@Nocturama I pray the Broncos don’t fall prey to the Jets the way the Eagles did to us. Never underestimate the pitfalls of the dreaded “Trap” game!!
Have fun at the game man!! Sounds like it’s going to be hell of an experience. Pics of course!!

Of course, pics! Might be delayed if we get a smack down though - my mate will not let me live it down, so I could be licking my wounds for a day or two!

Was anyone else at the Browns / Vikings at Tottenham Stadium on Sunday?
There was a complete meltdown of the ticketing app, with thousands outside the stadium during kickoff.
Massive fuck up, with no contingency plans to deal with the situation.
An NFL official said to the hundreds/thousands queuing for assistance that they would delay the kickoff until everyone got into the ground. Well, that was never going to happen, given the TV revenue for millions was always going to get priority over the 60k poms trying to get in.
Let's hope they have fixed it before next Sunday.

I'm going to the game this weekend, they've ditched the OnePass ticket app, got my ticket safely in my Apple Wallet. I've been going since the very first year and it's always a great day out.

Go Steelers!! First NFL game with my Dad -
Awesome, dude!

@Choko
go Steelers!. Bring home the W against the Brown Stains. I’ve got tickets to the Colts game in a few weeks.
Took the family to Green Bay game in 2023. I think we won in OT

The less said about the game, the better…except to say that at least we didn’t get swept away by half time! Despite the game, was fantastic day out.

A lot of orange in the crowd!
IHSH-101-BB and 555S-21s a great pairing too.

@Denimhead-0 The joke during Covid was... Just wear a Jets jersey...You won't catch anything!
-
@Nocturama I’m sorry you had to pay to see such a garbage display of a game. I could barely watch it myself.
-
Thanks for all the supportive comments!
I feel sorry for the (many) people who flew over to watch it! -
@Oaktavia - I didn’t see a Ravens shirt all day, until 1 appeared in the pub after the game… I blame the darkness for the poor image, not the fact that I’d spent the day drinking with my buddies…
-
@Nocturama haha ahh we suck but at least we're not the Browns. Please don't check the edit history on this post. Or do, if you want a chuckle.

Man what exactly is going on with Buffalo anyway?
The Bears game was closer than it should have been. The officiating was really bad. They took a touchdown off the board on a very questionable call that had no impact on the play (the network’s rules analyst and Aikman disagreed with the call), falsely flagged DJ Moore offsides (after initially calling it on the defense) on a critical 3rd down conversion, and extended numerous Commanders drives with questionable, at best ticky tack calls. This crew includes a first season referee and it shows. They have thrown more flags than any other crew this season. That crew desperately needs to make dramatic improvements in short order.
The announcers were similarly a letdown, glazing Daniels and even excusing failures (like talking about how the ball was wet and slippery when he gave the game away with a fumble). No such charity was extended to Williams; even when he would complete a pass, Aikman would carp that he should have done it better. Not sure what was going on there but it was bizarre.
Williams is on track to put up a top 5 first couple of seasons for a QB of the last couple of decades but perhaps due to all the hype all the noise makes it sound like he’s a bust.
