    SO it's confirmed... Rams back to LA. Chargers with option to follow.

    Shawks, Packers, Broncos (cos why not), Chiefs

    I think the Pats game...what's with Bills black eye above his eye? Some theories: Playing catch with fully inflated balls, caught spying on cheerleaders shower, etc...

    I really think Ben isn't going to play. If he does he will be at a very low % of health. He has two bad injuries. I would actually start Michael Vick over Landry Jones.

    Wonder if the Cam Newton personal life rumors bother him at all. Some people seem bothered by that, some don't. its out of the bag though.

    The difference made to the Pats with the returned players is staggering.

    I'm not enjoying this at all.

    I don't know what bothers me more about yesterday, how bad a coach Andy Reid is or how bad Carson is in a big spot.

    So Championship Sunday has arrived - the last proper NFL day of the season. I think with the weather etc - Carolina will have too much for the Cardinals.

    So that leaves the AFC Championship Game.
    Patriots v Broncos
    Brady v Manning
    Real ale Madrid v BonnieShels

    Patriots are 3 point favorites - which I find plenty strange given 1 half decent performance last week against the Chiefs - If the Broncos can keep Brady and co. off the field for a reasonable amount of time when they have a chance but can they put points on the board themselves will be the question. I'm much more relaxed as Patriots fan this season as opposed to last year in the playoffs - there was huge pressure last year to finish the job after a decade of failure. So whatever will be will be but I think the Pats win by a TD, but i'd be keeping my money in my pocket!

  9. Thanks From:

    The Broncos are going to get worked today. 35 -10 Pats. You should not poke the bear.

    I don't know Crosby - there isn't much between say the Chiefs and Broncos if they were to play each other - Patriots didn't exactly blow them away last week at home.
    I'd expect a close enough game.

    I just feel like they will have no answers for Gronk and Edelman....all the Vegas money is going on the pats. Casinos will be rooting heavily for denver.

    Knocked out by Gostkowski's first missed PAT since 1865. Sick. Well done BonnieShels , GL in SB50.

    If they can't cheat they can't win! Delighted, can watch the NFC game and SB in comfort now that the Cheatriots are out.

    Thinking back to the game last night - people that don't take much interest in American football are definitely missing out in what can be a highly dramatic sport. The whole game last night was full of sporting tension.

    And it showed the critical nature of special teams - all 3 of the 4 TD's were scored off short field position, showing how important punting and kicking still is in the modern game. A missed PAT so early in the game proved to be the pivotal moment. Every play counts. Remarkable.

    Only watched the first half of Panthers / Cardinals but people will be very quick to dismiss the Broncos chances in the Superbowl - if Denver can do what they did last night in shutting down the likes of Brady / Edelman / Gronk for long spells then they will be more than capable of doing something similar to Newton, Olsen et al and will be highly motivated to avoid what happened two years ago.

    Panthers are 4.5 point favorites right now. Will be interesting to see where that lands.

    Bill had a very odd game yesterday and some odd games coaching wise this year. Not going for the FG was just bizarre. He met with the media by 9AM in Boston...im telling you, that man does not sleep. Kept saying "We are already getting started on next season." OK Bill. Give it a rest. His schtick is getting old.

    Von Miller has turned into L.T.

    Good call Real Madrid, you were right, I was so wrong on that one. Made it up with Carolina though. I turned that off at halftime. Cards looked lost.

    Early facts:
    This SB will be the first where two overall #1 picks will start at QB vs each other.
    This SB will have the highest age differential between starting cubes.

    Not sure if this means it's a sign but the field crew mistakenly painted the Broncos in both end zones before anyone noticed.....

    Saw that. Good thing it wasn't the Panthers first as Black would have been fierce hard to hide.

    I had thought that if our D turned up and floored Tom early we would do it. Though I would have preferred a 4th down attempt at the end just to eat up more time than a punt would. Especially as we missed some tackles anyway. Blessed all the same. And what a game of Football it was. In a season loaded with classics and dramatic finishes it was quite something.

    I will always be more optimistic than I should be but I never thought it would be a blow out.
