Great pick by Clowney. Dang.

Pass rush is everything. Welcome to Cleveland Garrett.

If you don't have a QB, you better have a pass rush. That's you're next hope at winning in the NFL. So yeah, give us a Front-7 that can do that.

Allen or Garrett (whomever WANTS to be here).

Osweiller clearly wants his job back.

Raiders are 0-for-10 on 3rd down. Cook's in over his head.

Houston v Oakland....this game sucks.

Too many Cooks spoil the broth and today, one was too many.

Go Lions. If there's ever hope for us to win a playoff game, we have to root on a team like Detroit.

Yes. Cook definitely looked out of his league.

hoping for detroit

+1

It looks like the refs have other ideas about who should win this one.

The 13th man?

Don't they always?

...so yeah, Lions have a 25 year playoff win drought. We knew that, but they just mentioned that 1957 was their last road playoff win. Anybody want to guess when ours was? I had to look it up because I didn't think I've ever seen one (!!--STOP reading if you want to guess==!!).












December 28, 1969
Cleveland 38
Dallas 14

I was born 3+ years later. Damn.

I knew I remember watching it, I was 13 ...

So who looked better in their first start- Cook or Kessler?

hoping weeden gets some throws in playoffs. lol. all i get is to root for ex browns...

lol i was -16 yrs old

Feel bad for Oakland...got to play their Rookie who was not prepped to play this year and didn't take snaps with the ones or even scout O.

Oh and face the #1 Defense in football...lol Welcome to our World...lol

thought that play calling in the beginning was stupid. Run up the middle and nothing but screen passes...Gee ya think the Texan's D was ready for a screen.

Defense can win a Championship. Too bad the Texan's O sucks, yesterday was about as good as it gets.

Lions...didn't stand a chance either as Seahawks has their D dialed up to good form.

I felt bad for Oakland too. Oh well.

P.S. Clowney looked great yesterday - a beast on the field.

I knew Cook would have a rough go. Their LT was out. Their backup T was out. And they were facing a very good defense. Like others, I felt bad for Oakland and I don't even like them.

On the other hand, while I don't like Osweiler, I was relieved to see him not completely sucking. He had a lot of pressure on him.

He wasn't getting a lot of help from his receivers. He put a number of them on the spot only to see them dropped.

You guys are old. I was 9.

The refs where wearing pink skirts with dayglow green tops today.

Should be two pretty good games today. I'm excited about watching some good football.

Lets go Dolphins!!!!

Why is my NFL game in Spanish?

Fins for the win!

Sigh...I really hate the steelers

I'd hate them a little less if they sucked a whole lot more.

Did Miami hire Horton already?

Screw em... They were in the playoffs..had a 12 win season... And when Carr gets healthy will have their franchise qb back... I don't feel sorry for them at all....

OK Pittsburgh...let's roll. I hate New England with a passion.

pittsburgh is really, really good

Sigh....

Pittsburgh win they play KC....how do they match up?

NE will massacre Houston on live TV.

Kansas City always seems to play tough at home. Pittsburgh is on a roll though. Should be a good game if Pittsburgh wins today.

I kinda think the "ball crossing the plane" rule is lame. I mean, just looking at Bell's right there it barely, like an inch, crosses "the plane". It would be more interesting if a touchdown were more like rugby...the scoring player literally touches the ball down in the end zone box.

In rugby where the ball is placed also determines the extra point angle.

Just shows how far away we still are

Should be a great game.

How do the Steelers always get away with scrums like that but no flags get thrown? So dumb.

RIP moore

Eject that bastard!

ON CUE

At least his teammates stood up for him...

If a Brown had done that he'd be suspended 6 games. Between this and the Seattle/Lions game last night, the officiating is pure BS.

I'd vote for it to be more like soccer... Whole ball has to cross the line...

I hate the Steelers.... That is all...

Suh needs to stomp or bite somebody.

#karma

I'd go with that. The laces or point of the ball barely touching the white line while being pushed back by a LB being ruled a TD is lame.

I think it's time to pull Moore out of there.

i've had like 0 interest in any of the games so far ... either boring or one sided

I agree gonna watch the Jackets at 6

Yeppers, all games so far? One sided. Ick.

Playoff Eli is back...

Cook picked it up some, but really worthless early. As expected.

Giants packers has probably been the closest game so far.... But man these offenses aren't very good...

Wow... I wish we had Rodgers... Has been off all game and then throws a dart down the field to get them at first and goal...

Holy cow what a touchdown play... Rodgers looked like he'd be sacked twice and threw a great ball for the touchdown...

Nelson stays injured.

pocket awareness and the guts to throw a ball to a guy who is COVERED! dang

All this game needs is some snow.

wowwww

How many Hail Marys have we seen Rodgers make over the years? It's sick.

At least this one is living up to what we hoped. The other three were terrible.

Rainey omg lmfao

Watching these two QB's throw to guys who are covered with confidence is depressing.

Why not us? smh

aaron rodgers is killing it! omg

Wildcard weekend sucked.

yep

Cowboys / Packers should be a good one next week.

So we got...

Houston vs NE (most likely a blow out)
Pitts vs Kansas City - could be a good game depending on big bens injury
Seahawks vs Falcons - Seahawks defense against the Falcons offense could be interesting
And
Packers vs Cowboys which should be the best game of the weekend

Go Falcons!

The Pats game opened with a line of 16.5, biggest since 1989. I think it'll grow too. Brady will make that very good Texans defense look silly. Blowout.

Pitts will destroy the Chiefs. Alex Smith, not a fan.

I have no idea about the Seahawks/Falcons. Could be a great game with 80+ total points. I'd want the Falcons. So tired of Seattle's "12" fans.

Packers/Cowboys, dang....that could be really good. I don't like rooting for the Cowboys, but it's an easy thing to get over if the Packers are playing.

#AnyoneButPittsburghAndGreenBay

These games were all so one sided , but I ain't surprised. Hopefully they will be closer next weekend.

j/c:

--Pittsburgh's 3 B's are so darn good. They have a chance against anyone w/those three.

--I have never seen a RB hesitate, and even stop, like Bell does. It's almost unbelievable. And it almost always works. I'm serious. I have NEVER seen anything close to it.

--Harrison is amazing for his age. He was dominant in the game. He pressured the qb, stopped the run, and maintained outside containment. Guy is a freak of nature.

--I am worried that Nelson might have broken his ribs in the second game. That would be a big loss.

--Rodgers is the best qb in football. The guy's pocket presence is uncanny. He buys so much time by moving up, back, and to the side. And that arm........oh my goodness.

Yes, isn't Bell somethin' else? A real trip to watch play. What technique he has. It will be interesting to see if he is copied.

I don't think that is something that would ever be coached. We teach patience, but not like that....LOL

Dude just has some freakish innate ability that is unmatched.

Best game of the year is next week-



Andy Reid is 19-2 after a bye week.

three good games next weekend, thank goodness

seattle at atlanta
pittsburgh at kansas city
green bay at dallas

I think that the upcoming round of the playoffs has been traditionally the best weekend of the year.

