Danger Mouse

Oh this isn't going to last long by the looks of it

I fancy the Texans here.

I post because I watch the games alone in the UK (usually at night this year) and need to get stuff off my chest for nerves reasons,. I tend not to be too critical of elite athletes doing things I couldn't do if I trained all my life. Same with coaches, I get a bit grotty about every difficult decision that goes wrong being treated as if it was obvious beforehand (like assuming A 50-yrd FG will inevitably lead to a punter's pulled hamstring). And, because I LIKE this team, I get a bit defensive of them when they are getting trashed. But generally I'm grateful for the company during games, and I learn a lot about the game from reading people here too. It's a good forum.

My gut is telling me it’s about to experience a familiar and more hurtful sporting punch right in that location. Because life is pain

Just for booting a ball into the sky How hard can it be?

If I had my time again, I think I'd train to be a punter. Great work if you can get it.

A good clean hit on a star QB is arguably worth the penalty. if you get it just right.

I started to worry that Elam was soft. Him getting run over on his INT drive was embarassing. Then the WR verbally violating him after the PI. Suddenly him being a good 'note-taker' at interview seemed to make sense. Maybe he's a classy thinker, with good hands ... but a bit of a 😽 when playing with the men. I'm reading a lot into a small bit of data there though. But if he is a softie, it would explain why he's not making his mark in the NFL despite clearly having game. Guts aren't something you can coach.

HC must be one of the difficult jobs in the world. I love how easy your average Walmart worker thinks it is.

He seemed relaxed and down to earth in his post game interviews. Which is great. He's becoming more comfortable in his skin post-season.

Any news on Bernard yet? I'm guessing he's done? Legs don't just seem to visibly snap like that and heal overnight. His towel over the head when leaving the field suggested to me he was in tears, knowing his season was done. I presume our pitch is like concrete in weather like this?

Mine is a naive opinion for a variety of reasons, but I think the whole 'QB slide' thing is nonsense anyway. If you come out to play on the battlefield, you should be fair game for defenders. Nobody is forcing you to cross the line of scrimmage.

Imagine making the playoffs yourself and the first thing you have to do is cry about another team making the playoffs too. I reckon it's fear

I thought both safeties were the unsung heroes, their leadership held the D together second half. Buffalo legends, both of them.

I absolutely love Romo. It might be cos I'm overseas and he doesn't grate so much. But I find him really insightful. Yes, he gets a bit excited and can be overly positive. But in our sports over here all commentators ever do is criticise, and Romo's positivity is a welcome change of pace. His chemistry with Jim Nantz is great and clearly genuine, IMO. I always like it when he's on our games. Plus, he saw us taking the number two seed when we had a 5% chance. He's been there, done it, isn't up his own a-hole and genuinely loves the sport he's a part of.

well, we might have a *couple* of excuses, if we have no linebackers fit. <shrug>

Like last night. No punter. Fine, only punt once the whole second half. But I'm being disingenuous. FGs are vital in playoffs. From 'bass-o-matic' to 'basshole' in less than a year.

This made me laugh. But that IS sort of the point of a fake. It wasn't a fake, not close. But justsayin.

It's a massive, massive ask. Especially with the three teams we'll need to beat to win the thing. But writing off this team is for losers. (Makes you realise, though, that you really need the first seed if you plan on winning this thing)

You’re late for your evening shift at the gas station.

this is sort of a ***** post, but i also sort of agree with the point too

up against a great o line, though

Awesome. And horrible - but we're used to that. Rudolph is a pretty decent QB for a back up. But you've got to give credit to this side. They keep standing up when you think they are down. Klein the latest 'next man up' hero in a season of them

prognosis not great for next week if injuries stand at MLB but at some point this team has to have earned the right to a bit of faith and trust

The Big Brave BIlls overcome adversity once again.
