Playoff Memes

by

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.

Wild Weekend

by

And we move on in the NFL, as the wildcard is now behind us as the post season heats up.

Wade and Ryan are back with another great podcast, as they look at the Wild Weekend that lays behind us.

Have a listen, a laugh and a lather to our latest episode to see how it tickles your fancy.

Among some of the things that the guys discuss in this week’s podcast.

Big Bloated Ben

Ben Roethlisberger seems to have played his last game in the NFL, are swelling his way to his final post season game.

There’s no doubting the legacy of Big Ben, and the Super Bowls he chased and won. Sadly father time has other plans, and they involve keeping Tom Brady alive.

Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be in a world of hurt for the next few seasons if they can’t get a QB whose name isn’t ‘Rudolph’.

Fitzmagic

Fans seeing Ryan Fitzpatrick at the Bills game, shirtless in the frozen tundra all have a bunch of more respect for the dude.

Class act Fitzmagic has always played his heart out for every team he has been on, and has had a magical connection with the fans.

Knowing how loyal Bills fans are, they will probably build a statue to him, only to use the statue to launch themselves onto folding tables.

Card Carrying

The Arizona Cardinals were truly horrible heading into the post season game. They looked lost in the game, and Tyler Murray was suddenly shook by a 4 front that bugged and bothered him all day.

If wee Tyler can’t deal with these types of games and shone through, then maybe he should go back to baseball.

Arizona fell apart when it mattered, and there aren’t many signs to show that they wouldn’t do it again if given the chance.

Burrows

Joe Burrow is getting that swagger as Cincy puts together wins.

After a close call against the Raiders, the Bengals will look to take it to the Titans at home.

Fans have to admire the confidence of Burrow, as he takes his incomplete team to Nashville, for an exciting Saturday game.

Even if the Bengals get stuffed by the Titans, fans know that JB and the boys will be back next season to build on an already great foundation for this team to get more wins.

Meet Jason Bell

The Sports Bar & Grill Clapham will be hosting a Superbowl preview show with ex NFL player Jason Bell on Tuesday Feb 1st.

Initial tickets are £5, but those tickets are limited, and you will want to get them quick.

This is a great chance to ask Jason about the Superbowl, and any other NFL related questions that you might have for the former Texan and Giant.

Then event is being promoted by Budweiser UK, and Give Me Sport.

Get your tickets here!

18 Candles

by

It’s finally the end of the NFL regular season, as we head into the playoffs.

There is particular reason to celebrate this year, as the league was able to overcome COVID, fake vax certificates, Aaron Rodgers, AB, and the addition of another week of regular season play to topple all the old records.

In honour of making it this far, we offer up our 18 Candles podcast, where Wade & Ryan celebrate this extra week of games, by making their picks and predictions for all the games.

Make sure you check out our podcast here, where you can listen to all of the guys predictions for the Week 18 games.

Among some of the games that the guys look at in this podcast includes:

-4 Packers (13-3) vs Lions (2-13-1)  +44.5

The Packers have secured the top seed again, as they coast into the playoffs that have thwarted them for the past decade. With Aaron Rodgers and most of the starters expected to rest, this is a great chance for some of the backups to get some field time.

The Lions have had a woeful, yet inspired season thus far. Despite being the worst team in the league to start the season, the Lions have had some emotional games that have had fans applauding their resilience.

Wade & Ryan both think that this game will be close, although Wade has the plucky Lions winning the game off the inspired play of Jared Goff and the St. Brown.
Ryan likes the Packers to still win the game, but thinks that Detroit could keep it close.

Ryan- Packers 23 Lions 20
Wade- Lions 21 Packers 18

-15.5 Colts (9-7) vs Jaguars (2-14) +44

Indianapolis needs this win to keep them in the playoffs, as well as to upset much of the seedings heading into next week. Carson Wentz and the boys are ready to tumble these division rivals, and put the boot on their throat to move on.

Jacksonville is the worst team in the league…again. The Jags have played the Colts well though this year, keeping the games close despite the running phenom Taylor putting up some MVP like numbers.

Ryan thinks that the Colts will go out here, thrashing Jacksonville, and sending them limping home like Urban Meyer.
Wade points to the fact that the Colts tend to screw up big chances, and this is as big of a chance as any. He likes the Jags to keep it closer than expected.