You must of hit the SAP button on your remote. Or if they asked if you wished to hear in Spanish you hit the select button by mistake.

???

Again a back up QB Moore not ready for the big game and they were in it but made the mistakes at the worst time.

His RB knocked the ball out of his hands in one of those fumbles. They just made those mistakes and the Steelers took advantage of them...Oh and the Steelers had their usual REF breaks in the beginning of the game as well...lol

Giants WRs should have stayed in Miami...they dropped a lot of key passes early on to have the Packers take over the game and that last second Hail Mary at the half hurt...welcome to our world.

jmho

I agree on Bell ... its incredible how he literally stops behind the line ... looks around and then darts through the hole if it's there ... NEVER seen anything even close to it ... I find myself screaming at the tv .. "what r u doing .. run u jackass" .... then 8 yards later i'll be saying to myself .. "damm that guys good" .... *L* ...

Ben struggles on the road ... and he has been making more bad decisions and throws this year than in years past ... i wonder if he's starting to decline??? ...

I expect KC to handle them as Pitt is not a good road team ....

What Rodgers did against what IMO is the best D in football was pretty incredible ... especially w/o nelson the 2nd half ... losing cromartie was big ... but he still was incredibly impressive ... Rodgers is playing as good as anyone that ever played the game right now ... he's carried them the last 2 months ...

Losing Nelson would be a big loss ...

He still has Adams and Cobb ... Adams is VERY UNDERRATED ... he's one hell of a receiver ...

Looking forward to next weekends games ... should be much better than this weeks crap ...

Sheesh, I find myself rooting AGAINST him. yuk yuk

In all seriousness, I want the Chiefs to destroy the Steelers so bad that consulting legal authorities is considered.

I bet u didn't have him on 2 fantasy teams did u? ... *LOL* ...

LOL. NOPE!

I think it's because Trump hasn't built the wall yet.

Did u hear about trump's new telephone prompts for customer service? ...

Press 1 for English ...

Press 2 to terminate this call until u learn to speak english ...

*LOL* ... i thought that was funny as hell ...

I don't think it's funny.

I think it is alienating.

Freezing rain possible in Kansas City this weekend, could make things interesting.

definitely interesting Hope Le'Veon is up to the task! Can't wait.

Texans @ Patriots -- Pats Easy
Steelers @ Chiefs -- KC in a tight one
Seahawks @ Falcons -- Falcons at home
Packers @ Cowboys -- Toughest Pick But I'll Go With Rodgers over the Rookies

All I know is that there are three awesome match-ups.

It's the best weekend in football.

I have the same predictions.

Agreed...the Cream is all at the top (Home field has won all their games)

This and then the Great Games - Conference Championships have always been the best.

I wonder is all Home teams will win this week!

Exactly what you want with playoff football.

Can't wait for KC v Pitt. Hopeful for a Chiefs victory.

Patriots
Steelers
Seahawks
Cowboys

KC has awesome crowds at night.

Patriots
Steelers *puke*
Falcons
Cowboys

I don't know about you guys but I think this Steelers/KC game is boring as heck.

Lots of commercials. Andy and Opie fishing. What gives?

This isn't EE. Put the pipe down and slowly walk away.

I am pumped for the Falcons game.

It'd be real swell if we had a defense like Seattles.

That sax was legit, great anthem!

Julio is destroying Sherman

This has all the makings of a 100 point game.

Yep.. Not much defense...

Hester still got it.

This game is getting crazy lol

Remember, Gabriel wasn't good enough to play for the Browns.

They have our Shanny also. He turned their offense into a machine.

Mack just a beast for them. Got to feel good for Mack, Gab, and Shanny for getting the hell out of loserville.

Gee, that Alex Mack guy looks pretty good.

Hey, that Taylor Gabriel isn't too bad with a real QB.

Didn't we have a chance to get that Julio Jones fella? Oh yah, we traded that pick away, huh, we would have let him go after a couple years, anyway...oh well.

totally jealous of these teams

The Cleveland Falcons have taken full advantage of the Browns' ineptitude. Maybe we'll trade the first pick to them and they can add another great play-maker like Julio and we can take another worthless NT by the likes of Taylor.

Nail in the coffin!

Kind of crazy how great Ryan has been considering how bad he was last year.

What's the better game:

Green Bay at Atlanta?

Atlanta at Dallas?

Swish/Candy - Seattle will hi say to Dallas from the GOLF COURSE ....

lol I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. Dallas gets to face the best QB in the NFL tomorrow.

Atlanta at Dallas would be pretty epic.

They may be at the same golf course ... u never know .... *L* ...

The best unit in football vs the best player in football ...

Nelson will be a big loss but they have the potential to make it up ...

Adams, Cobb, Montgomery, Cook aren't exactly chopped liver ....

Should be a good one .... the snoopers coming up next ...

Lol, unfortunately that crap is gonna show up as an interception

Go Falcons

Congrats Falcon Fans.

No matter who wins tomorrow, I dunno if the cowboys or packers defense can stop the falcons O.

I had no idea the Falcons were/are that good. (I'm too busy watching the Browns on Sunday. )

I said the same thing... Not sure I saw a falcon game all year... Their offense looks unstoppable

if you don't have a offense that can put up 23 to 26 points a game
you can forget about making the playoffs
I hope Hue can realize that
funny how the Falcons took on 3 players from the North and all 3
became integral in the Falcons journey so far

This Patriots game is gonna be like watching a division 3 team high school team versus Alabama.

Have you watched the Texans... I know they are in a terrible division which is why they made the playoffs.... But they average like 17 points a game... Just have an amazing defense..

This is kind of cruel. The Texans players have kids that are probably going to watch this game.

the Texans have a very good defense
but I will take a elite qb beating a very good defense every day all day.
you just can't ride a defense to the Super Bowl any more

Crazy.... Texans down 1...

well so far their kids are pretty happy with their dads right now

Clowney just destroyed Brady

Nice push off by Edelman. No call

Texans are tired of being trashed talk by everybody. that goal line stance tho

Texans will probably lose this game but they can hold their heads up high right now... Take away that kick off return and this is a different game....

huge goal line stand
big momentum changer

Well, we definitely have more competition for a QB now.

Add Houston to that list.

Brock is so frustrating to watch. This Texans D and playmakers are outstanding, and he just doesn't push the ball downfield at all. And the ONE time he did, Fuller dropped a dime in the end zone.


Brady seems off tonight. He's playing great, and the picks aren't really on him, but is it just me or do most of his throws seem like they're floating? I always remember watching Brady just whip the rock around the field. Now it just looks like it's floating everywhere (albeit, extremely accurate and effective).

Maybe I'm off base.

No, I'm seeing it too and I don't really have an eye for this kind of stuff. It's almost as if Brock's field vision doesn't extend beyond 15 yards from the pocket. He just won't throw or even look out there.

I noticed a 3rd and 5 earlier where Hopkins got passed to the safety 1-on-1 and had most of the middle of the field wide open. Any NFL QB is salivating for that chance. They'd loft it up and pick up 30-40 yards and possibly 6 points....but Brock never looked and chose a 3 yard pass that fell behind the WR.

