Sunday Funday

by

Week 11 is here already!
Holy crap this season has smoked by quicker than you can imagine.

So where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
If you have never been to London before and are expecting an NFL experience like back in North America, you are going to need to temper down your expectations.

London is NOT a 24 hours city, sports bars generally close by 11, and the casinos are a great place to pay £8 for a pint and get no sound.
Or worse have your pockets picked.

It’s always nice when you can sort a traditional British pub that has NFL & is open late.

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End is not central London, but it’s close enough to it that you can watch all the games and still be able to shoot back into town.

You can get to the pub either via Finsbury Park station or Hornsey or Harringay train stations.
Alexandra Palace is right up the hill as well.

There are 3 massive TVs, plus the largest projector in North London.
It’s a great place to watch the games as well as enjoy some wings, burgers, and tasty cold beers.

So join us this Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
See you Sunday.

Oh Myles!

by

Myles Garrett is an idiot. Of course, you all know this by know after seeing that wild TNF game on Thursday Night Football.
He has been suspended for the rest of the season, and it’s considered ‘indefinite’, which could mean forever.
Luckily, no criminal charges were filed, as he could easily have faced a prison sentence for his reckless behaviour.

The Game

TNF on Nov 14th, 2019 was not a very important game with two teams barely able to muster a playoff run this season, but it was an emotional one.
It’s no secret that these two teams HATE each other.
Whether it’s the divisional rivalry, a lingering resentment amongst blue collar cities, or the fact that every time that they play each other-they get amped up.
This was a down and out dirty game.
With JuJu taking a blatant helmet to helmet hit, and after the play trash-talking increasing, it was evident that something was going to happen.
Violence was on the menu.

The Refs

What did the refs do?
In a season where refs have been on everyone like glue, you would have thought that they might have anticipated that this was going in a bad direction.
After the hit on JuJu’s head, did they take a moment to address the players and coaches and say ‘he guys, it’s time to tone this down.’
They didn’t.
This could have been avoided, and the refs should heed some of the blame in allowing this to go this far.

The Result

Myles Garrett apologised profusely after the incident, but as we know-that is just not enough.
When you watch the replay and see the intensity in his eyes, there was only one colour.
Red.
A red eyed intensity to bash the crap out of Mason Rudolph and everyone who got in his way.
No matter what he says after the incident, he was the one who pushed harder and harder throughout the game.
Did Rudolph kick him in the balls and try to rip off his helmet?
Hard to tell.
But he’s the QB. He is afforded a degree of protection, and if the refs did see something, then they should have nipped that in the bud asap.
Myles is going to need to disappear this season.
Just shut up, don’t be like Burfect, and accept your punishment.
If they decide you should NEVER play in the NFL again.
Accept that too.
Time to grow up son.

NFL Fights

by

Fight! Fight! Fight!
The refs are tough in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean they can stop all of the testosterone flooding onto the field every Sunday.
Fighting has continued in the NFL, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that!

Not sure if this video will get us flagged, but we thought we would share a nice little compilation of NFL fights that have happened up until week 10 in the NFL.

Again-these rights belong to the NFL-so this could get taken down-but what a shit show!

What would happen if we allowed some fighting in the NFL like the NHL?
If the NFL allowed 2 dudes to helmet off and batter each other for a few minutes until one capitulates?
Bring it on.

Who do you think the toughest guys in the NFL are?
Aaron Donald is a beast, Kahlil Mack could mess you up, and JJ Watt could crush you with a smile.
Not the same in the ring though.

Greg Hardy made the transition to MMA, so it only seems a matter of time before other players start doing it as well.

 

 

Week 10 Review

by

Week 10 is done and dusted, and we have learned a lot from the games & upsets that shook our hearts in the NFL.
The Saints took a mushroom stamp to the cheek, the Bills tossed salad on their winning ways, and the Bears struggled to find ways to move the ball.
Which teams look solid going forward?

Wade & Ryan break down all of the games, as well as live stream this podcast on Facebook.

They go over some of the big games and surmise what went wrong, what went right, and how it will determine their forward fate.
Some of the games they discuss include:

Chiefs vs Titans

Ouch. Ryan Tannehill made you look stupid, and that hardly ever happens. Mahomes reverted to his Kermit self and was a total Muppet in this game, as the Titans D clamped down. Henry looked phenomenal for a guy you would normally keep on your fantasy bench.
What will the Chiefs do going forward?

Bills vs Browns

The Browns needed a win, and got it-but did it in a ramrod fashion. How many times do you need to be inside the 10…and still not score? The Bills looked like they were calling it in, already planning their Sunday night wing plans.
The Browns won, but are still hopeless.
Coaching does matter huh?

Falcons vs Saints

Matty Ice is on fire! Too bad the Saints looked like they were soaked in accelerants. The Saints had room to lose, but not by this bad and this much. They actually made the Falcons look good, which is a bad thing to do.
Brees and Payton need to get this offence humming again and score at will.
If they don’t learn from this game, it’s trouble.

Ravens vs Bengals

Watching the Bengals, is like watching a documentary on killing tigers, then harvesting their organs as entrees at Chinese weddings. It is sad, and you wonder what actual real good comes out of it.
The Ravens and LJ were riding high after smacking the school bully the previous week.
That bully will be back though, and daddy has some plans.

Lions vs Bears

The Lions were down the incredible Matt Stafford, and still managed to make a game out of it. Depleted and broken, they were close to stabbing the Bears in the eye. Mitch Trubisky looked like his usual self in the first half, then came alive in the second half to shred some points.
He still is Mitch though, and committing to him going forward is an issue.
