Yep if the games get done tonight Super Bowl could be done by the end of the week.
So we could have the draft on Monday or so and get the new season started.

Anyone have a link to next years fixtures?

I set up a doodle poll for the weekdays next week. Maybe you should sticky it.

You'll have to get to this superbowl if you have any hopes of erasing our match. Delighted I won't play Berty and Santry this year. Who do I play now. AFC north and NFC South?

bok bok bok bok

sorry that's meant to be a chicken sound

SantryRed

I could do right now Shane if it suits.

helimachoptor

You'd probably be better of waiting Ben, i mean if it cuts out and your winning and you end up losing you will not be a happy camper and same with Shane, it's only a 1 day wait so its not like you're holding everything up

SantryRed

Yeah but you're a asshole for goading me into it anyways in college at 12 so will have to be tomorrow Shane! Thanks

SantryRed

We're gonna try to play this tonight. So if everyone could not use their internet from 10-11:30 to give my Eircom internet the best possible chance that'd be great :pac:

daflood

If at all possible, I would prefer to play before, so I can go for pints after tag.

But the stupid league won't tell us whether it is at 8.15 or 9, so I can't even arrange a time.

Are you defo unavailable tomorrow night?

I am out tomorrow night so definitely unavailable.

I can do Thursday night at 7 but that will only suit if your game is at 9.

Can do Friday at 7 also.

daflood

I think Thursday at 7 should work. I live pretty close to where the tag rugby game is. Savage!!

Oh its on!!!! I am big underdog, so I may as well come out swinging!!

Last time I was uber sensible, this time, I may as well go for it!!

Plus I am away for the whole weekend and don't want to hold up the draft, I am really looking forward to next season. I feel kinda like the Cincinnati this year: Dalton and green did well and can only get better, Chandler Jones and Cody Hoppes should be a mojor force next year!!

There is a guy in the real draft this weekend called Chandler Jones who is a defensive end.....:pac:

They must take real names and mess with positions and stats etc....

Denver Broncos @ New York Jets

It comes as no surprise to see the New York Jets back in the AFC Conference game for their third visit in 4 Boards seasons. However, it comes as a big surprise to see a rookie head coach in it. However, the Broncos are here on merit coming off a 13-3 regular season, with their losses coming against the previous Superbowl winners in the Packers and the Jets and also a loss to the San Diego Chargers. Lets take a look at the two teams' offense and defense to see who are the key players and who has the advantage in this one.

Offense

The New York Jets have looked to the air this year around on their quest to another 16-0 season. When you have one of the best QBs in the game in Aaron Rodgers, you just have to air it out, as you can trust him to put the ball in tight spots. The Jets head coach has been very impressive in control of Rodgers this season with a completion rate of 69% for 34 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions, leading to an amazing quarterback rating of 115! The Jets have three main go to guys who they spread receptions about very well. It can be very difficult to tell where Rodgers will throw the ball as Darius Heyward-Bey(54 recs 860 yards), Plaxico Burress (44 recs 722 yards) and Dustin Keller (39 recs 719 yards) show they are all very capable of helping Rodgers in moving the ball. Whilst trying to stop the Jets passing game, you cannot forget about their 1-2 punch running back combination in Frank Gore and CJ Spiller as they have combined this season for 1400 yards and 19 touchdowns.

The Broncos have been equally as impressive on offense this season, ranking 4th in total offensive yards. Just like the Jets, the Broncos prefer to air it out but have accounted for over 2000 yards rushing also! Offensive Rookie of the Year QB Chandler Jones has been absolutely phenomenal this season, throwing for 3200 yards for 28 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions. The Broncos have a New England philosophy on offense, as they value their Tight Ends greatly, as is shown by their top two players leading receptions on their team being Cody Hoppes (68 recs 1385 yards) and Tony Moeaki (51 recs 710 yards). However, the Broncos also have a devastating offensive Wide Receiver weapon in Calvin Johnson, who has been underused this season, accounting for only 42 receptions for 874 yards. The Broncos also have a 1-2 punch at HB, with LeSean McCoy and Roy Helu splitting carries on a 2:1 basis. Between them they have accounting for 1800 yards and 17 touchdowns.


On defense, there is a complete contrast. The Jets have been absolutely phenomenal in shutting teams down this season, as they have given up just 2800 yards in total offense, which is an average of just 175 yards a game!! The Jets gave up less than 1000 yards rushing this season which is a great stat and it shows that the Broncos will need to air it out to win this game. However, the Jets do have ballhawks on their defense as they have 33 INTs in the regular season, which averages two interceptions a game. However, the Broncos defense is a lot more middle of the field, as they have given up 4000 yards this season. They've given up more than double the amount of rushing yards as the Jets(2400) but have actually given up less passing yards (1600).

Verdict

For the Broncos to win this game, they can't committ any turnovers. In the meeting earlier this season, the Jets defense choked the Broncos and the Jets won 31-21, even though the Broncos committed no turnovers. The Broncos will need to not turnover the ball again, but they will need to score more on offense, as 21 points will not be enough against Aaron Rodgers and his high flying Jets. I think the Jets will win this, but I don't think they will win it like they have been doing this season(passing). I believe Frank Gore and CJ Spiller will have a big day and run for over a combined 200 yards, as the Broncos don't look like they can stop the run.

Verdict: New York Jets 38-21 Denver Broncos

Broncos 7 @ 38 Jets

Q1 Broncos go 3 and out. Jets move the ball well only for Ridley to fumble at the Denver 13 and Wilson take it back 72 yards. BUT challenge overturned the ruling and Gore punched it home for the TD. Broncos moved the ball well next drive but with a poor kicker had to try a 4th and 2 at the Jets 33 which failed.

Q2 However on the first play of the quarter Wilson jumped the pass for a pick and TE Moeaki made a superb catch for the 3 yard TD to tie the scores. The Broncos stopped the Jets and had momentum only for the whole game to change on one play. A pass to McCoy was ruled to be a lateral, he fumbled and MLB Ray Maluga picked it up and ran it back for the score. The next Broncos drive stalled and the Jets added a FG before the half to lead 17-10

Q3 The Jets made the most of their possessions scoring TD's through the air with an 11 yard pass to Heyward-Bay and on the ground with long 63 yard run from Frank Gore. Broncos who were struggling to get any running game going did nothing with their possessions.

Q4 Ridley added another TD on a 33 yard run to end the scoring.

Daflood had absolutely no luck in this game. The 72 yard return overturned and the pass ruled a lateral and fumbled was huge. Game could have been completely different had those decisions gone Denver's way.

Great chatting, a fantastic first season for you, best of luck in the draft.

Unlucky Daflood, from next season I propose berty has a 2 Td handicap!

Berty do the AFC proud!

daflood

Thanks for that review Berty. I was unfortunate a couple of times when the scores were close at the start, with the fumble return being ruled out, the incomplete pass being ruled a lateral (correctly as it was backwards) and then returned for a TD to make it 14-7 and that 4th and 2 I had to go for. 1: a real kicker can hit 50 yards and 2 I actually caught the pass, but I was holding y so hard the player jumped and went out of bounds.

BUT, i still didn't score a point for the rest of the game!! Until I get myself some run defense and can earn some hard yards on the ground, I wont be able to compete at this level.

I really enjoyed the game and despite the score i was actually happy enough with how I played....

I played both guys in the SB this year and they are both QUALITY! Best of luck to both of you!!

I am looking forward to the draft and progressions of my rookies!! :cool:
