Due to the Saints QB and home field advantage ... :yep:

I thought the Panthers were going to make a comeback for a moment there after their QB got sacked and hit in the head and dragged off the field. He comes back on and throws a touch down pass ... one missed field goal kept the Panthers out of reach of a win.

Alabama vs Georgia in Atlanta for the big NCCA championship game for number one tonight 8pm est on ESPN :yep:

Read about it yesterday(Monday) ´cause I couldn't see it to the end. That's one of the negative side living so many hours from where the game is played.

Mostly they show two NFL game on Sundays around 2200-2230 local time and then after midnight.

The game after midnight is the one I mostly can't see to the end.

Saturday NFL postseason games

Falcons (11-6) at Eagles (13-3)
4:35 p.m. ET, Saturday (NBC)


For the first time ever, a No. 6 seed is a favorite to beat the No. 1 overall seed in any conference. Because of the ACL injury to Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, the Falcons are slight favorites to win at Lincoln Financial Field.

Titans (10-7) at Patriots (13-3)
8:15 p.m. ET, Saturday (CBS)


The Titans pulled off an epic rally last Saturday to upset the Chiefs in the Wild Card Round. Now they’ll have to defeat another favored opponent who knows a little something about monumental playoff comebacks — the New England Patriots. The two teams will meet on Saturday in the Divisional Round; kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET

One of our Sport channel is broadcasting Falcon-Eagles live.
Game start in about 25 minutes from now.

Think it's going to be great game to watch.

The match between Patriots and Titans is broadcasted late, so either I have to skip it or program my USB to record it. Then watch it tomorrow afternoon.

I fell asleep near the end of this one ... :oops:

The New England Patriots cruised past the Tennessee Titans, 35-14,
on Saturday night to advance to their seventh consecutive conference title game.

New England (14-3) will host the winner of Sunday's divisional match up between Jacksonville and Pittsburgh.

Sunday January 14th

Jaguars (11-6) at Steelers (13-3), at Heinz field

When: 1:05 p.m.

Saints (12-5) at Vikings (13-3), at U.S. Bank Stadium

When: 4:40 p.m

mapuc 01-14-18 03:31 PM

I programmed my USB and watched Patriots against Titans

Oh man-what a different. There weren't any doubt who was going to win that game.

In the beginning it was a stand-off and the first touchdown by the Titans didn't scare the Patriots.

I think Patriots are the favorit in their next match, which will be against either Pittsburgh Steelers or Jacksonville Jaguars.

Every time Patriots made a touchdown or did something good on the field I was thinking-Now August is celebrating.

The Falcons really blew the ending of that game.

mapuc 01-14-18 04:50 PM

What happened ??

Is was watching Steelers against Jaguars

In the end of 4th quarter the standing was 42-28

Hmm don't thing there will be any changes there, so I can change channel and watch the next program.

Went back about 30 minutes later and saw that Jaguars had won with 45-42.

in these 3-6 minutes Steelers must have made 2 touchdowns and Jaguars must have scored some field goals.

I should have stayed put and watched the game to the end.

I cross my fingers and hope you may celebrate many times next Sunday when your team meet Jaguars.

Jacksonville played splendid so it's going to be hard for the Patriots and Brady will have to do his best.

Personally, I'm offended by the racist stereotype Vikings logo(1), and PISSED off the Saints tossed such a great second half comeback! What a game.









(1) Tell me how it's different than other stereotype sports images.

Mr Quatro 01-15-18 11:15 AM

The Vikings beat the Saints 29-24 on a last-second touchdown pass, a 61-yard beauty from Keenum to Stefon Diggs which ruined a brilliant second half by Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his teammates.

I've never seen game like that before ... only 10) seconds left all they had to do is tackle the guy, instead the defender leaps at him to probably knock the ball loose and misses.

Now the Vikings get a chance to be in their own super bowl coming up Feb 4th all they have to do is beat the eagles in Philly next Sunday :yep:

Rockstar 01-15-18 11:55 AM

Well if Vikings superbowl history is any judge they'll probably choke

Aktungbby 01-15-18 12:11 PM

Even if borrowed it's from Iceland: it's all Viking: skål BBY!

Friends I have additional question about NFL.

Earlier I asked about this Wild Card. Maybe I have missed it, when I read about it in the link August gave me.

1 What decide or what rules do they use to give a team the wild card ? Why I'm asking is I'm sure there is many more NFL team who would be as good as these who got this Wild Card.

Something else

During the lastest transmission from the NFL I have seen a commercial logo for something called Pro Bowl 26/27 January 3 pm

What is that ?
Is there a professional version of NFL ?

Before the play they showed us each player and under these players there was 2 letters like:

SS, RB, CB(not really sure if I have remembered this correctly) and others

I know QB means Quarterback

So my question is what does these two letter means and what is their job/task on the field ?

Actually no there aren't. if two teams vying for wild card status have the same number of wins and losses then they go with the team that beat the other team during the regular season. Same way they determine home field advantage. First the ones with the better record and then the one with the better record against the other candidates.

The ProBowl is a special exhibition called an "All Star Game" that is played by certain regular NFL players from around the league. They are chosen by their fellow players and coaches by lottery.

See this for a more complete description.

SS - Strong Safety
RB - Running Back
CB- Corner Back

Here's a link to all of them:
