Vikings absolutely shitting the bed at home to the nothing-to-play-for Bears. 2 yards of offense so far.

Bit of an asterisk there, they were rolling until Smith exploded

Check out their record since Snyder took over. He's a stiff.

Why do officials keep blowing plays dead when they know there's been a close call. Browns just lost a touchdown

MBL? · « **Reply #50525 on:** December 30, 2018, 11:01:53 pm »

Anybody know if the bears are resting players for the second half?

Baker Mayfield is so much fun.
Patrick Mahomes is just ridiculous.

I don't like having to rely on Mitchell Trubisky

Bears love right now for me being as the eagles are winning

80 yards on 23 passing attempts. Cousins is stealing a living,

jonkrux · « **Reply #50530 on:** December 31, 2018, 12:06:45 am »

Shutout. 😍

Red Viper · « **Reply #50531 on:** December 31, 2018, 12:09:40 am »

Haha, this is shocking from Cousins

Disgustingly bad offense from the Vikes. I've no idea what Zimmer has been thinking this season.

Eagles in the playoffs. Crazy. Season looked over after that Dallas loss

Don't think I've ever been as excited for the playoffs in all my time following the NFL and the Packers aren't even involved.

Eagles will beat the bears if foles is back.

Last time the Chiefs won a home playoff game Joe Montana was there QB.

Well the Patriots have a bye, but I can't see them winning a Super Bowl. Not as a strong as in past years.

That said, some interesting marks set today:
The Patriots earned their 13th playoff bye since 2001. ... They scored more than 400 points for the 12th straight season, extending their record. ... The ninth straight playoff bye also extended a record; Dallas and San Francisco (1992-95) and Denver (2012-15) went four straight. ... The ninth straight 11-win season is also a record; Indianapolis had seven from 2003-09. ... Belichick's 16th 11-win season is the most in history (Don Shula had 13).

I'm calling it now. Kansas City Chiefs vs. LA Rams in the Super Bowl. Rams will win.

They do play in the AFC East though.

Yet another year of mediocrity by the Redskins. Fans are asking Dan Snyder to fire Bruce Allen, but the owner likes surrounding himself with incompetent yes men. This team hasn't won 11 games in the last 27 years. Fans should stop going to games until the front office is sorted out, it's not the players, it's the management.

Quote from: Claus on December 30, 2018, 08:16:16 pm

They weren't rolling by any means - they had been pretty lucky to be sitting 6-3 in a confused NFC East where the Cowboys and Eagles hadn't woken up. Losing game manager noodle-arm Smith certainly hurt - but the skins were a 9-7 team at best anyway with a first round loss. Which would have then meant more treading water.

In any event - the fans are speaking out - 29th out of 32 teams in attendance this season, worst "new" stadium ever - to the point they are blocking off swaths of seats with advertising (giving away and discounting tickets as well).

This has been building since Napolea....Snyder took over. Possibly looking at the 10th new head coach in 20 season etc. etc. etc. etc.

But it's never Danny's fault. NEVER.

Not that you see them on redzone per say but ill miss the in season ads you'l never see again, this was a personal favourite

from 1-5 to 10-6 and going to the playoffs. fantastic achievement from Reich and the team. good to see luck back in the playoffs where he belongs.

Statto Red · « **Reply #50550 on:** December 31, 2018, 04:34:11 am »

Weird game, Colts should have been more comfortable, but big errors let the Titans in.

On to the playoffs now, NFC Wildcard round matchups are more mouthwatering, Seahawks at Cowboys & Eagles at Bears.

They can beat the Texans but that'll be it I think.

Agreed, the Colts should have been out of site by the end of the 3rd, but let the Titans back in through a couple of bonehead turnovers, can't play like that in the playoffs.

Chargers 12-4

End up #5 seed and no home field advantage. Pretty sick really.

Saying that I don't think Home field makes much difference to those guys.

Not really but it's the other side the problem, 1pm eastern kickoff is a disadvantage and then if end up going to pats it's yet more long travel to massive home field for them.

Have chargers Vs either no/lar as my superbowl bet so bit frustrating 12-4 and all the traveling!

This is particularly glorious. Via Schefter on the Twitter:

"Eagles’ QB Nick Foles has a $1 million incentive if Philadelphia goes to the postseason AND he plays 33 percent of team’s plays. His bruised ribs that prevented him from finishing today’s game now mean he played 32 percent of Eagles’ plays - 1 percent short of $1 million. Ouch."

Ha

that report's changed then, a couple of weeks ago it was per game.

Raiders are hiring Mike Mayock as their new GM.

Presumably cos hiring a TV guy worked so well for them this season.
