We've asked him to come back as DC. Pack it in Robert, this HC game is tough.

Rozeboom is a free agent as well I believe? Thought he had a good season and you'd want to get him signed. I don't think you'd be doing better than Stafford under centre next season. Unless they fancy guys like Darnold, Fields or feel like making a play for Rodgers. Nup.

No doubt, healthy D will be the barometer for them. I think it's a big time for Campbell though, great coaches have great coordinators leave for better jobs, can Dan work the magic? I think if Kupp alone played they would have won it, you just can't put a price on those receivers who find that yard of space in big games.

O-line could use improvement but everyone's could. In inside LB like what Wagner was meant to be would be handy, a nice rookie would compliment guys like Verse. More WR depth would be good too. This draft doesn't look super deep at receiver but you've proven you can get late steals. Right now you'd be favourite to top the west again but we'll re-visit after free agency/draft.

Was bound to leave for a HC job. I do worry about the Lions. As a team gets more expensive you either need an elite coach or an elite QB. I think Dan Campbell has done an amazing job and seems to be a great man manager but I do feel a lot of his success is down to his coordinators. Jared Goff has had a great season and is definitely in the good QB category. I would not say elite though. Will be interesting to see what off-season they have.

Me too. Hopefully they can do this halftime show again.

He must feel sick to the stomach right now. Clever play call but his foot slipped just before the catch attempt, you just gotta catch those! I'm on the Bills now for the duration, hopefully 4th or 5th time lucky against those filthy stinking Chiefs!

You're both correct.

Pass intended for Nacua incomplete, game over. Great heart shown by the Rams to fight till the end.

Huge play from Nacua. Game is well and truly on!

2 minute drill coming up. Lots of soft zone coverage to be expected.

Turner in with a massive sack! 3rd and 19!

2:48 left, all 3 timeouts remaining. DON'T GIVE UP GORG!!

BAM! Parkinson through the middle TD.

Into the red zone, come on!!

Hopefully Rams score on this drive to make it interesting.

Gonna be difficult from here but both teams still have all 3 timeouts. Edit: Nek minnit Saquon goes 78 yards to the house.

It's that kind of game, execution won't be easy.

Firstly, welcome back! Secondly, I agree wholeheartedly.

I'm looking forward to when Freo are bursting at the cap seams.

I think you're right and that repeat speed is the thing I've been most impressed with. I haven't seen enough of his ability in front of goal but I think there is more than enough there to be a menacing pressure man.

This game is probably going to come down to yards on the ground. Eagles lead despite having 25 passing yards.

Fair observation. More often than not at least 1 one seed team makes the superbowl each year so it does help to get that rest in especially if you're an older or banged up team. I also like the do or die nature of this playoff system where these games are the ones that you absolutely must perform in. Every now and then you do get some heartbreak stories like the Minnesota Vikings of 1998 who went 15-1 only to go down by 3 points in the NFC Championship game to the Falcons. A week off and home field advantage which would mean more in the NFL than AFL seems to be enough of an incentive I guess.

Thank god others feel the same. I felt like the world were all just becoming Kelcie-Swifty Mahomes losers and people not knowing anything about the sport jumping on the Chiefs train etc.

Yes and we know what those seasons were like. Peyton Manning is an undisputed legend but I remember so many big games in bad weather that he didn't perform in. It almost became an omen when the TV broadcast started and you'd see him warming up with the rain coming in sideways and cold as ice.
