The Snap UK (An American Football Podcast) – Details, episodes & analysis

Week 8 is in the books, and we discuss all the games of the week, including:

• Jets lose to a Pats team without their Starting QB
• Bills are great against the Seahawks
• Lions might be the stand out team in the league at the moment
• Chiefs are 7-0 despite not blowing anyone away
• Are the Eagles finally starting to click
• Are the Bengals playoff hopes over?
• The Ravens have their customary occasional stumble against a poor team
• That Hail Mary was pretty special/funny wasn't it?

We discuss our usual Sweetest Play of the Week, the Biggest Balls of the Week gets a make over, and it's Cornerback turn for our Hall of Good nominations.

Week 7 is in the books, and we start with the Jaguars winning their customary game at Wembley, where a few of us went to watch.

Elsewhere:

• Lions beat Vikings in a classic game
• Packers beat the Texans in a game that promised much, but didn't live up to expectations.
• Broncos continue to improve
• Jets changes haven't really brought much improvement
• Eagles aren't great, but Saquon is
• Griff gets to talk about Marcus Mariota

Our customary awards, for Sweetest Play of the Week, and it's the Wide Receivers turn for nominating for Hall of Good, and there are some great nominations

Justin Simmons gets signed by the Falcons, who also sign Judon.

Who else is getting signed, and who is coming back from injury, and teams are starting to announce QBs

We get into who needs a big year, either because of contracts, reputation, or just a future in the league.

We then start looking at Fantasy, and who are the first round certainties, who may drop, and what are you looking for in a QB?

The SuperBowl is this weekend, and who is going to come out on top as the Bengals play the Rams in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Will Joe Burrow pull the Bengals through to the biggest prize in the sport, or will Aaron Donald finally grab his chance to win a SuperBowl ring?

We also have to discuss the new coach hires, from the Jags hiring Doug Pederson, to the Texans reverting to being very Texans, and what about the Rooney Rule, is it fit for purpose?

We now know who is in the Super Bowl, and just like we predicted, it's the Cincinnati Bengals...well maybe not predicted, but it's going to be cool to see Joe Burrow et al in the sports greatest game. They stop Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offence, in a game of two halves. 

The Bengals will be playing the Rams, who make another Super Bowl, and overcome the San Francisco 49ers, and for the second year running the home team make it to the Super Bowl. 

We also discuss the latest Head Coach hires, Sean Payton stepping down, and did Tom Brady retire at the weekend, and what does this mean for the rest of the Buccaneers if so?

We now know who is playing in the Championship games, and for the first time in a decade it won't feature either Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, who were beaten by the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers respectively. A Brady style comeback from the Buccaneers is foiled by the familiar combination of Stafford to Cooper Kupp at the end to set up Matt Gay, and the 49ers win a low scoring game with Robbie Gould set up with time expiring. 

Joe Burrow is sacked a record times by the Titans, but the Titans defence are let down by an anemic performance from the offence and somehow the Bengals are in the Championship game. 

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have a game of the year contender, and open up all sorts of questions about overtime. 

Super Wildcard Weekend was a lot of fun, and some of the games were good, whilst the Eagles and Patriots were at least in the Playoffs. 

Who takes the momentum onwards out of the Chiefs and Bills?

Packers and 49ers is too tight to call

Who gets through when the Buccaneers host the Rams?

Can the Bengals keep their hot streak going, and get past the rested Titans and the Derrick Henry?

What with so much to cover this week, we've looked into the upcoming Super Wildcard Weekend games in a seperate episode. Who do we think will make it through the next weekend games, and into the Super Divisional Round?

With a host of new Head Coach positions up for grabs, which of the free slots are most appealing?

As the Regular Season is now over, who is in the lead of our Power Rankings as we head into the Post-Season?

We now know who is going to make the Playoffs, and the Chargers miss out at the last as Steelers and Raiders make up the contingent for the AFC, whilst the 49ers win at the Rams and are in the Playoffs for the NFC.

The Jaguars play ruiners, and beat the Colts in Jacksonville again, and cost Indianapolis a chance to make the Playoffs.

All the week 18 games are covered, as Green Bay lead the NFC despite a loss against the Lions, and Titans beat the Texans to get the bye in the AFC. 

Broncos, Bears & Vikings are now looking for new Head Coaches (with the latter two also on the search for GMs) whilst for some reason the Dolphins have fired Brian Flores. We started the record with New York Giants looking for a new GM, then finish with Joe Judge also fired, and the Giants also looking for a new Head Coach. 

Week 17 of the NFL season and we're at the business end of the season and there were results which affected Playoff standings

The Bengals come back to win against the Chiefs

The Steelers remain in contention beating the Browns

The Titans take the lead in the AFC

The Packers remain imperious against the depleted Vikings

Cardinals stop the slump by beating the Cowboys, who lose Gallup to an ACL injury

All this plus all the games that matter to the playoffs, and the few that don't.
