    I heard on a yt that 11 out of the last 12 winners wore white (or at least away) kits.

    Is that right?

    Ugh, that's poor from Blount. Slowed right down.

    Great stop. Rattle Ryan on third down. Can't ask for more than that.

    BBC don't seem to have the proper commentary after all.

    Yeah I knew I remembered this from last year. Sky if you have it, they have the decent commentary.

    Does anyone know whether there are any channels which show the American ads in Europe? Hoping for some surprise Alien Covenant, Cloverfield and Star Wars trailers :D

    I love the way Joe Buck can't tell the difference between the Patriots receivers.

    It's the defensive chess game we all expected.

    Falcons pass rush last week and this has a touch of 2007/11 Giants to them, or is it just me? Possibly Seahawks too, I know their D was good that game but can't remember specifics.

    Both D's have come to play.

    Shaq Mason was bulldozed by Upshaw for the first sack.

    The Falcons aren't letting the occasion get to them.

    It's hard juggling the TV broadcasts. Trying to avoid Neil Reynolds and Dara Kennedy but then Rio Ferdinand turns up on BBC.

    Yeah my first thought was that it was Edelman as well when it was Amendola.

    Not really a fan of BBC's coverage, it's a bit flashy and over the top, I'd prefer if it was just Nat and Mike in studio in England.

    He's very knowledgeable but his inability to sound even remotely excited during big games or moments always annoys me with Buck.

    Felt Brady should have seen it coming or atleast adjusted his position at the time
