Detroit are beating themselves here.

Superb play-action pass from Rodgers.

21-0

[Sylar]

ANOTHER pick from Stafford. Good take from Woodson, but Stafford has been woeful!

[Gatecrasher]

24-0

i'm surprised how poor the lions have been, when i have seen them they have been pretty lethal. That is good though because the Packers only just started playing in the 3rd Quarter

[Sylar]

Green Bay 24-0 Detroit

Expected this to be a LOT closer.

Detroit pull one back and get the 2 point conversion.

And after stopping the Packers, then go 3 and out and punt it away.

Frustrating Lions tonight, though being hampered somewhat by injuries!

Then the Packers kill the game with a time consuming drive.

27-8

[Sylar]

Looking very much like the Packers are going to finish the regular season with a perfect record. The only tricky game remaining in the schedule is a week on Sunday, when they travel to face the Giants.

27-8 now.

[Gatecrasher]

TD Lions 11 secs left

27-15

[Gatecrasher]

2 INT's by Romo already still 0-0

[Dashing Bob S]

The Packers played well within themselves today and were still too good for the Lions. I think the only thing that will stop them from a 16-0 season is away to the Giants on the 4th. I can't see them losing to the Lions at home, and I doubt the Bears, without Cutler, will be good enough to stop them. That division has been such a stroll for them, the only thing that might hamper them is losing focus and having their eyes on the postseason and switching off.

I still have a suspicion that they won't win the Superbowl though.

Don't where this feeling of optimism is coming from, as I'm NEVER confident ahead of these games.

What a debut season it would be for Coach Hoke to both get us into a bowl with a good winning record AND to get the first win over Ohio State in far too long.

Stevie Johnson thought it was pretty funny however it wasn't as funny as his two dropped touchdowns.

Incomplete! Turned over in downs and New England start from their own 2.

Superb defense.

[Sylar]

Stevie Johnson thought it was pretty funny however it wasn't as funny as his two dropped touchdowns.

He did say afterwards that he felt stupid and had apologised.

I thought, a little like the initial reference incident, it was stupid.

His missed catch in the closing drive would have undoubtedly have given the Bills the win, so I guess it was somewhat karmic, from a New York perspective.

[Eyrie]

With our defensive record, I'll quit worrying when the clock hits 0:00 in the 4th quarter :agree:

I started worrying as soon as your offense took the field. We offset high profile defensive signings (Babin, Jenkins, Asomugha, Rodgers-Cromartie) by putting our OL coach in charge of the defence and installing a Wide 9 DL without any LBs to support them.

I've been calling for Reid's head all season. Not that I expect him to be fired this year, but I'm just frustrated with the constant underachievement.

[Sylar]

Another good stop for us.

Our much maligned defense has done exceptionally well tonight :agree:

[Eyrie]

Don't think I'll stay up for the fourth quarter as it's been painful listening this far and I have an early start.

Congratulations in advance on the win.

[Sylar]

I have an early start too and probably should go to bed, but our offense is in blistering form just now, so I'll opt for being a grumpy bugger tomorrow and watch it to it's conclusion!

Some Tebow magic in the 4th quarter coming again!

That Bronco defence is something else and Tebow just does not turn it over. He had a nice run for a first down in the drive that led to the game winning field goal.

Who would have thought this Bronco team would be in with a chance to win this division just a few short weeks ago when they were 2-5?

Be interesting to see how the Texans cope, after their lead QB Leinart was knocked out of the game with a broken collar bone and is expected to now miss the rest of the season.

The Tebow train is picking up steam and the Broncos are now up to second, with the Chargers bottom of the AFC West and normal service is resumed with a Sunday completed with a Colts loss.

The AFC North is looking very strong indeed this year and it looks possible that 2 WC spots might go to the same division, with Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati all having impressive records.

The WC race in the NFC is also looking pretty tight, with a lot of clubs on 7-4 right now. San Francisco look almost uncatchable and I think they'll secure the division next week if they beat St Louis? Oh, and I'll be there to see it :greengrin

Denver vs San Diego continues in OT.

Why is it that all spikes are not intentional grounding? What's the exact rule on it? Does it have to be immediately after the snap then?

Seahawks fair chucked it away last night. Looking forward to Thursday night though, confident of a good result. Misplaced optimism? Perhaps.

I think the ruling relates to formation setup.

For a spike, the formation isn't set up as a passing formation and the QB is under centre, but if he takes any step or hesitates looking for a pass, it's considered an attempt to get into passing formation, therefore counts as intentional grounding.

I'm not entirely sure of the specific technical boundaries between the 2 but any delay in a spike (which should be immediately after the snap) results in IG.

