Browns started off not too shabby until they started falling away. Reckon they have the worst colours in sport?   :lol

Speaking of Tampa, an ideal outcome is they win this week  :rollin  :pray

 :help no idea what position he would play. You would think his skillset suits a RB but we already have Bell and Bush. Unless it's long term as backup to Bell after Bush retires. We're well sorted with TEs with Ebron keeping Pettigrew off the park as it is and our secondary is strong (best defense in league). Best of luck to him anyway. Well done to an Aussie who isn't a punter :cheers

It will take him 5 years to be ready so maybe some long term planning?  :lol

But good luck to him anyway. Big risk doing what he's doing. Hope he succeeds.

Don't know why we had to make it look hard but just got over the Bears. Think Raiola is in the poo again.

We haven't won at Lambeau in about 20 years so not getting my hopes up but how big is det v go next week. Winner takes division, second nfc seed and a week off and a home run into conference . Loser falls as low as 6th seed and goes on the road. I don't think we've won a play off on the road in as long. Our offense is stuffed for some reason. our defence is awesome and keeping us in games but that won't be enough against GB or any play off team (excluding South  ;D). offense really needs to reward the D for their effort. With Stafford, Bell, CJ etc there is no reason we shouldn't be putting up big scores against crap sides.

If you lose then next week vs Steelers becomes really interesting. Have to say this is a pretty tight run into play-offs this season.

Yep agree makes a pleasant change

So used to a lot of the spots being decided a long way out

Not this year

 :lol congrats dwaino

Division leaders with a game to go.  :shh

That 2 point loss to the Falcons at home could bite us in the arse. We'd have the division sealed.  :banghead

Just saw we could very well end up with the 7th best record in the NFC. Not that outrageous to make playoffs like that. Thought we'd be like 9th-10th  :lol

Get stuffed Philly  ;D

I think what everyone is crapping on about is if the playoffs were to fall right now then you'd be playing the Packs at home when they're 11-4. Since division leaders get a free ride in there is always a team who makes who are a game or two behind someone else who misses out on a wildcard but right now you're 4 wins (well 3.5 wins ;D) behind your opponent and get the home ground advantage. Won't even be a 0.500 team  :lol but thems the rules and everyone has to suck it up.

Love how much the seppos go off on their FB sports pages. Some gems today on the Lions FB page ;D




Got a laugh out of this one. Too many come from behind wins this season

Yeah they should probably get rid of the home field advantage. Though it's the same in nba. Probably won't make a difference anyway as we will likely get smashed  :lol
