Atlanta may well have the greatest stadium in the world.

Maelstrop · 03/02/2019 23:27

Tom Brady and his smug face! The Saints were robbed (our team). The DH has gone into London to watch it with friends. He’s taken tomorrow off, obviously. He refused to wear his Rams top!

I heard something about New Orleans but it went over my head

A ref made a very controversial decision which cost the New Orleans Saints the game against the Rams, 3 points, a bit close. New Orleans coach immediately reacted, as did everyone else, to say it was a very unfair decision. It was quite clearly wrong.

I was admiring the stadium BelfastBloke

I don't follow the NFL season (might start!) so I don't have anything to compare it to but I thought Atlanta looked a but fancy!

Thanks Maelstrop

I remember reading about that contentious call last week but didn't realise it was NO/Rams involved oops. Should pay more attention!

I had the chance to go to a soccer game in that Atlanta stadium but it fell through. If i had made it last summer, I'd've been seeing the MLS champions.

Yes. Good to see Gladys still rocking.

Who do I cheer for? Pats I think

Sick as a chip.
3 ways to connect.
I'm in France - none of them give me access to meaningful commentary.
Ze blabla baratin is really taking the edge off...

So confused by the Ridley Scott advert for Turkey. Confused

crow2018 · 03/02/2019 23:53

DH is watching it, I'm just waiting to see maroon 5 😂

Firestars · 03/02/2019 23:56

Maroon 5 are a bit poo for the super bowl. He'd better take a knee is all I can say.

Firestars · 03/02/2019 23:57

Super bowl adverts have to be the best thing on tv all year!

Gareth Southgate is commentating?! Grin😂

Firestars · 04/02/2019 00:29

The game of thrones bud lite advert won't be beaten!!

AGnu · 04/02/2019 00:39

I've never watched it before. I flicked over at the start of the second quarter, established that it was 15 minutes & thought I could stay up another 15 mins to see what it was like... Is it always this bitty? They only seem to play for 30 seconds at a time then they cut to the commentators for a couple of minutes. What are the players doing while they're having a chat? Confused

FromEden · 04/02/2019 00:47

A game lasts 3+ hours even though there is only 1 hour of actual play. The clock stops after every play plus there are timeouts and television time outs for ads.

BelfastBloke · 04/02/2019 00:47

It's always this bitty. Both teams are discussing how to attack/defend each play.

AGnu · 04/02/2019 00:49

I see... I might stick to rugby - not sure I have the patience for this! Grin

Thanks for explaining, enjoy the game everyone!

FromEden · 04/02/2019 00:50

The players will be talking with their coaches about the game, going over plays etc

PremierNaps · 04/02/2019 00:55

I've found my people! I was looking for a superbowl thread. Go Pats!
