NFL 19/20

50+ year post season record....7 straight possessions ending in Chiefs TDs 

Think only had 7 running plays in those 7 drives. 

Crazy game! Hopefully the next will be as entertaining. I’m picking Packers for this one so expect Seahawks to storm it. 

Can relax and enjoy the second game.

Conference Championships... 19/01

Sunday 8:05pm
Tennessee @ Kansas City

Sunday 11:40pm
Green Bay @ San Francisco

Can't see anything but a San Francisco win next weekend. Have no idea about the other but if Baltimore defence couldn't contain Henry then can't see the Chiefs doing it.

Would be a great story if the Titans win it but being a long time American Football fan I have never really taken to the 4/6 most recently formed franchise teams.

We've let go of Offensive Co-Ordinator John DeFilippo.

Didn't even think he was that big of a problem. We need to sack Todd bloody Wash!!

I am sure you mean Titans, not Ravens .. I feel the same about Henry  .. BUT, given the performance against the Texans, anything they can do, we (The Chiefs) can do better .. they will be 2 very close games .. never underestimate Rodgers and the men from the north ((:>)

Yeah sorry. Now edited.

College football championship game shortly - top-ranked Louisiana State take on no.3 Clemson. 

We're seeing Heisman winner and likely number one overall pick Joe Burrow (LSU) and his counterpart for Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, do battle as QBs. The latter has been highly touted: 6'5, cannon of an arm, and won a national championship last year as a true freshman. It wouldn't surprise me to see T-Law go first overall in 2021.

As for the other key players to keep an eye on draft-wise...

- Clyde Edwards-Hilaire (RB, LSU) could go in the mid rounds
- Isaiah Simmons (LB/S/general defensive player, Clemson) is projected to be drafted generally in the top 15-20 picks this year. Top 10 prospect - would love to grab him for the Jags at 9.
- Grant Delpit (S, LSU) is top 15-20. Best safety (edges out Xavier McKinney) available.
- Kristian Fulton (CB, LSU) is top 15-20. I rate him as probably the third or fourth best cornerback available.
- Thaddeus Moss (TE, LSU) is Randy Moss' son. Not sure if he goes pro this season, but a possible late-rounder as it stands.
- Justin Jefferson (WR, LSU) probably goes round 2.
- K'Lavon Chaisson (EDGE, LSU) probably goes 1-2. Drawn comparisons to Danielle Hunter.
- Rashard Lawrence (DT, LSU) probably goes round 2-3.
- Jacob Phillips (ILB, LSU) probably goes round 3.
- Tee Higgins (WR, Clemson) probably goes round 1, or early 2nd. Really nice prospect with good hands.
- Travis Etienne (RB, Clemson) probably goes round 2, though he's mocked anywhere from tail end of the first to top of the third. Good running back and possible immediate starter, or possible relief back. Some development receiving (think Alvin Kamara).
- AJ Terrell (CB, Clemson) probably goes late 2nd/early 3rd.
- John Simpson (OG, Clemson) could be a nice third round pick to improve an O-line..

May have missed a couple but yeah, there we go. Lots of talent to be on display.

LSU beat Clemson 42-25. (I was gonna say "Tigers win", but both teams are nicknamed the Tigers!)

Well, Burrow cemented his position as #1 overall. What a player - and he's set the record for number of TD passes in any college football season. It's one of the greatest single seasons for a QB in college history, according to various takes I'm reading. (NB he took one more game than Colt Brennan in 2006 for Hawaii to get those TDs, but was up against substantially better opposition.)

Isn’t Burrow an older player though? Opted to develop more in the college game. Be interesting to see how he plays against NFL opposition. 

Yeah, he's just turned 23. But he was behind JT Barrett then Dwayne Haskins for three years at Ohio State, then transferred so he could start, so he's only really had two years of college football experience.

Don't think age is quite as big a thing for QBs especially given how much more protection they are receiving, as well as advances in sports science. So the age question is a pretty minor one IMO.

Two bonkers things there. 1) That score. 2) Someone keeps a record of unique score lines. 

Luke Kuechly retires... Oh dear. He was probably our best player

From the way it has been reported, he had a couple of serious concussions, so hoping he hasn't had some scary medical advice. 

New coach, probably need a new QB as well, not sure Cam is staying and his deputies this season probably aren't up to scratch. We are in transition! But will make for an interesting season
