I know it's the rules, but the catch rule is a joke. If he's a runner that's a TD all the way because he broke the plane. Because he caught it first and then stretched out and the ball moves slightly as he hits the ground it is ruled an incomplete pass. They need to simplify that rule. He caught the ball had it under control and then turned and stretched, it everywhere else except the NFL's complicated rule book, that's a TD. What a sickener for the Steelers!

A lot of debate across social media this morning about whether or not it was a touchdown. I was personally surprised to see it being overturned as an incomplete pass. I understand he's lost control by the time he comes down on the ball, but both hands were on the ball in the end zone...to me, that screams TD - if he'd been a RB, it was a TD.

The last-gasp interception was reminiscent of THAT call in Super Bowl 49 - I struggled to sleep for a while after it.

There are rulebooks you can read online you know, if a receiver and a defender catch a ball simultaneously, the offense gets the benefit, so it was a c-a-t-c-h. :greengrin Anyway, even if win our last two we likely won't get a wild card so that's the season over, and the salary cap situation means most of the big names will move on. That wasn't a normal defeat, it feels much bigger than that.

I'll be cheering on the Bills and the Eagles in the playoffs.

[McD]

Has anyone else seen the Clay Mathews / Cam Newton stuff from the weekend?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xKnEgrrjzh0

Mathews thinks he’s picked up what the play will be, and is calling it out to his teammates. Cam stops, acknowledges the pick up on Mathews part, says well done (in essence) on watching footage of the Panthers plays, then says ‘that’s cool, Watch this’ with a big grin on his face, then throws a TD on a totally different play.

Really cool watching 2 players acknowledge the skill and effort in each other, in a playful manner, without it turning into something negative 😊

[DarrenSQH]

HUGE game sunday. We need to win to have any hope of the Division.

Most hated rivals, 2 weeks after we got cheated out of beating them, in th Dome, on xmas eve and with the Playoffs at stake.

Doesnt really get any more exciting than that.

Delighted we got 6 guys to the probowl but still hopinh they play the week after in Minnesota.

I'm pleased to see the Jets have extended their head coach and GM's contracts after this season.

I don't mean that facetiously either, as despite their record, it looks like they're starting to find some of the pieces in New York.

A competitive AFC East is desperately needed - the Bills have looked good in spells this year, and the Dolphins have been unlucky with a lot of injuries. The Jets have been a work in progress this year and have occasionally looked abysmal, but there's one or two players there that a team could be built around and the head coach appears to have done a reasonable job hitting the reset button.

[hibsbollah]

Tyler Lockett takes it to the house from the kickoff!!
Clink is loud tonight, c'mon the Panthers as well.

[Pretty Boy]

David Fales starts at QB for Miami tonight. Had read he had been going through the reps in practice this week and with Cutler away after tonight and Matt Moore likely to be cut it looks like they are seeing if he is a viable option as back up to Ryan Tannehill. Personally I still think we will draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd round though.

[hibsbollah]

Absolutely stinking first half performance from a team about to be broken up. Russell would have to be superhuman to rescue this game.

[Gatecrasher]

Now that stinker of a season is over I can't wait for the Rose Bowl tomorrow.

[Gatecrasher]

Anyone see that UCF v Auburn game? One of the best this year imo. Now for the Rose Bowl! :thumbsup:

I still love the stealth bomber as a fly over

[HibernianJK]

Crazy game in the Rose Bowl followed by a less entertaining Sugar Bowl.

[DarrenSQH]

I land in Mexico hopefully an hour before the Saints Playoff game starts. Hopefully I make it in time to watch.

[Sergio sledge]

The first two wildcard games didn't disappoint! I was struggling to see past two home wins, but both the road teams came away with victories. Mariota catching his own pass for a TD was a crazy play!

Falcons play the eagles next in Philly and even though it is outside in the cold, I really can't see our offense without Wentz keeping pace with the Falcons offense.

Today it is the Bills Vs Jags and Panthers Vs Saints. Haha should beat the Bills, but the Panthers Vs Saints should be a cracker, hopefully MVP Cam turns up and we get a shootout!

[hibsbollah]

I didn't watch either game but it sounds like one of my favourite players, massive RB Derrick Henry had a big game for the Titans, who will be continue to be the underdogs. Glad to see the back of the Kansas city bores. Falcons beating Rams a minor surprise.

:agree: when I was growing up, the Seahawks made the playoffs 4 times in 20 years. It was a major event those few and far between seasons they had a run and I'd be glued to the screen. In recent years we've been in the playoffs every year, five in a row IIRC, usually along with the Packers. You just take it for granted. So it's really strange seeing other teams battle it out. Looking like an end of an era.

