Love the double fake from Channing Tindall on that sack - took a step forwards to make the RB think he was blitzing, then dropped a few steps to fool him into releasing into a route, and then ran straight through untouched to take down Tua

Think he's only a freshman too (maybe a sophomore), so that kind of football intelligence is impressive.

Speaking of impressive, that throw from Jake Fromm

HOT ROD NO! That'll be the turning point then.

JR Reed coming up with a play. Thrown behind Waddle though, which gave him the chance to reach the ball. Not Tua's finest game (so far).

If you didn't know Jaylen Waddle was fast, that TD just proved it. Look at UCF getting right back into their game too - just gone 42-41 up against Memphis.

Fucking hell, what a spectacular way to bottle this one Georgia Alabama loses their star QB so Georgia lets the rubbish one go up & down the field on them, then just voluntarily puts in their own rubbish, running QB to fuck up their crucial drive, then tries to give it to him again on a 4th & 11 fake. Absolute fucking idiots, and they deserve to lose this now.

[Dan]

Travis Etienne is pretty good.

UCF dominated Memphis in the second half of their game, and ended up winning pretty easily. Think they had six second half TDs (four of which were QB rushing TDs, of course).

Yep the missed field goal fucked them mentally and then hurts of all people managed to nail the end.

Waddle is absolutely electric. Bama are just loaded at wideout. Ruggs, waddle and Judy just doesn't keep things fair.

[Dan]

DeVonta Smith is pretty good (and fast) as well. Alabama, Michigan & Ole Miss all have stacked WR groups, but the Bama team is all first & second year players, which is terrifying.

I just don’t know why Georgia keep taking the ball out of Jake Fromm’s hands when he’s carving Alabama up. Sounds like the fake punt was open right up until the second they snapped the ball & Dylan Moses got over to cover DeAndre Swift, but it still feels a bit aggressive given the other option was kicking it deep & making Jalen Hurts drive the length of the field.

It’s definitely going to be interesting to see what the final four ends up being now - obviously it should be either Georgia or Oklahoma for the final spot, but no doubt Ohio State will be making a hard push & UCF are still playing the game too. The ‘expand the playoffs to 8 teams’ argument has really got louder this season, so hopefully that’s something that gets some serious consideration in the offseason.

Sounds like there was another incident involving Kareem in June. It’s just staggering how stupid these players can be, and how often they go around twatting people.

[Foe]

Yeah. There was me dreaming of bama being left out and Georgia deviate. Great game though. We'll get a rematch in the CFP. No way Georgia can be sitting at 4, push number 1 all the way and then drop out. Oklahoma can score, but their defence against bama or Clemson offence? Behave.

Edit, although I can totally see the committee tanking Georgia artificially to give Oklahoma or Ohio state a shot.

Interesting to find out how crocked tua is.

[Dan]

Oklahoma get in over Georgia, and will probably play out a 70-50 loss against Alabama if Tua’s injury is only minor as suggested.

[Giggles]

Snow

[Foe]

Oklahoma are in. Jesus. That's going to be an offensive showcase between the two heisman front runners.

Noah fant, the Iowa tight end is heading for the NFL too.

[Dan]

As well he should, he's a beast. It'll be interesting to see if TJ Hockenson, the other Iowa TE, joins him or takes a year to have the limelight all to himself.

I'd like to see him, Sternberger, Dawson Know & Albert O all go back, but we'll see. If they all come out this will be the greatest TE class of all time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jaguars with two 4th down special teams flags

They've gone back to full retard after a season of good work.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sam Koch > Flacco.

[Browning]

Sam Koch > Jackson, to be fair.

Sternberger is the guy who transferred from lower division/juco to sec football yeah? Just looked it up, northeastern Oklahoma A&M. Some rise. A bit like the kicker in Baton Rouge.

Interesting that fant did get first team honours, hockenson did.

Be interesting to see which of the Georgia players fuck off a bowl. Ridley is a junior so he could join brother in the league. Always assumed he was a small fast guy. He's 6 foot fucking 2. Fuck me.

[Foe]

That kick against the bengals though. Jesus Christ.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hicks

I love a D-Line scoring from the 1.

Wankers.

[Giggles]

Where's the helmet to helmet bit?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Where's the helmet to helmet bit?

There isn't, which is the point.

Referees called it as helmet to helmet.

[Giggles]

Rodgers really has lost it. You can blame coaches and receivers but he is massively inaccurate these days.

[Dan]

Hicks

I hope you've been watching Clemson this season then - I think Christian Wilkins & Dexter Lawrence have at least 3 rushing TDs between them, usually lining up together with Wilkins at RB & Lawrence at FB.

They're about 630lbs combined

[Dan]

Andre Hal with the pick of Baker. Nice for him having come back from (I think) Hodgkins Lymphoma.

I'm going to hunt down these plays. Sounds glorious.

[Foe]

I'm going to hunt down these plays. Sounds glorious.

They are great. As an amateur LB or safety that's a healthy and safety decision right there. No thank you, sir. Have your 6 points.

[Dan]

So, Odell legit has a better arm than Eli at this point.

[Dan]

I'm going to hunt down these plays. Sounds glorious.

Wilkins can also play safety:

[thommo]

Never a horse collar. Given the Lions another life here on the drive.

[Foe]

Lamar Jackson really isn't that great at throwing the ball is he?

Really like josh Allen now too, he looks like he's got a legit chance of hanging around the league. He's going to lose a season or two with an injury though, absolutely no doubt.

[Dan]

Saquon is such a freak.

He's shit at it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Callaway

[Dan]

Justin Reid is a baller.

[Gray Fox]

Callaway almost channelling his inner D-Jax.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like Gus Edwards a lot.

He always seems to break the first tackle and/or fall forward for an extra yard or two.

[Foe]

Justin Reid is a baller.

Houstons first rounder. In the third round.

[Dan]

Who the fuck is Andrew Adams? Clearly Cam doesn't know either, but it looks like he thinks he's a Panther WR.

[Foe]

Not a good week to have vinatieri as your kicker.

Guess who my kicker is?

[Dan]

Hang on, Arizona are beating Green Bay?

Jesus, blow this thing up guys.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tavon Young

[Giggles]

That catch from Adams

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Colts let so much time go off the clock in those final couple of plays.

[Giggles]

3rd and 23? Of course they make it.

Packers speciality right there.

[thommo]

Larry Fitz, what a man.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at Newton not having enough strength to throw 50 yards.

[Dan]

Remember when he used to be known as the physical freak #1 overall pick who throws downfield more than anyone else?

Now he can't even throw as far as his undrafted backup.

[thommo]

Hasn't he got a shoulder injury right now? Or is this a more permanent thing?

[Gray Fox]

Giants imploding here.

[Dan]

Chase Daniel showing why he's a backup, dropping his eyes as soon as there's pressure, running around without actually going anywhere & taking a sack.

[Dan]

Giants imploding here.

Odell's attempt to play that onside kick won't exactly help the diva reputation.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh Crosby.
