It was to be expected.
The Texans aren't a good team at all and they got into the playoffs because they're in a poor division.
They've had some good results this year but a playoff game against a beastly Chiefs team (defence) who are riding a 10 game winning streak? Not a chance.
And there goes the Chiefs Defence again.
There aren't many units better than them this year.
Averaging less than 12 points a game against them in the last 11 games now.
It's going to be great seeing the Chiefs shit all over New England or the Broncos.
I might adopt the Chiefs as my team at some point... I fucking loved them at Wembley (mainly because I had Alex Smith in my fantasy team and he bossed it) and their fans were awesome. I'd love to see them go all the way, but not quite ready to declare them "my team" because a big part of me would still like to see the Cards win it.
I'm adding Chiefs/Seahawks to my list of acceptable SB50 matches.
Think I may have mentioned back on the old TTH that I saw one LSU game about 3/4 years ago & thought Spencer Ware was a beast. Time has proved me to be correct. Get me a scouting job
Not sure how this is such a defensive game.
I have no problem with the Hawks making it, but for Pete Carroll. He just looks like a guy you want to see punched in the face. I can't explain why, he just does.
0 points in their last 60 minutes of playoff games for the Bengals
That wasn't long enough of a big man run.
From first view that looks to me like it's coming back. The tackle after the fumble looked like it got the big guy down.
So the Bengals are really getting bailed out by their defence so far. Though I'm sure I just saw they are 0-13 in post season play after falling behind.
Indeed, they've never won a playoff game in which they've gone behind, haven't won one at all since 1990 and have gone like 80 minutes of game time without scoring in playoff games now.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
This is very much like Kansas City, Steelers are getting turnovers but just can't do shit but kick FG's.
They couldn't block a bit more?
If Antonio scores the first TD I get over £100.
Bastards.
Edit: Ugh, fuck you Ben and Bryant.
That catch was fucking mental though.
That was a fantastic effort. He'd been called out by Ben for not being great in the run in too.
That should see the Steelers through unless the Bengals offence suddenly clicks.
RIP in pieces Giovanni Bernard.
Oh and that's a fumble.
I can see a few massive hits on the way now. Boiling over nicely.
Burfict
You had to know he'd be coming.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Also does he look a little puffy lately? I know he's not exactly skinny but he looks heavier than I remember him.
Just what this game needed.
The Bengals have no one but themselves to blame for all of this. Their players are absolutely fucking stupid and several will be getting fined and 1 or 2 suspended. Antonio Brown is lucky he still has a head on his shoulders.
I wanted the Steelers out, but after that, fuck the Bengals.
Poor quality but for fucks sake. I'll be surprised if Brown knows what week it is.
Just caught the highlights of that game, looked really good. Bengals should have had it.
Sam Shields is out for tonight. I couldn't see much chance they were beating Washington anyway but that's the final nail in it now.
Tried to watch it on GamePass, but it's on blackout. They were showing the full game replay on the NFL Network though, so i just watched it there insteadPretty crazy even for a Bengals/Steelers game. Ryan Shazier had a huge game, and it's not really much of a shock that the two biggest mentalists on the Bengals team ended up giving up game losing penalties because they couldn't stop being mentalists.
Kansas City definitely have a shot against the Pats, especially if they don't have everyone back, while the Steelers will be relying on Axelmania having a good enough shoulder to continue to run wild, especially if they're going to be without Antonio Brown. The two games tonight aren't quite as exciting, although I am looking forward to seeing Kirk Cousins carve the Packers apart (maybe).
Cousins won't even need to. The Packers have one of the worst offenses in the NFL, won't score more than 10. The Packers defence is the best they've had in years too. I'll go 27-9.
Disappointing openers to the playoffs but absolutely expected. Houston are a garbage side and the Bengals are surely the biggest choke merchants in all of sport. The Bryant catch was a beaut though.
I fancy Washington (eugh) and Seattle tonight.
In a world where the nfl is worried about concussions why in the hell was shaziers crest of the helmet hit to Bernard's face a legal hit?
The bengals were idiots there but that's where it all stemmed from. I was fully expecting a personal foul on shazier. Instead they gave him the ball.
There really wasn't much difference between the hit on brown and Bernard that one is a 15 yard penalty (using the shoulder) and one is a legal hit (helmet).
Aaron Rodgers will surely storm it given everyone has written him off against the fucking redskins.
As far as I know, the one on Bernard, he had caught the ball, turned and become a runner. At that point it was just seen as a tackle and fumble.
The one on Brown was on a defenseless receiver who was still airborne.
He'll be on his arse more often than not as the offensive line resembles a revolving door. Absolutely nothing to throw to when he is upright either, though he's been really poor himself too.
Yeah, that's seemingly what people are saying. But there's no way Bernard was walking away from that with anything other than at least a mild concussion. He catches the ball facing the other way, he turns around and bang, head shot. He may have the ball and two feet down but he hasn't had any chance to see any defenders coming.
Deoin sanders was trying to claim Burfict's wasn't a penalty but I'm not entirely sure about that.
The calls the refs made at the end of the game basically decided the contest. The Jones penalty in particular looked all sorts of wank. Seemingly he had a go on social media about it and raised some pretty valid points. Hope the Steelers get destroyed in the next round.
Going to be one of the coldest games ever in the NFL.
Should be a few of these:

Looks like we've interviewed Chiefs OC Doug Pederson. I quite like the sound of him.
Favres backup
Zimmer is a mong, you never challenge the spot of the ball unless it's make or break for the game because they're almost never overturned.
The Bengals lost that game all on their own, the referees didn't cost them it at all. Fuckwittery like that deserves to be punished.
Not that I care for the Steelers, Joey Porter and MIke Tomlin are both gobshites.
Baldwin
Someone call a doctor, Blair Walsh is choking
Walsh you mong.
Well, i hope Blair Walsh enjoys his unemployment.
Jesus, that's so harsh on the vikings.
Wilson is such a wet blanket.
Well that at least makes later a little easier to take.
The Vikings
Laces OUT, Dan!
At times it seems like the Packers just can't be arsed with blocking.
At times?
Hopefully that stop isn't a sign of things to come in this game...
I would say I can't believe that ending, but all throughout the game I was reading updates about how it's Walsh's game so it felt a little like tempting fate. Harsh if he gets all the blame though.
Yeah, here come the real Packers
Even when Lacy gets off a decent run it looks so laboured.
He just looks far too slow and heavy, it's like when a defensive line-man scoops up a fumble.