Belushis on Market Street shows all NFL games. It's attached to a hostel so it's offerings reflect that. Golf Tavern at Bruntsfield used to, not sure about now. Peartree by the uni also shows and there's usually a few guys from the uni football teams there.

I'd recommend Footlights on Spittal Street though. Decent food, beers not bad, big screens, usually a good atmosphere and they can show up to 3 events at a time so there's rarely any moaning. Usuallg a big German contingent in as they show a lot of Bundesliga.

Sounds like I missed a good second half between the Vikings and Saints. I cant stay up to the wee hours when I have work on a Monday.

I have zero confidence that Foles will have enough to overcome the Vikings D. I think that we have a chance in keeping the score low, as our D is pretty good too, and then anything can happen.

We've been better than the Vikings at getting turnovers this season and that could be key. If Foles doesn't throw any interceptions and Ajayi and Blount can keep hold of the ball then we've got a good chance of forcing interceptions or fumbles from the Vikings and in a low scoring game that would be crucial.

[Gatecrasher]

Hopefully their QB has a nightmare then. I was routing for the Eagles but I just cant see it without Wentz.

[hibsbollah]

Hopefully their QB has a nightmare then. I was routing for the Eagles but I just cant see it without Wentz.

I like it to be a low scoring battle in the trenches, I can see the Eagles o line being good enough to establish a running game, 17-14 or something. Big game for Ajayi. But you're right, Foles is unlikely to get much through the air.

[Sylar]

It absolutely wouldn't surprise me - they played superbly well yesterday, and we tend to allow big yardage plays too frequently.

If Jacksonville beat us, I'll be rooting on them in the Super Bowl. As nice it would be to see us win a 6th Super Bowl, I've no problem whatsoever watching a team that's never win it before get some success.

Pleased with the win - hopefully Church sees a ban for his helmet hit on Gronk. Looked mightily pleased with himself afterwards too.

No doubt my mate will be back to being an Eagles fan for the Superbowl :rolleyes:

My takeaways last night weren't great - our OL allowed them to get to Brady far too often, and Philly have a superb pass rush. Our pass defense was, again, abysmal at times, and Foles likes to throw deep.

I'm surprised to see the Eagles being touted as the underdogs early doors. I reckon they win their first championship this year.

[hibsbollah]

Amazing performance from the Eagles, NFC Champions (that sounds strange...)

I predicted both results correctly but not the way they happened, watched the highlights and Foles was unbelievable in the pocket, such patience, sounds like the fans were supernoisy, that interception return TD was fantastic, and the defensive line looks frightening. I never thought they could pass it against that Vikings D but I was totally wrong. And with Blount and Ajayi making big plays from the backfield they have a balanced attack as well.

Really hoping they actually win it this time, and they have the ability to do it, but the Patriots are still the best in the big games and the smart money has to go on them. I think it'll be another nailbiter, Patriots by 3.

NFC CHAMPS! I did not expect that from Nick Foles, he seems to be coming into form just at the right time!

The two turnovers were crucial, if we can get that sort of pressure on Brady then anything can happen.

I.cannot.wait! Was gutted in 2005, it is time for revenge!

[lugz]

What an amazing season, we've been kicked several times throughout the season, wrote of constantly but here we are in the SB. To be the best you got to beat the best right?

I think the SB will be intriguing, the eagles have the potential to make it a hellish night for brady but him and bill always seem to find a way. I'm nervous already and it's still almost 2 weeks away.

One of our major problems this year has been how much our offensive line lets through to Brady - our pass protection isn't great, and your pass rush is incredibly effective.

I reckon you've more than the capability to make it a torrid night for Brady - to beat us though, I do think Foles and his passing game will need to be on point, because we've dealt with far better running backs this year than Blount (who we know very well) and Ajayi.

Yeah it's going to be hard to win and that's why we're both here. Both teams have a lot going for them, I have no idea how it'll work out i'm just praying he find a way to win.

Its kind of away from the main event but...do any of the patriots fans know whats up with the surface on gilette field? Whenever theres a collision or a player falls to the turf it seems like a whole load of black pellets fly up in the air. Almost like the cheap black pelleted astroturf they used to have on old 5 a side pitches. Ive never seen this in any other nfl stadium.

[Sylar]

It's FieldTurf, which is one of the most advanced all-weather surfaces around as far as I'm aware?

It was installed in the off-season last year (at quite a premium) and has been instrumental in games going ahead (both for the Patriots and Revolution).

I've seen that at other NFL grounds. Its the black pellets they have on the field turf pitches. Most synthetic puithes in the US are field turf and I think there are a few here as well in this country like Cardiff blues rugby and Saracens.

