Yeah! The only team from New York won!

HUUUGGE Buffalo win, what a gong show the Jets are, utterly pathetic.

In a way I'm glad the Saints lost as had they won then only St Louis 3 point loss prevented me winning a near £2k 13 game accy

So who do we all fancy? For me the Patriots are looking awesome. And huge respect as also to Bronco's as well they played hit-and-miss vs Dolphins yet still won. Peyton is the man though. And shout out to RG3. I don't think I've seen a QB take as much punishment as him lately. He took shot after shot this week.

Rob Ryan must be worried about his job, Forsett ain't a bad player or anything but Saints made him look like Charles or Peterson out there.

Green Bay v NE for the Superbowl.

Green Bay v NE for the Superbowl.

I'd love to consider Green Bay but Rodgers has yet to fully convince me. They're playing unbelievable ball and well I have to admit I think Clay Matthews is 1 of best linebackers to play the game but I still wonder come playoffs what they'll be like.
It's a great week though with Thaksgiving and well the CFL Grey Cup too.
Hopefully Cornish can win his 1st Grey Cup as a starter in the shadows of where he grew up.

What more does he have to do? :lol: To me Rodgers is as good as it gets as a QB in this league, add to that Nelson, Cobb and Lacy and the fact that they get production from their back up WR's and TE's. Defence isnt as stacked but is still good enough

Fair play to Snoopy Snoopy Dog Dog for breaking my run.

Patriots looking really strong.

Go do job in playoffs. I'm not saying Rodgers is bad or Packers won't do business just I've others in front. It's like if the Cowboys go far Romo's demons come to life again too and until he confronts them he'll be doubted too. I think Rodgers needs another Lombardi to get in to that top top level. And look I don't doubt he will get there. I think he can leave a legacy bigger than Peyton and while he's broken plenty of records I just think at times the Packers have been tipsy turvy
Playoff football is a different beast to regular season. I can't wait to see who will crumble a bit.

.38 pts loss! Arrrrrrrrgh!

The NFC is a pile of steaming monkey feces, and the NFC South is the diarrheal brand of that feces.

Just on that. Can teams ever swap from NFC to AFC etc. Like in the college game you can swap obviously I know there's alot of regulations and all that but what way does NFL operate regards this.

They effectively can't switch, the NFL historically was actually a merger of two separate leagues, so the AFC is what used to be the old AFL. They started playing each other in Super Bowls in the late 60's than officially merged in the early 70's. Any expansion franchises thrown in since have been balanced. I suppose if a team moved it might open a possibility of a switch if the geography just got way too weird, but that would be a very isolated case.

The Seahawks moved from the AFC to the NFC in 2002 and are the only team to have played in both the AFC and NFC championship game.

It'd be great to see few changes to freshen up conferences. but it was like NBA so. Wasn't that a merger at 1 stage but like I'd love to see Giants vs Jets in regular season some time or Cowboys mix it with Pats in a conference

Think that was against moi.

Huzah for TY Hilton and the Eagles defence

The Packers have definitely been topsy turvy, but in regards to Rodgers, coming into the last round, he had the best stats out of every QB. Seriously, what more can he do?

I think we'll see just how good the Packers and Rodgers have been against the Patriots.

As I said it just opinion and I wasn't basing on just this season. Admittedly he's been brilliant this year

No, it's cool, I can see where you're coming from. When he's been awful this year, he's been awful, and the whole team has suffered. If he carries that form into play-off football, well...
