Anyone around Stoke tomorrow, feel free to come down to watch the Staffordshire Stallions vs MMU Eagles.

Kickoff is 1pm at the Leek Road Campus of Staffordshire University.

Trust me they were definitely, hence the Giants gameplan about keeping them off the field. The Giants knew they couldn't compete with them other than to control the ball which resulted in Anderson getting something like 120yds rushing IIRC (just checked and it was 102yds, so not too bad a memory there lol). Can't find what the odds were but the Bills were defo favourites for sure.

We also let them run the ball easily. The gameplan was too make sure Thurman Thomas got 100 yard plus rushing. Means they weren't scoring too quickly.

The master of that defence. Mr Bill Belichick.

That was a good coaching set up: Bill Parcells head coach Tom Coughlin wide receivers coach, Bill Belichick defensive co-ordinator

Same pattern as this year and probably next year too i.e. beat the 49ers and you'll inevitably win the lot

First appearance since we ripped you apart. Thought there was a reason you surfaced at 8-0. JCL.

Haha - I'm glad my absence was noted. Yes, I've been in a sulk since my Packers failed to show up at Lambeau, and the sulk got even worse when Federer lost on Thursday.

At least Everton and Warrington won this weekend.

Beat MMU 14-8 after overtime. Our D was dominant throughout the day, only 1 mistake which gave them a TD, but photographic evidence did show their 2 Point conversion shouldn't have stood. Got a safety and a TD (No XP) to lead, before letting them back in.

QB sneak on 4th down in overtime won it for us though. Great feeling!

Classic BB

I love all the stats in the NFL, but the only stat that matters ATEOTD is the team that scores the most points. Some people seem to forget that somehow! Baltimore whooped our ass last week, just a shame they scored less points

I'd rather win ugly than lose 'pretty'

Our D was ranked 27th. Nobody mentions that though.
