OT: American footy thread

Also, that TD leap for Stewart... my god...

 

[Kornstar]

Depending on who you ask, he's the only player to ever fumble a ball as well...

Good point.

Pretty impressive.

Who are you merkins wanting to win?

I have no idea why but i am going for Denver ... honestly - no idea why. Maybe cos back when i was young and interested in nfl denver were a strong team and carolina never existed ... plus denver seems more the underdog going into this

One of the most boring games of the season so far

What's wrong with recognising a good play? We both want Denver to win, we've said so already.

We're both Colts fans so we have a soft spot for Peyton.

Merkin.

I don't think strider was having a go at us, I think it was a genuine question :lol:

It was ... i didnt read back through the thread to see who you were going for :lol:

Pretty much what I figured. Just pure laziness really.......so strider!

Fair enough, my mistake, re-reading it now, I can see it as a friendly "merkin".

:lol: ... all good ... my fault for being lazy and not reading properly .... of course being called a merkin on here is a term of endearment

 

[Kornstar]

If Peyton was the player he was even 2 years ago they would be so far ahead it's not funny.

I expect Newton to really turn up soon and the Panthers will get home.....

 

[strider]

I admit i dont watch alot of nfl but i see merkins fumbling all the time

Yet hayne got his ass nailed to a cross over his mistakes .... not saying he didnt f**k up tho ... and maybe his rate of f**k ups was higher

They were look for any excuse to stitch him up. Yeah 3 fumbles in 6 games (two of which weren't directly his fault) isn't good by any standard, but they were almost happy that he had a stumbling start.

 

[Kornstar]

This turnover could cost the Broncos the game.

 

[Kornstar]

One of the most boring games of the season so far

The defences are just exceptional, it has been great to watch imo!

 

[ash411]

Going for 2 on that was just laying the slippers in... Gonna be hard for the Panthers now.

 

[Kornstar]

Panthers choked big time.

Well done Broncos D and congratulations on a great career, Peyton.

Far from great.Was maybe 3-4 big offensive plays all game.So many dropped balls Most the big plays came from errors.Some forced errors yes. But overall not a whole lot of excitement in that one. At no point did a clutch play get made

I dunno, I beg to differ, some of the Bronco's defensive plays were pretty clutch. They were dominant in defense, I know defense isn't sexy, but it was a great display, they had Cam Newton on the back foot, and very uncomfortable from the kick off.
