Mason Rudolph still has zero pocket awareness but that was a much better second quarter offensively. Good to get Joshua Dobbs involved in some RPO’s.

Yeah even so Tua is who Flores would have gone with. To me if it weren’t for covid it should be a no-brainer and go with the hot hand.

Agreed on Tua though. To me he resembles Alex Smith. Being a game manager is not necessarily a bad thing it must be said, look at Bradys first seven or eight years in the league. He pretty much rode the back of his defense though the game has changed somewhat since those times.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Just hope we rest Allen second half don't need a potential injury to him he has had a good run out just give it to Barkley close out the 2nd half.

Ravens pretty much now confirmed for the playoffs. Of any of the potential wildcard teams these are the ones I would look to avoid like the plague.

This NFC East battle is really getting interesting now with the Cowboys given a lifeline off a Jones pick.

 

[kieran_vale]

That’s a horror throw from Tua, probably it for Miami now.

 

[Stagat]

Just glad Tua is still throwing picks now we've got Barkley in and won't score any more.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Ravens are a bad match for us it looks like we will have either Colts or Miami

Also the Grab by Davis to set up the TD by Williams was really impressive

Ok I'll shut up now.

Jets have given up on this game and we should win it to end the season 7-9. Considering the lack of talent on this roster that is actually a very good record and testament to BB the coach.

BB the GM is another matter though....

 

[kieran_vale]

Turning into a very chastening day for Tua. Almost like he is the quasi punter at this point the way he is dropping it into the safety’s hands.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Gabe Davis has been sneaky good especially considering he was a 4th round pick up pleased to see him get a 100 yard game today and 7 TD's on the season.

 

[kieran_vale]

that is the most NFC East play have seen. You have the game iced with the first down then put that on the ground.

Not sure if this can be overturned though as can’t see a clear Cowboys recovery.

Dolphins are going to miss out

Dolphins are going to miss out

Probably not much of a consolation right now but if things stay as they do with the Titans and Texans you’re in line for the third pick in the draft. Got a chance to add some serious talent or even if already seen enough of Tua got a shot at a top end QB.

I’m not sure I agree with KC resting players for this game. They already have the #1 seed and a bye next week. This backfired big time on the Ravens when they did this last season.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Never say never it was unlikely we would make the playoffs in 17 until the Red Rifle had his say. It does seem the Wc game will be Indy for us.

 

[kieran_vale]

Right now am trying to compute the fact that it is a battle between Mitch Trubisky, John Wolford and Chris Streveler to get their team into the post season. Would have got good odds on that.

 

[kieran_vale]

Now then this may just have gotten interesting for the Fins.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Wow what an end 18 seconds left the Texans level up and Tannehill throws a bomb to Brown and the kicker dinks a field goal

 

[kieran_vale]

Not particularly a huge admirer of the WFT or Snyder more specifically but it’s impossible not to be rooting for nailed on comeback player of the year Alex Smith and also Ron Rivera for that matter.

Smith has been dealing on this drive.

I like there front 4 that is one scary group don't think Brady wants anything to do with Washington

Also Wc tv schedule is released.

[kieran_vale]

The Eagles yanking Hurts in favour of Nate Sudfeld which in turn screws over the Giants is really a fitting finale for this car crash division

 

[Camborne Gills]

Wow what an end 18 seconds left the Texans level up and Tannehill throws a bomb to Brown and the kicker dinks a field goal

Pretty much what the Dolphins did to the Raiders last week.

Osi put the jinx on the 'Fins by saying that Tua wouldn't give the ball up.

3 picks and an 84 yard punt return later!!

Figures we'd be on SNF, now to figure out where I can fit in power naps with an early start next Monday.

The AFC Wildcard matchups look excellent on paper with Ravens @ Titans being the standout game from wildcard weekend. Personally I think the Colts matchup really well with the Bills, a very effective run game who can dominate TOP and then having an internal wrecker in DeForest Buckner and complimentary pieces in Justin Houstin and Darius Leonard to get after Josh Allen.

The Browns should get Denzel Ward, Malcolm Smith and Greedy Williams back for next week. That will make things more interesting that's for sure.

Pretty much agree with you on most of that Aberstone although with Buffalo if they do get up early the thought of Rivers having to throw from behind against the likes of White and Hyde in the freezing cold has the potential to end up looking very ugly for Indy.

NFC expect the Buccs to have too much for Washington and the Saints could not have asked for a more friendly matchup than the Bears. Seahawks and Rams should be the most competitive but even though he has dropped off somewhat as the season has gone on I'm not backing against Russ. Ultimately can't see anything other than a Saints-Packers NFC Championship game once all is said and done.

 

[Aberstone]

I should have added that the conditions above are on the pre-requisite that Indy either have a lead or that the deficit is manageable. Then again that didn't stop them completely falling apart vs. the Steelers a couple of weeks ago.

Are there any guarantees that Jared Goff is back for their game vs. Seattle? Whilst you should never back against Russell Wilson, that defense is nasty and will always keep the Rams competitive.

On a separate note, I may have missed this but did anybody see Albert Breer's tweet about how a potential Game 17 would work?

Good news for fans of AFC East teams in here, the Chiefs would play the Packers and we'd play the Seahawks. Awesome...

Yeah our Run D has been a concern But I am really confident given how hot we are going into the Playoffs and generally Allen is really good at dealing with defensive pressure especially rolling out to the right the only question mark is Beasley's health if not fit I imagine we will be activating Stills to replace him.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Doug Marrone is gone from the Jags but Zac Taylor is returning for the Bengals personally I would of got rid of Taylor as well

 

[pride_of_notts]

Anthony Lynn is gone as well to me the Chargers is the most attractive job that is available don't think it will take much work to turn around a lot of the important pieces seem to be there.

Also looks like the Broncos have moved Elway upstairs which makes sense given how poorly they have drafted in recent years.

The NFL have ripped off that Play Offs prediction game I did on here last year so I've set up a TFF league if anyone wants to join. Predict all the way to the SB and can change your picks for any you get wrong. More points for getting them right from the off though. Sounds familiar doesn't it. Link to join the TFF league is here.

Jonathan Taylor running behind that O-Line is a problem for anyone. Every time I see Phil drop back to throw though it looks a pick waiting to happen.
