Even though a chunk of decent teams are on a Bye, it doesn’t mean that quality of this weekend’s match-ups are diminished in the slightest. The first match sees 2 teams that are streaking away from the rest of the AFC as the Baltimore Ravens play at the Houston Texans (1800 – Sky Sports) – the injury-plagued Ravens might just be the underdogs this time. The must-not-miss game this weeks is where the NY Jets take the short trip to the New England Patriots (2115 – Sky Sports) – the Pats should beat a freewheeling Jets team, but stranger things have happened. Another interdivisional game finds the AFC North’s Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers (0120 Mon am – C4). Our Monday night game is an encounter that any zoo would draw huge crowds for as the Lions take on the Bears (0130 Tues am – BBC) – Grrrrrrrr!!

wait, the hangout has only just closed! hullo nfl.
will be catching the late games again this weekend though.
My Sky Go is now not only slow, but the sound and pictures are now three seconds out all the time :-(
Some good games this weekend.
It's the Wembley game next Sunday - might have to shout that one from the roof-tops.
I won't be commenting that one as I'll be there :-)
So long as you drop by ~once I think that could be forgiven. #jealous
mobile?
Battery life.
ahh, boo.
what time is that on and any terrestrial coverage?
1800 - Sky Sports
ahh, means it'll be blocked on game pass too :(
what might cause my sound to be ahead of my video?
I dunno whether the BBC/C4 have tried to grab it as well, doubt it somehow
highlights
nothing usually. unless they're sending it out like that? used to be an issue with flash, but less so with ipad.
could be a sky thing though - http://www.sky.com/helpcentre/tv/sky-go/troubleshooting/computer/picture-sound-out-of-sync/
Yes, fine on my iPad, just on my desktop. Will update my nVidia driver.
This will be a good game, but I can't wait for Pats-Jets.
We're seeing a lot more strong punting formations recently - either to set up the fake, or prevent the block.
safety!
Great punt in the first place to force all that.
Shame his double move fooled his QB
Texans have turned this game right round! Ravens started so well, all undone now.
Big play!! Pick6
Big swing - Texans have turned it on.
i will join you lot later. I am just headding out to pick up some pizza. Can't imagine what put that idea in my mind
:) Sounds like you were the one who won the Hangout after all!
Nice lead by the Texans, chance for Flacco to prove he's (almost) elite
Joe's on the phone - let's hope he's not ordering any more takeaways.
I'll likely not be aronud until the Pats game now.
Looks like the Texans are destroying the Ravens though.
Ravens aren't helping themselves much tbf.
I'm sneaking a look at the screen - horrible call in the endzone for hitting a receiver!
:) :)
Ravens' chances slipping away
Ravens try for a 4th-down conv. - catch is missed, but def PI gifts them a 1st.
Pats-Jets KO is 2125 (in other words very soon)
NE wearing their throwback red unis, with the old-school Pat the Patriot on the helmet.
Seems like every season one team is wearing uniforms from the past
I think its almost a rule that they have to
Time out in the second minute of the game. That's original
So that's 1 yard for the NE offence so far
(on that series)
(I mean on that 3-&-out)
Good pizza?
It was OK
Garlic bread
Chicken Supreme Pizza
Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate sauce
Now that is a decent meal!
That looked like a really stupid penalty to give away
Definite holding - tut tut tut
Wo-wo Te-ebow.
Pats need to ditch those old style uniforms before they go back to old style losing
They've not done much so far - they'd better start
That's how you answer a TD
Wow
:-)
The Jets did so well to get 7 up, and then that happens...
Illegal kicking of the ball in the endzone should result in a defensive touchdown. Discuss.
Was he trying to push it out of bounds? To avoid a safety :S
He kicked it out of the back of the endzone to prevent Vince Wilfork from getting a touchdown
Ohh yeah - that was a possibility. And I suppose he didn't want to be landed on.
Challenge
Looked like no fumble from my end
Agreed, but camera angle may prove unfavourable for reversing the call
It's tight on forearm vs hand - but they've got it.
Wow, Spikes slammed Greene there.
Looked like Greene stepped into the hit and almost made it worse
Sanchez needs his eyes testing - unable to see a couple of key open receivers
...!! Wow - Pats fumble the ko!!
Both these teams have been woeful today.
Well, apart from the Jets' defense.
Even without Revis
This is too much for me. I'm used to mediocrity supporting Watford, but it's a good ten years since the Patriots were so much like this...
#throwback
Pats' football
Think there's a Pats fan in the backfield
Looks like he's trying to disguise himself as a zebra.
Ball's out - fumble - surely.
well that's not a comment you read everyday.
Finally. I hate the new overtime rules.
I think they are fair - both offences and defences get their chances.
But they don't.
Suppose - I should say that they are fairer, but you're right in the case of a TD.
Raiders won too. So all staff will be happy in the office tomorrow.
Apart from the Bengals fan, but he's used to it now.
Right - I think that's me, not sure my body will allow me another game. Enjoy.
g'night chappie.
I'm just staying up to catch the Patriots' press conference, then probably to bed after that. What's the late game tonight?
c4 have bengals v steelers.
Hmm, well not sure if I'll still be up for that or not.
no worries. i'll probably have it on, but am coding like crazy atm.
Seems to be the general state of your life these days!
it's an exciting time to be working on web sites (relatively speaking)
I'm just sticking to mine own these days. Have enough trouble trying to make mine decent. I was asked to put a bid in for a website a couple of weeks ago, but I declined. I need a life outside of work and more work!
that is always a problem :)
