@Bovidae Green Bay defense getting destroyed on 3rd/4th down.

Bovidae

@KiwiMurph You give Brady protection and time and he will find a receiver.

A terrible missed call for holding leading to the INT as well.

KiwiMurph

Reminds me a lot of rugby and the knack of scoring just before and just after halftime.

Bovidae

The GB home crowd has been completely taken out of the game.

KiwiMurph

Pack are back in it. Could be a shootout 4th Q coming up.

barbarian

But now GB come storming back with two TDs in the 3rd. Epic 4th quarter coming up here.

Bovidae

Defence is dominating in the 4th Q.

Bovidae

The Bucs get to play at home.

Packers should have went for a TD on that 4th down.

KiwiMurph

@Bovidae That's one of the worst calls you will ever see.

Rodgers legitimately might want out of Green Bay now.

Bovidae

Speaking of Rodgers, he should have kept on running instead of forcing a pass to Adams.

Brady throws 3 INTs and still gets the win.

barbarian

The Bucs D won that game, super impressive performance. Rodgers will be regretting some things, but for them their leaky secondary in the first half killed them. You can't give Brady that sort of lead and expect to win.

mariner4life

Tjat Tampa safety (whitehead?) Hits like a truck. They'll be hoping he's fir.for the SB

mariner4life

Bills defence very disciplined so far

barbarian

Chiefs just clicking into gear now. Looks a bit ominous for the Bills.

mariner4life

The Chiefs are great fun to watch

KiwiMurph

Brady may be the GOAT but Mahomes is the best QB in the league right now by a country mile.

KiwiMurph

Bills are going to have to take some risks on O and D to have any chance.

barbarian

Yeah they've opted for two FGs on their last two drives, and it's going to kill them.

You don't beat the Chiefs in 3 point increments, especially when their offence is looking pretty good.

Young legs means Mahomes always stays alive.

Plenty of niggle to end the game.

The build up to this Super Bowl is going to be off the charts...

hey Stephen A

what does this weekend mean for Aaron Rodgers' legacy? mmmm? what was that?

Brady just wins in January. Throw 3 picks? no worries, win.

KiwiMurph

Hard to see Chiefs being beaten in the AFC in the short term.

Perhaps if Colts or Miami Dolphins land a top QB - otherwise it's all Chiefs.

The chatter on ESPN is that Rodgers will leave GB. Where will he go? Perhaps it's time to go full circle, head home and play for the team of your childhood the 49ers, the team who passed on you in the draft? 🙏

Rodgers leaving has already been shut down by Packers/Rodgers. Was just Rodgers venting after a tough loss.

Wow. Texans have hired David Culley.

A 65 year old first time head coach. He's never been an offensive coordinator but he is the passing game coordinator for Ravens (they have the last-ranked passing attack in the league). He was also WR coach for Chiefs one year when not one Chief WR had a touchdown. Has been in the NFL since 1994.

Cannot see Watson wanting to hang around.

Lol.

Well at least it wasn't Josh McCown.

mariner4life

that's... that's... i don't know what that is.

does that organisation actually want to fail?

Yeah, but he's white... So... Ok?

Train. Wreck.

@canefan it's great for KC, but there's some goddamn eejits running NFL franchises these days.

How good is Andy Reid's coaching tree? He's awesome, and just keeps on going. Now I want a cheeseburger 🙂

Eric could do worse than ride the wave with Andy then take over, as long as Mahomes stays on top. Especially if the Chiefs are paying him well

Trade officially requested. it's gonna be a feeding frenzy

Cyclops

I still think Watson staying is the most likely outcome. But definitely odds have dropped on a trade.

Bovidae

The ESPN story says Watson asked for a trade weeks ago.

Yeah which makes the timing interesting. Its presumably Watson's camp trying to build pressure. He's also apparently not going to be fussy about teams - there's only a short list that he'd veto.

The Texans are apparently not returning calls. This is starting to feel a bit like Jamal Adams. The Texans will stick to their guns and hold Watson (he might have more leverage than the average player but the Texans are still in a stronger overall position), but if/when someone makes the right offer it'll happen fast.

If Adams was 2 firsts and a 3rd, I expect the Texans hold out for 4 or 5 firsts depending on what else is in the package and how high the first is this year. Jets and Dolphins (and in theory the Jags) might be able to get away with 3 since they have such a high first.

If the Texans get a haul like that this could end up being the a Herschel Walker moment for the them. Or we'll all be reminded of Jimmy Johnson's assessment that it wasn't the trade that was good value, it was getting the draft picks right.

mariner4life

Lions and rams swapping QBs

KiwiMurph

@mariner4life Lions take on Goff's huge contract meanwhile Rams give up 2 x first round picks and a 3rd round pick.

mariner4life

@KiwiMurph interesting trade. Stafford I think is a very good QB stuck at a terrible team

That said, he hasn't made a bad team good, so has he had the lions as an excuse?
