Good game Cleveland. Well deserved after so many years outside of the playoffs!
I’ll save my French Toast recipe for the victory over Liverpool in the 17th!

I know the Steelers are down, but one thing I notice about Big Ben is how often he puts his receivers in a position where they either have to contest dangerously or where they have to accept punishment to make a catch. In hockey they are called "suicide passes" and Roethlisberger does it a lot

Big Ben with 500+ yards and an NFL record for completions and still lose the game. With the usual Pittsburgh defense, you’d think it would be a win :houllier:

English football it’s a hospital pass. I agree, he’s not the same QB.
Again, congrats to Cleveland

Good luck to all our friends across the pond, as both the hype games next weekend are the late ones.

It's not like Rams @ Packers and Browns @ Chiefs are bad games (genuinely think the Browns have an upset in them), but yeah Brady vs Brees and Allen vs Lamar is where it's at.

Hoping for Rodgers vs Brady and Mahomes vs Lamar in the Conference finals :drool:

Average age of the AFC QBs is 24.5 - that of the NFC QBs is 36.8

Just seen the highlights... wow!! Great effort by the Browns considering their Covid situation. Next week’s games should be very good.

Big chance that Brees is gonna be sent into retirement by either Brady, Rodgers or Mahomes. Not bad for your last NFL game.

Anyone but the Rams. Tampa/Bills would be nice.

Edit - Saints can piss off as well after that call we got for daring to touch Brees.

Should be two good games in NFC.

Both Bucs and Saints were really unconvincing despite paper dominance. Think it's an even game.
Rams D vs Packers O should be intriguing. Donald vs one of the best O-Lines, Jalen Ramsey vs Davante Adams...lot of interesting matchups.

I think Saints and Packers will go through.

The two decisions to not go for it on 4th and short by old school dinosaurs really cost their teams a shot at winning. Tomlin’s decision was especially puzzling, all the momentum was on Pittsburgh’s side. Hope this becomes a lesson.

The other one was Vrabel, wasn't it? He's usually agressive when need be and almost always on the money with his game management.

Dolphins would be interested imo. #3 and #18 picks plus Tua for DeShaun.

I think it was Schefty that said a source told him Watson’s anger level after the Hopkins trade was a 2: now it’s a 10.

That would be Tua, Penei Sewell and possibly a great WR prospect. No thanks, that's a very poor return for a player of Watson's calibre.

The trouble is the Dolphins don't really have a QB. One is very old and nearing retirement and the other is very young and increasingly seen as a bust by the fan base, who see what a guy like Herbert is doing for the Bolts, and want some of that as well.