When I was living and working down in Guildford, I used to play weekly on the Surrey Sport Park pitches (where Harlequins train, and where some of the visiting NFL teams train pre-Wembley games) - that's the same surface, and it's a dream to play on. Cost the University of Surrey £18 million to build the full Sport Park though, and they didn't scrimp on the surfaces.

Yup, the thing about standing for the national anthem and not signing players with criminal records sounds fine on the surface but it doesn't take much of a leap to see that the people most impacted by those two policies will be black players.

"Wooooooo the pro bowl!" Said no one. Ever.

It definitely suffered from being moved to the week before the superbowl. Makes no sense (except from a TV money perspective). It always used to be after the superbowl which meant Eagles and Pats players could play without being worried about injuring themselves and it shortened the offseason wait a bit. A lot of the players seemed to be running at half pace from the highlights i saw.

I watched some of it with my kids, they loved the idea of it and spent half the game discussing who would get in if we did a pro-bowl for the SPFL Premiership.

It wasn't a very watchable game and the commentary team didn't make it any better so we quickly lost interest.

When NFL players get paid by the game and lose a lot of money if they miss games injured they are never going to try too hard in a game like this as they could miss the start of next season if they got a serious injury now. There is no real way around that. I think they were trying harder in the Dodgeball game they had earlier in the week...

I 100% understand why they don't bother putting any effort into the game. No benefit to any injury whatsoever just now.

I used to say it didn't work the same way as the MLB All Star game, as that used to determine home field advantage etc - but that's a pretty stupid comparison on my part, as obviously the MLB is low-impact, non-contact.

IMO, they should just bin it altogether. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it ends up being played in London one year. They'll (rightly) never take the Superbowl out of the US, but the ProBowl is just an end-of-season exhibition/holiday for the players.

Yeah, that might be a possibility, however I can't see the players enjoying London in January as much as Hawaii where it normally is.

It is a pretty cool idea in theory, but it just doesn't seem to work, so I'd probably bin it.

The Barbarians are about as close as we get in British Sport, but even they have lost a lot of their attraction. In days gone by it was current full internationals lining up for the Barbarians, but now it is youngsters and older guys who won't play international rugby again for the most part.

So who are we all taking for the Superbowl?

Personally, as much as I'd LIKE to see us win it, I think us having the favourite tag is a total nonsense. This Philly team have been excellent all year, and have one superbly talented defense that will get to Brady in this game. Our defense have given up big yards all year, and Foles proved since taking over from Wentz that he's capable of making big plays and throwing the deep ball.

I reckon Eagles by 10-14 points.

[Gatecrasher]

I can see why the Pats are favourites, it will be nothing to do with the form and more to do with their recent superbowl record. I want the Eagles to win mainly as a thanks for putting the Vikings back in their place but also that we cant have the same team winning it every year.

Not a chance. If anyone has grounds to be confident about your teams chances it is Pats fans, yet you are always quite negative about them, I don't know whether you are trying to convince us or yourself that the Eagles should be the favourites.... :greengrin Brady and Belichick haven't reached 8 Superbowls and won 5 of them for no reason, the are rightly the favourites.

We have a back-up QB who (apart from last week) has looked decidedly dodgy since he came in. We have a defence which has been great against the run but below average against the pass (yards per game), and we're coming up against the GOAT and a passing offense which is 2nd in the league (yards per game) and best in scoring efficiency.

I'm not optimistic. Would absolutely love it if we won, but its the Pats, even if we are winning, no matter the score going into the fourth quarter, I won't be confident about winning it until the clock ticks round to 0:00.

History is no basis for form though - we've reached the Superbowl this year in the face of limited competiton from the rest of the AFC this year, and I don't say that to be a dick to the other AFC teams that aren't here. The NFC teams have generally looked stronger this year, and you've disposed of much better teams than us along the way. I don't disagree, Brady and Belichick know how to get things done, but we've had a lot of gaps on all three phases of the football this year.

Your defense has one of the best pass rushes in the league, and we're completely abject when people get to Brady - we have an elite passer of the ball, some excellent receivers, but the line that protects Brady worries me, and has worried me all year. In the games we've lost, it's when we've come up against defensive lines that can get through to him.

Eagles have been the number 1 seed on the basis of this year since the word 'Go'. Your defense embarassed the Vikings 2 weeks ago, who had been pretty lethal up until that point (though granted, Keenum is far from elite) - you're still the number 1 seed in my eyes, and even with a 5 time winning coach/QB combo, I think this'll be tough.

To be honest this is a funny one for me personally. One of my closest friends was a eagles fan and sadly passed away a few years ago at 33 years of age. We spent many a drunken pub argument on football and we always agreed that if the Patriots and Eagles ever made the super bowl again that we'd go together.

Sadly that won't be happening.

I still want my Patriots to win the game but I'll be glad to see the Eagles win it for my mate.