[Calvin]

I see, makes sense. Cheers.

I'm still here, don't you worry about that :greengrin. Thought I'd do the right thing and let you bask in your moment. Remind me, it was after all your first win in how many years :tee hee: and if you want to get carried away with a narrow win against the worst team we've had in many a year then fair do's. With everything that's gone on this year, this season was always gonna be a right off so if ever there was a time for you to beat us it had to now. You seem like a nice guy and I like you so don't begrudge you seeing your team win once in your life:love ya!:. Normal service will resume next year once we get sorted and Meyer get's his dream team in place. Don't you worry about that :gun:. Still $4 million a year seems a tad much.

Lynch's first TD last night was unreal, I'd bet on him to run into a brick wall and come through the other side unscathed! Jackson was 13 of 16 and a TD. With him finding form and Lynch racking up 100 yard games week after week we might have a glimmer of a chance at a wild card. We're running out of healthy offensive linemen though.

I'm utterly confused as to how 2 unranked BCS teams with losing records get to a bowl, particularly when OSU aren't bowl eligible...:confused:

We face Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl, which is a superb acknowledgement of a good season and hopefully we can walk away with a bowl to top of a great year.

[Gatecrasher]

How do they work out who is in what Bowl game? it seems confusing to me as i thiought

No chance. His winning streak is more down to Denver's defense than anything else - he's just plain awful to watch.

[Sylar]

Didn't see us today (again), but caught the score driving back down to San Francisco and pleased we managed to get a win in what could have been a stumbling stone.

Fiery exchange between Bill O'Neill and Brady on the sidelines apparently, but it's high pressure time of the year, so not a shock that patience is wearing thin.

It's frustrating - I've been in the US since last Friday and both days there've been football, I've missed it due to one reason or another (symposium at Berekely last Sunday and coming back from a weekend in the Redwood Forest/Pacific Coast today)!

The two most important attributes in a QB are a) the ability to take your teammates into battle for you (leadership) and b) the desire to get the win. Thats what Tebow seems to have. Throwing the prettiest spiral doesnt substitute for not winning , just ask Dan Marino. Jim Mcmahon threw an ugly ball but he won the superbowl ring that eluded Marino.

[Sergio sledge]

:agree:

Tebow is shocking. People will wise up very quickly to how to stop him and make him throw - which he cant do.

He's had 8 starts this season and yet no-one has worked anything out to stop him yet. Surely defensive co-ordinators must have enough material from college and NFL games to work on and work out how to stop him by now? I think the last two games have shown defences planning for Tebow and yet in both games he has come out and managed to get it done through passing and not running.

Tebow finishes with a W! :greengrin

That said, I can't see their winning run continuing against the Patriots. :thumbsup:

Great performance from Lynch and Seattle last night. Probably the leagues best back on form at the moment. Wild card still a possibility with a straightforward final 3 games.

Don't have ESPN so never saw the match but have just watched the highlights and it looked good. Still think the wildcard is beyond them but the recent form is a lot more promising.

Some cracking results for us this weekend with Tennessee, Oakland and Cincinatti all losing. :thumbsup:



We've lost Leonard though and although he's not the best, it's a massive loss for us. We have 3 very hard games to go and maybe, just maybe 2 wins will see us sneak it, if results go our way.

He doesnt have to throw a pretty spiral, he has to complete and he certainly cant from what I have seen of him.

Sure he can drive a team but I thought the bears coped with him quite well, if they had a better O then they would have won IMO.

Tebow has won how many games in OT? If he is so good, surely he would win games BEFORE having to settle for a field goal in OT.

[Sylar]

Falcons trounce Jacksonville last night and take a step closer to securing their berths in the playoffs:

Jacksonville 14-41 Atlanta

Big weekend coming up - a win in Mile High secures us our 9th AFC East Championship in 11 years, which is an astonishing achievement. I recall how excited I was when we FINALLY won our first since I'd started following the Pats, way back in 2001!

Our record against Denver is abysmal though, so I can't say I'm 100% confident - I'm pretty sure we've only beaten the Bronco's twice in something ridiculous like 18 games since 1969 and I'm fairly confident that Brady has only beaten them once in 7?

If we fail to win, a Pittsburgh win vs Sexy Rexy's Jets will suffice :agree:

I don't think it's a bad thing to be honest - I still expect Green Bay to feature in the Superbowl this year and losing now prevents the added pressures of "unbeaten" discussions.

We're about to get underway in Denver - hoping we can both end our appalling record against them and stop the Tebow Train, winning the AFC East in the process.

