The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

I'll be happy if the Steelers finish at .500 or just above.
But.....

Ben Roethlisberger is about 500 years old in NFL years.
The defense resembles a torn sieve.
The running game couldn't gain 100 yards breaking out of a wet paper bag.



The recent Steelers may well have been a "puttering around to a 9-7 season" kind of team.

But this is a proud franchise with a winning tradition... and seasons like this one hurt Pittsburgh more than it would hurt say... a Detroit, for instance.

Former Steeler, now sports analyst Ryan Clark pretty much said as much in ESPN over the last few days. These aren't your "usual" Steelers.

Can I blame Rodgers failure due to taking ivermectin? JK!!!!!

13-10 Wow, How does one of the most profficient QB's in the history of the game, choke so bad in playoffs? One SB win in his 1st major year and jack nada since.

Playoff run vs 49ers Rodger is 0-4 I guess they can say I OWN YOU!

Well Rams-Bucs should be a good one. Bills-Chiefs I havent seen much of either team as well as Bengals who won.

Rodgers loses on the final play via botched special teams followed up by a field goal. I'm rooting for Brady now that my #1 fizzled out...again.

Well i SP ke too soon, extra time on the way, LA bet on the over for fumbles i think.


And again i speak too soon la get a good pass for a long gain and spike the ball with 4 seconds left and surely can't miss this field goal, they're not green bay after all....and he does it, fun ending

Close game alert, pitch invader dressed in red disturbs the game at the two minute warning in kansas... 4th and 13 for buffalo who were 5 down and old buffalo bill goes and gets a touchdown..then the gits go for the 3 points and it's looking unlikely and the quarter back git makes the pass..so buffalo 3 up with 1.54 left..everyone has three timeouts left.

Bloody ell, great ending to the game, I'm no NFL expert so either Great attacking or terrible defending or both :S... Kansas go up and scorea td on the first drive with a 60 yarder leaving a minute left then buffalo go and score a TD right back leaving 13 seconds :S Kansas go and score the field goal with 3 seconds left and off to extra time we go. Wild ending, Kansas score the TD in extra time so game over, seems a bit unfair that buffalo didn't get the chance to answer that but they just couldn't stop Kansas on three drives.

I think we just witnessed one of the greatest NFL playoff weekends ever! All games down to the last minute.

I was rooting for Brady myself... but man, he just had too many obstacles to overcome. Minus two of his best receivers. O-line banged up. It didn't help that the Rams have probably the most ferocious D-line in football, what between Aaron Donald and Von Miller. I was shocked that Brady was able to engineer a comeback from being down 27-3. But then, that's Brady for you.

In the Wild Card weekend I got all my predictions right. THIS weekend I crashed and burned.

For next weekend I've got the Rams and the Chiefs. Felt bad for Josh Allen, man. That guy played well enough to win... but Patrick Mahomes was on the other side, so...
