"NFL Season starts again"

Anyone catch the Colts vs Patriots game to kick off the start of the 85th NFL season? Was a great way to start the season and i hope all the games are as entertaining. Was in a strange situation where i couldn't care who actually won this as i find New England to be horribly boring and Ty Law to be very annoying (he takes arrogance to a whole new level, he makes Jose Mourinho look like the most modest man in the world) and Indianapolis aren't much better with Peyton 'Most over-hyped player ever' Manning leading the charge.

Was good to hear the greatest commentating duo in all of sports Al Michaels and the legend John Madden back once again, no one can beat them.

But anyway the game, few interceptions thrown by Manning showing just how average he is and proving once more New England is not his favourite place (Vick and McNabb are far better) and Ty Law spending most of the game on the bench and when he did come on he got schooled by Marvin Harrison (and why Manning wasn't throwing to him more often i've no idea, he's your best reciever you muppet, use him) Great ending as well with McGuinness sacking him and leaving VanDerJagt with a hard field goal which he missed when he should have only had about a 35 yard attempt to knock threw the sticks.


Bring on the rest of the season

Yay.

Hey Jude.

Is teh address @skysports.co.uk or .com?

From what I've seen. Hail Mary's really are a last resort. They're such a gamble that anything can happen. After an interception the offences defence can be all over the place.

What risk? You've got guys like Kearse in your offensive line. That's if the ball even gets that far back to them, he's 60 yards out that means the ball's going to be in the air a while, enough time for the defender and reciever to be close together so whoever catches it is going to the ground.

If it was Cleveland or someone like that then yea there's risk but this is Philly

The Patriots could come back from 7 when they're under pressure. I doubt the Eagles could turn 7 points around having just given the Patriots a mentle boost.

You're tying, agaisnt undoubtedly the hot favourites to win, why waste an opportunity when you could possibly double your score?

I have.

They won't read it. It's needlessly offensive and didn't come across right.



Thank god Peyton Manning didn't make it to the Superbowl. I hate it when people start talking about him...

Why risk it? You're tying. Why go for the jugular when there's a whole half?

Gah.
I want to email in and tell him why he should go to the Superbowl, but Gmail's beuing assfaced and won't let me on.
