The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Bears next opponents are Eagles if they win, or Rams if they don't.

That wasn't quite as improbable as the last Bears win v the Packers but not far off.

Panthers Rams was a decent watch before that too although I'd have preferred the Panthers to win.

So nice to inflict more pain on Green Bay when they've spent decades doing it to us.

I watched the game and I never saw that comeback coming, Bears were utterly dreadful in the first half, in all aspects. Luckily the defense stepped up second half and then eventually the offense. Can't keep leaving it so late though, surely.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Special Teams has brrn much better, but worse on Offence and Defence.

Clear we make adjustments at halftime, which suggests good coaching.

[Meanwood Villa]

Wanted the Jags to win earlier, it ended up similar to the Panthers last night. Couldn't stop the touchdown when four points ahead and then ballsed up getting into FG territory with not much time left.

Watched the highlights on youtube, both teams bounced between great plays and clown football.

[AV82EC]

Ah well, from where the Jags were at the back end of last season to develop this quickly is a real credit to the new coaching team.

[ADVILLAFAN]

A lot of nice play designs by the Jags. Wasn't Lawrence's greatest game.

Josh Allen always seems to sack Josh Allen.

Went to bed at HT in Eagles 49ers. I'd have put Eagles as favourites at that point. Playoff 49ers always go deep though. Pats Chargers looks a snoozefest from the score. I don't think there's clear favourites in either conference really. Not convinced by either of the 1 seeds.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think Coaching was the difference in 49ers game. Shanahan and Salah are very good. Less convinced by Surianni and their Off Co is pish.

[Rotterdam]

I was a bit surprised at our Niners win, especially after losing Kittle.
I don't fancy us v Seahawks.

Bears game was madness...

[ADVILLAFAN]

Apparently we won 3 games against Green Bay in a decade. Now we've won 3 of the last 4 meetings.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Oh dear, poor Aaron.
