Worked out anyway.
Worked out anyway.
Delighted I booked tomorrow off. I like the Saints but I'm glad this is looking competitive. Memory is hazy of details, but it feels like most playoff games have been blowouts this season.
Got a tenner on Saints Patriots superbowl which sorta reduces my desire for a tight game.
Giving Taysom Hill plays as a QB in an NFC championship game reminds me of playing 17 year old regens upfront in champions league finals 10 seasons into FM games when I'm bored and trying to make it more of a challenge.
They really should have gone for that.
Game over with that pass.
Well done McVay...
That's the game.
That really was such a bad call by McVay.
I'd rather be down by 3 but the ball be on the 1 yard line (or 4 up ofc) than tied against this Saints team but with them at the 25 or so.
Why fucking pass there? Just run it a bit as you're in field goal range and you take time off.
By not rushing on first down they've turned a pretty much guaranteed win into asking your defence to make a stop.
Oh and like fuck that's not interference.
It's a double penalty if anything.
He went way too early with the hit and it was helmet to helmet.
I would have said 100% before that no call.
I thought he pushed that wide for a second.
That took some swing in late.
Surfside mansions all round for the officiating crew if the Rams get over the line here.
Rams to win in OT please.
Just to see Payton losing his shit again
Loving the chorus of boos for the refs.
They missed a facemask on Goff before the Rams settled for 3 so they have nothing to moan about.
They've missed some holding calls for both teams too.
It's just a proper shit crew who don't want to throw flags.
Wild flag has appeared...
They've just made up for that one. Done their best anyway.
If Michael Thomas doesn't push him over than that's just incomplete.
This has the feel of the Minnesota miracle in reverse.
Shiiiiiiiit.
That was a fairly damp drive. Settling for a 57 yard kick?
What a kick. Probably had another 20 yards on it.
lol.
Saints are going to be like Liverpool now.
Justice for the missed PI.
Packers pick 30th
They already have one of those campaigns.
I'm going to be so fucked tomorrow.
Those missed flags were probably both bad calls, but we just don't have the edge to be able to finish out these games - two seasons in a row we've let it slip through our fingers when we should have won.
We need a new guard to send Andrus Peat to the bench, a TE who can actually be a dynamic receiver, a safety & another cornerback. Hopefully we can get one or two of those in free agency so we can be a bit more flexible in the draft, but we'll see.
I dearly want to watch the Chiefs game, but I can't justify it. I'll just have to try and avoid the result tomorrow (before obviously being torpedoed out of the blue by the first local radio NFL report ever or something at 5pm).
I'm disappointed with Sean Payton.
He should have shit all over the refs there and taken the fine. Instead he sounded like he might top himself.
Rams
Now for the Pats to lost tonight to set up the dream Super Bowl.
Not a chance the Patriots lose.
They're a machine in the playoffs (I was stupid to write them off last week) and the Chiefs don't have a defence.
I need to be up at 6am for work but I know I wont make it through the day without finding out the result so fuck it, I'm staying the course.
aye two of my work colleagues are chatting with me on fb about the games despite being in at 8.30 tomorrow.
one of them is hosting a super bowl party despite not being able to get the day off work. he's driving to r-town to pick me and my mate (who he's never met before) up at like 11pm, then is gonna drive us back home en route to work at 8am. what an absolute fucking hero.
This Chiefs D is just so soft.
The only good thing they have is their pass rush.
patriots are gonna fucking dick em aren't they
Chiefs are going to get pumped here.
Their rushing defence is embarrassing right now.
Yeah, this is rough.
On the upside, rather than just avoid the result tomorrow, I can simply avoid the NFL for the next 8 months or so.
Massive play
That makes things interesting.
They should have run it there though seeing as how good Michel has been.
