Pats v Bucs - London

[flea]

Heading over Friday for the game on Sunday. Expect the Bucs to take a hammering but really looking forward to it. Saw a guy in the stadium with a Fordham sweater last year. Morten Andersen is doing a meet & greet thing the saturday gonna try get to that too

Whats the feeling there for this game?

there feeling there is "why is the football not round" and "Where is the handball call"

Good to see that both teams get a bye the following week and I guess it makes sense that TB gets this as their home game. Game can't get blacked out that way.

I was at the game last year and that was definitely not the case. Never been to an NFL game in the U.S. so can't compare. I'd imagine it doesn't come close to the atmosphere, but it isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

Well you know Robert Kraft and the Patriots sure as hell were not going to lose a home game...they would have flipped around here.

I figured but with as big as soccer is over there I couldnt resist the comment

The further away from Tampa this game is the better. xlolx I'm glad I won't be in town to be burdened with this game on my TV. xlolx

so far the NFL has been well received in London.

Just so you are not feeling bad, I thought your line was funny.

all 3 games so far have been well received as far as I know, really need to ask someone from England though ;)

How is the grass going to be this year? You guys need to get some field turf over there.

I remember the Giants game a few years back and the grass was just pulling up everywhere.

The rain all the week before the Giants game didn't help I think
