NFL 2017-18 season

[Sheriff Fatman]

Sounds great! Good to see the Jags staying loyal to London and I guess the Raiders know next season won't be the one for them. Best line up yet by far.

Totally agree that it's the best line up.

Who are the other 5 teams again?

[Tal]

Missed the start of the announcement, but I think this is the detail.

Week 6 - Seahawks @ Raiders - White Hart Lane

Weeks 7&8 (order TBC, both at Wembley):
Titans @ Chargers
Eagles @ Jaguars (GTFI!!!!)

Yippee!

Well, the negative “the UK only get the games the US don’t want” crowd are put firmly back in their box! 5 out of 6 teams won at least 9 games this year and the other was the Raiders who the $100 Milion man Mr Gruden will sort out! GREAT LINE-UP #NFLUK #NoBlowOutsIn2018

Three good games for once.

[KarmaDope]

I'm definitely going to Raiders/Seahawks.

If I can find the cash, also going to Eagles/Jags.

[Tal]

Three good games for once.

Agreed, but there's a part of me that is thinking differently.

Titans v Chargers

Phil Rivers is told not to throw the ball for 3 quarters and then has to perform keyhole surgery with throws to what's left of his receivers.

On the other side, Malarkey is telling Mariota to do the opposite of what everyone in the crowd can see he should be doing.  

Could be a classic!

On the other hand, it's a heavily underrated O-line against an underrated front seven. That looks a good battle.

Should be some cracking games, I'm even pondering a season ticket and driving down from Derby for them, convincing the wife to give me 3 weekends in a row could be a bit of effort though.

If they do season tickets anyway, few rumours they'll only do individual tickets. Worryingly also suggestions that Spurs season ticket holders may get first shot at the tickets there as well which is bullcrap. Hopefully it won't happen.

Obviously the Seahawks is going to be the most popular, and I'll be trying for that, but I love Philip Rivers so that game is my second choice.

Seems we only have 3 year as they want a soft launch on White Hart Lane (and wanted to see how back-to-back-to-back games go) and seems they may well replace our missing game this year without an extra one next year.

[Ironside]

[Tal]

Now that's sarcasm!

@MikePereira

Reason for my silence was due to the fact that I left the production room and my computer for the bar and a couple of Titos. Wish I wouldn't have because it is clear the refs cost the Titans the game and they are the better team at least in the minds of those that are tweeting me

1h

Ben Roethlisberger on 4th-and-1 rush attempts in his career, including playoffs:

19 attempts
18 first downs

Highest success rate (94.7 percent) of any player with over 10 attempts since 2004 (including playoffs)

Steelers on 4th-and-1 today:
0-for-2 (Bell run, Ben pass)

[TightEnd]

He audibles out of 4 4th down called run plays. Not always the coaching, though I thought Haley called an odd game too. Threw early too often

[Ironside]

what a finish
