I was looking forward to seeing RG3, but he’s clearly not up to it. Sweep right to the tailback on a 3rd and 21? They clearly have no faith in him.Quote:

I’m really enjoying the Vikings second half of the season. They’ve just taken an early lead against Tampa Bay with smashmouth running game, quite like the 49ers last season with a lot of power running and play action. Both teams need the win to solidify a wild card spot.
Wow. Vikings dominating early, miss a couple of easy kicks, Brady with one perfect deep ball gives the Buccs the lead. He’s still got something left in that arm...
The Vikings have to be furious with the refs this half. And the kicker.
The Jets are doing a Jets thing, before the opening ko they’re 0-13 and in prime position for Trev Lawrence, now they’re shocking the 9-4 Rams 20-3 in the 3rd quarter:greengrin
The Jets win finally.
**** the Steelers letsss gooooo!!
Ach we’ve just taken our foot of the gas till the playoffs :greengrinQuote:

I think I’d be worried if I was a Steelers fan. Looks like the 11-0 record was a bit of a facade and Ben looks horrible.Quote:

Maybe they’re starting to believe their own hype and these losses will give them a kick up the backside.Quote:

If you haven't seen the throw he made in the last 20 seconds of last night's game then watch it. He was partially decapitated when he released the ball.
I think he got a bit lucky on that one :greengrinQuote:

The 10-4 Browns finding a way to mess up their season. Always the same, 14-3 down now to the Jets.
Great win for the black and gold, to turn that around was impressive.
The Jaguars have won the Trevor Lawrence lottery then. The way they have played this season there should be zero doubt they pick him.
Big potential division deciding games on now Eagles Cowboys and Seahawks Rams.
what a deep ball from Hurts, he has to be the starter now. Eagles in pole position now.
Did you see how the game ended? I've had it explained a couple of times and still don't get it. Very unfair in my opinion.Quote:

Id switched games by then. Two teams that have found their way to mess things up when it mattered most. As usual. Jags get Trev.Quote:

Watch the play when you get the chance. I had no idea that was the rules. I'm still not sure it even is as sure I've seen an offensive player recover a fumble and move the ball forward :confused:Quote:

The ball is ruled dead at the spot where the fumble happened. It’s a scenario that only becomes relevant late on in games so making it kick in in the final 2 minutes makes it a good rule IMO.Quote:

The mood on the street here in Jets country is...
WHAT THE ****?!?!
I think it's brilliant.Quote:

I'm actually quite chuffed for Lawrence at how this has played out. For all the Jags issues they have a lot of draft picks and mountains of cap space to build something. He has a shot at being successful there.
I don’t know much about college football, but is Trev that much better than the alternatives? I hear the Ohio QB Fields is a top prospect as well. It wouldn’t be the first time a college star fades in the pros and vice versa; no one expected much from the rookie QB Herbert at the chargers this year, he went behind 4 or 5 other QBs in the draft and he’s broken the rookie TD record this season! he wasn’t even a starter in September. It could be the Jets get an eventual star player anyway from #2.Quote:

I liked Fields for the Patriots but he had a shocker in the championship game the other week...Quote:

Interesting, thanks. He does have nice hair also.Quote:

It's going to be really interesting to see what we do in the off-season this year. I have a sneaky feeling BB is going to walk away at the end of this year, as Kraft Snr rolls the dice with Josh McDaniels most likely to take over.
Cam has looked awful at times, but with so few weapons and protection, he's not being helped - I can't decide if I want to see him get another year or tossed out of a moving bus. Apart from our special teams, it's been a horror show of a year and I fully expect the Jets to get their 3rd win in our final game.
Well Fields is currently beating the ship out of Clemson so....Quote:
