Anyone here or are you all off watching Bachelor Pad?

Anyone here or are you all off watching Bachelor Pad?

I'm 'ere. :wave:

Evening, football fans!
Morning to all us nocturnal NFL devotees on this eastern side of the pond :madgrin:

Listening to the game live on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Xtra. The BBC commentators aren't in their UK studio ..they're live at Lambeau Field. :elefant:

Loving the atmosphere, it comes across really well on the radio.

Oooh TD Jordy Nelson!

[Northman]

Packers are GOOOOOOOD.

[AgentOrange]

What is bachelor pad?
It's the chick show they put on between "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette". Mrs. AO watches all of 'em.

Gotta say as bad as they are those shows aren't as pathetic as the Saints have looked so far. And I'm rooting for them, too.

[Dirk]

It's nice to see Sproles on a team outside the ACFW!! :elefant:

[Sparkie]

Sprolesy looking good .. OOH Meachem TD!

These quarterbacks are good.

[AgentOrange]

Nice 31 yd TD on third and one!

[Dirk]

OMG I am so glad we have football this year!!

Is this fun or what?

[girler]

Nice 31 yd TD on third and one!

My only complaint on that one is that it's to the guy on my bench, and not to either of the guys I have in... :tsk:

[Dirk]

GB sure looks like the defending SB champs so far.

[AgentOrange]

OMG I am so glad we have football this year!!

Heheh....first "real" game on the new 60" with improved AVR setup. I'm lovin' it!

[girler]

GB sure looks like the defending SB champs so far.

Wow, they look awesome. We have to play them this year, don't we? :shocked:

[AgentOrange]

My only complaint on that one is that it's to the guy on my bench, and not to either of the guys I have in... :tsk:
LOL....sorry about your misfortune.

[AgentOrange]

Wow, they look awesome. We have to play them this year, don't we? :shocked:
Yeah. In their house, too. I might have to go camping or something that weekend.

[girler]

Heheh....first "real" game on the new 60" with improved AVR setup. I'm lovin' it!

Oh sure, we just moved into the 21st century with a 50" flat screen and I was all proud. :lol: Oh well, I'm still happy with it. :D Last TV is older than my 16 year old...

[Sparkie]

My only complaint on that one is that it's to the guy on my bench, and not to either of the guys I have in... :tsk:

If it's any consolation, I kept the same RB on the bench in another league too!

[AgentOrange]

Oh sure, we just moved into the 21st century with a 50" flat screen and I was all proud. :lol: Oh well, I'm still happy with it. :D Last TV is older than my 16 year old...
Know what you mean. We had two 27" CRTs before this. 50" ain't nothin to sneeze at. Picture's great ain't it? :D

[Bronco4ever]

The Pack are looking good! They are my late grandfather's team so I have a soft spot for them.

[AgentOrange]

Wow...1st down on 3rd & 14. Come on Saints!

[girler]

Know what you mean. We had two 27" CRTs before this. 50" ain't nothin to sneeze at. Picture's great ain't it? :D

It's a beautiful thing!!! :couch2:

[girler]

The Pack are looking good! They are my late grandfather's team so I have a soft spot for them.

I picked them to win in the pick'em, but I have NO players in my FF league, so I'm a bit mixed in my cheering. :twitch:

[AgentOrange]

Wah wah. Saints settle for a FG

[Sparkie]

SPROLES!!!!!!! 70yd punt return TD!!!!!

[AgentOrange]

Wow! Sproles! Damn I'm glad he's not with SD

[Northman]

Hahahahahahaaha, suck it Pack. Welcome to Denver's nightmare!!!!!!! lol

[girler]

Well that's good for the Saints, but does nothing for me.

Unless you count the fact that he's not a Charger... :lol:

[Bronco4ever]

Yep. I don't miss seeing Sproles in a SD uni.

[Bronco4ever]

I have the packers defense, so that plays into it some! :)

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Damn. I wish we'd have signed Sproles.

[girler]

Ok Sproles, rub some of that TD magic onto Thomas right next to you. :D

[OrangeHoof]

I've just been so impressed with the half Aaron Rodgers has been having. The coverage hasn't been that bad but everything he's throwing is right on the money. Even the two incompletes on that last drive were perfectly thrown balls.

Well, until that one.

[AgentOrange]

Rodgers has 209 yds already. Holy smoke!

[girler]

Hey Sparks, what time is it there? How did you drag your butt out of bed so early? You are a FAN! :salute:

[Sparkie]

Ok Sproles, rub some of that TD magic onto Thomas right next to you. :D

At least Thomas is PLAYING this year! He spent most of last season on my bench :D

[OrangeHoof]

Do you think the Saints miss Reggie Bush?

[girler]

At least Thomas is PLAYING this year! He spent most of last season on my bench :D

Ha! Mine too!!! It's hard for me tonight because I had Driver last year and I keep yelling "&$#@!!! I don't have him this year!!!"

[Sparkie]

Hey Sparks, what time is it there? How did you drag your butt out of bed so early? You are a FAN! :salute:

Thanks girler! :beer:

It's.. umm. 2.49am? I went to bed early (9pm) and caught some rest before kickoff. I'm a night owl anyway so NFL is a perfect sport to follow :madgrin:

Probly going to log off the computer for the 2nd half and listen to the rest of the game while tucked up in bed. :zzz:

[AgentOrange]

Hey Sparks...you are the man, getting up at 2 AM to listen to the game on radio!

