For the record, Sky don't seem to have announced their Sunday 6pm and 9ish games.

Sky ran a public vote for the sunday 6pm game anyway, results not released yet

Ah, I had forgotten that.

Chiefs @ Panthers
Broncos @ Saints
Falcons @ Eagles
Vikings @ Redskins

The above games all look interesting in the context of playoffs.

Chiefs need a win to stay in the hunt for the division. Their schedule from now on is hard enough so they will be looking behind their shoulders in the wild card race if they don't win. Carolina can only afford to drop two more games max, so a home game like this is a must.

Broncos are in a similar position as the Chiefs; they won't want to let Oakland get too far away. The Saints have actually developed into a playoff contender. Their offence is studly.

Falcons season could go any way from here. They could get a bye in the playoffs if they put their best foot forward. A division win would be progress but who would back them away to Dallas or Seattle? And if they lose games like this one they may even struggle for a division in Carolina and New Orleans continue to improve. The Eagles simply have to win this. It is a very tough matchup for them, but their runin is so hard, this is actually one of their more winnable games.

Vikings are killing me. The thing that makes me most uncomfortable is that even though the O-line has been bad, the running game, QB play and receivers have all regressed. The defence is still good, but not as good as it was in the first 5 games. They need a win badly. I don't know that Washington is the easiest place to look for one now. They have a savage O-line and if they can get their running game to a reasonable standard, they could outscore Minnesota. They are well in the hunt for a wild card.

Some other great games later on Sunday and Monday.

Cowboys @ Steelers
Seahawks @ Patriots
Bengals @ Giants

I have a sneaky feeling the Steelers and Seahawks might win their games. Simply because they are good teams, with explosive offence and defence respectively. And their opponents arguably can afford a loss and I just have this feeling they will go all out to win these games.

Who knows what will happen in New Jersey. Bengals are the most difficult team to work out in the NFL this season. I still wouldn't rule them out for their division, even a playoff win. But equally they could end up with just six wins this season. And the Giants are a good team, apart from being terrible at running the ball.

Basically I am pumped up this weekend.

Pumped.

The real men are the ones who can stand a full browns game.

(Just kidding, they're the best winless team I've ever seen. Damning with faint praise I know, but they have put a couple of talented pieces on the board this year. Hope they don't panic and blow it up again, which is why they're in this situation to begin with)

poldebruin

Well at least it's Collinsworth and Michals. Nice sack there from Collins, Browns have gotten a nice rush on Flacco so far.

....agreed, I thought they were tanking, but they've put on a surprisngly competitive effort most weeks.

poldebruin

bad luck for Cleveland, great diving interception in the endzone, ruled down on the one yard line, now backed into their own endzone. Tough break as i thought the defenders momentum carried him in and he wasn't touched.

poldebruin

I must be the only person in Ireland watching this game! At least it's close. Browns Defense are impressive tonnight, although it is only the Ravens.

poldebruin

Well wheels came off for the Browns completely, went from 7-3 up with 3 seconds to go in the first half to losing 28-7. Ravens are a not very good 5-4 but stay in the hunt for the North and a wildcard.

For the Browns, that looks like their best remaining chance of winning a game this season gone. Really could go 0-16 now.

eagle eye

Well unless the Steelers wake up from their slumber the Ravens are going to win the division, Bengals don't look up to much and well the Browns are just so, so bad as we witnessed tonight.

paulie21

Looks like 0-16 for Browns. Stills have Bengals twice, Steelers and Ravens, Chargers and Bills

thomond2006

How do you go out with 12 players on defence on the first play?! It just looks so disorganised.

Eric Weddle has been some pick up for the Ravens.

claresmurf

I'm surprised that Kessler was taken out of the game I thought he was doing well. Jamie Collins looked really good last night, if the browns can sign him at the end of the year they will have a person to build their defense around.Good to see Joe haden back healthy he is a shutdown corner when he is fit.
As for the Ravens, the defense was very good and flacco did well in the second half after a poor first half. He found a lot of success with the no huddle offense.

dfx-

The Browns are much better than 0-9, some very close games and some ridiculous ways to lose (20-0 up on Baltimore earlier). But they were a long way off on Thursday night.

adrian522

You can class me as a browns fan for the rest of the season anyway.

adrian522

Also they are 0-10 and I don't really see a win on their schedule

And they still won't end up with a franchise QB.

AbusesToilets

I wonder if there is a QB worth trading the Brown's 1st for next season?

There are some serious defensive players coming out next season who are worth trading up for such as Jabrill Peppers and Jonathan Allen. Browns could do very well because there are lots of teams that will be interested in getting one of those two.

Until we see who declares I don't think we can talk about QBs. I wouldn't be willing to spend big on the likes of Deshaun Watson anyways.

A Happy Death

Bryant or McManus?

Giving up big plays is what the Packers D do best.

The consistency there is admirable.

Rodger's sacked and fumbles. Packers recover

thomond2006

Pick 6 for the Bucs

BoJack Horseman

And the Titans go 14-0 up with a trick play.

Massive talent problem in GB outside of Rodgers. Surely the GM is on the hot seat?

Thats an exageration considering the season he is having.

Was targetted 14 times against the Raiders for 14 catches and 3 TD (or something similar).
Good read on that pick 6 though.

BoJack Horseman

oooh.... lovely TD from the Jets...

Loves me a lateral.

Packers whole staff need to be worried for their jobs, this is toxic viewing

Chan went deep into the bag of tricks for that one! Good drive from Petty, started at their own 1

DDC1990

Whoever signed Cecil Shorts for the Bucs should be fired.

I dont think he even has a catch and lets an easy one through his hands for an INT deep in Bucs territory.

Edit: 2 catches for the year. My god!

Dear sweet Jeebus..... that was so obvious!

You could see a second after the snap what would happen and that big TE could have walked on his hands into the end zone

Disastrous defending from the Packers-D

helimachoptor

Titans getting it done

Paully D

I know I'm saying this every week now, but if the Jaguars end up committing to Blake Bortles then it's going to be one of the most stupid decisions in recent years.

raze_them_all_

packers down 21-0

thomond2006

DeMarco Murray seems to be having an amazing season but there's little talk of him. Is it due to the team he plays for?

21-0, incredible scoreline.

poldebruin

Titans laying the wood on the packers today. Seems to be lots of interceptions around the league today.

BoJack Horseman

Stats from Q1..... bleak for any Packer fan.

thomond2006

Kyle Long carted off.

thomond2006

FFS 3rd turnover from Cutler.

The defence has been good so far.
