The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

Lovely catch from the Chicago bears guy with the last play of the game, they still lost by 12 but a nice a way to lose as it gets maybe :S.... New Orleans maybe would have liked to have had a wider win but after the tight first half they pulled away pretty good...

What's next cleavage browns v Pittsburgh....

Mon the browns I guess... Woof woof woof... Or whatever they do

That was definitely a little shaky for the Saints. Brees says it's his last year and Taysom Hill has proven to be a great multi tasker but unreliable in the pocket. Going to be an all out scrap v the Bucs and Brady next out.

We'll be on opposite sides on this one, bro.

It'll be historic, though.

Gotta be the first playoff game with a combined age of 84 going on 85 in a few days.

Going to be tough. But really want this for Brees. 2010 feels like 100 years ago and he's given everything to this team and City. Sucks though because no matter who takes it they'll be that big ugly fat asterisk of *Covid season . Enjoy it while we can.

Cleveland are giving Pittsburgh a bit of a thrashing 28-0 after the first quarter

No one could've predicted this. If I was a cartoonist, the image that comes to mind is the Titanic (Steelers) sinking after they crashed into the iceberg (Browns).

I'm in shock.

On the other hand, seeing the Bills and Browns (most likely) advancing is a bit heartwarming, given the losing nature of these two NFL cities.

35-16 now with a lot of time left, this might have a fun ending...

Wow... Pittsburgh is mounting a furious comeback. I can't believe Cleveland will just roll over for it... but yeah... this could get interesting pretty quick.

The browns brought it back, good drives there, that should be it after the field goal.. You just can't give up four touch downs in the first quarter and win.. I didn't see titans v ravens but this is the game of the day for me... Out of a choice of two :S.....

My team is now out of it... and the Divisional Playoffs are set.


Browns at Kansas City: I got no dog in this fight... but what the hell. The Browns eliminated my Steelers and it's their first playoff win since the Stone Ages... so I wouldn't mind them going a bit further. Rooting for the underdogs on this one.

Buccaneers at Saints: Rooting like for the Buccaneers. Anything that will cement Tom Brady's legacy as the GOAT is just fine by me. Nothing against the Saints, as I like Drew Brees also... but GO BUCS!!!

Rams at Packers: Again... no dog in this fight. Rodgers is a good guy and an ATG in his own right. So if he wins... great. If the underdog Rams should happen to win (I doubt it)... great.

Ravens at Buffalo: Oh man... C'MON BILLS!!! Not only do I sympathize with their "Cleveland-like" playoff drought... but I absolutely DESPISE the Ravens. Rooting hard for the Bills.
