The NFL Thread

Had terrible flashbacks to the Bengals game from last season but That 4th and 10 interception for the Ravens wins the AFC North and ends the Steelers stranglehold and there season. 6-1 with Jackson at QB

 

[James]

Really? I thought they had all the calls spot on. Great finish to the game and to sex pest Ben's (allegedly) season.

It doesn’t matter at this point especially that 10 second drop they gave the Browns but it was a hell of a game and that means no steelers in the play offs

Thank you to the Bears and Matt Nagy, but hope you get twatted next week.

I wouldn't be confident if I were an Eagles fan...

 

[BillyDee]

I'd wait to see how many injuries there are. The Bears took a gamble on pushing for the bye and played their starters. A fair few got injured, and despite the win they are still playing next week. Hopefully the injuries aren't too serious...

Eagles have hit form at just the right time. Should be a close game.

I think Darlo may be a Bears fan. Of course when they get past the Eagles they'll get spanked in NO.

Confident? No and the Bears are rightly favourites but I'm surprised they chose to beat the Vikings as you don't know what you are going to get with Foles. In the last two weeks he has broken the franchise record for yards in a game and consecutive completions. He's also capable of having a complete dud of a game, but if he is hot Trubisky isn't going to beat him in a shootout.

The game will come down to the Bears D versus Eagles O, I'd favour the former, but with memories of last season still fresh I think the Eagles are as dangerous a number 6 seed as you are going to get.

Two weeks to go. First up is the Wildcard Round of the playoffs. 4 games starting Sat night.

 

[James]

ah fuck the gamble didnt pay off... piss of cowboys.

 

[Tony Towner]

Two weeks to go. First up is the Wildcard Round of the playoffs. 4 games starting Sat night.

Colts, Seahawks, Bears and Ravens is my pick, hopefully they'll all be close games as you could easily make a case for the opposition in every one.

 

[James]

Ravens, Bears, texans and Seahawks (hopefully)

 

[The Bear]

Same as James.

 

[Tony Towner]

Did the prediction on the Sky site. Had Bears@Saints and Colts@Ravens Championship games with the Saints beating the Ravens in the SB. I do think the winner is coming from the NFC, but could see the Bears shutting down NO.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Anyone but the Cowboys will do me.

 

[Deano]

Can't see the Ravens beating the Chargers this time

 

[The Bear]

No deadline until 9:35pm Saturday, but a quick reminder for Johnny and Punts.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Shocker of a leg/ankle break for Hurns. Probs best if you don’t watch it

Gusty 35mph winds in Baltimore going to be a good running game
