NFL Time!!!

[Ohiotractorboy]

Poor Vikes. How did he miss that? Cant stand Pete Carroll, he cheated while at USC and when caught he bolted to the NFL and left the university to pay the price. What a fukin pr*ck.

And did you see the end of the Bungles v Squealers game? Holy crap

[The Don]

It's shaping up to be a pretty good "bowl"

Mike will be happy with the cheeseheads making it through I'm sure. I'm currently siding with the Chiefs.

[marko69]

Can't see them overcoming Brady's knee pads........., sorry, NE PATS, in next Saturday's game. But it'll be an absolute cracker. Looking fwd to it.

[The Don]

I can't see past them either, but I'm rooting for Smith. The way we dumped him in hindsight was poor. I'd love to see him make it all the way.

[number 9]

I'm putting my money on Big Ben and the Steelers!...since I don't have another team to cheer for!!!

[Ohiotractorboy]

Interested to see who the Niners hire as head coach, Don. Did you see the pic of the attendance at their last game? Almost as bad as the Browns attendance

[The Don]

Until they do something about the upper levels it won't matter. Things went downhill with the Harbaugh sacking.

Jed York is a highly disliked man and until they bring in a coach who they won't interfere with or expect to be their puppet, things will just get worse.

[The Don]

Seems my LA Rams cup is back in fashion

Browns sign Hue Jackson as head coach today. I think this could finally turn things around, he is respected across the league amongst players and coaches and might be able to get quality free agents in.

Good move that.

Chip Kelly??????

I'm f**king done

[Ohiotractorboy]

I have no idea the allure of this guy. I never liked his system in college, when they played a tough defense it wilted as the game when along. It didn't work in Philly, and not sure what San Fran is thinking here.

[marko69]

Got to say, unlucky for blueMike and those GBPackers. What an absolute miracle throw by Rodgers with seconds left.... And what a catch?! They deserved to go through on that play alone. That's the best piece of play I've seen all season. Aaron Rodgers is awesome to watch.

But the last two plays by the Cards in OT were pretty sensational too. Well done AZ.

[number 9]

Cards/Packs was probably the best game I've seen all season! Nice to see the Cardinals push on after such a great season. Cardinals answered Rodgers with Fitzgerald. The Packers definitely came close. Brilliant game!

[Ohiotractorboy]

Yeah, that was a great game.

The Rams returning to LA is interesting. I hope they go back to yellow/traditional colors as that gold looked like crap.

Predicting a Patriots v Panthers SB.

Panthers win.

I hope so. That would be special

Gutted Marko, gutted !!!

Right......, took day off tomorrow, got the beers in and all set for the Conference games. First game I feel is going to be marginally better,....., Brady's Pats won't be too "deflated" after today I think.

And absolute superstar, Cammy Newton afterwards v the Cardinals. Really can't see any other outcome than a Carolina win. For the record, I have watched Newton closely all season long after he spent time during preseason training with the AFL's Richmond Tigers in Melbourne. The respect he got from superstars like Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin was awesome. If anyone deserves a SuperBowl ring, it's Cammy.

Bit of a secret Panther fan here.

I completely agree about Newton, Marko. This is certainly his year! It should be a good SB...curious to see if Denver's defense will slow down Cam (I doubt it!). I just hope it's not a blow out. I really don't mind who wins...both Manning and Newton are worthy contenders. It may also be Peyton's swan-song!

[Ohiotractorboy]

Newton is a force on the field. They shredded the Cardinals who did not appear to be interested in being there. And thank GOD the Patriots lost!

[marko69]

And thank GOD the Patriots lost!

Amen to that.

I like Peyton, but it is just so hard to root against the Panthers.

[marko69]

I agree. It's the first Superbowl in years where I want a particular team to win, BUT not to bothered if the Broncos can do it. Certainly would be fairytale stuff for Peyton. Looking forward to it.

[number 9]

Latest odds for Denver winning the SB next year, 16-1...the same as Dallas!

[Ohiotractorboy]

Wow, Denver showed what a rock ribbed defense can achieve in the NFL!

[number 9]

Sanchez to Broncos, RG3 to Browns...I think they call that a dirty sanchez?

[Ohiotractorboy]

Romo hurt again, hopefully our main man ZEKE! can carry the load for the 'boys this year. We will be watching the Cowboys up here in Columbus.

My son was listening to a podcast on soccer out of England about two weeks ago. He was saying the announcers were talking about Leicester and how any team has a chance. They then threw in unless you are a Browns fan. Christ, even the BRITS know how hopeless it is
