    The Rodgers express?? :rofl:

    It's not like he's having a breakout season, he's been playing at this level for years.

    He was awful for the first 6 weeks this year so yes, Rodgers express.

    He's a notorious underachiever and is a complete front runner aswell. Yes on his day he's amazing but he's nowhere consistent enough

    A career 104.1 Rating with 142 games played, 297 TD, 25 rushing TD, over 39'000 yards (Throwing and rushing) and a cmp% 65.1 is indeed the 2nd coming of rex grossman.

    A super bowl champion, 2x NFL MVP and tons of other awards indicate he's surely an underachiever and not consistent enough.

    by his standards he was indeed terrible in his first 6 games, just recording 13 TD and 4 INT.

    A few people laughed off the chances of the Raiders moving to Las Vegas when I put it in here, well it's well on the way to happening.

    Zach Orr had a pretty good season for Baltimore, I was impressed. But at 24 he's retiring due to a congenital neck condition

    Got to respect that decision.

    It's amazing the amount of garbage people talk about A-Rod, calling him an underachiever is absolutely ridiculous.

    It's also worth pointing out that even when his form dips his stats are still better than the majority of QB's in the league.

    Well it is official now in the sense the Raiders formally applied to move to Las Vegas yesterday. I think the decision on whether it will happen or not will be made at the owners meeting March. 75% of the 32 team owners need to vote in favour for the move to go ahead. At this stage if I was to make a bet on it I would say the Raiders will be moving to Las Vegas.

    at this point the city of oakland doesn't seem to be willing to come up with a proper plan to keep the raiders in the city. after all these years they still don't seem to care at all. I think a move to vegas is inevitable.

    He wasn't "awful" and if you were watching any of the Packers games around that time you will know that his receivers just weren't getting open. So many times he was scrambling around and there was just nowhere to go with the ball. The Packers offense as a whole had broken down at that point.

    Rodgers is the most naturally talented QB in the league. Is he the best? The only person that could be put up as a potential argument against him is Brady. Brady has the rings, if that's your thing, but Rodgers can make plays Brady could only dream of making. I don't think there's any play Brady can make that Rodgers can't. He has literally put the Packers team on his back and carried them through the last seven weeks to where they are now. No other QB in the league could have done what he's done in my opinion.

    Anybody watchin these games the night? picked Atlanta and the other favourite team in the other game in a coupon for an interest.

    Watched the Superbowl last year and enjoyed it picked up the rules more than I had before and watched wee bits of a game last week but am going to watch these games, after the Barca one finishes. Are these the semis and only one off games or is it 2 legs?

    They're effectively finals for the two conferences, the AFC and NFC, with the two conference champions advancing to the Super Bowl to crown the overall NFL champs.

    And its just the one leg, home field advantage is decided by playoff seeding which is based on regular season win/loss records.