It's almost funny to say, but the Texans should have won this game. They made mistakes, couldn't score without Brock's mistakes and were daring the Texans to go deep.

Even with the game over, I'm watching because of the 16.5 line. A lot of people thought the Pats would kill them by 30...Vegas was right (as of now).

As for Brady, this is a good Texans defense. They're getting in his face, knocking him down and there seems to be a bit of rust as well. If the Steelers win tomorrow, I hope Brady wakes up because Pittsburgh would destroy tonight's Pats team.

at least 5 former Cleveland Browns played in the playoff games on Saturday.

Jabal Sheard, Dion lewis, Taylor Gabriel, Atyba Rubin, and Alex Mack made appearances.

(not that it makes a difference either way,)

... I saw that wr pick play for a td in the early game.

Man! can the Browns learn how to do that, ? , can they teach Hawkins and Coleman to work together on some of those.

Might be nice.

Pats have made it to the AFC championship game 6 years in a row and 12 times total under BB.

meanwhile the browns have had 3 winning seasons in my life ... or something like that

j/c:

A few comments on yesterday's games:

--It's irritating to see all the ex-Browns winning w/the Falcons. Remember all the posts on here that said stuff like: The Browns won 3 games last year, how good could any of those players be?" LOL....

--Shanny is a genius when it comes to his play design and route tree. Oh, the route tree thang...."That" got a laugh out of it and used it over and over and over. Still laughing? Anyway, I don't know if he would be a great HC, but he is the most innovative OC in the NFL, and of course, the Browns alienated him and didn't want him.

--Seattle played dirty. And they hold on every play when they are on defense. Sherman gets away w/murder.

--Seattle's OL blows. Can't win w/an OL that is that bad.

--Atlanta has improved on D and they are fast, but they are not that good and will get exposed.

--Mack really solidified that OL. He is truly a great player, despite what so many people said on here.

--Houston's D is legit. Mercilus is a great player. I liked him coming out of Illinois, but he has exceeded my expectations. He is so fast, so versatile, so disruptive.

--Losing Demps hurt Houston.

--Osweiler played okay in the first half. The game got away from them in the second. His delivery is funky. Very compact. I always wonder if being that tall is almost a detriment. He almost throws the ball like a dart rather than w/a traditional motion.

--Lewis is a difference maker. Banner traded for him the year we traded the bum, TRich. People forget about that. Too bad he got hurt here, although Farmer probably would have cut him anyway.

--Eddleman is one of the toughest guys in all of football. He takes no crap from anyone and is constantly kicking ass.

--Brady is great, but I get sick of him complaining about getting hit. He is afforded more protection by the refs than any player in the league.

--I have one question: What was 40 talking about when he said the Steeler/KC game is boring and has too many commercials?

Falcons defense will be their downfall.

Osweiler for as tall as he is doesn't drive the ball downfield.he has the mechanics of a schoolyard qb..

Belichek does a great job of riding a hot player for 4 quarters. I've never seen a offense where aa many players
have had a multiple tds game. Blount...one week...Lewis...
Tim Wright a couple years back...Bennett....

The Falcons offense is on par with the Steelers
everyone gets involved
before it was White and Jones
now any of 5 playears can score at any time

Today should be exciting day in the NFL. Both games have the making of a classic.

My nephew was born in KC and now lives in Boston. For his birthday his girlfriend bought him tickets for this game! So, he flew in yesterday. Lucky man!

Go Kansas City!

I wondered the same thing. He might be from the future.

j/c...again every home team has won!

Seattle's OL is the worst.
Wilson has not looked himself not a good game for him.

Ryan has played amazing. Mack has done their OL wonders. Bad 2015 in Shanny's first year. What a difference year two makes and two additions Mack and Gabriel knew the O.

Those RBs as WRs are tough match ups.

Pats made some very key mistakes or that game was a laugher. Game plan against Brady and other great QBs is no surprise...hit him and hit him often.

TE miss match not there due to injuries...so the Pats go with RB miss matches in the passing game.

Happy for Dion Lewis he has had a tough go with injuries.

Thought BB was going to rip off the head of that DB who got the 15 yard penalty after stopping the Texans.

Pats took away the running game and had the Texans throw a lot more than they wanted to. The many air reps exposed their QB.

Hope the home wins continue today!

jmho - key in Dallas...Ezekial!

I'm disappointed that the Chiefs vs Steelers got moved to prime time. I like 1PM starts because I'm not in my "Sunday night, staring down the barrel of another work week mood" yet. Now I'll probably just skip it.

I think I heard during the game that Atlanta is the only team in the league that had the same 5 players start every game along the offensive line?

if i'm dallas i'm drafting pass rushers and DB's in every single round.

The Boys are on verge of getting blown out at home.

rodgers is nasty

I expected more from Dallas than this.

Aaron rodgers looks like he out there playing 7 on 7 drills. playing catch with his WR's

Sickens me to think we're going to have to watch a Steelers vs. Packers Super Bowl, again.

We might see a 28-3 halftime score. The Boys better put 7 on the board here.

Man, this years playoffs have had mostly stinkers.

But that offensive line can beat anybody... kept hearing that. You need a QB...you need a QB...you need a QB!

And hey Dak could be that, but he's no Aaron Rodgers.

Dak is a rookie. of course he isn't aaron rodgers.

but he doesn't have to be.

Go, Pack, go. Only thing sickening here to me is this Stooler talk.

Cowboys starting to wake up...

I know a few on here like the Pack because they're a small market like us...but Packer fans are the most arrogant NFL fans I've ever come across. Plus, they've essentially been an elite team for what feels 15 years. I'm done with them, Pats too.

Steeleer fans tend to be more bandwagony, not all of them. It seems like you could walk up to half of them and ask to name 4 active Steeler players and they wouldn't be able do it past Ben, Bell & Brown.

They're my two least favorite teams in the NFL. Ravens and Bengals are behind the Packers.

Packers falling apart now.

Prescott looking better than Rodgers.

I'm rooting for the Falcons. Partly because they are from Atlanta and partly because they are the only likeable team left. At least, likeable to me. I cant stand any of these other teams. The Chiefs are borderline ok.

looks to be down to the wire here, mabye ot

Dallas staging the epic comeback!

It's game on in Arlington!

I'll bet the Boys blow the 2 pointer.

Prescott plays like a 10 year vet.

I owe everyone $5. Crap.

tied

Bye Romo.

They can feel free to trade Tony Romo to us.

If the Browns had drafted him, he would have been booed out of the stadium after his first poor start. Fans and Cleveland talking heads would have said he doesn't have it. He's a bust.

We would be dumb not to pursue Romo.

So we wont.

Nah, he's made of glass. Him and RG3 wouldn't make it out of the preseason behind our line.

Romo needs to go to Denver or the Texans. Win now.

I'd like to see KC v Atlanta in the SB with KC to win it all.

Houston have too much invested in Brock. They wont make that trade now. It would be admitting failure.

