Murica. Great pics. How cold is it? I was in Minnesota a couple of years ago in November and it's probably the coldest I've ever been.
Nice! I’ll be over for the Chicago game all being well
I went to a Bears game on that trip, luckily the Mrs shelled out for club seats that had heaters above the seats. Wrap up warm if you are anywhere else at Soldier or just get enough booze in you.
Thanks! The game will be indoors (in Minneapolis). I’m a Vikings fan 😊
Visiting my son at college in US this weekend and we have driven up from Iowa to Minneapolis to watch the Vikings v Saints game tomorrow. Looking forward to it, stadium looks amazing.
I hope you drove to Minneapolis for the Saints v Vikings game.
As an aside, does anybody know why US sports, or is it only football, give it as the away side first?

presumably from baseball where the away team always bats first so that's the order they are listed on the scoreboard
they've decided to go with the HvA format for MLS though
Cowboys now have a softer schedule while the Eagles schedule heats up. Hopefully a chance to get within one game of them by the time they visit Dallas in mid December.

They say "Patriots at the New York Jets" and stuff like that, so I presumed that's why they write it that way
“Versus” doesn’t seem to be a word in most American’s vocab, from my experience. It’s always said as above: “Team X at Team Y”.
Hence why I try to use @ instead of v. or vs. when writing about US sports.
The only time you’ll maybe hear versus is when discussing a specific team’s upcoming games, for example “Cowboys next three match ups are at Panthers, vs Commanders and vs Seahawks”.
In this context, the “versus” would signify specifically that that is a home game.
I googled it - seems as though it might originate from baseball. A sport in which the away side ALWAYS bats first. That’s a fairly logical explanation so happy to take someone on the internet’s word for it.
Mark Andrews looking likely to miss rest of season - will be a big miss for you
Yeh Harbaugh has confirmed. Not sure Likely is up to it as a replacement. Kolar looked OK in flashes last night. In reality, it’s more Flowers, Bateman and OBJ (how good was he last night?!)
Shame Burrow went out early but I think Ravens had them anyway. Lamar cooked that secondary.
Edit: Lamar is 8-1 as a starter against the Bengals.
Personally I think teams should only play on a Thursday if they have a bye week before. I realise that wouldn’t work but 2 games in 4 days is just crazy

See ya next year!!!
The radio coverage sounds desperate for them (their defence has kept them in the game, but that can't win them the game).
I was a bit concerned about Thursday’s game but now I’m not sure I should be..!
