Was looking for a thread but the game day thread is just that during the game.
Man...that was maybe one of the best QB display I ever saw from Brady. Just the accuracy of his throws, mastering the no huddle.
Just amazing. Happy for Deion Lewis.
Mariota - I really don't see what some of these analysts see in him. He's OK but not much more...excellent runner. So basically a lot like Bortles.
Eagles...Foles came through can't believe the Falcons didn't win.
But these Semi Finals have a high home field win record as opposed to the Wild Card.
Hoping the Jags are the ones that win on the road.
Jones is a great WR but once again the WR has a lot less input in winning Championships then people think...and many people think it including the analysts.
Back to the Pats...just in awe with the coaching of the team as they were so well prepared.
The game plan was excellent as well as the execution! Offense, Defense and Special Teams!
Eagles running game was very good was surprised how much 7 in the box Falcons played. Adai...was a great pick up.
Don't see the Eagles going further it would be an amazing feat if they went to the SB.
Will come back after todays games.
Please add any insight you wish from what you saw in these games.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!
Go Browns!
CHRIST HAS RISEN!

I felt bad for Titans. Just completely overmatched and etc.
I was shocked that the Eagles were able to pull it off. I thought Atlanta had it, but again, I was ended up being wrong lol.
Can't wait to watch the Jag's defense hurt the Steelers!

I saw the Refs give the Eagles a win.
Poor Julio Jones. Google “Julio Jones Pass Interference”. He has been victim of the refs so many times.
I saw the Refs give the Steelers 14 points but Joe Haden give up enough big plays to offset and Jags Winnnn!
It’s so hard to watch NFL if you care about fairness but it was nice to see Steelers lose for once lol THANK YOU JOE HADEN!

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

I saw one of the most insane, bazar endings to a game in NFL history. Marcus Williams tackling air as the Vikings receiver runs for a walk off touchdown on final play of game.

Two crazy games today.
The ending in minny, and what should have been a dogfight on D instead is a shootout in Pitt.
Blake Bortkes, Case Keemum, Nick Foles and Tom Brady are the QBs still playing.

I saw the Refs give the Steelers 14 points I am sure the refs are relieved it is not NE vs Pitt. In that game it would be too confusing for them to figure out which way to go with the bogus calls.

I was at MSP airport when Minnesota scored that last TD, the place erupted. It was pretty cool to see.

I saw the Jags finally come into their own. And beat the Steelers at home.  I saw Brees make a historic comeback.

Watching the Steelers lose was incredible. It was nerve wracking like a Browns game. There was ONE second left and I thought they would bend the laws of football and mathematics and pull out a win.

The was freaking amazing. I was just dumbfounded with my mouth agape saying "NO I JUST DIDN'T SEE THAT DID I"!!!
Had to be the worst tackle well Attempted tackle of my life.
The WR didn't even make a move the guy just dove away from the WR. My first thought when I saw the first slow mo replay was,
this guy didn't just get paid a million dollars to fix the game did he??? It was that bad.
Was thinking they should have had Cover Three Man (for those who need to know that is 3 Back deep and the rest man up on all WRs. But I think they did??? The cover 3 that all are use to is Cover 3 zone. Probably should have had Cover 4 man and rush only 2 in that situation!!!
Just an amazing finish to a rather good game and good comeback from the Saints.
I was wondering about MILLIE the centenarian to be who was at the game...was afraid of her having a heart attack or something...lol  well only funny if she is OK.
Btw I think we are seeing that Defenses do win Championships as we saw the #1 and #2 Defensive teams win against two top offenses.
Is Julio Jones getting bigger. For some reason he just doesn't seem to make that big play to have the team win. He is a great WR with an excellent QB. Weird.
So as many said, I am happy with the demise of the Steelers season in a one and done fashion. Wow to get beat Twice in a season by the same team at HOME...that just doesn't happen often.
The only Home team to lose this weekend. Wild card a lot of away teams win...but in these Semi Finals its usually the home teams that win. hehehe...Steelers losing makes it feel better. All said and done. Season is over. We got amazing picks.
But honestly hope we are in their shoes next season winning the North and them in ours picking first 
Thanks for the sharing guys.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!
Go Browns!

Julio Jones was interfered with and no PI called.
Even the best WRs don’t make the big play when they get tackled during their route.

That missed tackle is the kind of thing we usually see from a certain team in Cleveland ......
Maybe the jinxes, curses, and whatever else have been lifted from us?

Two great NFL mysteries we saw this weekend that the NFL can be ashamed of:
A) What is a catch today?; and,
B) What is PI, pass interference?
I get tired if watching refs reviewing endlessly, reversing calls, and such. Bias is often obvious for what they want to call or are looking for this game.
Judgment is suspect to say the least. And the booth yammering by the talking heads really is aggravating.

In the game I saw Julio Jones almost won the game. He was there on the critical moments ... PI and slipping in the last play.. How can you watch Julio or Antonio Brown and say they have litle influence...

Hmmm 42...nice stat...lol
But they did play great. Took Bell pretty much out of the game.
Btw - I would take A Brown over Julio any day. I hate him but he is the best WR that I can remember seeing.
Julio is Calvin Johnsonesque...just doesn't make the big play like A Brown does.
I can't remember us missing a tackle like that - that was terrible even for us!
I know he was a rookie but I don't think he knew the situation and what his priority was.
And what I am totally astonished now that I have seen enough replays...THEY WERE IN COVER 2 MAN!!!
Talk about dumbass coaching moves...I can't believe that They should have been 4 across deep on that play...3 the least...but just 2 on that play distance and down and time on the clock!
It the kind of play you bring in a Julio or a Gordon for!!
So Saints coaches should take some heat on that!
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!
Go Browns!

Julio was playing great and having an impact, specially on the moments of need.
Regarding the "I can't remember us missing a tackle like that - that was terrible even for us!"
I can recall several Peppers tackles like that,some even worst, if that is even possible, sure they were not playoff games, but we had several times this season where Peppers lost us some games with nonsense tackles..