They've already benched Brock in favor of Savage. If Savage wouldn't have gotten concussed, he would have started both playoff games. It's over for Brock there and everyone knows it. They'll make a move for a QB this offseason. Brock won't be the opening Texans starter next year.

There was rumor talk, only by a few in the media, that the Browns would trade for Brock just to eat his salary next season. We'd get their first or second and they'd walk away from the contract since we have so much cap space. Essentially, we'd be buying a pick off of them. Not sure if we'd play him, but it would save the Texans from having him walking the sidelines in an obvious awkward situation.

After watching him last night, I don't think I'd want him anywhere near our team. He's so frustrating (unless we would immediately cut him).

I remember in the preseason I said how.impressive Dak looked right out the gate and the experts kept on saying
"wait till he plays a real NFL defense.....or its only preseason "
where are they at now?

That throw by Rodgers!! Holy crap insane!

I absolutely despise the ice the kicker TO.

great job by Cook getting feet in

That catch

God what it would be like to have a QB like that...

Telling ya....Packers and Steelers Super Bowl.

What a finish to that game. I thought that last FG was going to be wide left.

I just looked at the top 10 of that draft. Oh my...

1 1 San Francisco 49ers Alex Smith † QB Utah MWC
1 2 Miami Dolphins Ronnie Brown † RB Auburn SEC
1 3 Cleveland Browns Braylon Edwards † WR Michigan Big Ten
1 4 Chicago Bears Cedric Benson RB Texas Big 12
1 5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Carnell "Cadillac" Williams RB Auburn SEC
1 6 Tennessee Titans Adam "Pac-Man" Jones † CB West Virginia Big East
1 7 Minnesota Vikings Troy Williamson WR South Carolina SEC from Oakland
1 8 Arizona Cardinals Antrel Rolle † CB Miami (FL) ACC
1 9 Washington Redskins Carlos Rogers † CB Auburn SEC
1 10 Detroit Lions Mike Williams WR USC Pac-10

Rodgers was 24th.

If you guys know any cowboy fans, please talk them off the ledge

GREEN BAY PACKERS FOR THE WIN! Now THAT'S NFL football! Yeah baby!

Packers - Patriots

Hoping for Falcons - Patriots, but still don't trust Matty Ice.

I do, but I'm kind of enjoying this.

OK by me. Dallas is out. New England being out would be just fine. Packers win would be sweet.

I'm going Packers vs Pats Superbowl.

During the college season last year we were in bar with a handful of Browns fans talking about QBs and my dad says "I think the Browns should go for Dak Prescott at Miss St.". He was boo'ed, hissed and laughed at for publicly saying it.

It's all good dad....you got the last laugh on everybody.

I have to question Dallas wasting a down on their last possession. One, they preserved more time for Rodgers and two, they should have just run a play. Don't like that at all.

They should have been playing for the win anyway. "Play for the tie, you die."

Aaron Rodgers is amazing. What a game! I didn't even really care who won and I was a nervous wreck towards the end! Now that's a good game!

that was a very entertaining game, even with GB brown-like secondary,(gunter probably isn't welcome in that state) shows you can win with an elite QB, he doesn't have anyone special at WR, but he elevates everyone. I think he's the most complete QB in game. Pack vs Patriots, not sure why people keep saying steelers, they don't scare anyone

And they have a WR who converted to RB earlier in the season (#88).

Go, CHIEFS. GO!!!

looks like steelers o is unstoppable

Until they get to the redzone

How come every time I watch a chiefs game its always so hazy in the stadium?

This game is playing right into the Chiefs hands.

I hate that Bell is so good

I went to college in KC and it is often foggy in the winter. It is SO flat and it is on a river so the fog lingers. If it is not that then it must be all the BBQ!

packers at falcons
steelers at patriots


I think steelers vs packers .. again

I feel like NFC games are more fun to watch/better quality/have more energy than AFC games.

Chiefs O just can't keep it going.

Please don't make me be a die-hard Pats fan next werk!

Nothing but field goals and now their first punt.

And the Steelers are winning.

Kansas City just needs a field goal this drive.

Kelce is an idiot.

What a dope.

Maclin just bailed out Kelce.

I love Justin Houston. He ripped Kelce for that BS.

Yay, 3 points.

Wow a bunch of Greg Littles on KC. How many more can they freakin drop.

If KC lose this I want Atlanta to go all the way.

Bored of NE, bored of GB, hate Pitt....yea, Falcons it will be!

Come on, Chiefs!

KC just hanging on by a thread. You can only bend so much without breaking.

Who would have bet KC would be outscored by Houston (in progress of course, but still)?

I'll agree with that.

Boy is Pitt dirty!!!!

Something I've noticed from Kansas City. They have dumb but talented athletes.

Chiefs are just killing themselves with penalties.

Alright Chiefs.

Time for your pass rushers to heat up.

Go Pats!!!!

I hate em.
I hate em, I hate em, I hate em.

Andy Reid is a modern day Marty

Alright Pittsburgh Steelers! Time to knock the Patriots out next week!

Bummer. Oh well. Moving over to the NFC now.

Go Falcons!

AFC: Go Pats
NFC: Don't care

KC lost without allowing their opponent to score a TD.

That's just sad.

Alex Smith is about as undynamic as it gets. Having him is the equivalent of being in NFL purgatory. Good enough to not want to make a change and hold out hope, but not good enough to elevate the play of those around him when it really matters.

Tough situation.

There's a reason Harbaugh left his ass on the bench when Kap took over in San Fran.

Matt Hassleback effect

People give Alex Smith credit for being "smart." He made a lot of bad throws. Granted, his WRs screwed the pooch, but I didn't see a lot of smart throws tonight. He looked like an athlete trying to play QB.

AND at home too.

Pitiful.

I've had a sneaking feeling for months. Pittsburgh is the most complete team and will win the Super Bowl.

http://thebiglead.com/2017/01/15/aaron-rodgers-made-up-play/

Rodgers made up last play in the huddle

Well done sir.

When I saw the holding call on the 2 point conversion I was worried it was going to be very questionable. I thought, that is such a Steelers thing to happen, to get a ticky tack call in that moment. Then they showed it and I was somewhat relieved that it was a very obvious call.

i haven't seen the line yet, but I assume NE will be a slight (3-4 point) favorite. I'd put some money on Pittsburgh. I strongly feel they're going to win.

fyi, just looked the spread .. it's NE -5.5. I'm all over Pitt

I'm not following this line of thinking. I don't think Pitt has a chance.

j/c:

Man, y'all are some negative folks. LOL

Two great games yesterday. I love watching competitive football games. Some thoughts:

--Rodgers is the best QB in football. I think he deserves his own little section:

*I loved when the RG went out of the game w/a broken chin strap. Rodgers unsnaps his and plays a play w/out it. Then, he gives that cocky little grin, says something, and puts it back on. LOL...that was hysterical.

*He is the coolest, most confident QB I have ever seen. It's as if he lives for the big moment. He is smiling on many plays. Looking unfazed at other times. Cool as hell all the time. I think he gives his teammates confidence by just how cool and confident he is. It's remarkable.

