The Falcons look like a team coming into form - I was in the States over Xmas and a few TV pundits had them as dark horses.

Eagles gifted them 10 points and the Falcons still couldn't do squat. Philly offensive line shoved the Falcons d-line around all afternoon. Atlanta offense also effected by the weather and lacked patience with their running game, which was very looked pretty good going outside right the few times they did.

Didn't watch the 2nd half of the Pats game. It was over at the half really.

Poor game from the Falcons, did not deserve to win.
Disappointed with how Matt Ryan played. Some of his decision making was terrible.

Looking forward to the games today, expect the Steelers to win and I think the Saints will cause an upset.

Yeah, Titans were always going to lose but a couple of poor calls by the officials killed any chance of a competitive game. The offensive pass interference was a joke, and then the offsides call on the NE punt was a very odd sequence where first it was called one way and then for some mysterious reason gets reversed.

the titans' game only lasted one drive.
those decisions may have killed it short, but it didn't look like they could do anything. pats D stacked the box, put a spy on mariota and dared him to throw... which he's not very good at.
titans D was useless.

falcons were horrible, ryan's bit of improvisation for the TD aside, they did f*** all on offense.
matty ice must be the worst nickname around, unless they mean it as "melts when it gets hot".
foles was awful in the first half, decent in the second, i still don't think he'll be good enough.

The Jags!! Surest not. They can’t can they?

[Bend it like Repka]

The Jags!! Surest not. They can’t can they?

21 - 0 up. They are taking the Steelers apart!

I thought they had no offense....

[Vince]

Steelers-Jags : Superb game........going to be a great last 9 minutes.....

[James P]

Another cracker in Minneapolis. Saints leading 21-20 with three minutes left having been 17-0 down late in the third quarter.

wow




just wow

[HammerSaints]

I have no words.....

[WCpete]

That’s got to be one of the biggest defensive gaffes by a defender ever. What was Williams doing? He’s going to need heavy medication to get any sleep tonight and maybe for months.

[WCpete]

Watching the slo Mo it looks like he was trying to avoid the pass interference which makes a little more sense. Still, take the penalty man.

[Vince]

Amazing finish Vikings-Saints.
I was bang up on my prediction's for these two games. :lol:

Older Vikings fans will see this as a make up for the original Hail Mary:

Was in the stadium for the Vikings game today. Have never seen anything like that. Incredible. People were crying.

[Slacking student]

I'm like a zombie at work today but totally worth it.

Looked at the clock at the start of the 4th and it read 00:02 and thought this'll be over by quarter to. A hell of a long final 15 but definitely worth staying up for

Nice one. I hope either them or the Eagles can stop the Patriots winning again.

Just make a play

[bitter-iron-ny]

Just make a play

Marcus Williams deserves full credit for standing there in front of his locker and facing the press afterwards. A horrible spot for him and he showed great character by patiently taking questions and assuming total responsibility for his play. Only a rookie, hope he goes on to have a long and successful career.
