I would love to know how many drops the Raiders receivers had, I know Cook missed a few but that was disgraceful the amount of drops that occurred some of them under no pressure.
I think they mentioned on SS yesterday, Crabtree and Cooper are #1 and #2 respectively in dropped catches since start of last season. Feel a bit for cook, Raiders first playoff appearance in yonks and he was thrown in against the leagues #1 defense. All went to pot on Christmas Eve and McGloin must have been seriously beat up against Denver.
Tonights games are interesting. I can see Miami upsetting those terrible-towels and as good as the pack have been during the second half of the regular season, for me this game depends which Eli shows up.
Well I won't be asking you for any tips based on the above. Dolphins are and were always likely to be cannon fodder .
After 3 relatively one sided games, this should be the best of the 4. I fancy the Packers to come through in the end but this is likely to be close.
Agree with all of this. Shame really but almost a phony war before the proper contests start now and next week. Disappointing matches due to the wrong teams getting in. Detroit poor as were the Raiders and Dolphins as they both lost their franchise qb's. Needed Baltimore, Washington and Denver in to make it competitive imo.
Whoever wins tonight we should certainly see 3 really good match up's next week, although I can't see the Patriots having too much trouble beating the Texans.
Oh my word. Great that a proper match has broken out at last after the first 3 disappointments. Loving this - Rodgers is something else. #1 QB in the NFL for my money.
I laughed when Cobb caught that ball. Giants defence has been phenomenal and many other QBs would have posted no points that half but Rodgers is a special talent and has given them an eight point lead.
Just watched the Hail Mary pass again, what were the Giants DBs doing? Just bat the ball away, although Cobb got away with a cheeky push off that should have been flagged for offensive pass interference.
Dolphins game was disappointing but expected to some degree, nearly another playoff appearance without a TD. I worry that this could be another season much like Sparano had but hopefully Gase is something special and we can carry that into next year. We were missing a huge number of starters and had practice squad players making up the numbers in the secondary but they are improving so I hope next year will continue this upward trend and I get to see my third dolphins playoff victory at the very least!!
Every team who made the playoffs earned their spot. If the organisation is good then they will use it as something to build on. All teams have injuries. I'd love Jamaal Charles and Derrick Johnson to be available for the Chiefs but similar could be said for all teams. A good team is not built around one player. Look at the Broncos last year. They won with an aging quarterback who only brought his reputation to the game and absolutely nothing else. I was hoping Miami would beat Pittsburgh because basically the Steelers have a great running game and a quarterback who finds ways to win games. Not going to be easy for my Chiefs next week.

Can never count them out with him on the ball
He had the longest streak of games below 100 rating than any other QB.
still form is temporary, class is permanent etc etc.
