3-1 for the playoffs so far for me. Would have been 4-4 if the Chiefs had won their game. I did not expect the Titans to win that one.
So the Patriots have stomped the Titans every time the teams have played. Got any takers for Tennessee in this game?
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
I read this morning that the Eagles are a 2.5 underdog....AT HOME. And that’s all because of the uncertainty hovering over Nick Foles and his less than stellar outings as Carson Wentz’s replacement. Philly’s defense will have to step up big time to shut down Atlanta's offense which didn’t look all that imposing against the Rams, keep Ryan, Jones, Sanu and their RB’s in check and our chances improve considerably. On offense, Philly will need to lean on the likes of Jay Ajayi and Lagarrette Blount while reconfiguring the passing game to short passes, limiting how long Foles holds onto the ball since he isn’t a fraction as mobile as Wentz and can’t improvise when the pocket breaks down. That said, this might be a defensive battle with the Eagles winning 20-14.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Well there won't be an excuse if the Raiders don't win the division next year. The Chiefs are expected to now have to replace Nagy and Childress on the coaching staff. Brad Childress is retiring after 19 NFL seasons as a coach . This leaves Reid having to replace both guys and also likely move Alex Smith. So the team will have new coaches in key positions and a new young QB starting. Raiders...you are on the clock.

Do you guys think there should be a maximum age that people are allowed to be NFL refs? Like in soccer.
Not especially, maybe a grading system where if you're consistently bad enough you start incurring penalties or required training before you can officiate again or something, but I wonder if Jeff Triplette's retiring might not be a bit forced because those two forward progress calls he made that wiped out both Mariotta's fumbles might be the worst calls I've ever seen in the history of the game, and they absolutely decided a playoff game

The NFL should have professional refs like most other sports.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I'm starting to think that concussion protocol needs to be reviewed and enforced by a neutral party, not the individual teams.

Since the first game where the Jaguars crushed Pit... Bortles has gone for 2534 yards 11 td's and 9 pics. Ben has gone for 3152 yards 24 td's and 7 pics.. I'm not counting the Jags out, but Bortles is going to have to throw the ball to win. Temps are gonna be around mid 20's, not 77 like the last time they played. Thats a huge advantage to the Steelers.
