Man, 49ers really had no business winning this game. Cowboys shot themselves in the foot about 2 dozen times with penalties. And Prescott's lack of awareness on the last play was stunning.

Choked big time.

All over for Big Ben, the Bill v Chiefs should be fantastic next week.

Still difficult to look beyond Green Bay in the NFC. 49ers looked pretty beat up today and I can't see them having enough.

AFC I reckon the winner of the Bills/Chiefs will go to Superbowl, don't fancy the Titans even though they are the no1 seed.

Poor form from Cowboys fans for pelting their own players with rubbish as they left the field.

Rodgers will choke like he usually does. I don't see either of the 49ers or Packers getting to the SB. My gut says the NFC representative will come from one of the other 3 teams.

I'm jumping on the Bills bandwagon. They probably won't get to the SB, but I like the way they play and they're due for a little glory. And my wife is from there, but I can't hold that against the Bills.

As a Giants fan I watched all the games at the weekend as a neutral and loved every minute of it 😁 watched pretty much every snap so far and I’ll be getting up early to watch the last game ‘as live’ on my Sky Q. I know some of you boys are Rams fans so I’ll be cheering you on, I love Cooper Kupp and have had him in fantasy for a few years so this year I’ve really reaped the rewards.

You won’t find many worse QB playoff performances than Murray’s in that first half.

Great from the Rams, them and the Bills look the form sides right now.

So Super Wild Card Weekend, wasn't really that 'super'. Just one game against the seedings and a number of completely one sided games.

Gets real next weekend. Looking forward to Rams@Tampa and Bills@Chiefs in particular. I can't see either the Bengels or the 49ers troubling the no1. seeds though.

Bills v Chiefs is the pick of the fixtures in the next round for me. Have always been impressed by the skills of Mahomes and similarly Rodgers, however in that fixture, I’ll be rooting for the 49ers, having jumped on their bandwagon when C4 started showing it in the 80s.

Totally dipped out of it until a couple of years back - as mentioned above, really enjoy watching games as a neutral - Red Zone is ideal, no ads, limited stoppages and all action.

It is possible The Rams, 49ers and Buffalo could all beat the bookies favourites this week, and I've had some bets on that.

I'm actually surprised Kansas are match favourites, they have been a bit flakey. The Rams could really be a big threat, now they have Beckham as well as Cupp and 2 running backs now.

Well the 49ers are playing brilliantly, despite having an average QB. Was it great defense or poor Offense. I saw post match that the consensus was not enough running with the ball. Does having a MVP QB make the coach put too much through him?

If anyone chokes it was Tannehill. I had quite a few bets around Titans.

How ca you sack a QB NINE times and still lose?

Indeed. Play those games again and both Titans and Packers win. They both should not have lost.

Bengals winning with that O-line shouldn’t be a thing. Burrow took more shots then Bruno but just kept getting up but nine sacks and still losing the Titans defence did their jobs must be tightly annoyed.

49ers couldn’t move the ball at all but special teams came to play along with their once again fantastic defence. GB threw that away with their crap special team.

Great effort from the two lower seeds to grasp the chance when it was offered.

Love this


Rodgers did choke, btw. His decision making was atrocious. He did what he usually does in the playoffs, which is to abandon game plan at important moments of the game. His stats were ok, but passes were thrown at shoe strings, behind receivers, all over the park. But for his incredible receivers he’d have had a very bad day. And as BLR points out, the Niners were average. Offense just barely stayed alive. Defense was excellent and special teams made the difference.

2 best teams are playing now on this Chiefs/ Bills game. What a game. First one of the weekend played at the highest levels. All the other games were very exciting and had stretches of quality play, but we’re ultimately decided by mistakes. Lots of them. Rams got away with it.

But Mahomes and Allen. Wow! 🤩

I'd say the Bucs were definitely West Ham.

Rice/Bowen (Brady) bring us back from 4-1 down to equalize at 4-4 with only time added on to play.

rather than play for the draw Fredericks runs about like a chicken with his head cut off, gives the ball away and they go down the other end, Dawson gives up a free kick which Rashford bashes into the net as the ref blows the whistle. no on field review.

oh wait................