*Dude can throw lasers w/out setting his feet and from all arm angles. What a gift. That last pass to Cook was a great example of that. Rolling left, feet not set, not a full delivery, 3/4 motion, and throws a dart that hits the bulls eye. Man!

--Back to the rest. Speaking of Cook, that was an incredible catch. Looked it in, secured it, and somehow kept both feet in. That's a TE we are talking about, folks.

--Other guys like Cobb and Montgomery really stepped-up.

--GB's secondary is really beat up and not playing well.

--Zeke is a true beast. He can do everything you want--and more--from the RB position.

--Dak is very good. The thing that strikes me about him is his poise. I don't ever remember seeing a rookie QB look so poised in a big-time atmosphere. He also has a nice arm and is smart when he scrambles. Comes across a very good leader. He's going to be a good one.

--Both FG kickers were clutch.

--Man, what a great game. That's why I love football!

--The second game was not as exciting in regards to offensive explosion, but it was a hard-fought game between two very physical teams. Sad to see it end due to a hold. That dude was a former first overall pick.

--I think Ben is hurting physically. He isn't moving well at all.

--Bell is the most amazing RB ever. We have talked about his style before, but man, it still confounds me as to just how well it works.

--Did anyone see Brown's speed on that last catch that secured the win? Wow!

--Hill's speed opened up a lot of things for KC because Pittsburgh had to honor that speed.

--Andy Reed is a great play designer. I was talking about Shanny's play design the other day, and I have to say that Reed rivals Shanny in terms of pure play design. Very creative.

--With that said, some of his play calls baffled me. Should have gotten Smith on the move a bit more and gave him a run/pass option. Dude doesn't look like it, but he can run very well.

--Imagine if a Brown's coach would put a DE on Antonio Brown like KC did w/Houston? LMAO.........he'd be fired before he made it out of the locker room.

--Should be a couple of excellent match-ups next week. The Divisional Playoff Round is my favorite weekend because there are 4 games, but Conference Championship is right behind it. Looking forward to it!

Yeah, I enjoyed the heck out of watching the games this weekend. Really great games!

Thanks for that reminder Vers.

I appear to be in the minority here, but I think the love for Rodgers is over the top. I think he's awesome, and he's proven to be awesome over and over again, but I don't think he's as good as people keep saying. I won't say I predicted it, but I started noticing some flaws in his game a couple of years ago and I was questioning him before it was popular earlier in the year and before his recent resurgence. I think he has happy feet and does his dancing long before it's needed. He usually gets credit for this "pocket presence" because he turns that dancing into something productive, but that happy feet was also why he was in a funk the last couple of years.

And now you have a poll on ESPN asking if he's the greatest QB in the game today and 95% of the ESPN responders say overwhelmingly "yes". Yet you have this guy named Brady who's playing in something like his 6th straight conference championship.

To be clear, I think Rodgers is absolutely one of the best today and one of the best of all time. That last play was amazing. He makes a lot of amazing plays. I just think the love affair is a bit over the top. Heck, his poor play was a reason it even came down to the wire yesterday. The pick on the throw to Adams was a terrible throw and really breathed life into Dallas.

Again, I think the guy is awesome and a HOFer. I just think the love affair is a bit over the top.

IMO He's a better all around QB than Brady, Brady has had the benefit of being on a dynasty team, Rodgers always seems to have to throw to rookies and PS guys because they can't keep anyone healthy, same with their oline, last 7-8 weeks including postseason he's thrown 24tds to 1 int, he has like 5 seasons of 30+td with less than 10 int. I think why people put brady ahead of him is his post season success, and rightfully so, but Rodgers is only 33, he's got some time left to prove it in postseason.

I think Pitt is the better team with better players. They're hitting their stride. Good enough defense. Run the ball better. Better weapons.

Of course it's in NE and they have Brady/Belichick.

I just think Pitt wins though.

I remember you saying that and I remember disagreeing w/you then. I still disagree w/your take.

Yes, I see him bouncing around and moving all over in the pocket. But, what you see as "happy feet," I instead see as a guy who manipulates the pocket in order to buy more time for his receivers to come open.

Rish............you gotta notice how calm his demeanor is, right? You do notice how he is smiling all the time, right? You do notice that cocky grin he gives, right? You do notice how he is not flustered in big-time moments, right? You do notice how he will take a hit while delivering the ball, right?

And you still think it is "happy feet?"

Not bashing you at all, but I totally disagree.

--Brady has the same 5 seasons of 30+, less than 10 Ints and would have had a 6th this year if it wasn't for the suspension. The guy threw 2 ints this year. He had a season with 50 TDs.

--Brady has done it multiple times with multiple supporting casts. When his receivers are really good, his stats are off the charts i.e., Moss and Gronk. When he doesn't have those guys he raises the play of everyone else and his stats are still All Pro level. The team doesn't miss a beat without their best offensive players.

--Has Brady ever had any type of stud RB? Most Patriot game plans are built on Brady's arm.

--Rodgers has enjoyed the same consistent coaching staff that Brady has. GB's FO is consistently lauded as one of the best in the league.

Again, this isn't to say Rodgers isn't awesome or isn't deserving of praise. It's merely to point out its over the top. Vers mentioned Rodgers calmness and coolness in the clutch. Just two short years ago Brady owned one of the greatest defenses in the modern era in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, the biggest of all stages after it looked like Seattle was going to get their second Super Bowl win.

Since then Brady has continued his stellar play and you still have an ESPN poll asking if Rodgers is the greatest football player in the league.

Again, I just think it's a bit over the top.

Again Vers, I'm not saying the guy isn't great or isn't clutch, but he's enjoying some over the top praise when you've got a guy who in my opinion is better and kind of forgotten. I mean that stupid poll on ESPN was just over the top.

Rodgers has led his team to one Super Bowl. He's enjoyed consistency in the coaching ranks and FO. Their FO is lauded as one of the greatest. He's always had great receivers to throw to.

I don't disagree with you that he's great. We can agree to disagree on the happy feet thing, but even when I had that criticism I would never dispute that he's great. I just think it's a bit much. Especially when you have a guy that's been doing it better and longer, IMO.

Pitt is not even close to being a better team than NE. You're in battered Brown fan syndrome where you expect the worse, including your biggest rival having success.

Rish...........Brady is generally considered the GOAT. Not Rodgers. The latter is starting to enter the conversation.

It's not over the top. It's just the way it is. Two great QBs. Both get lots of love.

Btw---------why even read an ESPN poll? It's most young and dumb people voting. What they say means as much as the vote that put's a guy in the All Star game even though he has missed most of the season.

And Rish..........do you see my point about the "happy feet" thing or not?

Said a long time ago they should have played Romo more in that last 4 game he is more aware of the playoff intensity. Although Dak made a valiant effort at the end. It should not have been that tough of a game. Not saying Dak is not their future...he is but he is a rookie I knew it was going to be tough for him.

