Well, to be fair, the Pats are named for the American Revolutionary War Patriots, which should make them the bad guys in the Brits eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ass kissin'? Are you kidding me? Having to go overseas to play a regular season game is not ass-kissin' - it's ass-somethin' else. Saw another replay of the hit on Welker yesterday. Completely dirty. Now, I know you are all screaming right now - but the play was dead and Welker let down his guard - and this guy just launches into him and lays him out. Welker never played another down and was obviously concussed. However, that is not the most disturbing thing about the hit. More disturbing was Tomlin basically congratulating the hit-man and laughing with him. Now I know Pitt is dirty - you know - old school - but when your hc laughs at a potential injury - not so funny. Anyway, reason #217 why I hate the steelers, the steelers fans, the city of pittsburgh, anything made in pittsburgh, etc. I would rather watch the Jets win the sb while bathing in battery acid than see them even sniff another SB.

Bang Bang play. At least the guy just used his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Seriously? Why would ANYONE want their team to play 5 time zones away and have to go through the nutroll of a short week, and travel. You should be happy it's the Patriots in this game.

shawn306 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 hyhSPd-TK1o This hit is so awesome. Football the way it was meant to be played. It looks like Polomalu deflects the ball so Welker is basically fair game since they won't call PI on a deflected ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ah, and Oct.25th will be Week 7, so the Patriots will have a Bye, whadya know, right smack dab in the middle of the season. Hmmm.

Panzer Division Marduk Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 They were talking about this on Sky last night, the opinion was it was the Bucs and either the Jets or Patriots. I admit, I was hoping it would have been the Jets. Two games in one season? Would have been great. Oh well. Let's face it, by the time the Jets time to play abroad comes, they'll probably have to go to f**king China or South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Pats were the NFL's darlings they would be the ones sitting in 1st place this year not "Brett's Jets." Keep in mind that all NFL teams will play neutral site games as both the home and visiting team over the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyper Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well, to be fair, the Pats are named for the American Revolutionary War Patriots, which should make them the bad guys in the Brits eyes. From what I heard many Brits are Pats fans because of their name, "New ENGLAND". I'm sure their success in recent years doesn't hurt either. It should be like a 9th home game for us. SWEET!!!

Keep in mind that all NFL teams will play neutral site games as both the home and visiting team over the next decade. The NFL can only do so much, when they lose their best player (the best Quarterback in the NFL -- arguabley) it is going to hurt them. Still they are at 7-5. Keep in mind the NFL only has an agreement with a game being played outside the United States for the next two years (other than the Bills going to Canada).

The Bucs were pretty obvious with the Glazers and Kraft has made no secret about trying to expand the Pats and NFL brand overseas. I think people forget that Kraft wanted the Pats to play a preseason game in China before the Olympics but that fell through for reasons I can't remember.

It seems that last season they had wanted the Bucs in England, but it fell through. You'll also see the Browns playing in England at some point, what with Randy Lerner owning Aston Villa.
