How the hell did we win that game?
I must say, I think it was more of game where Philly lost rather than us just playing really well. Niners did enough to get the win, but Philly shot themselves in the foot constantly with penalties and dropped balls.

Once again we had issues against the run. Purdy throwing two picks, one of which was incredibly bad considering he had another man open. O-line was terrible, making no space for CMC. Pass rush was non-existent. Kittle goes off injured early. And yet even with all that we still win. I couldn’t be happier right now.

I think we have gone as far as we can now, tbh. Seattle is a better team than Philly and they completely smothered us in defence just last week. We are walking wounded and our defence is gash. If we find a way to win this next game then Shanahan has to be the best coach in the NFL.

So f**king sad for Kittle. Will probably miss most of next season as well.

Roger's Steelers the GOAT
free agent now
any franchise interested ?
Only way Rodgers makes sense if a team has a rookie QB who they see as the future but isn't ready to start and they want him to sit behind Rodgers for a year. So Raiders maybe?
Rodgers needs to sign that 1 day contract with Green Bay so he can retire as a Packer.

My picks for the divisional are:
Bills over Broncos -Go the Broncos, but I can't have nice things even when I wish it for someone else.

Seattle over 49ers - 49ers resemble the knight out of a Monty Python skit at this stage, somehow keep fighting but that Seattle D is insane. Seattle just needs to convince Darnold ghosts aren't real.

Patriots over Texans - This should be hell of a game though. That Texans D is Superbowl quality. Stroud though needs to figure out how hands work and not fumble the ball a bunch of times. Would like the Texans to win though, so that's why it's not going happen.

Bears over Rams. Rams look stronger on paper, but the game isn't played on paper. Bears seem to keep making these great escapes and the Rams blew a massive lead to Seattle so yeah...

which team deserves a Super bowl
more than others ?
Seahawks and Broncos
been the best this year surely
A Texans V Seahawks SB could be interesting. I mean it would be a turnover fest, but I think the game would keep us guessing.
Would also be fun to watch the winning QB get the SB MVP after committing 5 turnovers because only QB's can be the Superbowl MVP apparently.

I don't think a Seattle V Denver sequel would be much different from the original though,

Bo Nix out of the AFCCG game with a busted ankle. Wouldn't know it from watching that last drive. Gotta wonder when it happened.

Tomorrows Texans Patriots game feels like the real AFCCG now. That Broncos defence hasn't been great if they're not getting turnovers
