The pack are 3-0 and have hapless Denver up next, they will have home field advantage wrapped before anyone else, they are brilliant altogether.


Brady will bounce back, fair play to the Bills, it is great to see them on the rise as they have been in the doldrums since the three amigo's left town.

The NFL put up two status updates on their Facebook page as gaeilge yesterday.

Mar sin, Baile Átha Cliath go bhfuil ár gcuid gach curaidh Éireann Peile Sinsearach. Mura féidir leat iad a chur i gcomparáid le haon fhoireann NFL, ach amháin an chosaint curadh Green Bay Packers, cad a bheadh foireann siad agus cén fáth?

Followed by:

Mar cheann muid isteach Seachtain 3 den séasúr rialta, ní mór dúinn fós roinnt foirne atá 2-0. Cé a cheapann tú a bheith tar éis 3-0 Seachtain 3, agus a mbeidh a gcuid taifead a bhuaigh chailleadh?

Anyone know why?

Ticketmaster rang me there offering 25% off Wembley tickets. I'd say anyone who paid full price might be a bit annoyed to hear that. Didn't take them though, haven't the cash for it these days. If they call at a later date offering 40-50% off I might take them though.

With the Olympics, RWC, a late sales period due to the CBA and a recession both sides of the Atlantic I'd say it's hard shifting them.

Hardly. The record is *I think* 28 by LT about 2007 or so. Obliterate is a strong word!

What a win for the 49ers in Philly, 3-1 and should be bloody 4-0 only for Romo.

Bills and cowboys let my bet down, some great comebacks already this year.

Romo has a lot to answer for. The cowboys should be 4-0 only for him as well.

The Pats are back on track and Green Bay are unbeaten, I was at the game yesterday, great atmosphere but the security was fecked.

They implemented new measures to counteract terrorism and it was taking forever, with 30 minutes to go there was only 20 odd thousand people in the stadium and so what did they do, they said feck it and opened the floodgates.

Absolutely amazing.

A Rod is the real deal,  threw for four td's, ran for 2 more with one pick and gained 408 yards in a single game, Brett who???

Rodgers was unreal on sunday..the pass for the 4th? TD was especially good

Yankees won 10-1 last night to set up game 5 in the Bronx tomorrow night...AJ Burnett finally came good, hopefully he gets another chance in these playoffs