As for the trade for ROMO people. One thing about ROMO is he "DOES" have very small hands...which maybe indoors at Dallas but he would not fare that well here. Note he fumbles a lot. I know its a bit iffy for some but he has smaller hands than anyone we ever talked about.

jmho

Dak played amazing yesterday.

Not sure where you're getting your take from.

Dak played great. Hell, he is one of the major reasons they were even in the game. The Dallas defense got shredded by Green Bay. The Cowboys lost because of some dumb penalties and that..........not because of Dak.

Man, I thought Dak was freaking awesome!

I don't get this love for Romo.

Romo got injured behind the same great O line. At the end of the day Romo didn't lead the team to a first round bye. Dak did.

And Dak played one hell of a game yesterday. He didn't look like a rookie.

Time for Romo to pack his bags. Go to a team like Denver.

Denver says they are not interested in Romo. He'll have to go somewhere else. Maybe the Jets?

I guess it wasn't really a poll. It was ESPN insiders giving their take. It wasn't your general run of the mill fan although many of the ESPN insiders are morons.

In regards to the happy feet thing, I never viewed it as buying time. It didn't appear that way to me, but this is an untrained eye. I'm not saying you're wrong but the only way for me to have my opinion changed is I would have to go back and watch some of those games and I'm not sure that's going to happen.

Damn really? Man I thought that could've been the best fit for him.

Thomas and sanders with Romo throwing them the ball? Eww. They would've been right back to being a top contender in the AFC as long as he stayed healthy.

The jets seem good. Marshall rides for his QB, decker coming back from injury and the emergence of Onu is a good receiving corp.

What's your picks? I think the jets is good. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Texans and Bears tried to get him.

Romo would be a great bridge QB for anyone we might draft.

If we aren't bringing in Garrapolo and we draft a Trubisky or Watson, I would make a play for Romo.

You're not bringing in Romo as a bridge QB, not with that contract.

You're bringing him in to be your guy for the next 4-5 years and lead you to a title.

I think that would be OK as well.

We all know he's not going to make 4 to 5 years.

But I'd be ok with him being our QB for the next 2 to 3.

Houston should do whatever means possible and shed Brock off the payroll and go after Romo.

The bottom line is you can't trot Kessler and RG3 out there again next year. You have to do something. Romo is an option.

I'm curious.

How many more wins would Romo give us over them?

Can't answer that. We don't know if he will make it out of preseason healthy.

I'm also curious.

Why would Houston be smart to go after him, but not the Browns?

You can certainly trot them out there next season. Especially if they think the QB class in 2018 is worlds better.

Man, do you guys want to win or not?

You're OK with tanking another season because the 2018 QB draft class might be better. And even if it is, we might not be in a position to draft any of them.

Make the team better now. Let's try to turn the corner.

So keeping those two is considered tanking?

I don't agree with that. Look, I want Watson in the draft. But if the coaches and FO decides that there's too much defensive to pass up, the fine.

But you want to trade for a 100 million dollar back broken QB?

Behind our line? What happens when he gets injured. We will more certainly be in tank mode again, the very thing you're trying to avoid.

Houston is in win now mode....?

This team isn't turning jack shiz anytime soon. We sign Romo and might win 5 games next year.

We'll see. You may be correct. If NE had Gronk I'd tip it towards them. We'll discuss after next Sunday

Keep in mind, there's no gap between the QBs. Pittsburgh heavily relies on a massive gap between Ben and the opponents QB. They won't have that this Sunday. New England is a complete team.

Playoff football you get to see the best teams go at it. Great players on a big stage.

You see quarterbacks like Wilson, Ryan, Brady, Rodgers, and Ben. You know what to expect from guys like that.

Osweiler, Smith, Prescott and Wilson lost. Osweiler is not going to get it done in Texas. But you can see the Texan defense is serious. Seattle ran into a hot team in Atlanta. KC blew too many chances to win.

Have to say I was very impressed with Dak Prescott. Giant stage for a rookie and he played big. He made many terrific plays in a tough game. Loved how he came back after the pick. He is going to be very good.

Ben and Brady they just wait for the right spot and then beat you. Great players in the clutch.

Matt Ryan is having a season for sure. Smart poised guy who is leading the Falcons. Kyle knows offense.

Brady shows no signs of change. He knows the game so well. His record is a record of results. He wins.

Been watching football for quite awhile from Johnny Unitas on.

Looking at quarterbacks. Each guy has his own signature. His way to play the game. Bernie showed that.

However, I have not seen a guy like Aaron Rodgers. He plays quarterback like a shortstop. He can make throws from different body positions like no one I have seen. Across his body, off his back foot falling away, on the run off one leg. He can go in any direction and make a throw. He not only can make the throws but with mustard or touch as required.

I am not someone who will say this guy is the greatest etc. You have your top guys they are all great.

I will say that Rodgers can make plays like no one else. Maybe Brady, Montana or someone else would make a different play and still beat you.

It is kinda funny that the only other guy that comes to mind as a playmaker like Rodgers is Farve.

One last thing from watching the playoffs. Those who somehow think that Griffin or Kessler are the answer better think again. The Browns have a long way to go. It starts at quarterback but it goes much deeper as well.

Rodgers' pocket awareness, accuracy on the run, and intangibles are just incredible

Thanks for getting this back to about the Playoff games.

And btw............awesome post. I agree w/almost all of it.

I can't say who is the GOAT. Too hard to do. Johnny U was my favorite ever and I think he belongs in the conversation. He was putting up huge numbers in an era that was completely different from today's.

But again..........it's hard to compare them all. There are only so many great ones and to be included in that group is quite an honor.

And I agree w/you about Dak. What he did yesterday was amazing. I mentioned his poise earlier. It's so evident. Great leader. Smart. NFL size and arm. I am NOT knocking anyone, but man, he was had in the 4th round. That's amazing in and of itself.

Interesting to read what Brady has to say about Rodgers:

http://www.espn.com/blog/boston/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4773101/tom-brady-lauds-aaron-rodgers

I would just like to say, that after watching Aaron Rodgers' post game interview.. if he wasn't already a great QB, he'd have a solid career in NASCAR..

Dude was channeling his inner Dale Jr. last night..

That is a great article. Thanks for sharing.

I am sure that Rodger shares similar feelings about Brady's greatness.

Two of the all-time greats. No doubt about it!

I love watching excellence.

Anyone notice the four QBs in the Conference Championships:

Brady = Elite
Rodgers = Elite
Big Ben = Elite
Ryan = 2nd tier, but has the opportunity to establish himself as elite this year under the direction of a superior offensive mind in Shanny.

Headline from ProFootballTalk.com tonight:

Brady, Ben, Peyton are 14 of the last 16 AFC Super Bowl quarterbacks

Wow! Is that correct?

This is the best post you've ever made.

And quite observant.

This notion that Pitt is going to beat NE at NE with Brady at the top of his game is absurd.

Okay............what odds are you willing to give? 1,000 to 1?

I'll take that bet.

You keep making a huge point of it being absurd that the Steelers can win. Put your money where you mouth is.

It's not absurd that the Steelers can win. It's absurd that D4Life is already crying about it. He's acting like NE doesn't have a chance. They're the better team with the better QB and they're at home.

But if you'd like to make a wager on the steelers I'll book it. Same odds and line as the vegas books. PM me the amount.

If I'm BB, focus on stopping Bell. Brady can go toe to toe with Ben. New England can't let the Steelers run it too.

What? You are the one going crazy on anyone who thinks that Pittsburgh has a chance. You used the word "absurd."

NE should be favored, but to say that Pitt has no chance is what is absurd.

I will give you a crazy prediction. Michael Floyd will have multiple catches and a TD this week.

It's absurd to act like it's for sure Pitt is going to win.

And I wasn't going crazy on anyone, just D4Life.

BTW, did anyone catch Tomlin's post game rant about the Pats? What a clown. He actually sort of validated what Bradshaw said about him.

haha you were going crazy on me? I wish I would have known, just thought we were having a discussion on a varying opinion.

Am I 100% sure Pittsburgh will win? Heck no. I mean, they are going to New England to play Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. But, if there's one team that can win this game it is them IMO. They can run it, they have an elite QB, and they can put pressure on Brady.

How? That's how coaches talk in the locker room.

In the middle of the game he looked like he panicked. Question is how do you think ROMO would have fared its a question would Romo in this O score more often then Dak...who did not have a bad game at all. Just the Packers were scoring TDs mounting a big lead. As stated Dak made a valiant effort.

Funny thing is all are big on pointing to Romo's play off record well Dak now is 0-1 with maybe the best team I saw assembled for Dallas in Decades!

I don't like Rookies QBing their way to the SB...Just curious has it been done?

Please tell me where I said Dak was the reason the Cowboys lost. Yeah I watched the game. The Cowboys had to keep up with Rodgers...and dug a hole.

What I'm saying is not Dak lost the game but Romo could have WON the game.

Ryan who has played about as elite as a QB can this year (the favorite for NFL MYP).

But yep Cannot make a better case for us trying to get an ELITE Franchise QB - got to keep drafting for one until we succeed. No more Manziel, Weedens, BQ with our 2nd Draft pick.

jmho

Dallas scored over 30 points w/Dak. Romo's playoff performances leave something to be desired.

I can't believe anyone would even think that Romo would have been a better option.

Dak had an outstanding game. Not just okay. Not just good. He was exceptional.

I agree with you.

I was just playing off of the way Vers characterized it.

I agree. Dak was exceptional.

Very, very impressive.

Made all the reads. Made all the throws. His most impressive throw was the incompletion to Witten in the end zone. What a professional throw. I think there are maybe one or two guys in the league that either attempt and/or can make that throw. The other one was on the opposing team.

The guy looked poised beyond his years.

man, we don't even know if Romo would've survived the game. it's gotten to the point that if the wind blows too hard, he's getting injured

Pittsburgh will win if they can run the ball. New England will win if guys like Hogan and Lewis play great.

NE will win .. it won't be close ...

We gonna bet on the SeaHags vs Cowboys on the links this weekend ... *LOL* ...

No we don't know if he would have made it through the game or not ... u know what else we know .. THEY LOST ...

Would they have won with Romo .. don't know .. but we do know they LOST with Dak ...

And i said WITH him not BECAUSE of him ...

You know what else we know. Dak played great and acting like the Boys should have put Romo in is downright bewildering.

I don't even know why it's being debated.

Me either.

I can't copy and paste the article because there are too many pics and vids, but this is an educational article written by the best in the business of evaluating QBs.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/greg-c...-174258280.html

I get the feeling many won't take the time to educate themselves, just like they haven't read the articles and watched the tape on the Jimmy G thread, and instead make ridiculous Osweiler comparisons.

But, for those of you interested in educating yourselves, I highly recommend this article. It's not all glowing. It's not all bad. Seems pretty damn objective to me.

Maybe a slight positive tilt, but pretty fair all in all. I was hoping to see his take on the Hyde pick on the WR screen.

I agree with the take that Dak has performed well for a rookie, but that Dallas hasn't asked him to do a ton. He's exceeded expectations, and could be a great one if he continues to develop.

I wish we hadn't asked our QBs to do so much, but at the same time, we don't have the same personnel.

While as players Osweiller and Jimmy G are different, I don't think the comparison is all that ridiculous as far as situation. Both had limited tape in the NFL and were in line for big pay days. Jimmy G may be the better player but he's only started 2 games, and they were played within a well crafted scheme and his opponents didn't have a ton of film on him.

I'd feel a lot better about going after him if we were a dome team. That Towson tape worries me.

He looks like he'd be an improvement over our QBs from that limited sample of NFL highlights/tape, but I wish there was more of it with some cold weather/windy games thrown in.

I do like him as a prospect, but ~$72 Million and a first round pick is a lot to gamble.

Maybe James Harrison will do us a favor for once and give us another glimpse of Garoppolo. He's another of those "ageless wonders" like Brady, and has a pretty crazy regimen of his own. They said he spends 6 figures on his body every season, or something like that during the broadcast.

I think both games will be close. I've got Atlanta vs New England in the super bowl.

Well Dak is now 0-1 in the playoffs with a team that was SB worthy...so I guess I can say well look at DAK's playoff performance.

If I recollect Romo played pretty good in a lot of those losses.

Romo did not play with this team.

You can say all you want.
1. One I didn't say he played bad.
I said he didn't play good enough to win.

2. Use that Objectivity that you think you are famous for and think about it.

3. This is nothing I am emoting on. I stated that they should have given Romo some starts Not the one series where he got a TD. Cause you never know if DAK can keep up with the Playoff pace which is on another level than regular season games. I thought Dak played well especially the last qtr. But just not enough. At home.
jmho I am allowed you can have an opposite opinion I know its tough to express it without insulting me...but try and be objective...lol

I don't think losing the game means you "didnt play well enough to win"

Rodgers just played better.

If u lost ... by definition ... u didn't play well enough to win ...

Dak played very well ... he even played well enough to win most games ... just not this one ... he is certainly not the reason the Cowgirls lost ....

With that said ... they LOST .... thats all that matters ... would they have won with Romo .. who knows ... but we do know what the result was with Dak at QB ...

If someone disagrees w/your takes, they are insulting you. LOL. Your act is beyond old.

That's precious coming from you.

Yawn.

The point is - Not that DAK played bad...he did play good.

My point is could have ROMO with this offense taken them further. Match Rodgers where Dak could not? Your words.

That is all I'm suggesting and its a thought I had all the way back when they had 4 games left and Romo was declared healthy to play. They used him for one series and that was it. About as good a series as one could have had. But I would have like to have seen 2 or more starts so that if he was on FIRE let him take the team into the play offs...Dak is going to have a great career. But again I don't every remember a rookie taking his team to SB champions.

jmho

Romo has never taken them to the SB, either.

Dak has just as good of a chance of pulling that off as Romo did.

I think he had a better chance. Dude was a stud in that GB game. I still can't believe how poised he is. Hell, he displayed more poise than guys who have been in the league for an eternity. And he's a freaking rookie!

