    Jesus who'd try to be picking games these days. What entertianment. Watched Steelers Ravens - big effort. Rodgers looks good at 42 FFS. Henry is still a meast, but didn't get it done when it counted. Isiah Likely had the ball in the endzone and somehow dropped it after 2 steps - and that's all she wrote baby.

    What a comp. Good teams going to miss playoffs this year. Colts in freefall and their window slammed shut with no first round draft picks until 2028

      College football play-offs are fixed too.
      Top of the bracket much as expected.
      Shit fight at the bottom tho.
      Notre Dame got bumped out at the death, after being in the bracket for most of the way.

      I don’t mind conf champs getting in, but Tulane (20) and JMU (25) are probably guna get smashed in the first round.
      At least this year the rankings count, and they are in the draw as the 11 and 12 cedes.
      It’s an issue, the teams ranked 11 to 16 (who aren’t in), would probably deal to those two quite easily, and maybe even to some of those ranked 1 to 10.

      Unlike another football finals comp that did their draw recently, the top two ranked teams are ceded to meet in the final.
      The rankings do count in College Football (sort of) when the draw is done.

      They are talking about a 16 team play-off for next year rn.
      Has to happen, because those teams (11 to 16) getting left out are all well performed.
      Money probably the only sticking point (as usual).

        And another College Football HC goes down
        But this time . . . "with cause"
        No mega pay-out this time.

          Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention this year after 16-13 loss at home to the Chargers and wins by the Bills, Texans & Jaguars. To rub salt into the wound, Mahomes went down with what looked like a serious knee injury late in the game.

          On another note, Philip Rivers is back in the NFL. His first start in 1800 days.

            another fucked up day. Mahomes officially misses the play offs (which brings up the best Tom Brady stat ever, he never played a down in the NFL where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs). Patriots lose again. Right now the Seahawks, the Rams and the Broncos are down.

                Mahomes torn ACL.

                GB Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons also suffered a torn ACL in their loss to Denver.

                  Going to call it now, Kelce and Reid to both retire at season's end and the Chiefs will be in a new era next season.

                  Not surprised they missed finals but to lose Mahomes to an ACL only adds more salt to the wounds.

                    I actually had a multi on the Packers to make the Super Bowl at the start of the season looking at the TAB app before but with Parsons out I think it might be a bridge too far.

                      Rams still look the best of the bunch, but Adams seemed to do a hammy today which could hurt them. They are healthy, good coach, good QB, good skill position players.

                        Kelce is a shell of his prime. Retirement probably a good bet, especially if Mahomes misses a chunk of the season (haven't seen how serious it is, but if it's bad he'll struggle to be ready for the start of next season).

                        Not sure about Reid. Does he want to get to 300 regular season wins? Probably needs another 2-3 seasons to get there.

                          Literally the worst call I have seen from the refs.

                          This was ruled a touchdown. Extraordinary. Lions blew the game anyway, but man this was a shocker.

                            What a game today. Perhaps the game of the season.

                            Rams looked a class above leading 30-14 deep into the 4th quarter but a huge punt return TD for the seahawks changed the momentum.

                            Fascinating reprecusions too. A number of teams can be the number 1 seed in the nfc for the playoffs now.

                            49ers - Seahawks in the final week could have a lot on the line.

                              @KiwiMurph cracking game. Coming back from 16 down in the 4th is nuts.

                              And going for 2 in OT is just awesome. Big dangling clanking balls and it paid off.

                                  49ers v Colts has been entertaining. Purdy and Rivers have both played great, even more impressive because Rivers is 44 and back after 5 years in retirement. SF will leave Indy with a very professional win. The shorthanded SF defence are responding to Robert Saleh's guidance, despite a league lowest sack total. SF can win out and grab the #1 seed, which will be unbelievable. But they have to get past the Bears and Seattle which will be tough. Both games are at home

                                    @canefan This is a very enjoyable 49ers season. Overcoming injuries and just refusing to go away.

                                    Brock Purdy and Shanahan were dialed in today.

                                    49ers already confirmed for the playoffs with Lions losing yesterday.

                                      The 9ers are cooking. No Kittle? Lose Trent Williams early? No problem. The Purdy Williams duel was a real treat, Brock had another fine game scoring two running TDs and a clever assist TD in sight of the goal line. The Bears had a chance to win the game but the 9ers D kept them out. SF will host archrivals the Seahawks for the #1 spot in the NFC and home field advantage for the playoffs and the SB

                                        @canefan Purdy is on an absolute heater these last few weeks. No sign of the turf toe issues. That touchdown that he found the fullback on was masterful.

                                        Shanahan, Purdy, McCaffrey and the 49ers o-line are absolutely dialed in right now
