Saw that Love was injured late on last week as well as another important player and might be doubts.
Hurts and a few others were rested for the Eagle so, after the season they've had as well, I'm expecting them to be on top form.

I had missed that. Shame as it would have been good to see those two with fully fit rosters going at it!

Defences dominating the first play-off. Still a good watch.

Just watched the highlights from Commanders @ Bucs, what an incredible finish to a game, but I am gutted with the score.

Yeah, shame for your team. But very happy to see Daniels carrying on his excellent year. What a start to his career.

Very true, I think they have deserved it based on their overall performances this season compared to the Bucs. Just another rock and roll season with Baker at QB, the highest highs and the lowest lows

Hello all and thanks for playing along with the opening week of this game. Really enjoyed the wild card round.

A - Most points scored - Texans (32)
B - Most field goals - 4 teams with 3 each! Commanders, Bills, Eagles and Texans
C - Winner of Packers @ Eagles - Eagles win.

30years of pain ended. I hope Dan Snyder has a long , slow, painful death for what he did to the Redskins/Commanders. Corrupt *******.

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Sun Jan 19, 2025 6:41 pm

Come on Daniels! Rooting for him and the Commanders. Fearless football - how many 4th downs did they get last night - and have played some outstanding stuff all year culminating in last night's epic win! Love it!

Another stonking playoff game between the Bills & Ravens. High drama!

Conference Championship Results.

Hi all, if you don't want any spoilers then look away.

Superb final round of games before we get to the big one. I think my picks for the Commanders came from the heart and not the head, but hopefully they won't be too disheartened by falling at this hurdle. They have done really well to get this far and have some good foundations to build on for next season. I'm not an Eagles fan, but fair play to them, they have got the Superbowl in style and have every chance now.

As for the Chiefs, they just do their thing and there isn't much else to say, but congratulations. Again, I wanted the Bills to get it over the line, but they just can't seem to manage it. I haven't watched the game yet, but I hope to catch it tomorrow evening (as we have the matter of dealing with Leeds this evening!)

Correct answers:

A - biggest winning margin - Eagles by a lot!
B - most sacks executed - Eagles managed 3 (1 more than everyone else)
C - winners - Eagles and Chiefs

Table

Points - Players
8 - Claretonthecoast1882
7 - Cowick Claret

More questions for the final GW to follow. I'll post them early and then you have ample time to consider them, but more so that I do not forget!

Superbowl LIX.

Hi everyone and it is the final round of picks for this season. Just a last thank you for playing along, it has been a little bit of extra fun on the side for me when watching the games and trying to think of picks for the weekend ahead.

Again, if we have tie between two or more of you, I will ask the impartial Mrs P-L-C to randomly select one of you to nominate our charity for this round of games.

Our final questions are:

A - Which team's offence will have the most passing yards?
B - Which team's defence will successfully make the most interceptions?
C - Who lifts the trophy?
D - Bonus question - Can you tell me how many points the winning margin will be? (If none of us are correct, I'll give a point to whoever is closest)

The game in question is (if you don't already know!)

Chiefs v Eagles (11:30pm KO, 9th Feb, in New Orleans).

Good luck and post your picks below.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:58 pm

Second all that, sadly. Barclay and 3 turnovers were the difference basically (scoring 3 TDs from those turnovers), so not the end we wanted for the Commanders but probably run out of steam against an unbelievable defence. The SB is gonna be one tight game I except.
Thanks once again for the commitment in running this, PLC.

Superbowl results

Hi all and what a great end to the season that was. Just caught up with the extended highlights this morning and planning to watch the full game later, but it looked like a complete performances from the Eagles. I think most of it has been said on the other Superbowl thread, so I'll just post the answers and results below.

Answers:
A - most passing yards - chiefs 257 v eagles 221
B - most interceptions - Eagles 2 v Chiefs 1
C - winner - Eagles
D - winning margin - A whopping 18! (Closest was TT with 10, so he gets a point).

Final table

Points - Players
9 - Claretonthecoast1882
9 - Cowick Claret
8 - Dvalley69
7 - Belial
5 - P-L-C
4 - Tricky Trevor
3 - Cajun
1 - TimShorts
0 - MrTopTier

As there is a tie, congratulations to both Cowick and Claretonthecoast as our joint winners! I have asked the impartial Mrs P-L-C to select one of you at random to nominate a charity and she has picked ClaretontheCoast1882. So if you could post a charity below, I'll send them £20 over asap and I am sure whoever you select will also welcome any donations from others

Just a final thank you from me for playing along. It has been a fun thing to do on the side to get me watching more than just the Bucs games all season.

All the best and I'll see you all in September
