American Football Thread

[Strawb]

The main reason I've sided with the Steelers this time is there is already alot of love towards Green Bay, so I thought I'd go against the flow and go with Pittsburgh this time.

Good point there Bruce. Hopefully it will be a close game with the Packers winning.

[Jim05]

As a long time skins fan I always go for the NFC side to win ( except the scum cowboys).
Would like the pack to win but think steelers will win by a dozen.

[Strawb]

I am going with this
GB 27
PB 21

Strange for a woodville supporter not to be able to read properly

plus calling the team PACKERS made no sense ... what the hell is a PACKER ? .... now I know.

I will admit to being the second Pecker and Packer for different reasons.

Go the Packers! At least they still exist (Us against the Establishment)

While everyone with a favourite team should stick with them,
perhaps Aussies who haven't committed to following an American Football
team should choose Green Bay, if only for the fact that they are green & gold.
We could adopt them as 'our' team for Australia.

Who knows, they might start sending them out here to play exhibition games
against various oponents. Then those who follow other teams might get the
chance to see their favourites occasionally too. Just a thought.

Caaarrrrrnnnn the PACKERS !!!

As good a reason as any. For me Green Bay looks prettier and looking at the notable residents on Wiki I think Tony Shalhoub is funnier than Michael Keaton...Go the Packers

you can stick that idea some where sabre I'm sticking with the Bears.....go STEELERS

[Strawb]

Packers have deferred to receive the ball till the Second Half. Not long to kickoff now.

[Strawb]

3 and out for the Steelers didn't get the first down.

[Strawb]

Packers got their first down then went three and out. Punt into touch back.

[Strawb]

good for a first down to the steelers then 3-0 with a flag for the next go for the Steelers. Still no score with 8 minutes to go.

Nice work Strawb, the fun police here won't let us watch it
