Week 17 Review

January 4, 2023 by nflinlondon

What a sad way to end a competitive Sunday-when Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin went down with cardiac issues in a solemn silence to football, as we look at all in our Week 17 Review.

It was a topsy turvy and exciting week in the NFL, with questions of injury attentiveness, fantasy finals, and playoff implications became a little deeper, even a little durper as the Washington FC and Ron Rivera didn’t even realise that their loss knocked them out of playoff contention.
So much for having math guys on the squad.

Damar Hamlin

Football fans and humans alike reacted with shock and pause on Sunday when Buffalo Bills defensive player Damar Hamlin tackled Bengals WR Tee Higgins triggering a cardiac arrest on the field.
The shock to the heart of the 24 year old and the world itself was felt with every passing palpitation on the field beckoning ‘please, get up’ ‘please be okay.’

As of  Jan 4th, Hamlin is still in critical condition, after being resuscitated twice in an effort to save his life and give pause to the game and the way we handle these situations themselves.

We love you Damar Hamlin! Fight this! You’re young, strong, and the Bills Mafia, and the NFL fans of the world got you!

More critical now is the response that the NFL ‘may’ have had on Sunday night.
Indications from the league that the game should ‘go on’ was passed on to several parties, but it was the teams themselves that led the charge to end the game.
The Bengals crossed to Buffalo to offer condolences and to do this another time, which was agreed.
The NFL is family, and we got hurt. Bad.

It was over an hour before the league gave an official response, which begs the question as to whether there should be an emergency playbook for when a real crisis hits the field.
A game sponsored by so much loving military support could tap into its own triage capabilities.

Thoughts, prayers, hugs kisses and more are appreciated.

Command Blow

Just when the Washington football club had a chance to qualify for the playoffs, they blew it, and they didn’t even knew it.

Deshaun Watson and the Browns gave glimpses of hope for the 2023 season as he rubbed and tugged himself all over the Washington D.

Carson Wentz became a wordplay of himself as he ‘Wentzed’ himself in a ‘Wentzing’ debacle that made us want to ‘Wentz’.
For a guy who has had to deal with cancer in his life, it’s surprising he hasn’t cut that Wentz out already.

Lions Roar

It was Bears versus Lions in a divisional rematch of the ages, but in this case the dome home Detroiters’ did the deed.

The Bears lost more O linemen to injury as Justin Fields was forced to tap-dance his way to a potential concussion or worse with no protection or viable receivers.
He did have to take a tent trip which is potentially sending less and less pleasurable for youth of the day.
Chicago is looking like the worst of the blurst-so it’s all about that draft pick, or trading it.

Lions roared in the dome, with a commanding display over Chicagos inept defence.
It got a little silly at times, as Detroit ran all over da Bears and Goff started to look like a big QB in a fantasy fiesta for fans in a lopsided 41-10 victory.

Detroit has the Packers at home who are riding high in Rodgers in South America.

Green Goths

The slovenly Packer faithful have emerged from the dours of the earlier season to see Aaron Rodgers good-thumb his way to a sling of victories, after a slap down of the Vikings in Week 17.

From ‘we won’t make the playoffs’ to ‘he’s back’, the cheeseheads have finally ripened after a bit of malaise mould.
With the Lions on the horizon the Pack faithful that they can get get lucky like Daft Punk one more time, as it’s been safety and D scoring the majority of the points.

If the Packers do make the playoffs, they will limp in against a slew of top teams who will be looking to feast on the soft cheese O line, receivers, and melt Aaron Rodgers to the crisp point of brown-there are no more buses to throw people under.

Russ Cooks

The Chiefs took a chin ride from Russ and the Denver D as they irked out a win and gave a menu of how to tomahawk the Kansas defence when push comes to neigh.

When the memes, jibes and jibber jabber comes to play-Russ is cooking as of late, and making the haters eat some words.

Still a loss, but a ten point diss was shaken.

What the Jets

Mike White was white-faced as the New York Jets just seemed to stymie and stall in a must win game.
From a team that was putting dumby scores with a tandem of run and pass, they looked flat against a mediocre Seattle D.

Couldn’t score, didn’t care, didn’t want to be there.
Seattle gets a much needed win to give them a 23.5% chance to make the playoffs, and the Jets got eliminated.
Another rebuilding year then eh?
How many is that?

Thanks for following, reading, listening, and we welcome your input.
Please feel to reach out to us and look forward to a great 2023 season.

56 Preview

February 11, 2022 by nflinlondon

Super Sunday is almost upon us, as everyone gets ready for the big game between the Bengals and the Rams, as we get ready with our 56 Preview. 

