Not slating the BBC just saying they are slack very slack.

And re paying the licence fee yup that's another issue but the BBC including radio and Internet is no better than comaprible radio and Internet services that I do not pay for. Re radio I cannot remember the last time I had a BBC radio station on.

Back to NFL, I prefer the days of Channel 4 coverage it was cheesy at times but I loved it.

To be fair to the BBC they are inexperienced in NFL coverage and chances are some youngster pulling data randomly from some NFL sire somewhere without checking. As long as their game coverage isn't as bad it'll all be good. Can't see my two teams (Chargers and Redksins) doing much again

If the BBC are showing live game at least there won't be hundreds of adverts.

remeber taking Missis T to Wenbley to watch the Pats play the re first game there. She was not looking forward to it. Because we had a good view she could understand the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so we went back a couple of years later 😁

 

[Tashyboy]

Well I had no plans of going to Wembley tomorrow, but my lad has bought two tickets for him and his pal who now cannot go so Wembley here I come.
As a Pats fan not really bothered who wins or loses, will be nice to go as a a neutral.

Might even take some toilet rolls to lob on the pitch seeing as ours is too thin.😳

I'm taking the good lady down. Been a Jets fan for as long as I can remember and this will be the first time seeing them live. Having them playing in London saved me a few bob as we had been thinking about going over to NY and taking in a game.

This will be my three I have been to at Wembley and I think you will love it.
having spoken to a load of Americans, they reckon it is the closest you get to a Super Bowl atmosphere.
the enertainnment outside before the game is excellent.

 

[Deleted member 18645]

The atmosphere at a Super Bowl is actually pretty tame as not many real fans get to go. The American Bowl games are unique because every team is represented which doesn't happen at any NFL game.

That would DEFLATE the atmosphere.

Snigger,
Just got back from the game.
got there late coz lad went out for a skin full last night.
went to buy a shirt for lad but stop entry to the fanzone/shop two hours before game starts. Eh.
but fanzone opens at 5 pm again when the game is still on. Eh who the soddin eck is gonna leave the game an hour early to buy a key ring. Planks.
Positives, sitting watching the game avin a beer, at £5.30 a bottle. the guy in front of me who had 9 must be a millionaire.
Dolphins were dire with Jets not much better.
no wonder Patriots win AFC East every year.
Another good "rip off day at Wembley.

 

[Deleted member 18645]

There were more complaints from the two teams about the travel across the Atlantic than ever before. And still idiots believe there will one day be a team in London.

Highlight for me in the brief amount I watched was Nat Coombs telling people to get in touch using the hashtag "C4NFL" before realising he was actually on BBC2.

 

[Tashyboy]

Not sure whether there will or won't be a team in London.

if there is who is gonna own it. At the mo you have two conferences with four leagues and four teams. 32 teams in total. How do you happily incorporate another.

if teams on the east coast that play in the same division are moaning about the shortest flight poss from New York to London. If London play in the NFL and draw Seattle, I bet they will be well impressed. Again if London does get a franchise you would expect them to be in a conference east league. And the re already moaning.

seeing as a London based team would have to fly to USA every other week, I would suggest it would be a bigger problem for them.

wonder what the furthest a European football team has to travel in the champs league etc.

for the record, of the three games I have seen at Wembley, that was the worst and the Dolphins are the worst team I have seen by a country mile. The quarterback was dire.

LOL.
We, me and my two lads missed out this year as we decided to try and get disabled tickeets, (see another thread regard the mess about this). Thanks god we missed out. I did watch a bit of it we had it on the TV but were sat outside in the sun (lovely). The Phins were, as you say, dire and made the Jest look good. I had a bit of fun late on in the game reading and posting on the Phins fans site, ooooo they are not happy bunnies. So best part of 300 notes saved and probably the Phins won't be selected next year, even though they sell out Wembley like lightening. I hope those in the states that were stuck with unsaleable tickets,LOL, will be put off doing this in the future !!!!

 

[Tashyboy]

Crazy face, I don't know what the problem was with disabled tickets but there were loads of empty disabled spaces. The seats my lad got where on row 8 behind the posts which was actually row two as the first six rows were covered with black sheeting.
yes the were good seats but you better off looking from above, but not in the gods.
when I went a couple of years ago we stayed in Wembley. If/ when I go again I will stay because sod standing on Wembley way for ages for a train and taking ages to drive home

There is disabled seating all the way around the damn ground, but you try getting hold of someone so that you can buy these. It is not possible. We stayed in Hammersmith last year and it took ages to get back to the tube. When we got to the entrance it was a huge concrete staircase. We were then "treated" to a walk around the back parts of the station. Lovely. Luckily we made last orders at 'spoons.
PS Philbin has been sacked !!!!!!! Yea!!!! He should never have been put in charge the soft spoken girl.

 

[Tashyboy]

Philbin sacked, quarterback should be the next one to go coz he has eyes like Ben Turpin.

QB has a brand new megga contract. The Dolphins rate him. Highly!!!!!

 

[Rooter]

if anyone want it, i have 15% off at the UK NFL store discount code. its an offer as an O2 customer. dm me if you want it.

Watched the game on tv, don't know all the ins and outs of the game but it is a good spectacle. Getting 3 hours worth of entertainment for a game that lasts 1 hour by the clock is quite good, unless its freezing or raining I suppose!

Ivory, the dreadlocked Jets running back was the only player that stood out I thought, rugby-esque in his forays forward, quarterbacks were both misplacing countless attempted passes.

Tannehill is a decent QB but was being hampered by the offensive gameplan - whenever Miami goes to the read-option like they did in the pre-season, they move the ball a lot better and he has more time in the pocket.
