The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

This Bowl game seems unlikely to go so close.

Top four seeds knocked out in the College quarter finals.

Good that there's now playoffs after all those years after the championship being awarded on the basis of a vote

Absolutely. Now they need a proper fixture list with promotion and relegation.

NFL-wise, I'm not sure that would be great news for your Bears or my Raiders

You don't need it with 32 teams, playing a fairly sensible and fair schedule. You do with 134 teams getting, largely, to choose their opponents, though.

Having said that, Bears in Division Three might be alright. Maybe we'd even win some games and have a chance of glory in whatever the American equivalent of the LDV Vans Cup would be. The Winnebago Cup?

Wasn't thrilled by the scheduling. Ravens win over Browns made Steelers game pretty meaningless for the Steelers.

Would have been better the other way round.

Think Bengals can still make the Playoffs though.

Hope for the Ravens sake, that Zay Flowers isn't badly injured.

Steelers falling backwards into the playoffs. Expect another first round exit, probably to the Ravens.

So Chiefs are allowed to rest players allowing the Broncos an easy ride into the play offs, that’s fair and ok?

It's not ideal but you can't predict these sort of things ahead of time. Them's the breaks. Also, I can still see the Broncos fucking it up.

I wonder how many Packers QBs we would have to injure to find one we could beat.

I'm excited to see how we lose this one.

Here we go...

Fumble under the tinest amount of pressure to gift the winning points to Green Bay was the answer.

Green Bay must pay the Bears a lump sum per year for all these gifts. I mean, they just must do.
