Erithacus Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 And with an OT loss to the Seahawks the reigning Superbowl champions Rams finish the season with a 5-12 record. Quite some comedown. Meanwhile the race to get on the playoff bus has left a few others behind too. It's that time of year; the real football starts now!

Red7 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 That was an exciting and tense last weekend of the regular season. Dolphins sneaking in ahead of Patriots and Steelers. Seahawks edging in ahead of Lions and Packers. Ridiculous decision to have the Packers v Lions game later than the Seahawks v Rams game, though.

northsomersetred Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Philly and the Bungles for the SB. Useless fact of the day, Stetson Bennett, Georgia QB who won the National Championship is older than both starting QB's in the NFC Championship game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Niners are being ground into oblivion by the Eagles' O line. Penalties and running out of QBs is a big problem too. The game is all about pain and tonight is a prime example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWANG50 Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 So the two favs make it through. Didn't see the late game but the 49ers didn't get much luck and got pounded out of the game... I can see Mahomes guiding the Chiefs to glory this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Both Conference games highlighted just how raw an edge football can have. Watching the Niners was like watching your pet dog die - just about everything that could go bad did. It was not their night. And the late hit on Mahomes right at the end that put the Chiefs in field goal range was a classic Bengal bungle. Linebacker Joseph Ossai sat on the bench and his world caved in - he'd just thrown a year's worth of the team's sweat and tears in the bin. But that's football... Superbowl LVII looks like being a genuine classic and I'm ordering the party-size pizza now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't push somebody once they're out of bounds* - such a brain-dead thing to do. *Unless it's a Jets player then you can do whatever you want to them.

northsomersetred Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 The last football, SB XXXVI call by Madden and Summerall, they made the game for me in the 80's, fantastic commentary. I was devastated when C4 decided to call SB XXI themselves, John Smith, Shula and?, and not use Madden and Summerall but not as devastated as when C4 decided to use the Vicious Boys to present the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