[girler]

Thanks girler! :beer:

So are you calling in sick on Tuesday? Will it help that the MNF game will start later?

[Sparkie]

Ha! Mine too!!! It's hard for me tonight because I had Driver last year and I keep yelling "&$#@!!! I don't have him this year!!!"

LOL. I've got Driver this season. And he's on my bench this week. :D

[Sparkie]

Hey Sparks...you are the man, getting up at 2 AM to listen to the game on radio!
Thanks, AO! :beer: I'm da woman! ;) actually i'm one of hundreds if not thousands of UK-based NFL fans who'll be glad to exchange sleep for some post-lockout football action :)


So are you calling in sick on Tuesday? Will it help that the MNF game will start later?
I'm based at home so no calling in sick! :elefant:

[AgentOrange]

Thanks, AO! :beer: I'm da woman! ;)
Um, well, color me embarassed.:redface:

[girler]

working at home = awesome!!!

I work with a guy who thinks everyone in america should be a soccer fan because the rest of the world is. I told him he is a sheep. :lol: He also says I should spell color, "colour," for the same reason. I said the rest of the world doesn't spell it "colour" because they speak SPANISH!!! He won't give me that point, and he won't become an NFL fan either, but I know I'm right, so it's all good. :laugh:

[Sparkie]

28-17. Did anyone call this kind of score for the first half of the season opener? Great game so far. :salute:

[Northman]

Im not really surprised by the score. Both offenses are high powered and the Saints defense is as bad as i knew it would be.

[Sparkie]

working at home = awesome!!!
It's ok at the moment - registered self as sole trader to work online from home as there was no chance in a recession of anyone giving me a job straight after a long period of ill-health. Just not very lucrative 'cos I'm not the world's most switched-on business person :D

LOL. Tell that guy I prefer following NFL 'cos I'm bored and frustrated with the state of soccer in the UK ..especially the Premiership (the top league) and the stinking attitude of its overpaid players and super-rich owners! (The Premiership doesn't have a draft system and the rich/successful teams hog their resources instead of having them shared throughout the league..)

Well, until that one.

I was thinking the exact same thing but also how this team would kill us. :lol:

[Sparkie]

Right, i'm off to bed :yawn:
Going to be hard to sleep during the 2nd half though - really enjoying this game! Very glad that the season opener has been so productive so far.
Enjoy the rest of the game, everyone! :salute:

[chris_rabz]

Also watching this on the British side of the world, loving the fact we have football back whoever it is. Failed to get Tuesday off unfortunately...but my boss compromised and has agreed to let me start at 11 rather than 8.45am so thank heavens for small mercies... I shall be present for the Raider Revenge.

Good to see I'm not the only one on here from the UK :)

Still think the Saints are well in with a shout of this, they need to be able to stop Rodgers on the next drive though - even more so now it looks as though they are held to 28-20 rather than 28-24...

[Nick]

That run back from cobbs was sick

[Northman]

Well, dont think the new kickoff rule is going to hurt much. lmao

[chris_rabz]

Still think the Saints are well in with a shout of this, they need to be able to stop Rodgers on the next drive though ...

...And, urm, Cobb aswell. Nearly back-to-back TD returns there, if the Saints can score here this could end up being 50-something each!

[AgentOrange]

That run back from cobbs was sick
Yes. It. Was!

And Sproles almost broke on on the resulting kickoff. Amazing.

[chris_rabz]

I'm stunned that Ryan Grant hasn't bagged my fantasy team an opening night TD yet though out of five... plenty of time yet though.

[Nick]

sproles is looking good... Reggie who?

[chris_rabz]

Reminds me of when Devin Hester first started taking them to the house.

[Nick]

I'm stunned that Ryan Grant hasn't bagged my fantasy team an opening night TD yet though out of five... plenty of time yet though.

Henderson and meachem are available in my league, thinking of grabbing one just to have a piece of the pie next week. :tsk:

Drop Ocho, Currently have ocho, harvin, boldin and lloyd.

[Davii]

Why was Woodson not ejected?

[AgentOrange]

Why was Woodson not ejected?
Only thing I can think is that the ref didn't see it even though it was right in front of him. First game of the season for the officials too...

[Davii]

That 4th and inches play call was horrendously stupid. I thought McD went to the Rams...

[AgentOrange]

Well goodnight Irene. Unless there's divine intervention I think this one's in the books. GB's gonna be tough this year.

[Northman]

Saints still have a shot but they have to force a punt on this drive.

[BroncoTTSB]

Loved the 90 yrd drive :) keep racking up points for me Rodgers. See if the saints D can stop them this time!

[girler]

K I'm back. Missed the defining quarter and a half I guess. :tongue: This TV is awesome though. :rockon:

[Northman]

Man, that 3 rush defense ive seen before. I think they took a blueprint out of Denver's playbook. lmao

[girler]

Wow, this is a great ending, whatever it is!

[Northman]

good call

[Northman]

GREAT defense. lol

[MOtorboat]

Great game.

[girler]

Well I'm happy. I have an AWESOME TE on my FF team, and I got my first pick 'em of the year/week correct. Good game all around! :salute:

[Ottokar Prohaska]

As a Saints fan, not happy about their defensive performance or the game result, but they showed grit and hung in with a shot at OT right at the end. Pretty happywith Ingram, though two failed short yardage tries leave me a little cold.
Good luck Broncos. My son may be at the game this weekend.

[Nick]

What a way to kick off the season. That was a great game. :beer:

That sucks to be Colston, but it's good news for my FF team! :salute:
