what a comeback!

A fantastic second half performance which is slightly over shadowed by the hilarious Cowboys collapse. there is no way you should allow a back up QB to light you up like that and to bottle it by passing instead of running is ridiculous.

We need help to get in but if we can then with Rodgers and Cobb beck we will be a dangerous team. Our defence needs to play for more than just a half but there would be no fear playing anywhere. Rodgers can match anybody in a shootout.

Told you. Don't know what you said to your guys, but you absolutely battered me. I've still got about 3-4 people to play but there is no way I'll be able to claw that big a margin back.

Still, one game away from the Championship game in my debut season, I'm pretty proud of that! Good luck in the bowl game mate.

Pretty enjoyable game for the Rams against New Orleans last night and we beat them for the 2nd time in 3 years with a backup Quarterback.

Looks like I'm heading out of the consolation playoff unless Ray Rice can have a monster 32+ point game tonight. Not holding out any hope as he's been awful this year and basically ruined my season as he was my 1st pick.

Really annoying that my other fantasy team which was on a 9-game winning streak lost out in the playoffs. I scored 118 points but my opponent, who had Gronkowski and Welker in their team scoring 0 and a Broncos defense which scored 2 points, has me beat by 4 points with a kicker to come, mostly thanks to a ridiculous 84 combined points from Jamaal Charles and Nick Foles.

Guess which team will win the SUPERBOWL?

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Tue Dec 17, 2013 9:44 pm  

Seattle.

Me vs Conroy in the fantasy bowl final. Good luck pal. Hopefully il talk the big W in my rookie season. Would be very nice.

Green Bay Packers or New England Patriots.

Hard to see past Seattle in the NFC but I'll be a homer and pick GB. i would like a visit up there and I reckon we could turn them over.

AFC is simple I think. I don't trust Denver and the other teams will falter. NE by default. Not long ago I would have gone Indy but they have fallen of a cliff.

I'm in final of the loser bowl. The final looks a great match up, got to give a huge amount of credit to Conroy for staying relevant despite losing Rodgers, although he was helped massively by Foster, White & Amendola being out for 3/4 of the season for me and me losing 5 straight in the NFC east equivalent. I'm gonna go with Conroy's experience.

Would really like Seattle to get there and win it, but get the feeling it will be a 49er's-Broncos Superbowl

There's being a homer and there's being delusional!

As long as Seattle, San Francisco or New England don't win the Super Bowl, I'll be happy.

We've already beaten Russel Wilson at Seattle...we were just robbed of the victory by the replacements refs.

Don't get me wrong it would be extremely tough. Seattle have an excellent defence but Rodgers is one of the few QB's who could spread them out and keep them like that with the no huddle and make no mistakes. With Lacy providing some agression up the middle i'd like our chances.

The question would be could we stop Lynch.

However to get to that we would have to beat San Francisco or Carolina at home and we always seem to struggle with running QB's - ie we never seem to have a man "spying" them so they can just break out for big yardage.

We shouldn't really go too far in the play-offs IMO, just too many mistakes and a top team will (or should) make light work of us.

Having said that the way we are finding ways to keep ourselves in games and win the majority of them is a little reminiscent of the early 2000's(not pretty but getting the job done) and it would be ironic if we did something when no one really expects it unlike other years when we have had better offensive weapons.

Denver v Seattle should be the SB if everything goes to form but we all know that never happens. Can see them both getting knocked out in their 1st games even with homefield advantage.
