1:45 to go, 10 point lead. Jags in control.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

[censored] Jags, I just lost my bet cos they let the last TD in. 

 

 

 

Bahaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[JV7 2,368]

Jags, wow. Anytime to go into Pittsburgh & win is big but to do it in a playoff game.. Hats off to them. Congrats Clint. I actually think the Jags defense could give the Pats & Brady some trouble. 

Just shows as others have posted above, all our teams(I think) in this forum have had some recent success as in making the playoffs in the last 2 seasons alone... Would be hard to say the same about the AFL with a group of different supporter bases. 

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

The SB could be Bortles vs keenum/foles...

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

Bikes were great 8n the first half, starting the second half well. Want to see them attack and not try and slow the game or hold it up. Only 17 pts.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnndddddd just like that, 21-20 to th3 saints with 3:01left.

Feels to me like Vikings will get a FG... And it'll be Brees with about 30 seconds or something...

Lots of Eagles fans want Vikings to win.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

4th and 10 and Brees nails it. 40 sec left and in long field goal range.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

24-23 saints up with 25 seconds remaining and 1 time out

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

Holy [censored]. What an end.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

That’s saints player that muffs that tackle will relieve that for a long time.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Have you ever. Seen. Anything. Like. That.

Nope. He misses the tackle and takes out his own player behind. Doubt he would have caught Diggs but...

 

wow

[JV7 2,368]

Oh my god... Just when you think you've seen it all in this sport 

[Clintosaurus 7,912]

I thought we could win but did not think it would take 45 points. Saw about half the game so will be watching both replays tonight.

Had he just slowed up and put his arms out he'd have at least stopped him where he caught it. I sort of get why he tried to barrel him... to cause a drop and incomplete pass instead of what looked like a gettable field goal... But man it looked bad. he didn't touch him at all.

He could have just wrapped him up in a tackle & it would have been over.. They wouldn't of had time to get to the line & clock the ball for a FG attempt. All he litreally had to do was hold him up where he was & the Saints win the ball game

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

Bortles, Foles, Keenum... Brady

Man I hope the Jags win so it’s two of the first 3 in the Superbowl.

It's pick the Pats to win and hope you get it wrong.  That's how I'm viewing it. 

I give the Jags a puncher's chance ... maybe more of a chance than I would have given the Steelers.  New England are -9.5 point favourites.

As for the NFC Championship game - that's a toss of the coin even though the Vikings are -3.5 point favourites.

I reckon Diggs would have managed to dive over the line, seeing as he did land on his feet. But yes. Either way... It's the right move. What I mean was I think he was going glorytown. Hit him hard down the middle and shake him up... making the ball drop incomplete. It wasn't the right move, but I can sort of see how the blood would have rushed to his head. What's stunning is that these are some of the most high pressure athletes in the world today. That poor kid will be replaying that the rest of his life.

Leaderboard in the Comp (post-season)

5 - Macca

4 - Go the Biff,  Dappa Dan

3 - JV7,  Clintosaurus,  Gorgoroth

Remembering that it's 2 points for each winner in the Championship games with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl winner.

I'm actually in line for the 3-peat in the post-season tipping comp ... not bad for the world's worst tipster.

The saving grace is that it didn't happen in a Super Bowl. 

The Seahawks not handing the ball off to beast-mode in the dying seconds of that Super Bowl will haunt that organisation and their fans forever. 

And I still maintain a 60/40 stance on last year's SB - the comeback by the Pats was greater than Atlanta blowing that lead.  Many will disagree of course but I don't believe any other team could have come back from a 28 - 3 deficit in a SB.

[Gorgoroth 13,134]

Seen all the stuff about how terrible Fisher was again.

Keenum, Foles, Goff...
