NFL (since 2016)

Post 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."

"Bills currently having one of their 'on fire' days, clearly! Allen has stepped up tonight. It's weird - they look so good when they have self-belief. They looked panicked against even the Jets in September, when our defense got to them."

Quality run. Suh is so softly spoken and eloquent. Great to listen to.

"stewie griffin 9:37 Mon Jan 15 Not much of a comparison. One is probably the biggest singer on the planet, the other (and I'm probably showing my age here) is someone I've never heard of. It's like comparing Ed Shearon with ray winstone (off here)."

Dolphins were fucked as soon as they lost to the Bills and gave away home advantage.

Cowboys were bad but the Dolphins were worse. They were pathetic!

"Lee Trundle¬†5:28 Mon Jan 15 Re: NFL (since 2016) Nowhere near as much fuss around hailee steinfeld when she goes to see josh Allen. Possibly because she doesn't parade around like an attention seeking cսnt? In other news, tough to call which was the most predictable outcome of the weekend; Dak Prescott throwing a bunch of picks that killed his team in the playoffs, or the LOLphins failing to trouble a team with a record over .5"

"Nutsin 2:05 Mon Jan 15 From what I've read, Quinn is already lined up for an interview. Although the coaching situation will obviously change as the play-offs progress - and no team can approach a coach in the play-offs until the Championship games are done"

Thanks! That's him. Seems like a lovely guy. Hasn't posted for a few weeks by the look of it so hopefully he's well.

Lions get over their playoff hump. The Cowboys don't.! Seems like a pretty good weekend for most sane football fans.?

"Bloody loved that play. All the sweeter (sorry to the nice guy who supports the Saints- cant remember his name and actually is he still around?) that it happened to the Saints. Dirty buggers. Amazingly at the time at least, it was the first game in NFL playoffs history to end in a touchdown as time expired."

"Hahaha! That was a great moment for the Vikes, no question. BUT it is also one of the worst attempts at a tackle by an NFL cornerback I have ever seen. I still can't believe it to this day. Watch it back, and just watch the CB and what he does. He doesn't just take his eye off the ball, he also takes his eyes off the receiver, puts his head down, stares at the ground, and goes straight UNDER the receiver while he's in the air. It's absolutely pathetic. Any sort of contact on Diggs at that point and he would go down and it would marked as a first down and nothing more. If he stands up and makes the hit on contact, he might even knock the ball loose. Instead, the div goes straight under the receiver! Love it, though. Great moment."

"It seems to me to be a lack of real leadership in ""clutch"" moments. Possibly even a lack of belief in those moments. Kansas have it with Reid and with Mahomes. Buffalo have yet to prove it."

"Buffalo are a strange team. Allen is a talented QB - but 'some' folk think he relies on his natural talent and doesn't work/study hard enough to be Mahomes-level good or consistent. Even though he has a cannon for an arm. Equally, their WRs are odd: people like Diggs are similarly talented, yet a few too many of them don't seem to really put their bodies on the line to get open. You sometimes get the feeling they're going through the motions, rather than busting a gut. The whole thing is hard to describe until you watch them. If they 'click' on a particular day and catch fire, then they're hard to handle. But you definitely get days with them where they're flat as an entire unit and they all seem to be looking at somebody else to be the spark that then doesn't happen. Maybe that's down to the players, or the coach. Or both. I don't know."

"Chiefs and Buffalo would be great. Have to say I think Buffalo are hitting stride at the right time. (Now I've said that, they will lose later) As for the Cowboys, just keep doing what they are doing. They can keep anointing themselves champions in waiting for as many Septembers as they wish, as long as they keep failing in January. 28 years and counting.... Not sure you'll ever top that Romo botched field goal hold for pure comedy though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPuhwAIzrYk"

"The hit on Higbee (Rams Tight end) was pretty nasty. Took out his knee. It looks like a serious injury. Niners are rested and healthy. Green Bay's offense looks like a handful, the defense not so much. Nice to see the Cowboys and Rams go out yesterday. Chiefs and Buffalo next week would be a hell of a game. Stroud and Love have both shown they are ballers, fans of each franchise should be happy. Some interesting coaching vacancies to be had and some interesting prospects floating around.Harbaugh to the Chargers seems to be gathering momentum and Belichick to the Falcons according to Gronk. Although the Cowboys could be looking to replace McArthy which would leave Quinn out there for the Seahawks job perhaps?"

"Warm weather teams always get a bit of a raw deal come the playoffs if they don;t get home field advantage, travelling to places where what they do well is often compromised, and against teams well used to it. You have to really be a better team to overcome that sometimes. But I guess that's exactly why home field advantage is such a great reward for being the best during the regular season."