Ryan- Colts 35 Jags 10
Wade- Colts 30 Jags 23

Bengals (10-6) vs -5.5 Browns (7-9) +38

How can the Browns be favoured in a game against their superior stat rivals?
One of the teams is going to the playoffs, and the other is going to play this game, and hope that they can figure it out in the offseason.

Joe Burrow and the Orange Cat gang can take it easy this week, as they throw out some of the back ups to try to get some field time against their Ohio foes. After an inspired win over the Chiefs last week, they have time to nurse their wounds and prepare for whomever they face on Wildcard Weekend.

Baker is done, Case is on it as the Browns shake and shimmy their line up for Week 18.
The Browns will likely rely on their running game, which has been effective and under used all season.

Ryan and Wade both like the Browns to get a more ‘needed win’ here, as many players might look to outshine their time under the Mayfield microscope.

Ryan- Browns 27 Bengals 10
Wade- Browns 24 Bengals 16

Santa’s Ride

by

Ho Ho Ho’s all around to our NFL in London friends and family around the world.

It’s been a crazy, messed up year, but at least we have some football back right?

Wade and Ryan might be separated by an ocean, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out a new podcast, and video podcast so that you can see our shinning, ugly faces.

In Santa’s Ride, the guys travel the world in this vodcast, talking about the NFL, COVID, NFL fantasy, the playoffs..and of course legal weed.

Week 16 Picks

The guys are happy to share their picks with you for Week 16, even though they know that COVID, injuries and Santa might be playing a role in the outcome on Sunday.

Wade dials his picks in from Canada, while Ryan is doing daddy duty in London.

Sunday Funday

Why not join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street & Clapham.

We have loads of great offers on food, beer and friendship.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa’s Slay

by

What a wild wicked week in the NFL as COVID, injuries, winter and Christmas all had a kick at the league.

Could things get worse for week 16? Who knows?
Hold my beer, as Wade & Ryan break down their week 16 picks in this Santa’s Slay podcast.

If you’ve made it thus far in your fantasy season, congrats!
If you’re already out of your league, no worries…you have another 10 months until the season kicks off again.

Among some of the games Wade & Ryan look at in this podcast, includes:

Browns (7-7) vs -8 Packers (11-3) +44.5

Cleveland steams into week 16 with loads of of issues and plenty of room to screw up.
Baker’s play has been as bad as his acting, with the Browns struggling to make anything happen in another dismal year.

Aaron Rodgers is on his farewell toe tour, watching his MVP chances slip away the more airtime that he gives to Pat Mcafee.
Despite all of this, Rodgers keeps the Packers in the hunt, only to eventually tank in the NFC championship.

A-Aron should continue his winning ways here, as the Browns have been a stinky butthole all season.

Ryan and Wade both think that 8 points is a bit of stretch given that the Browns have quite a few players returning form injury.

Ryan-Packers 26 Browns 23
Wade- Packers 28 Browns 24

-3 LA Rams (10-4) vs Vikings (7-7) +49.5

The Rams continue to trudge towards the playoffs, losing players to COVID and injury along the way. Stafford is trying to carry the team on his bad back, but it’s the defence that has been providing the glue in the tight games.

The Vikings are pains in the butts for many teams. Despite not being good enough to go all the way, they are good enough to play havoc with some of the better teams in the league.
They have enough talent to rip seams in the fabric of better teams, and ruin their chances of spotless playoff play.

Wade is big on the Vikes on this one, as they always play games close, and add a bit of flavour to the proceedings.
Ryan agrees with Wade’s passionate prediction, making both guys big on Minnesota on Sunday.

Wade- Vikings 30 Rams 28
Ryan- Vikings 30 Rams 27

Bills (8-6) vs Patriots -2.5 (9-5) +43.5

Weather this game will be close or not, should be down to the wind, after the last contest was a freeze out.

Mac Jones was perfect in his 3 passes, as Bill Belichick continues to lead penalty free football into the post season. The Patriots will be lucky to face the same Buffalo team, who started to adapt to Bellicose Bill in the second half.

Buffalo needs this win like a wing needs sauce. Dry rubbing their skin into the playoffs isn’t a good idea, as they continue to slide down the ranks of playoff potential.

Ryan is big on Buffalo this weekend, and has all the faith in Josh Allen to thwart the pugnacious Pats in a tight Sunday.
Wade agrees, and thinks this the chance for Buffalo to right the ship into the clear harbour.

Ryan-Bills 24 Patriots 20
Wade- Bills 21 Patriots 18
