Feels like a Pats-Panthers Super Bowl. At first, I liked Arizona's chances but Palmer looked dodgy v. Green Bay

Palmer gonna get blowed up by Kuechly. Gonna get blowed up real quick.

Hard to imagine Peyton beating the Golden Boy. Peyton's done and closer to embarrassing himself than winning another ring.

Looking on from the semi-interested non-knowledgable outside: his coach was weak and went with Manning when Osweiler had done very well for him.

It's a hard choice, and I can understand going with Manning, despite the fact that armchair wizards like myself can so easily declare it a bad call. Not sure what the "right" choice would be there. It's not like replacing one player in your XI, because the entire offense (and often defense too, if your gameplay changes) revolves around this one player and how he runs your gameplan.

Manning has the big game experience, so I suppose it's not controversial going with him. Mind you, Manning looks so physically fragile out there Osweiler will probably get a chance to play some role this weekend or the SB (if they progress).

Doubt it. Manning doesn't like taking snaps off after the Colts failed in their attempt at a perfect season in 2009.

Only fanevive done at Wembley or in the uk I didn't soak up the atmosphere . I was there just before kick off . This time I'll make the weekend off it I think. Still unsure what game though.

I can get a skins one it's the Giants v Rams one that's sold out mate.

On the NFL U.K. Forum they seem to think that only the crap seats have been released and they will gradually release more over the next few months .

I'll defo get one from somewhere .

Team still reeling from the loss

Hearing about this big storm heading to America, is it possible either of these games over the weekend might get called off anyone know? Both out door stadiums and all that.

Charlotte is only getting an inch of snow.

Nope. Charlotte will be well cleared ahead of the game. Denver is unaffected.
