Real shame about Carson Wentz's injury, I hate Philly because of their fans but that team was exciting to watch and I was hoping they would break their fans heart's in January/February instead during the regular season.

Meanwhile the Pats still can't win in South Beach, Jay Cutler looked like he actually gave a damn what happened and Brady got straight beat up by the pass rush, makes next week's matchup with the Steelers even more epic, how great would it be if the Jags got the 2 seed and the bye, been a while since Brady had to battle on Wildcard weekend.

Elsewhere, the snow game was awesome! The NFC South is the most exciting division in football and they all play each other over the last 3 weeks so there is some really great games to look forward to. I f*****g LOVE December Football!!!

Stayed up for the 1st Q last night - God I'm getting old - had to hit the hay. Pats were in trouble early but if they win the last 3 games they are guaranteed to be No.1 seed so while they never would admit it, they certainly had an eye on next Sunday.

The Snow Game in Buffalo was great alright, spent most of Sunday evening watching it over better match-ups elsewhere.

You can't beat December football alright - throw in the Bowl madness and the CFP on New Years Eve and its a great time of the year for the Fuseball.

It was a nice thing to wake up to. Great to hear TB got milled out of it too. Hupp. Really looking forward to PIT-NE. As I'm sure everyone is really.

Watched our game v Jets; and we turned up. It was disappointing. We can't even blow a season correctly.

Packers Panthers has potential as well on Sunday to be a whopper. Cmon Aaron!!!

**Mr A** · 13/12/2017, 9:53 AM

FFS Raiders.

That is all.

**BonnieShels** · 14/12/2017, 1:21 AM

What what?

**Mr A** · 14/12/2017, 1:11 PM

Just expressing general discontent with the Raiders, having finally shown signs of life absolutely rolling over for Kansas and that's the season basically hosed. There is potential there but it ain't coming together for some reason.

**BonnieShels** · 14/12/2017, 5:58 PM

I assumed but then I was hoping something else. Dammit.

**Real ale Madrid** · 18/12/2017, 1:00 AM

Here's to the #1 seed and not knowing what a catch is.

Unbelievable! There must have been about 4/5 catches yesterday where the ruling made no sense. Then the stupidity to try a fake spike and throw to 1 receiver against 5 Patriots instead of taking the FG and going to OT at home, crazy.

**BonnieShels** · 18/12/2017, 4:50 PM

Just give them the trophy already. I'll probably start watching again when that schmuck retires. FFS.

**BonnieShels** · 07/01/2018, 2:01 AM

Unbelievable comeback by the Titans tonight. 21-3 down and win 22-21.

That's Smith done in KC now.

**Mr A** · 07/01/2018, 2:35 PM

Yeah, that was a mad game. KC looked irresistible and then fell apart. Amazing sometimes that these teams with huge rosters are still massively reliant on one or two players.

**BonnieShels** · 09/01/2018, 12:02 AM

Saints looked wonderful in fits last night. Brees is special. Let Carolina back into it though. They'll have to knock that out of their game.

NFC is looking great.

NO-MIN is looking tasty. Very very excited for that like I haven't a game in a long time. Super Bowl 50 perhaps...

**ArFella** · 09/01/2018, 8:48 AM

Great Wildcard weekend, bar the Jags-Bills game. Pats get another cupcake playoff game before they face the Steelers who should overcome the Jags but it will be a tough physical game leaving them nice and softened up for the Patriots, who never seem to get any luck

NFC looks great, Falcons look set for another NFC championship game as Nick Foles is Nick Foles, so we could see a Superbowl rematch which could be interesting, but I'd prefer the winner of Saints-Vikes to go to the SB. Vikings playing a home Superbowl would make for an equally interesting narrative.

Don't need luck when you win at least 13 games per year. The #1 seed is supposed to get the easiest game. That's why its important.

Steelers to beat the Jags eventually.

I reckon Atlanta v New Orleans in the NFC.

Nick Foles v Matt Ryan

Case Keenum v Drew Brees.

Hint - the future Hall of Famers are in bold. Moneyline 4 team accumulator is roughly 7/2.

Easy enough to win 13 games a season when 6 are in the AFC East though...

Ah that old tired argument. Which AFC division had the most wins this season? Let's check!

East 32
West 29
North 26
South 27

So the Patriots won 13 games in statistically the strongest Division.

Come back to me when we get to play the Browns twice a year, every year.

**BonnieShels** · 11/01/2018, 4:03 AM

It's not a tired argument at all. I enjoy it.

It truly is easy to rile a Pats fan.

That took no time at all. :P

I'm sure you can do a run through over the years perhaps as well to completely disprove the argument even further...

Nice warm-up with the Titans though. And Steelers getting injured in practice. Sure it's handy. The NFC are gonna beat the crap out of each other. Softened up for ye.

---

It's almost as bad as a Kerryman complaining about the toughness of Munster on the basis that Tipperary and Clare got to the QF in one anomalous year or that half the teams in the AISF 2016 were from Munster, therefore Munster is tough...

People moaning about injuries when Patriots won the SB least year without Gronk and have played the entire season this year without the best slot receiver in modern times. Not to mind others on the IR list - Cannon, Ebner, Hightower. Key players like Gilislee, Hogan, Van Noy and Flowers also hurt, but no - the Steelers are getting hurt in practice!

NFC is good.

Kerry football something.

**BonnieShels** · 14/01/2018, 2:41 AM

I've watched the first half of this.

I don't know why I thought it would go any other way. Pats got out of jail with a couple of decisions and now punishing the Titans. Sickening.
