Congratulations to Atlanta and the defense... finally coming around after being in the bottom in league so much, especially pass d.

Glad to face the Eagles rather than the Party Boaters.

Looking forward to the Panthers-Saints game. Either way, I win! :wizard:

That game went about how I hoped for once. We still settled for too many FGs, but at least we didn't make those crucial mistakes that have haunted us all season. I felt like that would be enough against an inexperienced Rams team. And the tackling was on point. Now we get to relax and watch the Saints and Panthers beat each other up. What a treat.

Thankful the Falcons showed up since I told many friends and family that they'd win outright as an underdog. I truly felt the experience was a big positive but also that Atlanta overall has more talent.

Yeah I was able to catch most of the Rams/Falcons game, wasn't that exciting though sadly.

Also the Leafs beat the Canucks in a shoot out so there's that...

I'll miss both damn games tomorrow since I work noon to 8:30 pm...UGH

sigh

what happened to rams? they looked out of sorts

Time for the Chiefs to trade Alex Smith, luckily for the Chiefs that Alex Smith had his best season this year and the playoff loss to the Titans wasn't really Alex Smith fault. Travis Kelce going down with the concussion had a lot to do that and the chiefs don't really have a pass rusher other than Justin Houston. Chiefs get the most trade value for Alex Smith right now during this offseason than in the past or they brought Alex Smith back next year they would lose trade value.

As far as the Rams they really have established Todd Gurley from the 1st drive and their turnovers on special teams really hurt them.

If the Jaguars don't bring their (A) game today, they are going down. Jaguars better be ready to play. Panthers over Saints is not an upset. If Bills win, we finish wild card weekend with 3 potential upsets.

Special teams put them behind the 8-ball early and forced them to play catch-up all evening. Atlanta's defense stood up well. Those two Falcon drives in the 3rd & 4th were killer drives (although I though that FG after the first one would come back to haunt them - it didn't).

Bortles missed two 5 yard throws. About what you'd expect.

everything going as expected with Blake Bortles :lol:

...early tho, he could pick it up

Otis Driftwood · Post #151 » by **Otis Driftwood** » Sun Jan 7, 2018 6:51 pm

Meanwhile, 9 other AFC teams are shaking their heads while watching Bortles.

I did not count Cleveland. They don’t have the right.

the play calling once the bills got inside the 5 is f*cking atrocious

Kick the field goal and end this misery.

It was damn near Linehan-like.

I am just surprised they have not picked off Bortles yet..he has absolutely nothing in his throws
