    Texans/Steelers/Bengals

    Meh, Ravens will beat anyone at home, I'm confident :cool:

    Away from home they are prone to shocking performances though :o


    Edt: forget the Broncos. Goes to show what I think of them lol

    I'm sorry for being so critical right now but that 3rd and 9, what a bad defensive call again. You got a premium receiver in Andre Johnson up against you, you got a rookie QB. The smart thing to do there is send the blitz and put the rookie under pressure. Giving Yates time there to find an elite receiver is a very bad call imo.
    Bengals must be reading this thread:cool:

    3rd and 9, blitz and sack. Easy game.

    Anyone else getting sick of Sky taking too long to cut back to the action and therefore missing some plays? It has happened 4 times so far that I've counted.

    How come? For me he is the best I've heard doing it since John Madden retired.

    sometimes he just over exaggerates the obvious, and is a bit cliched....colours it up too much....why isn't Collingsworth on it tonight....saw him at the half....anyway stick a fork in the Bengals....;)

    Collingsworth is going to be doing the Saints-Lions game later on.

    Wrong, NBC is doing this game, can understand the confusion though as both Mayock and Alex Flanagan both work for NFL Network too.

    Delighted for Arian Foster. Easily the best RB in the NFL at the moment and would have won the rushing title again if it wasn't for them dicky hamstrings at the start of the year.

    Much better game next week in Baltimore also.

    Very happy with that result to be honest.

    As I said earlier, they'll give us a very tough game, but I'd rather play the Texans over the Steelers any day of the week. Also, with it being a home game we'd have to be confident of getting the win.

    Roll on next Sunday :cool:

    Looking forward to the Lions @ Saints next. How do we all see this one going? Saints by 7 for me in what should be an exciting shoot-out.

    Delighted for Texans fans and players like Andre Johnson to finally have a playoff win and now the chance to host a divisional game.
    Texans ran the ball well, got efficient play from Yates and then created turnovers on defence while stopping the run, thats is what playoff football is all about!

    Don't get me wrong. The Lions are definitely going to bring it to them and it should be a cracker of a game but I still see the Saints winning.

    Detroit have done nothing with the two turnovers from the Saints, one would have to think they need to score from those opportunities when presented.

    Very enjoyable game so far.

    If the Saints can stop turning it over they should win this one, closer than I thought it would be.
