I wish the Chiefs would catch a break one of these years.

Yeah, I don't see it either. Belichick needs the Pats and the Pats need him.

Yeah, me too.

But the Saints are still alive and they're poised to beat the Vikings this week. Sorry, Maajo but your Purple People Eaters are going down

They don't have the PPG differential or coaching IMO. They've been competitive over these last handful of years, Reid teams typically compete, but he's never come all that close to winning other than when he took the Eagles (with T.O. and McNabb) to the SB all those years back. They lost pretty bad though. They need to go get a good young QB and start building something long term.

Chiefs can suck a nut but I'm a HUGE Alex Smith fan. I wanted that mofo to go out with guns blazing in KC.

As much as I want to enjoy the Seahawks, I'm not surprised they didn't make the playoffs. They did not play well, in terms of what is needed for a playoffs entry. Atlanta has been playing extremely well this season, and I'm looking forward to watching them throughout. They've sort of become my 2nd team that I look forward to watching.

Can't count out the Eagles with a defense like that. I thought that Atlanta was gonna handle them, but when you can hold teams to 10 points you will always have a chance to win.

Pats turning this into a rout.

Romo was saying before the game that Tennessee had a chance of winning because both their offensive and defensive were bigger and stronger that New England's.

2:20 left in the 3rd - Sacks?

Tennessee - 0
New England - 5

Still ****ing remember watching this almost 10 years ago. We kicked their asses up and down the field and got ****ed by the refs, foul play and ultimately ourselves maybe more than anything else. This was the most tightly contested game I've ever watched in my life, and I hope we can give them some payback tomorrow. It's our year. Bring It Home.

Yeah and the NFL was so pissed that golden boy Favre wasn't going to the Super Bowl that they changed the overtime rules and punished the Saints for Bountygate as if no one else ever did that stuff.

Anyway, I can like the Vikings (sorry, but I thought Favre was a primadonna) again, and if they weren't playing the Saints I might even have been rooting for them.

But I am a Saints fan and the Vikings are going down.
