Flynn looked bloody good I thought!

May another club be interested in a trade to pick him up as a starter?!

NFL Redzone - sorry but it wasn't that thrilling for me as I'd rather watch a full game than be bounced around the other games.

I flicked to it occasionally which wrecked my game as gamepass is about a minute behind. Didn't seem that great.

It was terrible. You couldn't follow what was happening in any game. Like has been mentioned, it's like a highlight reel for a few hours. I get what Sky are doing to entertain the masses and get new viewers, but I can't help but think they're underestimating their audience.

For example, Cecil Martin was shocked a few weeks ago that he had an e mail discussing who will get the first round byes in the AFC and he was shocked that a British fan knew what this was. This seems to be the attitude of Sky, broadcast like we've never seen the game before. I think that's how Hailings still in a job to be honest.

Surely Cecil Martin won't really have thought it a surprise we know what is going on with the playoff situation......would he ? Cecil's got a bad eye as well by the look of it.

I was pretty amazed to be honest that he thought that Brits didn't understand the concept of a bye week! It's hardly the toughest concept to grasp. He didn't een go on to answer the question the fella e mailed in with, he just said something along the lines of "it doesn't matter who will get the bye, you should be proud that you know what it is.". Cringe.

He's got Bells Palsy BTW.

I thought he was looking a bit better last week, his eye was partially open and his speech was clearer. Seemed to have gone backwards a bit this week though with his eye almost completely closed.

Was out last night and didn't get home til after 9, so missed Redzone. Spent the rest of the evening alternating between the Steelers game on Sky and keeping an eye on the Falcons game on NFL.com.

Doesn't sound like I missed much, unlike Sky who missed the dramatic conclusion to the Giants-Eagles game in their confusion over when they were switching over to Heinz Field.

From what I can make out because of our tiebreakers against other teams the only way we can lose the #1 seed in the AFC is if we lose both our games and the Jesters win theirs, great position to be in

NE have earnt it. That loss to the Browns was probably the defining point of your season.

Yeah your right the Browns game was a big kick up the arris we needed, I`m hoping last nights performance will be one aswell though, as good as the Packers and Flynn were our D made some silly mistakes.

We know we can`t afford to become complacent or it will be one and done in the play-offs, I think having 2 division games to finish will make sure that doesnt happen, division games are always a great leveler so we know we have to be 100% to win them both and carry on our great run of wins.

We're probably going to be 4th seeds if we make it, which sets up a trip to your place in the second round if we won first week! I like the sound of that a lot!

Good win for the Jets last night, good to see the offence playing a heck of a lot simpler and getting the chains moved.

How on earth did we get away with that pass interference near the end of the game though?! Maybe the refs felt sorry for us after giving them at least 2 very, very generous 1st down spots...that first one they gave was ridiculous, it wasn't even close to a 1st down.