Indianapolis finally get a win - how bad must Tennessee be!!!

Maybe your right, but it shows GB aint as untouchable as previously thought. The Offensive line was a disaster today. I'm looking forward to Pats v Broncos :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

This is proving to be a shootout thus far, with Denver leading 13-7, with all 3 drives resulting in a TD thus far, though Denver missed their extra point attempt on their opening drive.

We're getting owned by both the rush AND the pass, with several tackles being high!!!

Tebow driving the Broncos well thus far :agree:

[Sylar]

I fear a long night ahead.

Our defense is easily one of the worst I've ever seen in the NFL :agree:

[Sylar]

Wow - 248 yards total offensive yards for the Broncos in the 1st QUARTER!

I fail to understand how our coaching staff have failed to address our defense all bloody season.

If we finally tie up our berth, I can't confess that I'm overly looking forward to the post-season.

[NOLA]

Packers lose to the Chiefs and Colts beat the Titans :greengrin oh and Tebow has showed up early in the game v the pats , what a strange day so far :dizzy:

[Gatecrasher]

It's a cracking game to watch though, I think new Orleans are a good super bowl shout, drew brees is hitting top form

[Sylar]

We can score on every drive for the remainder of this game, but unless we sort out the other side of the field, we'll lose.

Latest:

New England 14-16 Denver
Detroit 7-14 Oakland

Denver have hit the self destruct button in this 2nd quarter! A routine punt away with 14 seconds to go and Denver spill the punt catch inside their red zone - 3 seconds to get a FG and 3 points to finish the half!

[Sylar]

Did he really just say "excellent downfield coverage by the Patriots"?!?!?

[Sylar]

Another superb 80 yard drive and a good run from Woodhead to get it done.

Christmas Eve fixtures just announced on Sky for this coming Saturday:

Absolutely brilliant day for the Seahawks. Destroyed Chicago (31-0 in 2nd half!) and all the other NFC wildcard teams look like theyre losing if they havent lost already. After starting 2-6 the team without an offense for 2 years could be going to the playoffs for the 2nd straight season:greengrin

[Eyrie]

NY Jets 0-28 Philadelphia - :confused:


It gets stranger. We let them get back to 13-28, but now lead 38-10. This is how the season was meant to go for the Eagles when we made those high profile signings.

The benefit of being down in London is that I was able to go out and watch the whole game tonight at some NFL bar! I feared the worst in the 1st quarter when they scored the fumble recovery TD but Lynch was immense again and if the defence are switched on it's looking like a passing offense is extraneous!

I only watched the highlights but I love Marshawn Lynch. He must get regular post-game brain scans; ive never seen a running back break so many tackles with his head! Also his tenth consecutive game with a TD, a club record.

[Sylar]

Welcome back defense - I was getting a bit fed up watching whoever the more successful impostors were over the past 2 quarters!

I was under the impression that they were out of the race after the Giants game. As it turns out, they still have a slim chance of a Wildcard but they have to rely on other teams winning/losing etc.

A Jets win followed up with a loss for the Raiders, Titans and the Bengals would see us sneak in. Not out with the realms of possibilities given who their all playing but we'll no doubt blow it against the fish. Said all along we weren't good enough this year and only hope it's the end of the road for Schottenheimer.

Can't believe Sky aren't showing the Ravens game on Sunday night :confused:.

[Haymaker]

Watching RG3 for the first time in the Bowl vs Washington... wow. He looks amazing.

Are we seeing a shift in Quarterbacks? When you think Cam Newton, RG3... players who are athletic, strong, heavy but can throw, run and scramble?

I cant keep up with College football much, I keep an eye on NC State but I havent seen too much of them this year and was disappointed that Wilson transfered to Wis anyway so do you guys think we are seeing a shift?

[Haymaker]

Washington Baylor has been fantastic. Probably the most exciting game I have ever watched. Two amazing O's are just scoring for fun. 49-39 ( a record!) with over 20minutes left of football! :cb

Both teams are running, rushing, passing, short, medium, long... It is almost Kickoff-touchdown-kickoff-touchdown!

I'm still bemused by the Jets moves in the off season and all the crap going on behind the scene in Columbus ment this year was going to be a wash out. To be fair, if anything the biggest surprise is how good you guy's turned out this year. I thought we'd both suck this year. Don't get to used to it though cause I'm expecting things to get back to normal next year and for us to have a big, big season.
As for the Jets, People have to get real. In 20 years of following them the last few years are up there with the best of them and while this year was disappointing it wasn't to be unexpected. One things for sure though, it's going to be one hell of an off season, in Rex we trust :not worth.
We might not win the Superbowl next year or the year after but it will happen and when it does it will be all the more sweeter.