It's simply incredible.

I have to say that we certainly disagree. Romo had been on the bench for quite a while. I believe rust would have been a factor and his play would certainly have been no better and probably worse than Daks.

Just wondering..........

How many times has Romo put up the numbers and points in playoff games that Dak just did?

How many times has Romo choked in the playoffs?

I can't believe this is even a debate.

Atlanta could very likely make it back to the NFC Championship if everyone if healthy. They lose nobody in free agency, they're young, and will have 40-50 million in cap space. They need to just keep drafting defense.

They're doing this without their best corner too.

They definitely have the pieces, and will probably draft a lot of defense.

However, maybe Shanny's exit will affect them? IMO he's a great coordinator.

Since Week 12, the 4 remaining playoff teams are 29-1

Wow!

Again you just cannot comprehend what I am saying. Romo has never had this team in the Playoffs. This team looked to be a favorite to get to the SB and go strong there. Instead it lost its first playoff game.

"Dak has just as good of a chance of pulling that off as Romo did"

lol really that is your argument...he LOST his first playoff game so he didn't pull it off did he. Romo could not have had a worse result.

that was actually funny there.

jmho

I understand what you're saying.

What you seem to have a problem with is the fact that I simply don't agree with you.

Romo might not have had this particular team, but he has had really good teams prior to this, and hasn't gotten it done.

Can you comprehend that?

Can anyone provide information about how Romo has performed in the playoffs?

Why are we having this debate?

Romo is 1-3 in the playoffs, 59 % completion and 832 yards.
Also bobbled the snap in Seattle.
Those are just stats. The eyeball rest and results test say he has not been good in the playoffs. Not as good as Dak was, albeit his was in a losing effort.
Sure Romo COULD HAVE led them to a victory. So could have I.

Usually I don't speak for others ... but i'm gonna go ahead and do it this one time ...

I know tabber and he comprehends that just fine ...

They lost with Dak playing ... We don't know what the results would have been with Romo playing ...

You seem to be losing sight of the fact they LOST with Dak and will be playing golf this Sunday .. If they played Romo they MAY have won ...

Can u comprehend that? ... go smoke another joint .. maybe that'll help ... *LOL* ..

So Diam, are we ruling the Seahawks and Cowboys argument as a draw? I gotta admit, that was the most anti climatic thing that could have happened.

Hell no .. I win ... boys didn't lose til Sunday ... *LOL* ...

Gabriel with a easy drop

The flipper scared me.

watching Sanu tear the Packers up
the Browns didn't even entertain him in the off season
then seeing Shanahan carve up the Packers and he used to be employed by the Browns
brillent FOs in Berea

Aerial attack football. More reason why we need to bolster our defensive backs and have a wicked pass rush to deal with these types of offenses.

Packers defense is just getting lit up

So is their offense.

Shanny is a football god. Lets offer him a hc position and freedom to run it however he wants.

This game is over. Congrats to Mack, Gab and Shanny to going from clown ball to Superbowl!

so that we can argue back and forth that he needs to hire an OC to call plays for him? lol

We wont have to argue because we will be WINNING!!

Just checkin' in.... Man-oh-man, the Falcons are kickin' some butt!

0

The way the game is played these days, if you don't have an elite pass rush, you will probably get beat.

There is not many running plays in this game.... or perhaps it just doesn't seem like it?

Hopefully the Packers can put some points on the board or else this is gonna get really really bad.

Not taking anything away from Shanny...I agree he is smart and creative. However, it will remain to be seen what he can do as a HC. Many thought Chip Kelly was an offensive football guru and then he came into the NFL and was a dud.

That said, I do think Shanny will succeed as he has a foundation and support from his father who was successful and he is incredibly creative. Must admit, watching Atlanta reminds me a little bit of the Oregon Ducks when they were at their best. Their opponents struggle to slow them down.

OMG but flag on the play.

Just remember. We decided that Julio Jones wasn't worth our pick, so we traded back.

I'm sure glad we got that run stuffing beast in Taylor over ...what's his name... Julio Jones? Thanks Holmy!!! You sure did us right!

Well, you know Brandon Weeden, Phil Taylor and some other guy was worth it.

Julio was too good of a player to play for the Browns. I'm sure he probably told them he'd hold out a year and re-enter the draft the next year.

Man, the entire packers offense, including Aaron Rodgers looks terrible.

Turnovers, dropped passes, Rodgers inaccurate as all hell. Yikes.

passed on Julio, and said Greg Little would do. lol.

Greg Little was was very similar to Brady Quinn.. Looks the part, but can't play the part.

I wonder if the Cowboys would have won last week if this game would have been a closer match-up?

Jones is playin' like a football god.

I would not have guessed Jimmy Carter is still alive.

When Gordon comes back he will be our Julio!

I don't think he's able to play anymore in the NFL... Is he?

No, but there are still some probably holding out hope. lol

They are roasting us right now. It's hard to be a browns fan.

Ouch! lol I wonder if they'd bring the Browns up once the Falcons had this game sowed up.

The Falcons offense is an unstoppable machine.

This game is most dissapointing. I didn't know the Falcons were this good. I don't get to see them play much.

Gabriel would have never been picked up by Falcons if Shanahan was not there. That Simple.

Just the same as Hawkins would have probably got the axe if Hue wasn't our HC.

Sometimes it's about relationships and familiarity that links you to certain teams.

He should trademark his name and start his own strain of weed, named after him, while he still has a name.... I bet it would sell!

Hope we trade Joe Thomas to the Falcons in the off season. He could play for a winner and our idiot FO could get a few more 6th and 7th round picks to add to the pile.

maybe we're signing collins to sign/trade him to Atlanta

It doesn't look like Atlanta needs him.

I know Hue is at home watching this game and is crazy motivated. I'd be happy if we could just score 20 consistently. lol

Happy for the city of Atlanta. Falcons dont get much love nationally, so good for them.

That was a crummy game. Here's hoping this next game is way better. Two teams I love to hate.

...Out of jealously, if I'm being honest.

Gilber sighting.

That'll not work. The team has tried that twice since 99.

We need to bolster the offensive side and BECOME one of these types of offenses.

Ben has NE defense figured out

STUFFED!!!!! What a goal line stand Pats!

Hate both teams, but I'm in a playoff pool and took NE when I won 1st overall pick.
Go NE!

Go Pats!!!!!!!

This game is over... Pats vs Falcons..

Bill's team's play all out with incredible hustle! Now that guy is a genius.

A couple things that stand out to me.

First the success of the Patriots is truly remarkable. The Pat's play team football. Outside of Brady not a bunch of super stars just players who get it done. The receivers and runners are just players that fit. They execute.

Quarterback play. The Browns QB's are so far away it is not worth any comparison.

The Falcon's. Until recently I lived in Atlanta for over thirty years. This team could very well win it all. Lots of weapons. Very well coached. Anyone that may have thought Shanahan could not coach. Rewatch the game and pay attention to the offensive game plan and play calling.

Should be a very good Super Bowl.
