Ravens have lost their last three. In AFL terms e Bengals would be playing mini elimination finals this week and next week.
RG3 is unreal. Met some mad baylor boys when i was in the states, watched the baylor-kansas state game with them, poo was crazy  :police: ;D

Is a gun best rookie QB in a long time. Electric player. :thumbsup

Possibly, I just think the impact RG3 has had this year has transformed us and given Kirk Cousins our rookie understudy has come in and had an impact immediately producing the match winning TD against Baltimore after RG3 limped off and had 4 TD's against the Browns last week has just made us a legitimate playoff team this season with a chance to make a real impact for the first time in a long time.

Right now I think the 49's can go one better than last year and make the Superbowl. Unless they meet the Redskins. :thumbsup

It says a lot about the Skins Offensive line as well,,  My only pick on RB3 is that he takes a long time to make a decision sometimes..  he is lucky he can evade well..  havent seen Cousins

As for playoffs they're thereabouts same as the Bengals. Fingers crossed for a Bengals v Redskin Superbowl

Good call, but what about the Falcons? Ripping form. Seahawks on the wild card would be a good chance to at least make the NFC final.

Falcons v Lions about to start. Not sure if I'll be able to watch all this  :help  :lol

Bloody hell. Johnson the only reason worth watching. No Pettigrew or anything.

Falcons were in ripping form a few years back at 13-3 and lost at home 24-2 in the first week I think to the Giants. Chokers IMHO. Seattle are just looking awesome at the moment and are monstering some teams ATM. In the NFC the race for the last two wild cards will go down to the wire in the Washington v Dallas game.

I still can't say no to Bellichik, Brady and the Patriots to get to another Superbowl,they just keep on keeping on. Unbelievable team. :thumbsup

Can't deny Matt Ryan's passing at the moment though. Good mature team currently as well. Can't wait for 49ers v Seahawks tomorrow but.

they big games this weekend are 49ers v seahawks and bengals at steelers..  And lets not forget giants and Ravens as well. All huge games and will be high quality.. Watched the Falcons today and wasnt that impressed with them against a 2nd rate defence.  Lions went to Johnson way to much to get him over the line for the record..  Even though falcons won 31-18 they only had to capitalize on poor lions defence.. A good side would never have let a receiver on such a poor team get 225 yards in a game..

I reckon they just let Johnson do his thing because he wasn't damaging. He only required single coverage as the DTs were pretty average and Stafford was more often than not throwing under pressure. Don't forget how good Johnson really is too. Suh has given me the poos this season. Bring on last season's form please. It looked like the Falcons just played really conservative and did just enough for the win. Every time they were third and long Ryan managed to throw a first down.

Reckon that if Lions can manage to hold on to Stafford and Johnson, with a fit Pettigrew and an in form Suh, once these geriatric DTs bugger off and we get a real FB, we will finally have the nucleus of a good side. Keeping my fingers crossed that since the best QBs still have a few seasons left in them and there are a heap of really good rookie QBs coming through, that we'll be able to hold on to Stafford after this season.

Agree wait till they play a team also with a half decent D in the NFC playoffs like Green Bay, New York or San Francisco and Atlanta will be like Port Adelaide of 2001/02/03. Choke choke choke. What has helped Atlanta in their division is e tipsy turfy form of New Orleans despite the brilliance of Brees. The NO controversy has has not helped them.
