NFL 2021!

[g wings]

What a game. Shame about the result

[TurningMonster]

Bills  

 

Seriously though, what is with the OT rules?

[p1nseeker]

Gutted for Buffalo ☹️

[Harrisown]

I feel like you could litterly flip a coin and have either of these teams win and I guess that’s exactly what happened.

To be honest this should have been the super bowl.

[g wings]

The Tyreek Hill TD was insane. If that happened in a Madden game people would moan that his pace and athleticism were unrealistic.

[Baring]

You should be allowed to try for a TD to level it up.

[kiroquai]

The fact that the Bills are out after that is so, so unfair and yet, at the same time, so Buffalo. That franchise has no luck at all.

 

That game will be remembered for decades and more. Possibly one of the greatest of all-time. A few years ago I desperately wanted my Browns to take Mayfield over Allen as I was convinced that Baker would be the much better QB. Not at all ashamed to admit I got that wrong.

 

That said, I am sure if we'd have gotten Allen we'd have found a way to ruin him too.

To Josh Allen's credit he completely reworked his throwing mechanics after some accuracy issues. He's completely turned it around.

 

That was one of the best games I've ever seen. Fantastic.

[Plissken]

I watched the YouTube highlights not knowing the score - I have no real dog in any NFL fight, but the Mrs studied in Buffalo and supports any of their teams, so when Allen zipped that TD in with 13 seconds to go, I let out a "Yes! They've done it!".

 

Little did I know...

Personally I just want a Super bowl that doesn't have Brady or Mahomes, or god forbid both of them, in it again. I don't really care who it is as long as it isn't them.

 

I can see it with Brady, he has been there a million times but Mahomes ? I know he gets alot of media hype but he is an amazing player. I can't think of any off field controversy either. He seems like a nice guy. At just 26, I think you should get used to seeing him in Superbowls tbh.

[McFly]

Wow the Bills/Chiefs was brilliant. How devastating to score with 13s left and to go to OT? The Chiefs are great team but there's something stopping me really liking them, was desperate for Bill's to win.

 

Still I'm a 49ers guy and I'd love to see them win it again. Having just beat the Rams Iike the chances but it's a different game and mentality this time.

 

Bengals v Chiefs though could be closer than expected, Burrow is on-fire just now and they beat KC recently also iirc.

[taurusnipple]

Hoping for a Bengals/Niners game myself, but that’s going to be a reach.

Having watched the Chiefs do brilliantly for a few seasons I understand being disappointed the new/underdog franchise was knocked out (I was anyway) but I don't want to take Paddy Mahomes for granted, he's sensational. Plus Allen's time will surely come and he'll get a few pops at the SB.

 

I can't stop thinking about that game the other night, it was probably the best sporting event I've ever seen where I didn't have a dog in the fight. Mahomes and Allen were like Godzilla v Kong

I’m looking for UK NFL fans who have a particularly interesting story about how they became fans or how the NFL has changed their lives. If this sounds like you (or someone you know) send me a DM or something and you could end up in a book next year.

[Mallet]

ESPN is reporting that Brady is retiring.

[SpagMasterSwift]

His dad says otherwise..,

[Harrisown]

If I was Tom Brady

Spoiler

I’m not Tom Brady 

I would announce my last season before it started. I think that’s the legends way out.

Get to make the most of it then.

He specifically said he didn't want that:

[Harrisown]

One more season Tom 

[glb]

If that is indeed it for Brady, then hats off. He stood head and shoulders above some pretty elite QBs throughout his career.

 

Seven rings? Doubt that will be surpassed in our lifetimes.

[McFly]

So it seems. Going to Tampa and winning, was a huge boost to his already great legacy. 

 

The only comparison I can make is when Valentino Rossi left super-dominant Honda to also rans Yamaha and won back-to-back titles

[kiroquai]

Chiefs looked somewhat ominous for a while but the Bengals are beginning to get a bit feisty now!

[Jackson]

Noooo, cheifs to get the ball first in OT

[Headache]

Are we sure these games aren't scripted? Another super close game!

[Jackson]

Interception!!!

[taurusnipple]

Closer to my Bengals, Niners Superball! 

[taurusnipple]

Bengals really hung in there, good job this team. 

[John0]

What a game! 

[p1nseeker]

WOW! Guess I got a team to root for in a fortnight. Love it!

[Harrisown]

Good to see the Bengals get a break.

This next game promises to be great but we’ll see….

This years play offs have been the best ever.
