    kind of surprised everyone is picking Tennessee.  I mean I hate the Pats but no way I would bet against them in a home playoff game against Ryan Tannehill.

    Bills
    Pats
    Saints
    Eagles

    i am going with KC over Nola for the Super Bowl as of today.
    Its tough, I admit.

    The Titans are rolling though and their team structure appears to be a perfect storm to beat New England on the road.  Good defensive line and a good secondary.  Running back who is a machine right now.  Also some familiarity with Vrabel and Dion Lewis.  A big receiver.   I think they have been held under 30 points like 1 or 2 times since before Halloween.  

    The Patriots are hurting in the wrong places and worse-yet are coming in on a short week.  You cant help but think they are a little shell-shocked off that Miami game.  There is no more Gronkowski to bail them out of trouble.  I also think the crowd will turn on them if they come out flat early in the game. 

    Every time we start to shovel dirt on the Patriots, there is pushback and those people are always proven correct... they will... until they aren't.  I believe this is the time.  
    It was mentioned upthread, but this is similar to the Bills/Jaguars game in 1996.  It was an aging Bills team at the end of the dynasty, but still cruised to an AFC East title.  The team had never lost a playoff game at Rich Stadium.  No way the Jacksonville Jaguars can win (even though all indications pointed to that happening).  Bang.  Over.  Jim Kelly was carted off the field for his last game, and the Bills havent won a playoff game since.



    If the Patriots do win, it is going to be a 16-14 type of street fight game that finds them even more beat up than they are now, limping into KC.


    I still have a tough time thinking none of those Bills teams (1990-1993) won a championship.  That group of players was transcendent on both sides of the football.  They're as close to a dynasty as you can get, without winning a championship.

    Let's end the curse for one of these storied franchises; Viking vs. Bills Superb Owl 2020!
    Ha, imagine either Josh Allen or Kirk Cousins popping the cherry for one of those teams. Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton's HOF busts would explode.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    There is a small chance the Titans could win.  But there is a much better chance that they get curb-stomped by Brady.

    Would be good to see Niners, Eagles, Bills, Chiefs, Titans, and Texans win for various reasons for me.  Niners tying for most rings would be awesome, as it is totally unexpected.

    His flip cup skills must have given him the edge he needed to clinch the award.

    I didn’t even realize the Niners were doing so well until the Ravens match up. (And gawwwwddddd do I hate the fucking Ravens despite being from Maryland). I might have to break the Patrick Willis jersey out for old times sake!

    Bob Glauber is predicting SF vs KC in the Super Bowl.  I would love to see it happen.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    If not for Kool Aid Man, I would put KC as a big favorite.  His coaching in money games (clock management alone) is worth -6 points.  :lol:

    If the Texans don't start changing plays on D to confuse the offense I think it is going to a long second half in Houston

    Damn.  Bills coach is a goddamn travesty.  Prep your line and young QB.  And, for Satan's sake go for a 59 yard kick vs. a 4th and 23 or whatever that was, given the pass rush they were facing.
    What a colossal choke job.
    Young team, I guess

    it is entertaining.  this game is a prime example of why Belichick will always have an advantage over teams with no playoff experience. anyone who put money on the Titans should have a bad feeling in their belly right now.

    Bummer.  Good comeback by Texans and I am glad that the bungling of the late drive didn't cost the Bills/that they were able to bring it to OT.
