Von miller out for season with torn ACL

 

Just bought a Bengals jersey to wear to the game. Extra large boys...

 

There ya go. We are going as well.

 

Blind optimism....made even harder by the fact I watched it with a Bengals fans....nah worries always had a soft spot for Bengals, they needed the W more than we did....

 

ended up being quite close, left a lot of points of the bench...Well Played...already looking forward to defending my crown

Big heads up to the organisers.....was fun, enjoyed it....hopefully we can get a few more next year....

 

Crazy end to the game last night. Falcons were on I think it was 2 and goal on the 10 yard line and were 3 points behind with 2 minutes to go. Interception led to a 90 yard run for a touchdown to the 49ers.

 

Well done to the fantasy winner, should definitely do that again next season, good laugh.

 

Rodgers is back on Sunday, just in time.

 

come on pack! rodgers is back, let's slay some bears! GOPACKGO

 

Watching Cleveland @ Pittsburgh Steelers; Mike Tomlin is sporting a jacket of the style last worn by Axel Foley.

 

If there's a way to * things up you can bet the Dolphins will find it

 

nerves are kicking in now, * i hate the bears and their fanbase! come on pack, we got Rodgers. let's not blow this

 

Unfortunately I too was watching this steaming pile! Here is my view for most of the game.

 

Mon Cardinals get the finger out

 

So so nervous for the eagles tonight. Win or lose we've proved everyone wrong.

Come on you Birds!

 

Holy crap, some mad finishes again tonight.

Rodgers brilliant on the final drive, wouldn't have happened with Flynn playing.

 

YES! so happy! NFC north champs baby, i dont know why i doubt Green Bay, they always prove me wrong haha

 

The Ravens will be back...

Kind of glad I can watch the Playoffs as a neutral and just enjoy it! Not much of a silver lining though

Backing the Bengals in the AFC even after today, I've always quite liked them. Backing the Eagles in the NFC. Come on the underdogs! As long as the Pats or Broncos don't win.

 

An insipid end to what has been a thoroughly disappointing season for the Ravens. Our offense started out bad and never at any stage got things on track. I kept hoping each week that signs of improvement would start to appear but it just never happened.

The frustrating thing for me is that player wise we are better than an 8-8 team. It's bad coaching and scheming that has led us to fail.

Personally I would like to see Juan Castillo and Jim Caldwell fired, possibly Dean Pees too. The mess Castillo has made of our offensive line and running game is unforgivable, the play calling of Caldwell is unimaginative and predictable and our lack of pass rush when we had Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil on the field is an indictment of Dean Pees conservative 'bend but don't break' philosophy. Changes are needed to right this ship but if the right changes are made then we can be a play-off team once more next season.
