Dear diary, What a day of National Football League playoffs. Back to the old grind tomorrow but taking this Mon off was a real treat. The Bills got the job done but there are concerns. I won't rule them out though because they do make big plays when it counts. We'll see how they go against the Bengals. Speaking of the Bengals, did we mention the Bengals? What a game! The Ravens gave everything they had in their tank and ran, socked and teamed. How about Huntley's effort on the enzone, inches from breaking the plane then fumble and returned for a 98 yard house call by Sam Hubbard. A two TD turnaround! Bengals advance and I don't know about you guys but I'm loving watching them at the moment. Burrow as accurate as they come and a great roster top to bottom. Can they be there on SB Sunday again? Yes is the answer to that question. The New York Football Giants are back at the pointy end and let's be honest every one of us is terrified (not really) because we know that this is a franchise that you don't rule out in play-offs. I never thought the Vikings would win the Superbowl and the reason being that I just didn't, I didn't tell this to you all out of respect though. Jefferson and Kirk Cousins flim flam man go home. Bucs and Cowboys tomorrow which I will not get to see live but here's hoping the man with the plan TB12 has one more vintage performance in him. There's an old saying that you don't know what's there until it's there. Or something like that. Game times have been announced and if you look really closely at me right now you can literally see the steam coming from my ears as TB/DAL @ SF is going to be Monday midday. Gonna needa lawyer to get me out of this one.

Best game I've seen him play

I've got one thing to say to most NFL teams that try a Wildcat formation: Don't do it.

Plenty of Demon locals in Kew that's for sure. Was there a lot when I was living in Kew for footy and UFC events, and also Parmageddon. Bills and Dolphins: How they got that spot I'll never know. Can't overturn without clear evidence though.

Let's do this remainder thing.. Miami 14 Buffalo 27 NY Giants 10 Minnesota 24 Baltimore 7 Cincinatti 24 Dallas 24 Tampa Bay 21

Yeah I read about the new rooftop bar today actually. Definitely an old fav, last time I was there was for our Alice game against Port. How bout the Jags and T-Lawrence!

Skinny Dog? Hoping for another Sunday game bad.

Damn forgot to tip, can I do the remaining games?

Looking ahead, I think it's going to be one of the best playoff series in years when it comes to excitement, surprises and matchups. There's some brilliant teams in there but no absolute dominant standout. The closest thing to that would be KC and at that stage they would be my pick to win it, the offense has changed a bit since they won it and in many ways you'd have to say it's stronger as a whole. Juju has been an excellent pick up and they have the QB with the tools and now experience to do it. You don't lead total points and yards for nothing. The Bills are well placed too but hoping Allen is healthy and we'll see how they come out of this emotional period. The Eagles have been great but there have been some cracks in recent weeks and will Hurts lack of games lately hurt them? Still giving them the nod for best NFC chance. Niners have been one of the more in-form sides, the front 7 is close to the best but I'm not sure our secondary as one of the few times we came up against good weapons (D Adams) we were smoked. Been very impressed with Purdy but there are weaknesses there to be exploited by defenses. Obviously thus being the team I watch the most I'll be the most critical. I hate to say it but don't sleep on the Cowboys, it's an even more balanced team going in to these playoffs and this loss they just had to Washington you'd have to think this puts a rocket up their you know what. Terrorising defense and roster wise I have them on par with SF. The Bengals are playing very well at the moment and I can see them catching fire again. In playoffs I'm all about quarterbacks and "Who is your QB and which QBs are you facing?" For this reason the AFC has a few collision courses but also for this reason I fancy the SB winner coming from there.

Another good comp in what was a very strange tipping season. Congrats @DeeSpencer on the win and thanks @Maccafor your efforts as always.

Expecting him to tear on the competition this season. An all Australian blazer is in his future.

Woo hoo!

Yeah I'd say they've both just hired the same specialist coach.

Chiefs, Vikings, Chargers

1. Kozzie signs 2. Kozzie signs 3. Kozzie signs

The Priest machine just keeps roaring away!

Saw him on William St in Perth CBD last night, he does not look good.

Cowboys, Dolphins, 49ers

We look like total fools

Hate that, not the easiest thing to replace quickly. FWIW my Asics Kayano runners came with the worst shoe laces that knotted up all the time, undoing them was hell so I replaced them. Not putting up with inferior shoe laces..

Well done

It's a good point but I'm much more focused on our ball movement than our pure leg speed.

Keep it as safe and festive as possible.

Clickity click bait! Still enjoyed it 😀
