I can't see any!!

I know Ch 4 have some matches in the playoffs, but I can't see any on Eurosport!!

Really annoyed with Chicago Bears after last nights game. They were leading, had Green Bay on 4th and 8 but the safety went to sleep and allowed a touchdown pass with less than a minute to play!
Cuttler then threw the worst "hail mary" pass I've ever seen and is intercepted. This after he fannied around looking for an opening when he had the space to run for a first down and out of bounds to stop the clock in less time than he was dancing for. If he was playing for a new contract then I hope the door didn't hit his ass on the way out. The journeyman who stood in for him while he was injured is a much better prospect!
Why can't Chicago get a quality QB to go with Jeffries, Marshall, Forte and Bush???? Rant over

 

[t3ch]

because they're chicago

 

[darlowolf64]

because they're chicago

and what does that mean? Bears have some excellent attacking players who cause problems to every team they face (see just four listed above) They are regularly up towards the top/into the playoffs and have been to the Superbowl recently too. It is far from a stretch that they should be able to attract a top QB

 

[t3ch]

Firstly, teams in the NFL don't have to worry about 'attracting' players.

Secondly, all that and yet, they've still not managed to get a good QB, and wasted a bunch of picks getting the schmuck they'll be releasing in the off season. They're the bears. I don't think they've ever had a good qb.

Cutler wouldn't have had to throw that hail mary pass right at the end if the receiver had caught a simple ball down the middle completely unmarked on the previous play.

 

[Tony Towner]

My inevitably flawed predictions:

Colts
Bengals
Saints
49ers
next week, pays 9/1.

Then Seattle to beat Saints, Carolina to beat 49ers, with the Panthers making it through from the NFC, beating Seahawks on their own patch.

In the AFC, Pats to beat Bengals, Broncos to beat Colts and then New England in the Championship game, eventually winning the SB vs Carolina.

it the bears had been good enough, their season wouldn't have come down to the last 5 minutes of the 16th game

Er Jim McMahon was a very good QB, a bit of a renegade but still very good.

Andrew Luck is going to be some player, Easily the next Brett Favre. And Drew Brees is just outstanding, and the a Saints go marching on, where is that Cam fella now eh?

:ursofunny::ursofunny::ursofunny:

What's that worth then.... $65,000,000.?

I'd say with the shocking weather over there that the Packers will feel more at home than the 49ers.
Isn't the whole NE of America covered in snow and -20 to -50 temps?

 

[Tony Towner]

Damn Bengals cost me £55. Got my money back, plus a little bit with the treble though. Difficult to see beyond the home sides next week.

 

[t3ch]

Wonderful start to the playoffs!! All 3 games were fantastic except the SD/Cin game, which I gave no shits about and it was boring anyway.

Aint that a bitch!!

Where's that Cam fella? He was at home, resting on his warm couch watching the games, because he and his team (and the Seahawks) did better than everyone else in the NFC, Saints included.

Saints will lose in Seattle, niners will lose in Carolina.

Was that GIF for the winning FG? I didn't spot it at the time.

There's some tasty looking games coming up now.