It’s Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals versus Matt Stafford and the Rams in an intriguing matchup at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. 

So many questions ahead!
Who will win the big game?

Are the Bengals for real?
What the heck is a SoFi?

Odds

It’s no surprise that the Los Angeles Rams are the big favourites to win Super Bowl 56. 

They were topped at the start of the season to win, and our own Wade McElwain predicted they would be Super Bowl champs at the start of the season. (did you take his picks?)

The Bengals have clawed their way out some deep odd situations all season, but here they are once again ready to pounce from the jungle onto another victim.
Can the Cincinnati kid roll out snake eyes for craps?

For all the Super Bowl 56 odds, head here.
https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nfl/super-bowl-odds/

Which team are you rooting for on Super Sunday?

Will be you be sporting the blue and gold horns of the mighty Rams?
Or will you be orange and black like the cats?

This is the fifth time in SuperBowl history that 2 animal teams will be fighting it out, although if this was a real battle between the two beasts, you would have to give the edge to the mighty tiger. 

Here’s a Youtube clip of the real thing…kidding!

Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow’s Bengals have everything to love, an underdog team that beat the best in the AFC with plenty of speed, guts and attitude.
Despite being young in the game, Joey B shows all the poise and prowess of an NFL veteran, seemingly shredding some of the best D’s in the game with his late down conversions.
Sure, they have little to no O line, but they are still able to make plays with a variety of talent at their disposal. 

Everyone is rooting for Cincy because of how they got there, even if they lose, they’ll still win. 

Los Angeles Rams

Who would have thought that perennial chump Matt Stafford would be the dark shadow in this game.
The Rams have leveraged their draft picks to put together a SuperBowl winning team to win this 2022 season, and it’s looking good.
Despite losing an integral piece in Robert Woods, LA has OBJ’d up in the wide receiver section, and have Cooper Kupp who has been crushing the field all season.
Let’s not forget that D, especially the AD in that D-Aaron Donald. 

Donald will be chasing Burrow all day, every day on Sunday, and his sacks will truly come in some form. 

Commercials

Part of the fun of the Super Bowl are all of the great ads that go along with the game. 

While we don’t get any of these sweet spots in the UK, there is still good old YouTube that acts as a portal to the greatness of corporate media. 

Here are 3 of our all time favourite spots, as well as 3 new spots for 2022. 

Apple 1984

How are we not sure that we aren’t living in this world?

Terry Tate

The officer line backer that charmed our hearts.

Budweiser-Check ID

Hold on! Is that our own Wade McElwain in a Super Bowl commercial?
It sure is! Checking out ID’s.

2022 Commericals

Here are some of the good ones for 2022.

Colin and Scar-Jo take their cuteness to new levels.

The ageless Paul Rudd

There will be loads more as gametime takes us there.

Watching the game

As you can well imagine, most of our venues are totally full for the Super Bowl given that everything is back to normal in the UK. 

If you are still looking for a place to watch the games, you can try both the Sports Bar & Grill in Clapham, and the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
Here is the link.

Playoff Memes

February 4, 2022 by nflinlondon

How meme it is to be in the playoffs!

As many fans of our site know, we love some good memes. They are a great way to represent all of the ‘feels’ that we have after an emotional week, all tightly put together with a witty caption.

The Memery is in full effect, with loads of storylines ripping through the league to make this one of the best weeks ever! Here are your Playoff Memes for this week.

TB12

Adam Shifty Shefter needs to go.

This guy swirls around the bowl looking for fresh turds to write stories on. Many of you will know that he outed Brady’s retirement last week, causing panic in the Bucs and Brady households.
Shefter finally admitted he ‘got it wrong’, but the damage to his career was already done.

Tom Brady did retire, but it’s doubtful he would have done so in the post season during the playoffs if it wasn’t for Shefter.

Diviz Memes

January 27, 2022 by nflinlondon

Geez Louise, what a weekend of NFL we just had! To break it all down, we have some Diviz Memes from the past weekend!

The Bengals get their wild cat on by delivering a vicious thump to the number 1 seed Tennessee Titans, then the 49ers march into Lambeau and leap ahead to the post season.

Not to be outdone, TB12 then steps up Sunday night for a punch for punch game that saw the old dawg head home, and new dawg Matty Stafford finally step up for a win.

Then came the game of the weekend, as the Buffalo Bills and KC Chiefs traded it out for a wicked Sunday evening of NFL.
If you haven’t seen the game, it goes down as one of the greatest NFL Playoff games in our lifetime.
Shame about the result, but what a game!

To honour the weekend that was in the NFL, we have compiled some of the best memes from the Divisional Sunday in the NFL, and popped them into a little post so that you can enjoy them all.
