A torn achilles isn’t something id wish on many people. In Watsons’s case, its just basic karma. On him, and on the Browns for signing the creep in the first place.Quote:

I got round to watching the highlights last night, was a great see saw battle in the snow. When I played many years ago as soon as the weather got like that you'd just hand the ball off to a running back and make sure you told him to wrap the ball up and not to fumble, now it seems like they pass it through the snow just as often-maybe improvements in footwear and difficulty for covering defenders to keep their feet. Both Jameis and Russell were super accurate in those conditions, impressive. Steelers still look good for the playoffs.Quote:

My mate (who is a Dallas Cowboys fan) just sent me a message saying Cowboys = Hibs after that blocked kick, their latest calamity.
It’s funny because it’s true.

I think I might love Tua. He's just carving the Patriots up for fun.
With him under centre the Dolphins suddenly resemble a serious football team again.
Im calling this now. After nearly 100 of being *****, this time Lions this time.
a hammering is taking place
Buccaneers 30-0 @ NY Giants
flicking through the venues and i couldn't help notice the surface at the miami dolphins stadium, jeezo and we slag some surfaces in Scottish football :greengrin
switched channels earlier with chiefs way ahead of the Carolina panthers flicked back and it's 27-27 with 1:46 on the clock, unfortunately Chiefs have the ball now
33 yard run by mahomes
in FG range now
31 yard FG wins it :( valiant effort Panthers
Right… tell me that bit at the end where Turpin goes to take the punt, accidentally lets it roll through his legs, gathers it, spins, and takes it the length of the pitch for a touchdown… isn’t the American football equivalent of Elie Youan at Hibs?Quote:

Good stat: Miami have now lost their last 11 games playing in temperatures under 40 degrees (4c).
Thats their season over surely.
Lucky KC after the Raiders blow it on the last play. How many games have they won now in the last few seconds?
Theyre clearly trolling the rest of the NFL at this point. Their record is 11-1 but they’ve only been comfortable in 3 of those wins.Quote:

6-0
jets get to set up at the 27 yard line after seahawks lose the ball from the restart
2nd & Goal TD jets Rookie Davis, Jets go for the 2
14-0

Seahawks special teams shocking spillage scandalQuote:

not even HT and it's 21-21 at Steelers @ bengals game
seahawks FG 21-16 jets
that was a big mistake by the jets coach ulbrich not to call a timeout and add an extra 30 seconds for jets to get another score before HT,strange one
anyways HT 21-16
i can see jets losing this, they're not getting the breaks now from seahawk muck-ups
seahawks 1st,2nd, 3rd & Goal, penalty, 1st,2nd, 3rd and 4th &Goal...zilch, some great defence by jets there
Awful hit on Trevor Lawrence, leads to 2 ejections after a mass brawl
Such a brave call on 4th down there by Seattle. JSN the top slot receiver in the league.Quote:

4th & 1, oh my goodness jets give away yet another penalty for interference, 1st & 10
seahawks 4th & 1 looking for a FG but jets stop them, wait a minute, flag calls yet ANOTHER jets penalty
jets defence has been great but now a litany of comical penalties
seahawks fumble on the 12 yard line lol, this is no real
wait, it's now an incomplete pass because jets 99 goes in the neutral zone lol, back to 3rd & 1 seahawks, and now TD, jets only have themselves to blame here it's almost like they've never played the game before
26-21 Seahawks

Dolphins need to win to stay in the hunt
well that was incredibly easy that drive, TD Dolphins
Jets fade so badly in the last few games
Jets were realistically out of it weeks ago, there’s been lots of playoff irrelevant games in the early window (giants-saints, seriously, only fantasy owners care!)Quote:

This has been a spectacular game in LA all evening. Bills 35 Rams 38, 9 mins left, but Josh Allen seems able to create magic at will.
Seattle fans everywhere cheering on the Bills.
Rams are going to throw this away. Massive 3rd down with 4.40 leftQuote:

