    I agree. Kirk Cousins has been playing better than Rodgers as of late. Redskins are kinda like the Steelers of the NFC- getting hot at the right time.

    Ah come on now lads. The Redskins have done very well to make the playoffs but it's a stretch to start thinking they'd "easily handle" a team like the Packers in a playoff game.

    Sure, they'll have home field advantage, but look at things a bit deeper. The Redskins have won 6 games at home this season. All 6 of those wins have come against teams that are less than .500. Not one has had a winning record. They've actually only played 3 teams that are over .500 this season and lost them all, losing by at least 14 points in each of those 3 games. Sure, they did what they had to and got into the playoffs, but they are in the 2nd worst division in the entire league which needs to be considered too.

    Fair play to them, they proved myself and a hell of a lot of others extremely wrong just by winning more than 3 or 4 games, never mind making the playoffs, but beating the Packers, Seahawks or even Vikings in a playoff game will be another matter entirely.

    :eek:

    22/1 for a winning margin of 30+ if you fancy it mate. That'll be Christmas and the summer holiday paid for I'd imagine! :eek:

    Oh come on pat, for a packers fan, your fierce pessimistic, we are one of 3 teams in the nfc to have 10 wins, in the 3 of 4 losses, we had a chance to win or bring the game to OT on the final play, yes tonight will be tough considering we are missing Shields but to say they will put 30+ on us is laughable.

    Antonio Brown is amazing. What a superb player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Marcus Peters with another INT. I had him pegged as the best CB in the draft but didn't expect him to be this good, this quickly.

    They're hardly lucky to be in a poor division. The NFC North is no worse than an average division. They're 7-2 in non divisional games. They've not impressed recently but lots of great teams go through rough patches and they've improved in both of their last 2 games.

    Not much to love about the 49ers this season, but Frank Gore is now less than 50 yards away from a career total 12,000 rushing yards.

    Some hit taken by Johnny Football there.

    Texans winning 17-0 @ Titans.

    Colts winning at Dolphins.

    Colts and Texans going through plenty of QBs this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,123 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Revis Island strikes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    A selection of the QB's currently in the playoffs as things stand: AJ McCarron, Brock Osweiler, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Weeden and Kirk Cousins. :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Few interesting scores out there at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Jets are going to throw this away. It'd really make the AFC wildcard race interesting if they could get the win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    Julio Jones unbelievable

    Thought there was a chance of this, division rival playing at home who would be pissed about the 38-0 hammering just two weeks ago. I'm torn, really want the Panthers to go 16-0, but not being able to make that 325/1 bet would haunt me for a long, long time. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,248 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    Panthers got an intercept.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,534 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Oh, what's that, Bolden rushing for no gain? Shocked I am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,534 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Oh nice, another O-line player hurt. Just need one more to hit our league mandated number of injuries per game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,534 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Get Brady off the field, **** this O-line. A bunch of cardboard cut-outs would offer more protection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    The Ravens can't even lose properly. :rolleyes:

    Pats 1 of 9 on 3rd down. If they stop running every dawn but 3rd we might get somewhere horrible playcalling.
