Two tickets for Eagles @ Jaguars this weekend at wembley and might not be able to make it....

Where are they sat? & how much would you be after for them?

I might know someone interested as I could only renew my four season tickets and couldn't get enough for everyone that wanted to come

Edit: That said, no idea on the logistics of if getting the tickets would even be doable...

the play just surpised me as their usually a bit more "subtle", ie the ball is usually close to the players, this was just an open field tackle, guess the defender figured that he was getting left behind and wouldn't be in touching distance by the time the ball actually got there ?

for me something like the play shown could get the ball put at the 1yd line, still not guareteed a score but a decent chance.

Of course the issue as always being with interpretation of being a blatent foul like the one highlighted and 99% of the other pass interference calls.

I didn't see it. Is there a link anywhere for it?

Don't forget, even the best of the best just get it very wrong sometimes. Timing of tackling a receiver/batting a ball can easily go very wrong and you end up looking either crap or a dirty player.

yeah realise sometimes people get it wrong, but this seems even more than that for me, will be interested to see what you think.

Yeah, quite hard to defend that one. Mind you, the guys in the studio take the red card as the team would play with 10 men, I see it as an ejection, like other ejections. That guy goes, but they still field 11 men.

I guess it could be like other unsporting penalties? It takes two to get booted.

Raiders giving up.

Can't escape a sneaking suspicion Carr could end up gone to Giants or Jags before the deadline.

And that Cooper trade, Dallas front office were hitting the crack pipe agreeing that.

i'd be surprised if Carr went, but after mack and cooper anything is possible, think gruden could leave the raiders in an utter mess.

had a look at the wr's at dallas and cooper could be useful based on what they have, mind you they took austin off the rams for heavens sake, so i'm not discounting crack pipe usage

I think Carr leaving is massively unlikely (summer if anything) but with them going full rebuild a tempting enough offer from a team who really need a solid QB could prove interesting.

Well, they gave him 10 years and a lot of authority I believe... so he's just cleaning house so he can bring in guys he likes. I guess there's no pressure to win right now, as long as he gets there.

oh yeah, with the way its setup they've shown faith in him.

hes racking up picks for the draft, but you have to get lucky with those picks and its going to take time, while winning might not be top of their list, i would expect them to at least want decent performances.

The other worry for stacking them picks is that the raiders don't particularly draft that well historically so they could end up in even more of a mess.

Anyone seen Hopkins catch (that was then ruled out

) from last night? Amazing!

yup, nice as draft picks are, only once in a while you'll get any decent depth to make proper use of them.

shame about the hopkins' catch

, i couldn't help but laugh at the miami catch off the tackle/helmet that went about 15 yds, used all their luck up in 1 play

Did send you a quick trust with my predicament !

AndyCr15 · 26 Oct 2018 at 18:38

Tbf, I thought Al Davis was the bad influence for the Raiders draft...

mp260767 · 28 Oct 2018 at 10:22

seen a mention on the bbc website that 4 Jacksonville Jaguars players were arrested on Saturday after allegedly trying to leave a London nightclub without paying a large bar bill, but they have been released.

Not what you need just before a game.

i just think the draft is such a lottery, trying to replace mack & cooper that way is risky to say the least.

AndyCr15 · 28 Oct 2018 at 10:42

It kinda depends on what position though. QB is a massive lottery. Most other positions that rely more on pure physical ability are safer bets.

Psycho Ned · 28 Oct 2018 at 10:44

They ran up a £50K bar bill apparently!!

What you want to be hearing before a game, your players getting arrested and the fact they're drinking £50K worth of booze before the match!

AndyCr15 · 28 Oct 2018 at 10:45

In Central London, that's only a few rounds though...

Some of the cocktails alone will be pushing that

That TD it almost felt although the back was running in slow Mo but still no one got near.

No1newts · 28 Oct 2018 at 16:21

If I was the Jags I would balls to the wall to tempt Carr out of Oakland. They are stagnant under Bortles, he is just a mess.

No1newts · 28 Oct 2018 at 21:22

Bengals

Fitzmagic back in the house but we somehow got it done.

The Rams are stinking it up tonight, painful to watch.
