Wonderful to see the Browns make the playoffs after almost a 20 year absence.

A really good article on the last round results and impact on the playoffs and draft picks.

There was also an impact on those who backed the Giants at $14 to win the division........

I would love to see a Buffalo v Cleaveland AFC Championship game along with Tampa V St Louis NFC championship game.

However the chances are they might all lose this weekend as they are all outsiders except for Buffalo.

I watched every down of all six games, I thought the standard was very ordinary.

Ravens defense looked good but they are limited on offense. TB offense look like they could score at will but there defense was poor.

Bills were ordinary and Colts had no luck and probably should have won.. maybe it was first okay playoff nerves.

I thought Saints were awful.

KC and Green Bay will have been sitting at home giggling with what they saw.

NFL coaches being fired and hired. The interesting ones are the Eagles and Chargers. Eagles got rid of their coach who win their only Super Bowl while Chargers terminated their coach who finished up with 7-9 season after losing 7 games by less than 7pts.

Packers looked clunky today before their class came through. Bills and Ravens were awful today.

Tomorrow will be interesting to see if the QBs take risk in all the games and try to score some points.

My dreams became half true.

The Browns were unlucky against Kansas . The fumble near the end of the first half where they dropped the ball on the line really cost them at the end. They were trailing 16-3 and score would have 16-10 at around half time but the Chiefs scored a field goal to make it 19-3. The final score was 22-17 so the missed touchdown cost them dearly.

Kansas will play better next week as they looked rusty and there is a concussion query on Mahomes. The defending Super Bowl champions and they know how to win ugly at times. Yet to hit their peak.

Brady was at it’s clinical best and never looked like panicking at any stage. However he had a few unlucky unexpected turnovers from Brees which helped him greatly. Tampa are now in there first NFC championship in almost two decades.

Green Bay very good in patches yesterday but again at times looked beatable. They will be better for the run and Rodgers looked good with his efficiency. Green Bay into their 2nd consecutive NFC championship and lost last year to the 49ers so they will be out for redemption.

Buffalo won the boat boring game of the weekend but they are in their first AFC championship game since the 90s . Allen looked in trouble at times and devoid of ideas but their defence came though.

It should be a good Conference finals series.

It seems a harsh rule where the Browns lost possession because the fumble went out of bounds in the end zone - they would have retained the ball if it went out in the field of play. Was a great tackle, albeit illegal with the leading of the helmet.

Thought Buffalo played well - the game was played in very windy conditions which stifled a lot of the attack, but it was still a big effort to keep Jackson and the Ravens out of the end zone.

Should be two great games next week. Buccaneers had their way with the Packers earlier in the season in Tampa - hopefully we get the predicted arctic conditions at Lambeau for the Florida sunshine boys.

This is probably the dream QB Super Bowl that some were hoping for. The oldest QB with 6 SB rings and 3 other appearances against the heir to the throne who at 25 has now reached consecutive SB with a win last year.

Tampa looked strong while Kansas started to goto another level at times. Green Bay was unlucky at times but had their chances while Buffalo were outclassed in the latter stages.

Tom Brady is the first QB to win NFC and AFC championship while Tampa become the only host city to play in Super Bowl history.

Kansas are $1.5 favs while Tampa are $2.5.

I hope it is a good game but if Mahomes fires, it will be a Kansas win. He played within himself today but Brady will improve too after 3 intercepts.
