I'll be watching. Go Eagles.
Win win for my Cowboys. We either prove the doubters wrong, or the coaches go, which would be an equally big success.
Ravens, Colts, Eagles, Seahawks all to win.
Colts, Seahawks, Ravens, Bears.
Texans (but they’re my team and my head says Colts with Andrew Luck pulling the strings unfortunately). Cowboys (at home). Chargers (2nd best team in the AFC in my opinion) and Bears (but if the Eagles who are on a roll do overcome that defence, they’re going to be tough to beat in the play-offs)
Good answer 😂👍
I watch far more NFL than football now. It's brilliant.
I want: Colts (but don't much care); Seahawks; Chargers; Eagles. I predict: Colts; Seahawks; Chargers; Bears.
A lot of this is on Sky Sports Mix as well, which is included with my Virgin TV package even though I don't pay for a Sky Sports package.
Go Bears. I played for a couple of seasons 86~88 and wore 34 on my shirt.
34 years is a long wait!
Can’t see the Texans coming back now, fair play to luck travelled everywhere to try and heal his elbow or shoulder and been brilliant this season
That's what happens when you finally realise a good way to success may be actually keeping you're franchise qb upright.
Hope the bears can find a way to get the job done tomorrow, our D is good enough, just hope trubisky and the offence turn up tomorrow. Our route to Atlanta takes us through the current champions, LA and the superdome. It really doesn't get much tougher than that, just good to see the Bears playing some January football for once!!
The Texans o line has been poor but Watson's throws have been terrible the play calls have also been shocking the colts are blitzing often and bringing lots of pressure got to get that ball out quick and mix it up a bit try and get Hopkins in one on one situations and throw it up for him because he's unbelievable some of the catches he makes are unreal

Omg that was :puke: AF, got to feel for him thats a bad break
Anybody else stay up for any of the Seahawks Cowboys game?
Things I learned:
1) Seattle are seriously dedicated to running the ball, even when it is emphatically not working and even when they've got Russel Wilson.
2) Seattle (and presumably other NFL teams) don't have a contingency plan for an injury to a placekicker.
Not many teams have a back-up kicker. Seattle played as if they didn't have any passing plays in their playbook. All of their successful passing moves looked like they came from Wilson improvising. The amount of third and long running plays and screen passes they attempted was ridiculous.
Re placekicking - I am sure you are right, it's just that it hadn't occured to me before. Seems bizarre really when everything else is so carefully managed. Not sure what I expected really - perhaps that some other player may have some responsibilities as an emergency kicker. I was rather hoping that the Aussie guy would have a crack at a drop-goal, but I imagine they went for 2-point conversions in the second half as they did't rate his chances!
Re: the running game. I think on the highlights of the second half I saw them try to run at 3rd and 7!? Did they manage to run the ball even half that distance on any play prior to that? It was like watching a sporting version of Einstein's definition of insanity. American football is a really complicated game and I don't pretend to understand it to even GCSE levels, but I would be interested to see if anyone who better understands the game can defend those play calls.
Throughout the regular season Seattle had one of the best run games in the league, but in passing statistics they were ranked near the bottom.
If they weren't comfortable with their pass game, they risk field position either by throwing an interception, or by the QB getting sacked. The coaches must have felt much better about running the ball.
And although it may seem daft continuously running into a wall of defenders, if they had been able to tire that Dallas defense, or potentially find the opening they were looking for, everything would have clicked into place. When it doesn't work, you haven't lost many yards, and then get to punt from a better position.
Lamar so frustrating to watch when the running game isn’t working.
Ravens need to put Flacco in, can’t win a play off game with a running back at QB.
Fecking hell harbaugh your defence is shit hot you got to go for 4 and 1
Even if you have a really strong run attack, you still have to mix it up to keep the opposing defence on their toes. If they know what's coming it's obviously much easier to defend. Last night they were calling runing plays or throwing screen passes to the running back on 3rd down after penalties had put them back well beyond 10 yards. I think they threw a screen pass on 3rd and 17 at one point.
Game on!
Game over!
How did he push that so far left, eagles live to fight another day but Brees against that secondary :yikes:
What a finish in the Bears v Eagles game.
Field goal effort to win the game for the Bears in the final seconds hit the post and the bar but stayed out
Un-****ing-believable. Parkey been useless all year and now costs us in our biggest game. His contracts big aswell so I can't see him being cut either!
Wow!
