NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

Oh, and Wembley is an amazing venue. So organized. Impressive architecture. Can't believe they make evacuating 90k fans at once so easy. And yes, everyone stayed until the very end. No one left early to avoid traffic or waiting in line for the tube.

The beer is mostly shit here though.

That game deserved to be a tie. Both teams gave away so many opportunities. You say WAS should have won, but Nugent missed a fucking extra point and a very makeable field goal that could have prevented the game going into OT in the first place. AJ had a crucial drop, Norman had like 13598631597136 dropped INTs, both kickers sucked, and both coaches made shit decisions. Gruden learned well from Marvin.

The environment in Wembley is solid though. It's a bit quiet - and neither team has a home advantage because the entire stadium gets loud AF for every 3rd down no matter who it is. If this game was actually a home game, the Bengals would have probably won. The crowd was about 50/50. Maybe even a little more Skins fans. But those Brit fans in attendance are great. True NFL fans. Very respectable, knowledgeable (except for a few rarely called penalties), and DRUNK crowd. Guess they aren't used to being able to drink during games. I loved it even though it ended in a bittersweet fashion. Wonderful trip. Off to Barcelona tomorrow.

I mean, Hopkins somewhere near the top of the league in touchbacks and he's hitting a 55 yarder short. I'm fine if he misses that left or right from that far, but short? Really? It wasn't from 60+. The 31 yarder he hooked to win it in OT was shorter than the XP Nugent missed. And at least the FG Nugent missed had the distance. Gruden wasting points on another drive in the 1st half going for it on 4th down instead of just trying a short field goal hurt. We just should have been up more than 3 at half. Agreed on the drops (both ways).

Not sure where it being played would have mattered all that much, not usually bitching about the refs but you got about the maximum help in that department you could get. That offensive PI on Garcon right after we recovered the fumble was unreal. We would have had 1st down on around the 33 if that play stands (~50 yard FG), instead we got backed up behind midfield and never got in range again. Hopkins is the ultimate goat either way, he just choked a FG shorter than an XP to win it, simple as that.

Not trying to sleep on the Bengals either, Alex. Your offense put in some work in the 2nd half. Just irritating to once again control total yardage by a rather large margin, time of possession, and have so many trips into the red zone that come away short. Us having 13 points combined at half time in the last 2 games was just a travesty. That's mainly where we lost (or prevented a win today).

Well, right now the QB's look about where they got drafted. But still 1 score game. Dak and Dallas came out so strong, total 180 since.

At least this should shut people up with the nonsense that Dak should start over Romo

Dallas offense looks worse with Dez back - Dak forcing things. Seems like one of those games, but pretty evenly matched so far

I'm pretty sure one (or several) of you Dallas people pointed that out earlier this week. Dallas looks better without Dez.

Not Dez's fault Dak is forcing him the ball and not even looking at wide open receivers. Seriously, people are really blaming Dez because Dak is playing so shitty?

Holy fucking shit. These BoA commercials they show on a loop during the SNF stream with the fugly chick with the dykey haircut and her lumbercuck husband seriously trigger me.

You were saying?

This game got a hell of a lot better.

Christ man, The Beast is going to be back. We need to beef up our D seriously to stay competitive.

Jenkins drop bailed Dak out of a fucking retarded play.

Not sure why you think anything's changed

So does Cleveland just pretend the Browns don't exist? The city is on the edge of winning two championships in a year, but with today's loss vs. the Jets, 0-16 is now more likely than 1-15. (Maybe the Ravens? Or Bills? Maaaybe?)

Hey man, was a nice throw to tie it up. Give the kid a little credit.

Nice, almost within FG range and you call three pass plays in a row, with less than 2:00 on the clock. JFC.

Was a better catch by Dez, tbh. Ever since that endzone INT he's been gunshy and not even looking at open receivers. All he seems to be doing is staring down Dez and throwing mostly uncatchable passes at him.

Was a nice job to hold onto it once defenders were trying to knock it out, that's for damn sure. Strong hands.

Think Dak redeemed himself just fine. Shit. Was hoping the Eagles would win.
