American Football fans.

Been a follower of the 49ers since way back in the 444 days.

To be honest, the way we've started this and the way e Seahawks started last night I'm not sure I want us to win tonight!! Would be a tough watch next weekend that's for sure.....

That said, the Seahawks should have buried the saints last night, must be a concern.......

Good games so far though, hopefully the good watching continues :cheers:
 
I can't see either of these sides getting past the Seahawks. Kaepernick & Newton are brilliant young QBs but Seattle have an equally good one if not better in Wilson but they also have great strength throughout the whole franchise.

Think this year is going to be Seehawks year even with how Denver are playing I think Seattle are just stronger through the whole line up. Like you say though good game so far and hoping in a way that the Chargers beat the Broncos as well just to upset the apple cart a bit.

Fair point, Seahawks looked frighteningly good in the first half last night, only niggle as I say is that they should have hands the saints an absolute hammering and couldn't seem to do it for some reason.

Also agree about Wilson, perhaps not as hyped as some of the other young QBs but probably the best of the lot.

Good win that.

Will "enjoy" watching the Seahawks taking us to the cleaners in the championship game!!

Good game and a good win, hard to see them getting past Seahawks as you say and I predict. They need the defensive line to be completely on their A game, it's the playoffs and a one game affair but will be a good game.

Looking forward to Broncos v Chargers now, hoping Phil Rivers and the Chargers can open them up but feel Peyton Mannings going to be to good.
 
Well, that was a fun weekend of NFL!

I'm pleased the Hawks one, but like many above, it does worry me slightly that we struggled to put points on in the second half! I was getting a bit worried towards the end! 49ers should be an exciting match, they seemed one step above the Panthers! Considering how much the bigged up Cam Newton before the match, it didn't seem like he had much of a chance to really get going!

On the other side, I only saw bits of the Chargers @ Broncos, so don't know whether the Chargers were poor, or the Broncos were! Sounds like another good match next week, who is going which way?

Superbowl predictions everyone? I'm going with Patriots v Seahawks (biased). As to who would win that, I haven't watched enough NFL to know!

We've struggled on offense the last couple of games, but it was clear on Saturday that we game planned around Percy Harvin. When we was taken out (which was clearly the saints plan). It all kind of went to pot. Hopefully he'll play Sunday but we'll have a plan B in case he goes down again.

The Niners haven't scored more than 19 points against us in the last 4 games and they don't seem to have an answer for Beast Mode. Kaepernick thinks he's heard loud at the CLink....if the noise level is anything like the NFCCG in 2006, he hasn't seen anything yet. I expect it go be close, but I like us to take it at home.
 
Was good to watch - impressed with the Broncos - played a strong running game and Peyton kept the passes short - bullied the Chargers. The defence were impressive but got lazy in the last 6 mins. Play like that and should beat the Patriots. Think 49ers will sneak past the Seahawks
 
Tickets go on sale on Thursday for this years games, out of interest where have you lot sat in previous years. We've been behind the sticks both times and it's a good view albeit a bit far away.
My bro wants sideline tickets this year, he reckons upper sideline has the best view (I'm not going to question his judgement lol) but then again lower sideline is right there near the players.
:confused:

To be fair, there is hardly a bad seat anywhere in Wembley, it's very well designed.

Upper sideline will give you a better vantage point of the whole field. I've sat 6 rows from the sideline when I was out in Seattle. It's great for heckling the players/having a bit of banter, but you can't see stuff very clearly when plays are run on the far side of the field.

And at Wembley, you're not even that close to the sideline anyway, because the first 10-15 rows are blocked off due to the height of the first bunch of rows.
 
Yeah, I've told him bottom of the upper tier, Cowboys side of course if it's shown when they go on sale :thup:
My brother is a Wembley slut anyway so he'll have done his homework lol.
 
I'm going to 2 games wanted to go all 3 with a Season ticket but its our Anniversary on the day of the Raiders v Dolphins. So i'll be going to Falcons v Lions (looking forward to seeing Megatron play in the flesh) and Jaguars v Cowboys.

I hope the Jags put up a better fight than they did against the 49ers as it got embarrasing towards the end with the way Kaepernick virtually beat them on his own both passing the ball and running it himself. Got to admit though they have the best mascott Jaxon De Ville who did a bungee leap from Wembley roof right before kick off.

They will. They're in good hands with Gus Bradley. They have a decent 1st round pick in the draft this year so they'll be able to fill quite a few needs. They'll be a totally different team come September.

EDIT: Plus, the Cowboys are a horrible football team and will continue to be until Jerry puts his ego to one side and hires a proper GM.

Which side did the Jags pick as their sideline?
I seem to recall reading the home team get to decide which side they want ie "royal box side". Can't find that info anywhere.

Not sure what side they've pick I would assume it is the Royal Box side due to its location, I got an email from NFL UK to state if your registered with the Union Jax supporters group then your tickets for the fanzone go on Sale on the 16th Jan and they are £65 adults and £17.50 kids. Assume they'll anounce the "fanzone location at the time of sales"
I'm not Jags fan so not worried where I sit, though I do like the fact they've committed to UK games for a number of years.

Agreed, I think Bradley is a good fit for them and would like to see them improve next year they got a few holes to fill what with Gabbert and Henne at QB neither seems to light up the world and ok as back ups but they did bag a few wins towards the end of regular season. I do like MJD something about I have an affinity for, seemed to be only him and Cecil Shorts III that really had anything about them at Wembley last year.
 
3 tickets for The Dolphins v Raiders. Whoooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Can't wait. It's my lads 21st on that day and the tickets are for him. (and us)
 
Get in there ! We are off to the Super Bowl !!

Impressive performance from the Broncos and Manning was just perfect
