I still think The 49ers are the team to beat......as I predicted around week 4 or 5.
I think they've peaked. Philly are one to watch in the NFC. They've gone from 5-7 to 8-7 in the last three weeks, Wentz is healthy and they're finally getting guys who can catch the ball in play.
So a miserable end to the season but McCaffrey gets 1000 running and passing yards for the season, only the third time in NFL history. Without him, we'd be rooted to the foot of the league
Kitchens fired. Fair enough - he didn't seem to be a good head coach. Wonder what goes on with Marrone - hoping he's also out the door, but like him as a bloke. Wash still needs to go straight away though.
Here's hoping we have more than one winning season next decade...

I predict Ravens v Saints Superbowl. Ravens win.
I could see the Eagles winning a home game but I wouldn't put money on it. Two of those three wins were against Washington and New York. Only the Cowboys win is remotely impressive.
More injuries today with Sanders and Brooks having to leave the game. Boston Scott stepped up today but the well has to be empty or close to at this point. The offense is down to spare parts at this point. They got receptions today from Boston Scott, Cameron Perkins, Greg Ward Jr, Deontay Burnett and Robert Davis. None of whom were in the plans at the start of the year.
Hoping Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz can come back for the wildcard game, and there was some hope that DeSean Jackson might make it back for the playoffs should they get there but I haven't heard anything on that recently so not too optimistic.
Would be heavy underdogs against Seattle or San Francisco but they were underdogs against Chicago last year. Philadelphia can be pretty nasty in January, and they already put it up to Seattle a few weeks ago so who knows. Beyond the first round? Can't see it.
Gonna be in London for the West Brom League game on the 11th. In the unlikely scenario Carson Wentz and the Practice Squad make it to the Divisional Round game against the Niners where is my best chance to be able to see the end of the game? Ideally central as need to get out to Stansted that night for a very early flight Sunday morning.
I should be able to watch on my phone worst case scenario but thats far from ideal. Though perhaps I won't be able to as I'll be in the UK and the game is on Sky. I don't get blacked out here, not sure if that would apply in England.
I rarely watch teams unless they are playing the Chiefs. Both games last night were tight and tense, down to the wire. Great for a neutral. Baltimore vs Tennessee is going to be a great game. Houston showed real team spirit to get through. With the pats out I wouldn't be confident in backing any one of the AFC teams to definitely make the SB. They all have quality.
Very relaxed watching this one compared to last time against the Saints, feels more like we’re riding out a decent season than really going all out for it in a home Super Bowl.
