Rams/Bears-thought McVay had a rough day. Late in the game goes conservative not throwing on 3rd and medium with 2:07 left on the clock with the 2 minute warning coming. Then on a 3rd and 1 in OT he runs an outside pitch. Almost cost them the game. Bears did an excellent job making the Rams one dimensional playing that 5 man line. Williams has to know not to take such a chance late when his team just needs another 1st down to win. He has looked like a young Mahomes this year and certainly has that it factor. Think the Bears do have staying power to be good moving forward.

Patriots/Texans-Texans have such a great defense, all you need is your QB not to turn the football over. Stroud was a turnover machine that cost his team a chance to win. I remind many, not to annoit a young QB after a good rookie season as DC's will find and exploit their weaknesses. Stroud had a terrible postseason and now is playing for his job next season. Chassion a former draft bust has really turned around his career and is headed into fa, he is someone the Cowboys should really look at if the Patriots allow him to hit the market. Unlike the Bears, still not sure if this young team is just a flash in the pan or has staying power.

Seattle/49ers-talent eventually will win out, 49ers being such a mash unit finally caught up to them. Darnold is in a similar situation as Stroud, all he needs to do is protect the football and lean on his defense. Seattle/Rams are evenly matched and should be an excellent championship game, think winner becomes the odd on favorite to win the SB.

Broncos/Bills-game of the weekend! Josh Allen made that cardinal sin before halftime to not turn over the football. This was a grinder of a game, where both defenses made it difficult to get every yard. I am a believer of Bo Nix now as I have seen him perform so well when the game is on the line. Crazy ending, but that call against the Bills looked correct. In hindsight, Cooks should of ran into the defender to get the flag. As it turns out Denver won the game over two late pi's against the Bills secondary. It's unfortunate that Nix is done for the season, but don't count them out just yet. They still have a great defense, just like I have mentioned with Stroud/Darnold, just protect the football and lean on that defense.

This has been a defensive year, but I think the two best offense left in the Rams/Patriots move on next sunday.
 
That throw by Williams even though it was 80% luck that Cmet was there to catch it, was incredible. Fading away off balance with pressure in his face. That was all arm and there's maybe 5 guys in the league right now that even get that ball into the endzone.

Stroud should have been benched at halftime. Gutless of Ryan to keep him out there with that Dak in the headlights look that he had going. Worse was his sullen body language. It was pathetic to see them stick with him in the second half. Patriots might be the luckiest team in the league. They now get to face the Broncos without Nix so realistically the likelihood that they are in the SB is about 89%, and honestly, who wants to see a Stidham led Bronco team try to take on the Rams or the Hawks?

Seattle looked invincible against a toothless 49er team that didn't have a prayer anyway but once Kittle went down they were thrown out of the church.

Rams/Hawks will be a battle to the end. Either way NFC will be well represented in the SB and winner here likely hoists the Lombardi. If the Broncs somehow get past the Pats, the SB will be a slaughter.

Chassion was probably the Cowboys pick in 2020 if Lamb was off to board. Granted that was 5 years ago, but something to think about
 
He has been good as a situational pass rusher
He has gotten a solid 13 sacks the last couple years since leaving Jacksonville. I think he could be an upside signing too where things are starting to click for him. Kind of like Hassan Reddick

Wonder if the Patriots allow him to hit the open market?
 
You would think so, but he would be an under the radar type of signing still with upside due to his age
Alot depends on how they feel about Ponder. He showed alot promise as a rookie. If they think he is ready to start, they may be willing to let Chaisson walk
