Josh Allen is just so much fun, through the good and the bad. That inexplicable lateral was mental too see.

Bills gonna Bill

f**k all to do with Tom Gabriel. Zero weapons . He will walk this year , 2 year rental for a team with skill players and a good OL..

Great to see the Patriots out. A breath of fresh air. Not being able to stop the run will hurt them badly. Tannehill hadn't to do anything to beat them. Houston woke up just in time against a committed and well coached Bills. Texans have much better players though and it told eventually. JJ Watt - some man all the same. Hard to see either of last night's winners repeating the trick next week though.

Earlier in the season, there was the possibility of having Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon and maybe even Gronk on board.
By the end they couldn't get it done from 1 yard with 3 running attempts.

So Tom didn't throw the INT that prompted my post?

Good to know

Vikings 20-10 up on the saints coming to the end of the third quarter. It would be a big upset if they hold on.

David McKeown · January 05, 2020, 09:27:37 PM

Wow. Its like the Vikings are the Saint's Kryptonite in the last three years.

Why would you not review that Rudolph catch and then confirm the call? It's the Saints ffs! Don't think there was enough to overturn it but by not even choosing to review it just opens up possibility of accusations of bias.

I thought all scoring plays were reviewed??

gallsman · January 05, 2020, 09:33:53 PM

The scoring play, the catch, is auto reviewed. Caught, two feet in bounds etc.

The decision not to call OPI isn't.

Massive blow to Eagles losing Wentz so early but Seahawks deserving winners. I fancy Minnesota to put it up to the niners next week.

I love Wildcard weekend, usually throws up soe exciting matches and this did not disappoint. Texans/Bills game was a cracker. Just shows that no matter what plays are called on the sideline it still usually comes down to the star names to change the game, Watt/Watson and Hopkins. JJ Watt is an absolute legend, if it were not for his injury troubles over the last few years I firmly believe he would be talked about as the greatest defensive player of all time.

Special shout out for Taysom Hill, some match to end up on the losing side! Its great watching him in the game, you never know what is coming up.
