The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

Oh nice. Extra time and Dallas are on fourth down one yard from first dow, around the 20 something yard line and they go for it an get it..good work Dallas. American football is one of the best sports to watch at the end of games.

Dallas wins.. bit of luck there... deflected on a phillidelphia player and cowboy catches it gets touchdown and therefore wins, seems a crap eat to end overtime and very dependent on a coin toss but wotever... Philadelphia seem better than their record suggests

Didn't get to see the whole game..... only knew it was 6-0 at halftime. As long as the NY Giants don't win, I don't really have a favorite in that division. I used to be a Cowboy hater, but that was back when they used to call themselves America's Team.

I am sympathetic to the cowboys as the old git who owns them does really seem to love them and im not north american so as long as I have been here they seem to always be a bit crap :S.... especially poor old Romo. I do not have a favourite nfl team, I just find it a good sport to watch once the meaningfull games start.. nfl playoffs contain so many amazing moments regularly that I think it actually might be fixed.

Chicago v saint Louis rams now.. now work for me tomorrow. So me drunk

Yes...... I missed some good boxing during my recent week and a half trip to Denver, but.............................

I caught the Broncos - Browns game................... LIVE.

I was cold, but it was good. Great crowd..... great game..... great seat. It was my 2nd Broncos game. Last year I was in Denver also and caught the Broncos - Jets.

Been overdosing on the NFL Wild Card playoffs this weekend. So far 3 out of the 4 games have concluded.



Indianapolis Colts 21, Houston Texans 7 - Must admit being surprised by this one. I thought with Deshaun Watson and Houston's D-line they would win at home. But Luck played great and Indy's defense is underrated, IMO.

Dallas Cowboys 22, Seattle Seahawks 20 - Typically not a Cowboys fan, but I don't hate them as much as I used to. Still... I don't think the 'Boys advance too far from here.

Los Angeles Chargers 23, Baltimore Ravens 17 - I REALLY didn't want the Ravens to win, and the damn Chargers almost coughed up a 23-3 lead in the 4th quarter. Would've been an epic meltdown.

Right now the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles are locked in a defensive struggle.

Ok ok..................... I know you're all sitting on pins and needles.

Well, the Eagles pulled it off, upsetting the Bears 16-15 in Chicago. So much for the NFL's top-rated defense. Which means the schedule for the Divisional Championships is set.

Next Saturday:

Indianapolis Colts at the Kansas City Chiefs - I could be wrong, and I'm a pretty lousy NFL game prognosticator, but I think the Colts' luck (pardon the pun) runs out on this one. The Chiefs are probably Super Bowl bound.... they're that good.

Dallas Cowboys at the Los Angeles Rams - Well I already said the Cowboys wouldn't go beyond the next round, and I'm sticking to it. I think the Rams win comfortably.

Next Sunday:

Los Angeles Chargers at the New England Patriots - Tom Brady's getting old.... and NE isn't the dominating juggernaut it used to be. Still, it's hard to pick against them in New England. The Patriots win in a squeaker.

Philadelphia Eagles at the New Orleans Saints - I know the Eagles just beat the mighty Bears, but Trubisky is no Drew Brees. This one is tough to call, but I think the Saints take it in front of their home fans.
