NFL 2021 Season

Yeah, definitely, it was a fantastic stop. I guess I was annoyed the person that spotted it ran from the line of scrimmage and spotted it a yard short of a 1st down. Clearly in the replay he'd caught it at about the unofficial line/41 and then got pushed/moved slightly back. Forward progress should have meant at least a measure, but I accept it did look like he didn't quite have enough for a first.

As I often say though, you never win or lose a game on one play. There were lots of plays that could have been different which would have changed the result (failed fake punt, muffed punt, drop on 3rd down before the 4th in which we failed, jumping off-sides when clearly that's all they were trying to get us to do etc)

Yep. Steelers are a good team too. Just lacked an offense, where they now seemed to have put something together this season. Williams being immediately effective as well.

Ever since I went to see the Bears they've played terrible.

At least there's been some improvement, but still a long way to go.

Maybe there is some life in the Bears

Might not be the only thing wrong with the Bears tbf, but something had to be done. The offense has been turgid for most of this season so far. Even if the offensive line has been mostly injured.

Result! Good win to beat the Chiefs with a few key players out, and even better that we've stopped their unbeaten run!

Great game to watch. I don't mind the Chiefs and they clearly are a great dynasty but it can be boring. The Allen run for the winning score and interception felt like the icing on the cake.

I think I woke my neighbours up when he got the touchdown at the end.

Josh Allen deserves a Super Bowl. Surely he’s going to get one soon??

How bad are Dallas?! They’ve paid out millions and millions and can’t get anything going.

Don't worry, we'll probably find a new cruel and unusual way of losing a playoff game again this year.

Hey at least you’re in the playoffs. The Jets are culling more staff…

Honestly how are the Jets doing so bad with that team? I don't know them inside out, but with that D and their O skill positions, surely they should be reasonably successful?

It’s a complete mystery. They’ve invested heavily and taken a punt on Rodgers (who must be retiring at the end of this season?), but despite some initial promise don’t look much better than when Darnold was playing. Look at how he’s playing now for goodness sake! There must be big back room issues to explain it.
