So had my first NFL experience

The game itself as a contest was over early which was dissapointing as I wanted a spectacle more than a result

But the spectacle of a NFL game is great!!!!!!!!!!

Loved every moment of it.

A pity because of the score the crowd was literally half empty by half time, the US crowds are so quick to jump off and go early

If you do plan on going to an NFL game at Metlife plan the whole day, we are staying in upper manhattan and five local stops from time square. The ground is a nightmare to get, you could pay $95 (roughly) for a taxi to the stadium but your chances of getting one home are very slim, 50 taxis wait in the taxi lot once they get a passenger they take off and no new taxis come to the stadium. For $12 you catch public transport like the rest of NY

To get to the stadium it's a train to penn station, New Jersey transit to secrause, transfer to meadowlands where metlife is. All up we left at 615pm got to the ground for 7:40 for a 8.30 kick off. Game finished at 11.45 and then got back to hotel by 1:10am. Most that travelling time was waiting in lines, that was also without missing a train or transit which could happen if your not forceful enough when getting on the transport

Urgh, early intercept of Dalton and a few plays later and the Browns are 7-0 up.
I should stop watching.

Browns up 14-3 early in the 2nd.
Dalton having another shocker.
At 1/4 time the Bengals made a presentation of over 1 million dollars to Devon Still's daughter for cancer research from money raised from selling of her Dad's jersey.

Could be a blessing if the Browns win
Your margin will be better than ours

Lost 24-3. Dalton gets worse as he gets older.
Can't see us going anywhere now. Glad I had to go visit my old man in hospital and miss the last half.
Our reckon while being on Australian TV would be something like 1 win and 10 losses, possibly more losses. :(

Kevin Costner has been great for the Browns ;)

Lions looking pretty good at 7-2.... Wouldn't mind not having to get last minute wins every week though

The Jets v Bills game has been cancelled this Sunday due to snow. They will reschedlue in week 12 this must be a logistical nightmare as the teams will be playing someone else in another state as well. Also what happens with the tipping comp?

Thankfully! Had no idea how that would have affected the tipping comp had it been shifted rounds.
