I know tough break but Shanahan is so smart and Purdy has been tremendous. I do believe this will be very tough for them, if Darnold implodes they win if not Hawks

Agreed that Seattle lives and dies based on Darnold but I think the Seahawks will pull it off. Broncos will win as the Bills dont have the firepower and there's only so much josh Allen can do. I want the Rams to win but they will need 30 points or more and that is a hard place to score. I do think the Pats will win but it will be a low scoring game.

Beginning to think Bills may have a shot if Denver offense gets off to a slow start. With bad weather in Bear country that game now becomes a toss up.

Ok. I feel bad for whoever has to visit the Seahawks next week for the NFC championship game. I was not expecting that bitt whooping last night.

The Bills Broncos game was a fun watch. I hate that there were some questionable calls though and the game imploded at the end for the Bills with pass interference penalties. I personally believe that Brandin Cooks caught that ball and was down by contact but the "survive the ground" process of the catch wasn't met according to the rules. I dont know what the NFL could do about it but I feel like that part of the rule just isn't quite right.

Oh and Bo Nix is out with a broken ankle. If the Broncos defense steps up they have a chance but this really opens things up for whoever visits Denver next week.

Agreed on Cooks. That dude had the catch with control and made ground contact. It wasn't until after I would consider him to be "down" that the ball was pulled out of his grip. That's when it all fell apart for the Bills - emotionally. They lost their discipline after that and were making unprofessional mistakes.

Heck of a game, though. I didn't turn it on until the 4th, but had a blast watching the finish. Real shame on Nix.

What an amazing 2nd half. Josh played his worst playoff game feel bad for him. The Bills played so inept in the first half plus five turnovers overall they were almost able to overcome. If Josh hit his tight end properly at the end of the game they win it. I think the Broncos are in trouble without Bo.
I have a lot of respect for the coach of the Seahawks having his team play their best when it matters most. They have a fierce defense and enough on offense to be dangerous.

Yeah, think whoever wins AFC game today can beat Denver. Bills pretty much shredded their D and without Nix.....
Even weather aside I think Rams score 30+ today. Highest scoring team in the league and Bears D is average at best. Rams defense isn't great but their secondary seems a bit suspect. So even if Bears get behind and can't run the ball, they still have a shot at scoring. Think Rams by 10+.

Bears tie it up with an insane play with seconds on the clock. :bulge:

Ah well, they lost by a FG in OT.

That tying TD was blatant offensive pass interference. DB was propelled like 3 yds in the other direction. But whatever.....Bears D was much better than I thought. But it was like Rams played not to lose? Not trying to get a first down with 2 minutes left in the game? Just ran 3 times and punted.
IDK, based on this weekend, Seattle gonna pound whoever thay play.

:happyanim:I was perfect with my picks this week doesn’t happen often. It’s hard to believe how many turnovers there were in all these games. The throw by Williams last was stunning truly one of the best I’ve seen in years but then he throws a pick in OT.
01-19-2026
I like what I see in Drake Maye.. Accuracy (few interceptions here and there) and arm strength.. But man he needs to hold onto the ball better... That was a messy game.. weather asside.. Not much offense other than Boutte's td catch. Guess what they say about Texans "D" is true. They look good.

Breaking news.. Bills fire the coach

Yeah I thought some of McVay's game management decisions weren't the best. They should have thrown the ball to try and get a first down right around the minute warning. Then didnt they have 2 timeouts left and 15 seconds in the 4th quarter after the crazy Bears TD? They kneeled and ran the clock.

The Rams will need to play a perfect game in Seattle to stand a chance. Or maybe their defense can make Darnold see ghosts from last year when he lost twice to them.

I’m leaning toward the Hawks better defense and they are home. Staford is going to need to play at a really high level. Bo Nix being out is a real problem for the Broncos. I think its the Pats in a very tight game.. let’s see how Maye does against that defense on the road

Patriots VS ? Super Bowl 60
01-26-2026
The last time the Patriots played the Seahawks in the SB was 2015. Wifey was at a conference in Chicago and out to a dinner with some of her friends. I was watching the game at the hotel bar. There was a nasty snowstorm that night. I was definitely the only Pats fan in the bar. When Malcolm Butler intercepted that pass with seconds to go, I cheered and everyone in the bar looked at me in less than friendly ways. :D
01-26-2026
That was a great game. I hope the rematch is a great game as well. We shall see if the Patriots can do it again.
01-26-2026
Vrabel really out coached Payton in this game he’s impressive. The Hawks Rams game was superb really enjoyed it. Darnold had one bad throw and other than that was really good. The Super Bowl should be good two good defenses. The QB that steps up will win it.
01-26-2026
Just saw this stat on ESPN. Both Pats and Seahawks were both 60-1 odds of winning the Superbowl.. and 25-1 odds of winning their conference.. any lucky gamblers out there??
01-26-2026
Im very happy for Sam Darnold! The Vikes didnt need him with McCarthy waiting in the wings.......ok, I will stop being bitter.

Im excited for SB 60. Should be a good game with 2 great teams.
01-26-2026
I can’t believe Hawks were 60 to 1. This should be an interesting game two well coached teams but I’m leaning slightly toward the Hawks. Their wide receiver is an explosive athlete and their defense is good although Stanford torched them.

Seattle couldn't kick a final field goal to put it at a touchdown (and win me $220 in a pool) :mad0260::mad0260::mad0260:
