The OFFICIAL 2016 NFL thread

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Yet another football legend suffering the effects of years of bashing heads....very sad. I remember Gastineau absolutely tearing through people in the 80's with the Jets - he was a beast.
On the back of watching "Concussion" again yesterday, this is another reminder of why the League is clamping down on targeting & dangerous hits leading with the helmet these days....

Ravens LB Zach Orr forced to retire at 24 due to serious neck/spine injury, this guy was a real talent. Such a shame.

So in old change semi-finals tonight.

Still fancy the Packers as winning the main event two weeks today

Cheek clenching night ahead for us Falcons... Not nervous much... Eeeeeek.

Can't wait for tonight's games.

Packers/ Falcons comes down to Rodgers imo. I doubt the Falcons offence is going to be slowed down.

Steelers/ Patriots will be decided by the Steelers running game vs the Patriots stout run defence. If Bell is allowed to go off for 150 yards again, Steelers win. Force Pittsburgh to beat you in the air, Roethlisberger's struggled on the road this year. Keep an eye out for Pittsburg's young and much improved defence. Tuitt, Shazier, Dupree and Harrison have been outstanding in the playoffs.

Can I just say the fella in Friday nights ESL dressed head to toe in Packers gears including a Favre jersey - wasn't me.


But nuff respect.

 

[Sussexscots]

Packers have three WR's listed as questionable for tonight: Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison. Plus the team didn't train on Friday due to multiple cases of 'flu.

Gulp.

Oh I didn't see the ride up bit.

I think the Falcons will win tonight - Packers luck must run out soon and the latest injuries might just be too much for them. I would hope that they won't be playing the Pats in the Superbowl but not sure that the Steelers have enough to hold back the Brady bunch.

Falcons v Steelers in the final

I hope.

Didn't realise the Falcons offensive numbers this season bore comparison with The Greatest Show on Turf.

Been such a joy to watch this season, what ever happens we have had one hell of a unexpected season with this young team and good thing is I don't think this is a one off we could be around for a while with this team and some good additions. My emotions are a mess right now, come on Atlanta!!

Offensively they have been fantastic, but it's been down to the whole unit.

Not wishing to be rude (knowing full well I going to be seriously rude, for comedic effect) but a shaved monkey could have QB'ed Atlanta to a better record than Cleveland, this season.

Falcons have a great run game, Freeman and Coleman both so effective

Although Gus Bradley would still have failed!
