NFL's back again.

You obviously missed our first four games this season! LOL

I think the Steelers peaked too early and they struggled towards the end of the season - and the same may apply to the Chiefs and Bills who continued to win for the most part albeit narrowly. Perhaps if you have an excellent season record towards the end it opens the door to complacency and the rhythm goes. I'm particularly concerned about the Chiefs in that department, not only because they were a shadow of their earlier selves towards the end but also because they've not had a competitive match due to the bye.
I just don't think you can turn form just like that so I think they are there for the taking - but you never know with Mahomes and Hill.

I caught some highlights but to be honest I think everyone was a bit 'off' early season, not surprising really given the disruption from Co-Vid and other things. But in terms of a post season performance I really can't remember anyone being that incoherent since the '49ers in the early post Montana and Young years. TBH when I said I thought the Browns might take them I envisaged a tight game won by maybe a field goal not a match where the Steelers would effectively throw the whole thing away inside the first quarter. That missed snap leading to a TD is gonna be on 'Epic Football Fails' compilations for decades.

Quick question, why the fuck do they call it football?

I know Martin. They call Rugby football as well and it baffles me. As to the American Football, I really annoy my friend Mark (he's from San Francisco) by calling it "Rugby in pads with frequent committee meetings." I suggested it's because Americans can't concentrate on anything for more than three conscecutive minutes and they need a commercial break after every play so they can grab another cheeseburger. Maybe that's why Trump was so effective at selling his message. After all a Tweet is about as much as an average yank can read in one go.

Bonceys Bills won easily against the Ravens and look like they'll be playing the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, this could be the year Boncey!

In the NFC the Packers looked good against the Rams and will be tough to beat. I can see them beating whoever wins the other game and going to the Superbowl.

I'm getting the multi pack crisps in. Hold on to your hats.

Browns have a chance now as Mahomes has gone off with a possible concussion.

Go Osi!

Watched a bit of the Saints vs Bucs game last night and expected the Saints to win but woke up to find the Bucs are through! 

Boncey's Bills will be hoping Mahomes can't play next week due to his concussion as if that's the case, then they are bound to win.

Brady still has the class.
Chiefs managed to see the game out OK without Mahomes but he would be a massive loss if he can't play in the championship game.
Packers seem to be sneaking under the radar still, which is surprising seeing as Aaron Rodgers is playing well ATM. Genuinely can't pick an overall winner as it stands - although I'm sure Bonce must be feeling confident

Hard for a Wanderer to be confident about anything these days. Got a feeling the cup will be raised to my lips, only to be brutally dashed away.

Watched Mahomes concussion over again and TBH I'd be surprised if it keeps him out of the Championship game. That said the Chiefs don't look the team they were, but the defence was great against the Browns running game and their biggest asset is still Andy Reid.
