    At least in the NFL you get well compensated.

    The Broncos emergency QB got over $50K NZD for today's game.

    If you want to watch what blatant, "we're not even going to try and hide it" match fixing looks like

    Go watch the Jets tank against the Raiders.

    I feel sorry for these great college QBs that have to keep going to dumpster fire organisations.

    Huge win for Washington.

    It feels like finally they might be turning things around - it feels like they have some stability finally with Rivera at the helm as head coach and a new team president.

    First team to beat the Steelers.

    What a story Alex Smith is - from potentially losing his leg or even his life to leading Washington to 3 straight wins - he's a shoe in for Comeback Player Of The Year.

    Washington's defence is really impressive - a lot of high draft picks in the defensive line and well coached by veteran coach Del Rio.

    Had this on in the background doing some work, expecting it to be a stinker of a game.

    The Washingtonf Football Team did really well -as you say, great D. Receivers dropped some sitters too - made Alex look worse than he was.

    Carson Wentz had the same issue - if you put the ball there and it gets dropped, it's not all on the QB.

    Buffalo are a hard team to place. They look like solid contenders one week, and then pretenders the next. Currently giving the Niners a touch up

    Also what has happened to the Seahawks?

    That was scary good from Buffalo, but M4L is right - can they do that consistently?

    The O-line could be the best in the league. Allen just has so much time, and has the talent to turn that into gold when he's on his game.

    box score is nuts

    Jackson runs for nearly as many yards as he passes, and twice as many touchdowns.

    @mariner4life Jackson was out with a leg injury in the second half - came back in on a must convert 4th down.

    just finished watching this no knowing the result. What a game. Quality QB play - one with legs, one with arm.

    Great fun, really enjoyed it

    remember 3 weeks ago when the Steelers were going 16-0?

    They are losing to the Bengals in what looks a shit game. The Driver summary is 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out.

    I'm watchign - it's entertaiing. Bengals just so committed physically, it's a grudge match. NFL does this better than most, just remarkable

    Farcical scenes in the NFC today.

    Bears get smashed but make the playoffs cos Cardinals also lost.

    Meanwhile Eagles pull the most blatant tank job on prime time - benching their QB in the 4th Quarter only down 3 points to put in their backup who is legitimately awful meaning Washington win the division and make the playoffs and the Giants miss out.

    As a Cowboys fan I have no sympathy for the NYG, especially after they beat us today. 🙂 The NFC East really sucks now.

    And now 7-9 Washington hosts the 11-5 Tampa Bay...

    NFC east being so terrible means that the bucs are probably pretty happy to have got through on a wildcard. Seattle on the other hand gets to host the Rams. Playing at home is great (and the Rams are a bit all over the show) but Washington are clearly the worst team in the playoffs.
