NFL (since 2016)

[crystal falace]

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Enjoy mate .

[colchesterhammer]

Just arrived in KC. Can't wait for the game - let's hope we can make it 3 Super Bowls in a row!

[El Scorchio]

Rapelisberger has retired

[zebthecat]

Looks as the Broncos will appoint Nathaniel Hackett as Head Coach. Reckon they'll go for a Rodgers/Devante Adams double now.

[El Scorchio]

Sounds like WFT will either be the Red Hogs or the Commanders. Commanders being the less shit alternative. Owch

Sean Payton leaves N'orleans after 16 years. Not everybody's cup of tea (Bountygate etc!) but oversaw a consistently excellent regime in the deep south. If ever there was a man who needed to have a break and take a year off for his own good...

[Barty]

I prefer handball even cricket to the the overdeveloped NFL

Just been catching up with the games... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/24/nfl-playoffs-bills-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-josh-allen-football I'd go along with this article... one of the most incredible games not only of NFL but of sport... quite fucking brilliant... and to be fair the 3 play off games were not far behind... last month or so it's been absolutely top notch viewing... love watching the Kitty Kats... real fairytale David and Goliath stuff but think Mahomes and co will just be too strong ... just hope the Championship games can live up to the excitement of these... can't wait

"If Buffalo Squibs the kick off, forcing the return guy to pick it up and make a play then the Chiefs lose""¶.kicking it into the end zone and giving Mahomes 13 seconds is on the coaching staff. Vinci already beat the chiefs earlier this year. The Chiefs defence can be scored on, don't be so sure the Chiefs win it all. Football games are won and lost in the trenches. Any given Sunday any team can win. I like the Niners match up against the Rams, McVay doesn't have the answer and our deep D line takes over games as the o line tires which is why Stafford scored 7 points in the second half against us last time, Dak was embarrassed all game and so was Rodgers. DeFense wins championships."

[Grumpster]

"The thing with winning runs against teams is they have to end eventually and not hard to see why the Rams would be the favourites when we're so dependant on defence due to having arguably the worst QB left, albeit he's probably better than half what the teams have in the nfl. We'll certainly be a better test than the beaten up bucs I'm sure, but whoever wins won't be beating the chiefs in the final anyway. That cսnt mahomes and Allen showed that along with Herbert there are some top drawer younger QB's out there."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Nuts - the 49ers are definitely on a roll. Momentum and confidence with them. But beware those fecking Rams - at some point that extremely expensive, star-studded line-up might click. And, somewhere in there, Stafford does have an arm."

[Nutsin]

"Niners have the best Defence and the best run game left in the tournament. We ran all over the Rams twice already this year, first game was a beat down, second game we took the Rams best shot and still won. There's a reason why the Niners are 6-0 against these Rams. And don't forget we got a Deebo and a Kittle,"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Are our resident 49ers and Rams fans going to watch it together, with an arm around each other('s necks)?"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Rams - Niners Chiefs - Bengals Should be two good games. I'll take the stray cats to win it all - just so that Jets fans can boast that we beat the SuperBowl winners during yet another shite season... Realistically, looks like the Chiefs v Whichever of Stafford or Jimmy G holds up against the rush best... Niners/Rams could get very ugly and entertaining."

[Mr. Burns]

"""Got to go for the Rams now!"" Yes El Scorch!!"

[southbankbornnbred]

Cough - my thoughts exactly!

[El Scorchio]

"Shame about the Bills. Would have loved to see them win one at long last, and They had the pieces this season. Got to go for the Rams now! Wouldn't be too upset to see the Chiefs win. They are good to watch and Mahomes is absolutely awesome."

[Far Cough]

"Brady is good, very good but he's no John Elway"

[southbankbornnbred]

"I know that, in spending terms, it was like watching Man City beat Chelsea...but it was good to see the Rams beat the Buccs, if only to stop Tom Brady from gathering another SB win. He 'might' be the best of all time (I actually slightly disagree with that), but he annoyed the fuck out of me too often while tearing apart the Jets! So I'm glad he's out!"

[lab]

Oh I see !

[cup of tea]

I know mate just wondering what odds would have been

[lab]

Cup of tea 4:47 .They didn't mate .

[Lee Trundle]

Those last 2 mins of regular time were crazy. The best play-off game I've witnessed.

[Nutsin]

Want a game! Coin toss won it! Chiefs have to be favourites for the Super Bowl!

[Capitol Man]

I generally hate the stilted end to games but it can lead to some fantastic finishes.
