I stopped watching in the 2nd half at 16-0, what happened from there?

You'd swear somebody scripts some of these NFL games. Incredible stuff. Wilson had a QB rating of zero in the first half.

God damn Seattle. Phenomenal ending for them but ugh

16 points in about a minute and then scored a TD on the first OT drive.

Just not a clue what happened.

Didn't know Pete Carroll is 63 years old. You could easily believe he was 15 years younger than that, except for the fact he was at USC so long!

Green Bay imploded though. Have to feel sorry for Rodgers even though he was far from perfect. The two point conversion hail mary was the crucial moment.

If I end up losing the fantasy final to Buer AND see the Hawks win again...

Gah, had backed the unders on both games tonight, thought all was home and hosed...

Bah I'll keep on track with the NFL Fantasy next year. I've really gotten into NFL recently and tonight was awesome!

thomond2006

It's bizarre that the owner gets presented with the trophy. Mourad might get ideas...

Although spare a thought (or a hearty 'haw haw') for those on the bandwagon...

That's what I say every year. Unfortunately the Bucs are terrible and every year I remember that around the end of September and decide to shelve my interest in the sport until next season...

That was insane.

I've never seen such a dominant team lose. The rugby equivalent would be if Munster came back from 26-3 down against Saracens. It just shouldn't happen.

I only tuned in because RUWT bot emailed me to tell me. Was only planning on watching Pats-Colts

I recommend this to fans of American sports, god I wish there was a rugby equivalent.

Why must UFC always be on at ridiculous O'Clock

If Leinster get smashed next week, if Dublin go out in the opening round of the Championship, if McGregor gets destroyed in his title fight, if Ireland finish bottom of the 6N......

I will always have the 2015 Boards.ie Rugby Forum FF Title.

I just set my alarm for 4:30, fell out of bed, watched it, back to bed.

Good stuff from McGregor. In his previous fights you could say he's been lucky with some of his TKO's, but in this he absolutely dominated Siver. Walked him around the ring just inflicted pain with every strike, those headshots were something else though, he seems to be silly accurate for an MMA fighter, he never winces or closes his eyes going into contact, which makes a counter-strike almost impossible, especially with his reach. Fair play to Siver though, as he really should've gone down in the first round but he kept his feet.

Buer

So what's the plan now? I assume he gets the title fight that has been promised. Will it be in Dublin and, if so, are we talking stadium event?

No, pretty sure the UFC confirmed he'd get the title fight if he beat Siver and it'd be in Vegas. Which is probably fair enough, considering home advantage. Pity as he'd sell out the Aviva easily I reckon.

How would a fight at Croke Park or the Aviva work if it pissed rain?

They usually have a canvas awning over the ring I think

Yeah, they've done it for other stadiums with no cover.

Don't think he was particularly lucky in his other fights, his opponents just couldn't handle him at all so we didn't see much of his all round abilities

Aldo is a massive favourite unfortunately but it will be an incredible occassion either way

Soon anyone with a beard will be on those lists.

Jose Aldo is on a different level entirely. He's fantastic to watch. Should be brilliant.

Well that's what I meant, lucky in the sense he was put up against fighters that are a class below him - but that's not his fault.
