    Great touchdown Aitken. Steve Smith speaks highly of him. I used to think Brown was the big talent but he's got butter fingers, drops everything.

    Kinda disrespectful to the work our defence put in there down the stretch.

    Huge win. Tucker is the best kicker in the league as Flacco said. We have to go on and beat Cleveland and San Fran now.

    Had the Steelers to win between 1-6 at 15/4
    Had the Steelers to win +3 and under 44 yards. Got a push on the +3 so won a little bit.

    So Scobie you *, you owe me money, but * *, imagine missing those two kicks, then (rightly) not giving him the third chance to kick it.

    The Ravens were gifted a victory last night.

    It's not disrespectful, the playcalling and kicking cost the Steelers the game, the 2 missed kicks were nothing to do with the defense, the only bit that was kinda dthe D was the 4th down fail to Brown, but that was mostly an awful throw by Vick.

    Seen nothing in the game to convince me Ravens will be a threat and Steelers without Ben were poor aswell. With him they're a good team, but they will prob be at 5 losses by his next game

    Just ignoring the work Will Hill and Will Davis put in? They won us the game, the steelers didn't lose. Field goals are not automatic, players miss them. Ours doesn't.

    We are not a "threat" to you, we know this. We won't face you this season.

    This season now is for us to grow as a young team. Get Perriman and Suggs back, a good draft next year, good work in free agency as usual and we are right back in the mix next year.

    Yeah, hate the over time rules though, Cowboys should get a shot.

    Seems like the week of the kickers, cost Pittsburgh the game (no matter how much people say otherwise) cost Jags the game and nearly cost the Saints this game.

    Past 2 weeks I've put on 3 NFL Coupons, 1 last week * by the Lions and there two stupid turnovers in two drives, one this week * by the Eagles losing to the Redskins and nanother this week caused by the Jags missing 2 easy FG's/the Raiders blowing it against the Bears.

    I had Saints to win by 7 points or over, so im gutted they threw that away!!!

    Id only have made a small profit mind you, but i was sneaky hoping for more than 12 which would have given me a good payout!

    Still made a small profit on the day after the Rams win.

    Cowboys having a sore time of it with injuries. Dez and Romo in previous weeks. Sean Lee with concussion and Lance Dunbar with an ACL tear last night.

    Dunbar might not be such a blow but Lee is key to the Cowboys D. Although they can add Hardy and Rolando McClain for next Sunday.

    Watched a bit of the Dolphins and Jets game. Wasn't impressed with the BBC Coverage.

    Had £100 on saints at -3. Was a crazy end to the game. If that field goal goes in I get a push, which I would probably of took after Cowboys scored the late TD.

    Different class though from Brees to win the game with the quick snap. We finally got a win!!!

    Joe Philbin is no more. Sad news for Jets, Pats and Bills fans.

    My biggest gripe with the BBC coverage is when they start interviewing English rugby players or English cricketers and asking them what they think about the game. Frankly, I couldn't give a * what any English cricketer thinks about anything. Not interested. The BBC has a habit of forgetting that it doesn't only broadcast to England.

    If they spent less time on that sort of guff and more time asking people who actually know what they're talking about to analyse the game then the coverage would be considerably better.

    On the plus side it was nice to be able to watch four NFL games back to back yesterday. Fifteen hours of uninterrupted NFL coverage. Fantastic.