I think you’re favourites for the division after that performance. Seattle have to play the NFC North next three weeks and then goes to the Rams in the final week, brutal schedule and youll own the tiebreaker if you win that game.Quote:

no doubt they will go 13-1 after next week @ Cleveland Browns(3-10)
then a home game v Houston followed by hopefully a very hard test on Xmas day @ Pittsburgh
Great win for the Rams at the 49ers last night albeit first game of the season with no touchdowns. Never an easy place to go. Looking forward to some cracking games this weekend now.Quote:

I’ll be staying up late for Packers-Seahawks, Seattle have had so many great games with the Pack over the years.Quote:

i'm sure he has his reason :hmmm:
anyways, Rodgers and Davante Adams=dream team :greengrin
Bad day for the Colts and Dolphins in the AFC. Colts’ Johnathan Taylor runs for an apparent TD in a crucial game at Denver, but replays show he dropped the ball in celebration before he’d crossed the line, no score, absolutely incredible how this continues to happen to players.
Packers Seahawks shortly for those not working tomorrow :greengrin
great game Bills winning 48-42 @ Detroit Lions
Go
Packers
Go
great win in Seattle 30-13 Green Bay now 10-4
pick of the TD's for me was Doubs with a brilliant catch with 5 mins remaining
what a weekend
Jets win
Packers win
Eagles win
Hibs Win
Hibs Women win
Huns Lose
Diets Lose
sadly Leeds could only Draw :(
Packers very very good, only losses to Lions Vikings and eagles. Was never close last night and Geno’s injury leaves Seattle in real trouble now.Quote:

Oh just **** off.
Jets 999th regular season game ends with a 40-14 hammering @ Bills
looking forward to this upcoming Packers @ Vikings game
Seahawks need a complicated series of results including Dolphins, Packers, Lions wins to stay alive, so im going to watch without expectation.Quote:

The Giants really know how to royally **** things up, imagine trading away your best player to see him be a record breaker for your rivals.
Close but no cigar for GB.
Great fightback against a top side
packers unlucky there, 20-3 down at one stage early 3rdQ just run out of time to try win it themselves, 27-25 vikings
huge game tonight Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions
winner gets a first round bye in the play-offs and home field advantage throughout
loser finishes 5th seed, never been a regular season game between two 14-win sides in NFL history and a bummer for the loser ending up a wildcard team
unfortunately this one is the 01:20 mon morning game this week and i'm up early tomorrow so will probably skip the 2nd half :(
still plenty up for grabs with others
Broncos home to Kansas who are resting Mahomes and a few others, if Broncos do slip up Miami Dolphins will get the final AFC wildcard spot with a win at Jets.
interesting that Kansas will have a three week break before that next game, could be rusty
94 yard return for a Bears TD dearie me GB :boo hoo:
Atlanta might be sneaking into the playoffs at the expense of the buccs.Quote:

Cant believe Saquon ismt going to get a chance to go for the rushing record. The Eagles playing their backups. One of the great rushing seasons of all time.
Looking forward to the 9.25 games.
All I need is the Dolphins to beat the Jets and the Chiefs back ups to beat the Broncos. If that happens we win the right to get pumped in Buffalo next week.
Simple eh?
packers were disappointing there, love injured his elbow earlier
packers go ahead with a FG with 48 seconds remaining 22-21
Bears FG two secs remaining wins it and a 10 game losing streak comes to an end 24-22 Bears
so poor
so so so poor
did i say they were poor :( drop down from 6th seed to 7th and i think it's Philly Eagles in Philly
yup was reading about that earlier, i don't understand thatQuote:

did the commentator just say that made him $3m in incentives :confused:Quote:

then again a few $m is a huge incentive
3-0 Dolphins
Broncos 7-0
Broncos 14-0
Im not an expert on college football by any means, but it seems like there are four quality prospects, Travis Hunter WR/CB who will go first, Cam Ward from U of Miami the top QB, Graham a defensive monster from Michigan and Hunters QB from Colorado who’s name escapes me. The Pats already have their QB in Drake Maye so they might have to trade up after today!Quote:
