Can only assume it's because they didn't get the international series games until late.

It did look like a late deal for the BBC thing, as I'm sure that when Sky announced their new deal, they were hailing it as meaning Sky was the only place to watch all the games (except the Superbowl).

Bill, is Rob Gronkowski any good at blocking? Just a yes or no will do.

With a win today the Patriots will become the first team since the Niners of 1983-98 to have 15 consecutive winning seasons.

Pretty huge news if it comes off.

The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder

I don't like this much at all, Saints made a mess of Graham's deal and Seattle  let Maxwell walk to save money and seemingly using it for a TE when they should have won back to back SB with what they had at TE. Got bloody Cary Williams and Tharod Simon  to play CB opposite Sherman next year and Jeremy Lane likely to start the season on PUP.

Seattle's stats with Unger playing were better too. Would have much rather kept Unger and tried to keep Maxwell than take Graham and his contract. If they had mugged Saints for Graham coz they are in a mess cap wise then would have been ok.

It could be worse tho, I mean wtf are Philly doing?

A TE they don't need (or use), no Max Unger to make the holes for Lynch to run thru as they gave him away in a trade to get the TE they didn't need. Cary Williams has to be the worst player to play in Seattle's secondary for 5 years (A short head in front of Tharod Simon. At least Byron  Maxwell made some big plays)

Jimmy Graham gets $10 million a year, Rob Gronkowski gets $6 1/2 million and Seattle have now lost 5 games this year they were leading in the 4th quarter because they can't pound the ball with a lead anymore and they are soft as shit opposite Sherman when teams are playing catch up. What a  truly terrible trade.

fell asleep at half time in the seattle game

that OL is bad. they get done for holding on a lot of plays, and wilson is still having to run everywhere to evade the rush

agree with the views on the trade above, and no hindsight is needed too

Redskins have been trying to get a game here for a while, I thought. And I believed Cincinnati were too. Was expecting those two next year.

It's a shame we don't get to see the Bills again. That was the best atmosphere of the three for sure.

My friend is a huge skins fan and he mentioned that there had been plenty of chat in the US that they could be coming over next year.

I'm pretty sure Sky just put the 6pm Eagles games on to tilt me.  Can't remember us being competent in one of them for a long time.

16-3 up in the first few minutes should have been the obvious trigger for me to bet the farm on Miami.

Miami aren't comptent in many of them, we pretty much play all our games at 6......

I think unders in the Bears/Bronco's is a very strong bet. Bronco's will be exceptionally run heavy and should be able to move it on the ground effectively, the Bears won't be able to move it against the Denver D through the air. Barring improbably large contributions from special teams and the defences this will be very low scoring imo. Under 41 at 10/11 is good, 7/2 under 30.5 also looks good with 365. I also think the Broncos will win and for the first time since Stuart explained why it is such a bad idea, I will be backing no touchdown at anything 100/1 or better. The given forecast is for the weather to be OK if cold but I've had a pretty detailed look and it looks pretty uncertain at this stage, might even be snow, which would be a bonus.
