So which NFL matches did you attend?

[Levante]

Can't sleep......so I got this neat question to measure all of you NFL warriors.

Which NFL games did you attend this year and why?

I'll start.

Colts vs. Dolphins at Miami.
Sun, beach, hot ass girls, the Gold Rush gentleman's club, and a Colts win. A perfect weekend. For the most part, Dolphin fans are nice fans, must be the weather......oh yeah, except for the Jackass in the bathroom who told me Brian Griese was "tons better" than Peyton Manning.

Also, the fat, toothless, woman that told my brother that she (insert southern drawl) "would rather eat *#*#*#*# than be an Indianapolis Colts fan". What was my brother to do? Other than to tell her to "start eating *#*#*#*# then!"


Bears vs. Vikings at Chicago.
What can I say.....I live among impatient Chicago fans. I haven't lived in Indiana for about 4 years now. It was great to see Peanut Tillman swipe the ball away from Randy Moss to win the game.


Colts vs. Broncos at Indianapolis.
Not much to say about this game...............other than......We got you back...Mother*#*#*#*#*#*#ers.

In Real NFL towns you can't get tickets unless you pay big bucks to a scalper or have a realtive with tickets.

I guess there isn't a 20 year waiting list for tickets everywhere like in DC or NY.

I went to MIN-Chicago season opener. We were lucky to stumble on the tickets, they were tickets supposed to go to the traveling Bears fans that presumably went unsold and were released days before the game.

That was the second ever NFL game I went to, the other being at last season's Chargers finale vs Seattle where they blew a 21 point lead to lose in overtime. Hasselback had like 450 passing yards.

Let me try this one.....

San Diego at KC
Pittsburgh at KC
Denver at KC
Buffalo at KC
Cleveland at KC
Oakland at KC
Chicago at KC

I missed the Detroit at KC game because I had the flu real bad. Overall I think I've missed between 5-10 games at Arrowhead since 1990.

And PSU's right, its hard to get tickets in most towns. But my family has had season tickets for the Chiefs since the late '70s and I took one over once I graduated school.

Or unless the team is sucking wind. Six free tickets to the Giants-Redskins game fell into my lap. I was only able yo use 4, couldn't even give the other 2 away. Saw Bruce Smith set the career sack record. Still trying to decide if it was worth the cost of admission ($10 parking). Pathetic game.

True.

I had a chance to go to Cowboys-Redskins @ FedEX.

I hate both teams. So I didn't go.

Plus it was a December game @ 4pm.

Tampa at Eagles -- What can I say? The pre-game opening of the Linc was fabulous, and Stallone on the perch to start the game was cheesy in retrospect but at the time was thrilling. Then the game started. From the moment that LJ Smith dropped the 4th down fake FG pass in the end zone in the first quarter, everyone had a bad feeling. Not as bad as about five years ago when I went to Seattle at Philly opening day at the Vet and they lost 31-0, but still a complete disappointment.

Giants at Eagles -- Complete opposite of the Tampa game as everyone at the Linc was expecting a blowout and got it. Giants had fourth and goal from the one near the end of the first half and got nothing; from that point on it was a pleasurable rout. It's always great to beat the Giants, but especially when they're down since you know that they're looking for any redemption for the season that they can get.

Packers at Eagles tomorrow. For the record, if I had money on this game it would be on Green Bay. Just don't feel good about this.

Philadelphia @ Carolina, Sunday after Thanksgiving

The family I stay with for Thanksgiving are season ticket holders and they traded with another season ticket holder to get 4 seats together pretty close to the field.

This was a HUGE game for the Panthers as they were still in the hunt for the 1st round bye. Also, my first game at Ericsson. Great stadium, good atmospher, except way too many Eagles fans in the good seats. Note to Panthers season ticket holders - if you're going to sell your tickets, sell them to other Panthers fans.

Heartbreaking loss, as John Kasay missed 3 FGs and a PAT and the Panthers lost by 6 (?). Still, it showed Carolina could hang with the best of the NFC.

Tennessee at Green Bay (Pre-Season)
Detroit at Green Bay
Seattle at Green Bay (regular season)

One of my best friends from high school has season tickets. When his dad has to work, I'm first to get a call. Otherwise, unless you buy from a scalper, tickets are hard to come by.

I'm the opposite. I hate how people are saying Green Bay is a team of destiny, and how the media is falling all over themselves to praise the Pack. My gut is telling me that all that positive energy is actually jinxing them. But, I grew up in Boston a Red Sox fan, so maybe my damaged psyche and past experiences cause me to fear the worst.

I only went to one game this year. The NFL season opener NY Jets at Washington Redskins.

Saw the Bears beat the Raiders at Soldier Field. It was a belated birthday present for my kid.

Besides being big soccer fan of many teams and players, he is a huge Raiders fan and, of course, was sorely disappointed at the result.

I got tickets by getting on line as soons as single game tickets went on sale, and got two tickets in the nosebleed section. I should have bought 6 and scalpled.

Anyway, the game ended on a game winning field goal by Paul Edinger with time expiring. My kid is already intrigued about becoming a kicker -- he's been playing soccer now for 9 years and takes outstanding corners and free kicks and now, at 15, can switch the field accurately, delivering pinpoint balls at 40 yards.

As were taking the long walk down the aile as Edinger was lining up -- I knew he was going to make it -- I told my kid: "Being an NFL kicker is not about leg strenght, technique or accuracy -- it's about having ice water in your veins and winning or tying games when you ABSOLUTELY have to. It's mental."

We stopped right at the exit...watched Boom...through... game over...and we beat the crowd!!

Jets, Dolphins at the Ralph.


Both were cold as *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#, but the Jets game was much better for obvious reasons.


My friend got booted from the Miami game for blasting a Dolphins fan in the face with a snow ball. Had it coming. :)

Week 6: 49ers at the Seahawks


I live 40 - 45 minutes away from Seattle, and the 49ers happened to be in town for the Sunday Night Game
