As a Seahawks fan, Monday night was interesting. Makes Bryce Lawrence and Wayne Barnes look like geniuses with perfect 360 degree vision.

Got to say the most blatant offensive PI was missed at the end of the game.. Add that to the fact it was a INT not a catch..

I know calls went both ways.. both sides had phantom PI's throughout one packer was called for PI despite being on the floor at one point iirc.

And we as rugby fans complain about refereeing. BZHopenside is on point.

That being said, 9 sacks on Aaron Rogers. Refs had nothing to do with that!

True but that was not a Touchdown for the Seahawks to win the game.

These refs are a joke. I read somewhere that one of the refs was an ex lingerie football league ref.

Sportscentre reporting deal agreed with proper refs and that they could be back by Sunday

Bit of history made in New Orleans last night. Drew Brees passes the long-standing record of consecutive matches with a TD pass, a record previously held by Johnny Unitas who had 47 consecutive games with a TD pass. It was such a big deal the league allowed Sean Payton into the stadium to witness the event.

I'm trying to think of a rugby equivalent, I guess scoring a try in consecutive games is the nearest.

Brees has been outstanding for the Saints ... bet you the Dolphins are kicking themselves for not singing him when they had the chance.

Same with San Diego, Brees was there with Rivers and they didn't think Brees would last physically so let him leave

Aye, Rivers is not bad but he is often found wanting in the big pressure games.

 

[SelimNiai]

He's in that group of QB's with Romo, Smith, Flacco where theyre close to being added to the top echelon of QB's but need a good playoff run or a breakout season before they are considered

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Romo is in danger of dropping down a level. So disappointed with him this season.

Yeah, they missed out on Flynn too (though time will tell if that was a bad move or not) and Tannehill is looking better.

Yea Rivers is a good QB. Very underrated.

That audible to Meachem in the first quarter with that touch pass was pure class.

You forgot Matt Ryan (the NFL's current "kneel down and suck" boy).

Flacco has won most of his playoff games. That is hardly his issue (unlike Rivers or Ryan or Romo). He was a dropped pass and a shanked FG fro, leading the Ravens to a Superbowl...

Good team to have come over. The 49's have a large UK fanbase through their visits in the 80's. I must get to that game, gutted I can't go to this years one anymore

 

[admartian]

I'd love to go to that.

Who do you guys have for today's game?

 

[SelimNiai]

Normally Steelers but they were hardly threatening on Sunday and Tennessee have shown they can click this year. Im on for a shock ***ans win

Trap game huh?

I can see it being close but the Steelers pulling it out (short week). The ***ans look miserable this year - especially without a running game. IF Chris Johnson - or any other ***ans running back can put it on, they'd be respectable.
