Been a life long Packer fan. Went to see them play the Jags on opening day for the first time. Brilliant!
Did you see Reggie Yates Touchdown USA? If not, catch it on iPlayerhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07w0tds/regg...
Shows how patriotic Green Bay fans are, phenomenally so!
It was cool to see how the team is such a part of the town, but did they really have to send Reggie Yates? He's an engaging presenter but knows nothing about NFL. It was a bit embarrassing to watch him around the game and talking to some of the people about football.
If you're a Packers fan - look for Tom Wrigglesworth's videos about him looking like Aaron Rodgers and his trip to Green Bay - those are brilliant

Good to see Brady back. A bit rusty so just the 400 yards and 3 TD's. 
I expect Matt and the other Bengals fans are looking forward to next week.
In fairness, it only became humiliating in the 4th quarter.I expect Matt and the other Bengals fans are looking forward to next week.
I thought that Gronk's taunting of our psychopath was rather unsportsmanlike.

I still can't believe that Gronk and BlountForceTrauma both got flagged and Burfict didn't! Burfict and Pacman are the dirtiest pair in the NFL!

I'm not even sure the Bengals can beat Cleveland today - at home FFS. Absolutely zero momentum this season, unlike last.
Thought the same, glad the Browns are so green around the gills, making us look good.Hill averaging 18 yards a carry...

Great atmosphere at twickenham yesterday. as a neutral, was a great game to watch. Was my first time at Twickenham and will be my last, what a crappy run stadium. Couple of incidents that could have been handled better which soured the experience for me and son. Will be attending wembley, it just has a better vibe, to me anyway.

Thats a shame as I thought Twickenham was good yesterday. Its a little more compact then Wembley so everything does feel more congested. I must admit it was a shame that the Tailgate part was packed upto 2 hours before kick off but we made the most of getting to our seats early. PS. Raider Nation marches on

The management of the tailgate etc. was a total clusterfPS. Raider Nation marches on
k. We queued for probably 40 minutes to get through the baggage check area near gate A getting through 10 minutes before they shut the tailgate (they shut it an hour early as the literature that came with our tickets, stated that it would be shutting at 13:30, or an hour before the game, which given the precedent set by the games at Wembley is what they have done in recent years. To be told you aren't coming in here mate, this is an exit only, which was not what we were told previously. None of the literature stated a specific entrance, there were no (visible) signs outside of the baggage check area either. We managed to get hold of the person running the security and made our feelings known. They will also be receiving (from what I have heard from other fans) several formal complaints. A local walked by us whilst we were stood talking to the security/event management and basically stated that he lived locally and have been to numerous events at the stadium and this is the worst run event he has ever been to.
Its a shame really as the stadium its self is actually a pretty good venue imho (once you were inside), if a little more tightly packed seating wise than Wembley.
I'm going to be voicing my disappointment to the Twickenham stadium authority and NFL UK as it is not what I have come to expect from the International series games, which at Wembley at least, have always been well managed, nobody gets irate and even the slow shuffle to Wembley Park tube station post match is good natured.
