As a Brit- and yes a Bears fan! I thought that I would give all of you that WON'T be at Wembley on Sunday a try at home field advantage. The stadium will be FULL- with about 85,000 there. BUT ONLY about 5,000 of those will be SF fans, and about 5,000 will be Bronco fans, the other 75,000 (myself included) will be Neutral- yes we may well pick a team for the day- but we will SHOUT for anybody ! It will be a "Home" game for BOTH teams- if asked for noise - trust us we will make it ! Secondly- on JET LAG ! Flying (here) from the US I agree with the above comments- so much so that when we fly back next May we land here on Sunday morning at 10:00- and then I will be at work bright eyed the next day- trust me (as a Bear)- would I lie !

It is critical to get a good night sleep on the plane, at the very most eat the meal that they will serve you right after the departure and immediately go to sleep, bypass all the movies and all that stuff. Sleep all the way until they tell you to raise your seat up for landing, that way you will have gotten at least 6 hour sleep in an 8 hour flight (if you need more sleep, skip the meal, eat before you board). Then as you get there spend the day as a regular day and no matter how tired you are do not sleep until that night, you will then immediately be on the local time schedule, not missing a beat by the next day, no jet lag to speak of, GUARANTEED. If on the other end, you get on the plane enjoy the movies, play cards with your buddies or study the game plan without getting your sleep, when you get to London you will very quickly need some sleep and do that during the day, you will then have problem sleeping that night and will be in the jet lag zone for multiple days, GUARANTEED. You can take all the above to the bank. As usual, this valuable advice I have learned over a lifetime is free of charge, just out of my benevolent Bronco fan heart. Sorry guys for the re-post but this is too important not to:

Thanks for posting that! I have full confidence this team will put the Raider game behind them and make some major adjustments to get this last win before our bye week. If I can manage to put that disaster of a game behind me and not dwell on it and think just because of that game our future is completely doomed... well then so can this team. I'm not talking about denial... I'm talking about getting over this game. It's in the past, it's done, it's over with... move on! Have faith Bronco Country... GO BRONCOS in 2010!!!! haha, nice picture of Elway. Thanks for posting that!

Not just the Broncos, but any NFL game. The games should be played here in our stadiums. I don`t like it.

The Saints beat the Chargers 37-35, and the Pats racked up 30 odd points last year...I'm sure Denver will follow on and put 30+ points on the board. Can't wait to see my guys at Wembley!

It also seems like there are a bunch of injuries from that game. I am grateful that we have the bye week after this to help with our mounting injuries! I also hope the Broncos either go on a tear and win there next 9 games or that they fall flat on there backs and get some good draft picks this year - in otherwords for me it's make it or break it here and NOW! I think McDaniels is a good coach, but in today's NFL you need player that can overcome injuries and players that aren't injury prone. I like McDaniels overall sceme, but the player need to buck up and be men and play like there jobs depend on it, because they really do! The NFL is as even and equal as I can recall it ever being right now - plenty of good players and good coaches, but it comes down to "who wants it more"!!! The last few years we've started good and finished really bad, but perhaps this is the year we start bad and finish STRONG!!! That is my hope!!!
