Got to be Rams hasn’t it? They’re better than the Bengals in almost every position. The roster is unbelievable and they’ve come close recently so the experience is there. I’d trust McVey to out coach Taylor too.

Can’t see anything more than LA winning by at least one score. I’ll be rooting for the Bengals though.

Don't get the Taylor hype. Been panned for last 2 seasons for making all sorts of mistakes particularly during games.
Then with an elite QB he has a 10-7 record and he's apparently become another McVay wunderkind.

He's shite, nothing innovative at all.

If they actually want to turn into a force then they'd bin him off but obviously that would be impossible with a win tonight.

Awful officiating from a terrible crew at the end. Another set that have no consistency within the 2 minute warning. That flag for the holding on Krupp wouldn't have come all the rest of the game.

Makes it all seem very suspicious.

Who won

 

[CCFCSteve]

3pts behind - 4th & 1 - game on the line - Let's go shotgun ...

…. said no one

Three downs to get a yard

Great, close, nervy game though

Kupps the man. Deserved MVP this year, stats were unbelievable

 

[CovBrummie94]

Half time show was good

 

[tisza]

Close game finishes off an incredible post-season.
Rams defensive class showed in the end.
Refs inconsistent as usual (obvious face mask by Higgins on Ramsay for the TD). Needs some serious work before next season.

Next season already looks exciting so many teams just need 1 or 2 pieces - Rams a RB, Buccs, Colts, Panthers, Steelers,Browns, 49ers & Broncos a QB (or a better one) , Titans a TE/WR, Bengals O line, Bills & Chiefs pass rusher. Eagles can take another step forward with 3 1st round picks.

My main take was 'God, they look middle-aged now'. Which then reminded me that I am too.

I "hate" it when they keep wishing members of 1987 team happy birthday on the Facebook group - then I see they are in their mid 60s now!!!!

Mexico City - Cardinals
Munich - Bucs
London - Jags, Saints and Packers.

Good selection of teams. The NFL really are going for it. The Packers were always going to cave in the end. I know the weather is a clear issue but guessing they want the Superbowl?

 

[tisza]

Rodgers shows it was all about the money. That's a monstrous contract Packers have sold their soul for - signs of desperation.
Packers going to the new Saints in a couple of years even with the cap going up.
Adams ain't going to be happy if they franchise tag him now because they can't afford to pay him.

Russell Wilson traded to Denver, end of what was a pretty spectacular era.

Russell Wilson traded to Denver, end of what was a pretty spectacular era.

Huge trade though. 3 players, 2 1sts,2 2nds and a couple of other picks for Wilson and a 4th
Rodgers starts the qb carousel. Was hoping Denver would come in for Cousins (for a much lower price than they paid for Wilson).
Apparently players are lock, Harris and Fant.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really hope Washington got Wilson. Oh well, move on to hoping Watson isn't a sex offender.

Heard Washington had offered 2 firsts and more for Wilson.
Watson situation unlikely to improve soon.
Kirk says hi and misses Washington if you need a qb

I’d rather watch Heineke try and fail than Kirk take a knee instead of spike the ball.

2 firsts 2 seconds and a starter apparently.

Best job in football - Raiders DC. Facing Mahomes, Wilson and Herbert 6 times a season

 

[tisza]

If Rodgers really is getting 50 million a year then rookie qb even more essential. QB contracts even more a cap killer now.
You either have an elite QB on big bucks , a rookie on small bucks or a completely overpaid qb.
The NFC AFC qb imbalance even bigger now.

 

[tisza]

Love this part of the season. Combine, cap deadline, free agency then the draft

 

[ajsccfc]

Bobby Wagner being released now

 

[Liquid Gold]

Carson fucking Wentz at $28m

 

[tisza]

Carson fucking Wentz at $28m

 

[Liquid Gold]

Cousins still on offer?

 

[Otis]

Carson fucking Wentz at $28m

What?????



What on earth are they thinking there?

They obviously don't watch the NFL Show with Osi.

 

[tisza]

Cousins still on offer?

Drive him there myself
Seriously 2 3rds for a player Colts may even have cut!!
Colts probably going to turn those 2 3rds into Jimmy G. Then spend another year telling everyone they have a Superbowl roster but for a QB - having spent a fortune in free agency and ending up with another 9 win season.
Plus Wentz still has a reputation for being toxic in the dressing room. Everything always someone else's fault

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'd rather Winston or Trubisky for no picks and a cheaper deal than this.

Like you said they could have waited for him to be cut.

Organisation is trash.

Still think Winston could be good . Showed signs of improvement at Saints before injury plus that Buccs scheme was so hit and miss before they bolstered the o line for Brady.

Reason Cooper leaving Cowboys.
Got into a bust up with Prescott after the 49ers playoff lost and called him a " black Kirk Cousins"

 

[B-Ban-Boogie]

ooooo yeh!!

 

[usskyblue]

 

[Otis]

He's going to do a Putin isn't he and stay in charge until 2036.

 

[tisza]

ooooo yeh!!

Determined to block Rodgers getting a Superbowl.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Had a feeling he'd be like Favre and reverse his decision. Maybe seeing Ronaldo at the weekend made him realise there's life in the old GOAT yet.

Or maybe he just wanted to enjoy seeing what everyone said about him when he retired?

Favre just wanted to stick it to the Packers for bringing in Rodgers. Fake retired so he could sign for the Vikings as Packers wouldn't let him sign for them season before. Had one great season for us then threw a dumbass interception in the Championship game against the Saints which cost them the game in last minute of regular time. Lost in OT. But Brett was happy as he beat Rodgers twice in regular season.

Think Brady just looks at NFC and sees how weak it is and a decent chance of another SB appearance.
