The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

Poor old bears kicker.... that's half bad luck and half a bungle. ... he made it first time but phillidelphia used the old late timeout trick on him and he buggered the second a tempt. ...feel bad for him, missing a kick like that right at yhe end could finish his career. Eagles have some good stuff but I think foles will be their undoing lightning isn't striking twice here and new Orleans should be able to out score them....even though eagles have a good defence...

What the dickens were the Seattle defence thinking too.. they gave away two bad pass interefence penalties on consecutive 3rd downs.... Seattle of a few years ago would never do that... good fortune for Dallas and eagles but I concur i think both are out next round....

I only watched the two later games, too early for me on west coast time to see the first games on Saturday and Sunday.

Momentum is a funny thing (and key in us sport playoffs) so I wouldn't be surprised if a eagles team on a high catches a snoozing new Orleans team.

Wild card teams that come into the playoffs scratching and clawing (and peaking) many times make the most dangerous of opponents. Right now the Chargers (although they had a good enough record to have been division leaders, except for the KC Chiefs) and the Eagles fit that narrative. Of the 4 visiting teams next week, I think those 2 could surprise, although the Colts seem pretty hot too. I think only the Rams-Cowboys game is a done deal.
