9 in a row. #stillundertheradar


I’d been sucked in by the hype, I’d heard so much about the Colts having an elite o-line, Luck went 5 games without being sacked whilst throwing 3+td’s per game, they were averaging 29+ points per game, but last night our defence was outrageous. Ngakoue was in the backfield all game, Campbell controlled the trenches and Ramsey was playing like a man possessed. A big bonus from yesterday’s game was the emergence of Ronnie Harrison, our rookie SS from Alabama, he was our 3rd round pick and he’s seen few snaps so far, he started in place of the declining Barry Church and he made a big impact. Cheerio Barry.

Fair play to the Colts. Luck sliced and diced the Texans secondary, so deserved winners. Texans should still take the AFC South though.

Unbelievable finish in Miami with that final play. Gronk stumbling right at the end created the little bit of space needed to squeeze in.

A lot of folk wondered why the Giants used their No.2 pick in the draft on a RB instead of a QB, after today’s performance by Saquon Barkley, including a 78 yard touchdown, looks like they made the right choice. Finished 40-16 against the Redskins, 40-0 at one stage. With SB and OBJ playing like they are could this be the start of a comeback? Tennessee, Indianapolis and Dallas coming up

Cowboys Eagles tying at 23 - 23, this has turned into a wild game - 3 TDs in the last 3 minutes of 4th quarter and a 62 yard field goal from the Cowboys right at the end of half time. Now into overtime.

Cowboys take it 29-23 with TD by Amari Cooper

Another solid win from Seattle, 21-7.

Not a great game by any stretch, but shutting out the Vikings until a final drive consolation TD was excellent.

Looking very good for a wildcard now, with the 49ers (3-10) and Cardinals (3-10) as two of our last three games. Only the Chiefs should be an issue. 10-6 is well within our grasp – not bad from a 0-2 start.

first to last for the Skins now looks the likeliest outcome :(

Would help if you could keep a QB on the pitch for a full game. Reckon the O Line have been getting real grief for allowing two QBS to be injured so badly. As for Sanchez....

Well it looked like a pretty ordinary match but a win was nice for the Skins, shame the Rams couldn't win as well :) Good to see the Colts get an impressive victory also :whistle:

Plenty of unexpected nosebleeds in Houston at the moment with the Texans currently in that AFC 2nd spot.

Could all unravel spectacularly this weekend on the road in Philly before NSC's much-anticipated Jags @ Texans match-up.

Still, at least the Patriots lost. Again. So regardless of how your preferred team's doing, there is that consolation for most of us on here.

Lions lost by 1 point. That 1 point being the PAT where the snap was so bad they didn't even get a kick away, and the ball was lobbed out of play by the holder. Another comedy year in Detroit.

That's the Giants done for another season - they surrendered 3 sacks, dropped a handful of passes and committed 10 penalties and had a terrible offense, didn't help not having OBJ playing. Looks like we've got Manning at least for 2019 and possibly beyond, because basically there are currently no better options. Sam Darnold showed how a QB should play in the Jets game against the Texans on Saturday night.

Another embarrassing loss for the Broncos. Even worse when it comes against the equally woeful Raiders. Hopefully this will end the Joseph reign and I also hope Elway will now realise that Keenum was a one season wonder with the Vikings and get in a proper QB for next year.

Eagles grab their wild card ticket after beating the Redskins 24-0, they're playing the Bears.

For a game which was practically meaningless I was impressed with the effort of both teams in the Giants Cowboys game.

Buccaneers have fired their coach and the Jets are expected to fire Todd Bowles

Last week, it was an Eagles last second kick which took the #2 AFC seed away from the Texans, but they bounced back well against the Jags.

They were knocking these out fairly briskly after the game.

Roll on Wildcard Weekend!

Colts up 17-10 at half time. Tennessee lucky to be only 7 down. Should be a great second half
