First in January, then I think it's May and August. Roughly £50 each instalment.
