Horton's halftime iceberg
Blooming Marvellous
45 minutes until the off, I am working late shifts in Scotland and just got back to my hotel. The TV as sky sports so bring on the Titans v Steelers, anyone else going to watch this one tonight.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Yep but feeling tired so might not get past half time. As a Jags fan I hope the Steelers win tonight.

7-0 first blood Steelers. Been a good tight first half.

7-7 at the half.
The Titans have been on top and should be winning really. One missed field goal and one blocked.

Wasn't it great to have the NFL back again last night.
Polamanu out for 3-6 weeks is a nasty blow for the Steelers, although it could have been worse. When I saw Crumpler come down and buckle Troys knee I thought it could have been the season.

You lucky person - I really want to go to the Lambeau Field.
But I want 2 feet of snow and -20 degrees when I see the Packers play!
Starry - want to predict Sunday's score?
I'm going 17-13 Packers

So, with the season just about to start for all but Steelers and Titans fans, how do people think their team will do?
As a Broncos fan I'm not particularly hopeful. Yet to be convinced by Orton, Marshall needs to sort himself out and Moreno is still injured so Prater could be getting most of our points. The key for us is if the new defence works (it couldn't get much worse). We have got some decent defensive players so if the new 3-4 gels then it might keep us in games. I'd be esctatic with 8-8 but realistically I think we'll finish 6-10.
Get to see two live games this year. Have tickets for Wembley and then will also be taking in Chiefs @ Jags while out visiting Billy Mays a couple of weeks later.

Don't care about the season - only two games matter:
Oct 5th Packers @ Vikings
Nov 1st Vikings @ Packers
If the Pack go 2-0 in those games but end the season 2-14 I'll still be happy.

What sort of reception will HE get back at Green Bay
I think he would have got a reasonable or mixed reception if he'd gone back with the Jets. But with the Vikes? They'd better watch out for snipers.

In response to the question from the DCH the Jags will do better than last year which is not saying much. Funnily enough I have a good feeling about Sunday's opener away to the Colts. Watch that one get shot down!
I will go for something like 8-8 or maybe 9-7. Will be nice if we still have an interest in the season going into November!
Actually as with most residents of NE Florida/Jacksonville I actually care more about the NATIONAL CHAMPION Florida Gators and am very excited about tomorrow's trip to the Swamp for what should be a fairly routine win against Troy. The bookies have Florida as a 34 1/2 point favourite. Should be slightly more interesting than last week's 62-3 win over Charleston Southern at least.
Anyone else have any thoughts about the respective merits of College vs the NFL? Juan? In fairness it's much bigger in the South than the North East.
Think Boston College and Rutgers are pretty much the only teams of any note up there.
Go Gators!

12-7 win for Broncos with an 87yd TD right at the end of the game. Great finished only ruined by the NFL Game Pass crashing out so most people who paid good money to watch their teams missed at least half of the games.

Good win by the Giants yesterday against the Redskins, although the Giants didn’t really secure it until Steve Smith gathered Washingtons onside kick with a minute and a half remaining. Half the stadium had left by then.
Great double header coming up tonight. Bills against the Patriots at 7, with the Bills having released Langston Walker – prediction the Patriots by 11. Chargers against the Raiders at 10.15 – prediction Chargers by 9.

not such a great game for us last night. urlacher is out for the season now as well. might as well quit when we're 0-1
thought cutler was let down a bit by his backs last night - i know they are young and naive but the number of runs started and cut short by knox and bennett last night was pure high school. shame. not used to seeing us throw the ball up so much, better not continue if cutler is so intent on giving away all those interceptions.
fair play to the pack though.
favre looks like a homeless tramp in his vikings jersey. saw some pics on nfl.com and all the younger, toned, muscle ridden QBs then you get favre and he looks like a tramp dressed in a jersey. didn't get to see that game yet but have the gamepass so will have a peek later and see how he did.
did the gamepass crash out for everyone?
billy mays - i am a huge ncaaf fan. we're mizzou tigers here, my brother went to that college and so we have stuck with them ever since, a good win against illinios. we've got a cracking qb - blaine gabbert. he is a sophomore, definitely a name to remember. hoping to get over to a game in october.

Watching the game throughout this afternoon.
I said to Wifey, 'one day we'll go to Lambeau'.
She gave an 'ok, I can go with that...just', type nod.
Sadly I ruined it by then saying, 'but we can only go to a Dec game, when it's minus a kazillion degrees, and snow'.
It was made quite clear that won't be happening.
