NFL Films is what got me into the sport. They made the game mythical with the music and the narration.
I'm a bit of an Historian, so getting to see footage from any era is great.
Hearing from the legends who played, just amazing.

They do show NFL Films here, but not enough for my liking, it must be a massive archive. The most recent one I watched was after the passing of Dick Butkus, which also featured Gale Sayers.

I have to go to YT to find the some of the archive
Lot of great stuff on there.
Some game yesterday, huh
I like the idea of a Black Friday game, but without Rodgers, Jets have no offense.
That Hell Mary was ridiculous.
The Dolphins have a great offense, just need to show it against good teams.

Rammy will be delighted to see that the Bears had a last minute field goal to win over the Vikings 12-10. The Bears scored their 4 field goals in what must have been the most boring game ever. The Vikings and Bears punters should ask for a pay rise.

But Rammy will accept the win, I would,

^^
I ain't complaining

The Bears are still alive in the playoff hunt
It's a longshot, but the NFC is pretty jumbled right now
Big one tomorrow night could help the Bears cause

Some classic games in week 12 - Jags 21 - Texans was a great match-up between 2 of the best young QB's in the league, both Lawrence & Stroud has 300 passing yards. It was heading for O/T until Stroud got sacked & pushed the Jags out of their kickers Field-Goal range.

Eagles 37 - 34 Bills delivered an O/T finish. The Bills dominated in yardage, but the Eagles find a way & fought back strongly in the 4th Qtr.

Bears 12 - 10 Vikings was a terrible game that I enjoyed. The Vikings score the only TD of the game, but Dobbs was beyond poor with 4 int's. Fields hung in under pressure & found one decent long pass on their final drive to deliver the go-ahead field-goal.

Week 13 Cowboys 41 - 35 Seahawks - A great battle with the Gino Smith int being a major difference. A crazy game with no punts at all, but 19 penalties. A big surprise that a strong Dallas defense gave up so many points & yards.

I'm no expert on how these things work but earlier in the week the 49ers were around 3 points favourites to beat the Eagles. Can't be right the Eagles at home and a superior record, this will only fire them up more, not that they need extra motivation.
I think that both the Eagles & Cowboys have the best chance to win the Super Bowl this time round. I still feel that the inexperience of Purdy will count against the 49ers.

The 49ers are still favored.
It is disrespectful. The Eagles have been winning a lot of close games, while the 49ers have been blowing teams out. That shouldn't be the only indicator on who's the better team (Dolphins blow out a lot of bad teams, but struggle against good ones)

Should be a really good game, as the Eagles have been in a lot of really good ones of late (winning close games is more important than blowing out teams in my opinion)

I think the 49ers will find a way to win, just cause if they don't, they have no shot at Home-Field Advantage.

Texans 22 - 17 Broncos
As a 49er fan I knew that DeMeco Ryans would make a great Head Coach, but nobody expected first year success with what appeared to be an average squad, surely coach of the year. Shroud has been a revelation.
