NFL 2016 - new season

[Pathetic Shark]

Anywhere online I can see highlights of yesterdays wild card games other than waiting for BBC highlights on Tuesday?

Hoping Steelers or Kansas can win SBOWL but clever money will be on New England as usual.

NFL GamePass has the condensed version of the games - 40 minutes without the colour commentary.

Got all the coaching predictions spot on outside of Marvin Lewis where the Bengals tight-fisted ownership don't want to pay off the rest of his contract. Seattle looked good in the Wild Card game last night as their O-Line has started playing a lot better in the past month. But the road to the Super Bowl still goes through Dallas and New England.

The Raiders' chances went down the toilet when Derek Carr broke his leg. The scary teams are the Giants who could win in Dallas and the Steelers who could win in New England. They are the teams the favourites are afraid of simply because of the match-ups they bring.

Yes, agree here. NYG have sneaked two Ws v Dallas this term. Kinda hope GBay do the honours....

The Green Bay win last night was great news for Dallas as it removed their bogey team from the equation. It was like having to play an 18 hole competition and being told you're being given a par at the Stroke Index 1 hole automatically. The Packers can move the ball on anyone and the hottest team in the NFL right now but the Cowboys would far rather face them because they will be able to run the ball on them.

The New England v Houston line opened at -14.5 last night, one of the biggest spreads in playoff betting history. The Cheatriots still haven't faced a decent team all year as when they played Pittsburgh earlier this year, the legend in his own lifetime that is Landry Jones was playing QB. I still like the upset in the title game of the Chiefs or Steelers going into Foxboro and winning.

Well PS your assesment on a franchise not coming to London was an intersting read. Probably not what I wanted to hear, but as honest as you could get.

re this year, cmon Patriots.

PS, is the Gronk out for the rest of the season.

Very disappointed with the Dolphins effort last night. They looked like a team who have never played together, playing a team who actually wanted to win. Matt Moore MUST be removed and a decent back up brought in.

Does anyone else find it strange that when anything goes wrong no one has a go at anyone?

win as a team ,lose as a team .thats the mindset CF

Unfortunately CF, our threadbare defense condemned us, as Pittsburgh were able to just run all day. By the time Vance Joseph sorted anything out, it was too late - no good with no real linebackers or first choice safety's. Matt Moore did throw an INT but the two fumbles were caused by the O line not picking up the blitz both times - he actually played ok otherwise and was able to move the offense in the 2nd half (Pittsburgh were in prevent at that time though). If we had got points at the end of the first half and the first drive of the 2nd, it would have been closer. Gutted but considering we were forecast to win no more than 6 games with a thin roster and 1st year head coach, it was better than we thought.

Caught highlights of the Green Bay v Giants game here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD8XRjYBwrA
The display by Aaron Rodgers is stunning, even though he has very good offense protection the confidence needed to hang onto the ball and dance around looking for a pass for so long is incredible.
Think I might have a wager on Green Bay for superbowl as Giants are no mugs.

The Falcons looked very tasty tonight against Seattle.

Yes Gronk is out for the year but has been ever present each week for his ahem ... supplements. Allegedly.

I thought the Texans would cover the 16 point spread last night so was pissed when Ostweiler threw that late pick. Had the Falcons over Seattle thanks to a buddy of mine kicking for them. I do think Green Bay can pull an upset in Dallas and would not want to call the Pit v KC game.

really looking forard to GB and the COWBOYS,it could be a classic .will Dallas bring in Romo if they have their backs to the wall in the 4th?
must say i fancy big Ben to come out on top in the other game.

romo won't be anywhere near this game. My pack don't have the firepower on D to slow Dak down majorly.

I still think we win though

Good win for the pats, thought Brady was lobbing some long uns in the win. Probably why he got picked off a couple of times.

They were running a lot of wheel routes and also using Edelman on deeper crossing routes. The Texans playing man left those deeper passes open. One of the picks was definitely a case of the receiver running the wrong route. God I hate the Cheatriots but even I have to admire them at times.

Seen them a couple of times at Wembley and it is on me bucket list to see them in America. When I played American football back in the eighties for Mansfield Express, In essence you had to pick a team, I picked New England, that year they got to there first ever Super Bowl. the Fridge, Steve McMahon, and the legendary Walter Payton made sure it was a painful Super Bowl. Seen them at times and just thought they have been a few plays short of being mentioned in the same breath as the packers and Steelers in there prime. Even though they are in there sixth straight AFC Final.

Fingers crossed for the Cowboys tonight

Perhaps the balls were overinflated?

Gonna need more than that if we're going pull this off. Packers offence so fluid at the moment.

Ain't looking good, need a score with no reply before half time.