Don't count your chickens just yet :wink:.

I understand entirely - I'd waited far too long to finally experience a Michigan win in The Game and it was well worth it in the end.

I'm not sure what to expect next year in the Big Ten in all honesty - been a good Bowl Campaign for the Big Ten clubs and barring a couple of stupid loses, any one of Michigan, Wisconsin or Michigan State could have been in line for the BCS Championship game, this coming week.

We can only get stronger, as a Bowl win will boost our recruiting strength. We also have a lot of key players who aren't all retiring seniors, so plenty to be optimistic about. I'm not sure what to expect from Ohio State either next year - your reputation is well and truly battered and I'm not sure Fickel is the guy to take you forward - guess it really depends what his staff can do in the off-season recruitment period.

I definitely don't expect much out of us this post-season - we can't keep doing what we've done against both Buffalo and Miami and not pay a price. If we fail to turn up in the first quarter of a playoff game, home advantage or not, against the likes of Baltimore or Pittsburgh, we can forget about it. I fully expect one of those clubs to be the AFC representative in the Superbowl, despite our current advantage!

Also not sure what to expect from us next year - we've seen some good young prospects start to feature this year, but our drafting and transfers really need to focus on sorting out our D, which is nowhere near good enough to be winning Superbowls. More looking forward to the NFC Playoffs than the AFC ones, as there are three really good teams with a shot at making the Championship game - especially looking forward to Detroit vs New Orleans this coming weekend!

Wildcard weekend then BCS Championship game on Monday :aok:

[Sylar]

Houston comfortably see off Cincinnati, followed by the Saints crushing the Lions in the Superdome. Atlanta @ NY Giants and Pittsburgh @ Denver tonight.

Cincinnati 10-31 Houston
Detroit 28-45 New Orleans

[Sylar]

Falcons @ Giants about to get underway on SS2, followed by the Steelers trip to Tebow and the Broncos!

Do the Jets have a bye this week or do they just go straight into the Superbowl?

[Gatecrasher]

Falcons getting their asses kicked by the Giants after a slow start, I don't like the idea of them heading up to Green Bay!

[Sylar]

That pass-rush of theirs is pretty scary.

Falcons and Matt Ryan have been unbelievably poor though!

[Sylar]

Let's all do the Tebow! Boom! :thumbsup:

[Sylar]

Roethlisberger smashed and hurts his left ankle again!

He could be done - timeout and in pain!

[Sylar]

Woohoo!!! Comes back out, no drive off of his back foot and throws a pick!

Surely he's done now!

[Sylar]

Could be a big stop there by Pittsburgh, keeping the Broncos to a FG on the pick.

Pittsburgh 6-17 Denver

[NOLA]

Good win again by the Saints last night v the lions, thought stafford + johnson played very well for detroit but they needed to put points on the board after winning those turnovers and didnt, Saints roll on to face the niners which should be alot tighter, fingers crossed already :greengrin the dirty birds failed miserably at NY today so all in all with the Hibees winning aswell:cb a Carlsberg weekend :greengrin

[NOLA]

TBOW and the team he plays for up 17-6 :faint: i think they will miss dekker though, lets see if ben the beast plays on, tough call for tomlin i feel

[Sylar]

I know "Big Ben" has the experience, but Pittsburgh cannot continue with him and his dodgy ankle!

He has no drive to throw the ball and can't get around to his RB's quick enough to hand it off.

Here come Denver again!

[Sylar]

At the half:

Pittsburgh 6-20 Denver

[Gatecrasher]

Tebow Tebow Tebow!!!!

[Calvin]

Put a Broncos-Giants double on this morning. With the Steelers 13/5 for the win now, I'll stick on £20 and I can't lose. Happy days.

I was really wanting the Lions to win last night and at the half things were looking good but I guess the class of the Saints rose to the top in the end.

Do the Jets have a bye this week or do they just go straight into the Superbowl?

I hope the Steelers come back and beat the Broncos, cant stand this love-fest with Tim Teballs.

Really?! I'd much rather we face Denver than Pittsburgh next weekend!

[Haymaker]

I hate this love-in that much! :greengrin

[Sylar]

I hate this love-in that much! :greengrin

Think how much more you'd enjoy it if it were to be US who end it though?

Nothing for granted though - you know how our record is when we go into post-season games as favourites!

[Sylar]

That can't be ruled as anything OTHER than a fumble and it's a farce if they give it as an incomplete pass...

[Sylar]

What a ****ing joke.

Shocking officiating.
