Loss sets up offseason of change and end of dynasty for Patriots

New England Patriots, NFL / /

Much will be made of the lack of juice to the Patriots passing attack in this game, and Tom Brady certainly didn’t look like the G.O.A.T against the Titans defence. A number of passes were just off in terms of accuracy, or resulted in incompletions due to the quarterback and receiver not being on the same page. There was a notable instance where Brady seemed frustrated with rookie wideout N’Keal Harry on a failed connection, not for the first time this season.

Josh Allen must take a huge step forward if Bills are to be truly competitive

Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, NFL / /

Buffalo coach Sean McDermott had helped lead the Bills to the postseason for the second time in his three years at the helm. Whilst the Bills, like the Texans, have had a potent running attack this year, they made it to the postseason on the back of a smothering defense, which ranked third overall in the league.

NFL, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks / /

The Seattle Seahawks began the season with an impressive 10-2 record, but lost the rhythm, losing three of their last four games, including losses to both the Rams and Cardinals. There’s no doubt that the momentum is on the Eagles’ side for this one, and with home advantage, where their defence has been notably better this season.

New contract. Pastures new. Retirement. Some of the possibilities facing the QBs currently not under contract for 2020 and beyond. Nine signal callers will end the 2019 season as unrestricted free agents. For some, the choice may seem obvious, others are not so blessed with this luxury.

Niners triumph over Seahawks: Game of Inches

NFL, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks / /

Al Pacino’s famous speech in the hit football movie ‘Any Given Sunday’ is just about as cheesy and pulpy as you can get when it comes to football-inspired speeches. Pacino’s character, coach Tony D’Amanto delivers, ‘life’s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small — I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.’
