So who do you guys like today?

If I told you I was an authority on the NFL I'd be a liar. But the NFL playoffs help me to wind down from the fact that the college fb season really is over. After the SB comes the last signing day and then it really is over for the next 6 month's.

Sigh
Now I really do have to pay attention to the wife and kids. Ol what's her name says I never pay attention to her during fb season. Imagine that. How many kids did I end up having was it 4? 2? 7? I know the youngest is the only one that hasn't married yet another is divorced. How many grand kids are there now?

Now let's get to what's important the conference title games winner goes to SB 53 (screw roman numerals). I know most of us don't follow our even care about the NFL but I watch the playoffs and I know I'm not the only one on here does whether you want to admit it or not.

First game up
LA NO what's fascinating for me is that both games have the same storyline the young guns against the established order. Two really exciting offenses a SB winning coach vs a superstar coach in the making. I really like Drew Brees how can you not? But it's time to make way for the young bucks.
LA 35
NO 31

NE/KC here's something remarkable to know about Tom Brady. He's played in 8 SB's everyone knows that. But this will be his 13th AFC title game. Wow. And with the exception of one SB where they beat the eagles easily every other SB his Pats have played have been exciting down to the last minute games. The SB used to be boring blowouts and the NFC always dominated. But the AFC has caught up and NE is the reason why. The last three years TB has won a SB at age 40, played in a SB at age 41 and is 1 win away from another SB at age 42. NFL fans should stand and applaud when he finally hangs it up. Hell we all should. Oh and he's married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. Figures. But dyk she's as rich as him? True story.

Never say never when it comes to TB but Patrick Mahomes has been the best qb in the NFL this year
KC 38
NE 35
in overtime

thoughts?
didn't mean to digress but I hope I gave you a few laughs.

Well NE/KC did go into ot so I got that part right. And I was pretty close on the final score. But the wrong team won oh well.

Don't touch Brady or I'll get 15 yards for roughing the passer

What a horsesh*t call that was. That and the "offsides penalty" that negated what would have been the game ending INT by KC. Effing refs handed both games to LA and NE.

Guys if it had been NO/KC it still world have had huge ratings because everybody watches the SB and because of that the ad revenues wouldn't have been any less. I think by now the top 10 most watched tv.shows have all been SB's. And the NFL not baseball is now Americas pastime. And if the league office called to apologize to Sean Payton after the game that kind of neutralizes the fix was in argument. It was what it was but remember NO is a veteran team they should have gotten together after their fg and said we will not lose this game. But two things bother me. The NFL always protects their zebras. The zebra who didn't make the call will still be working games next year. And I don't like their rules for ot games in the playoffs. NO and KC should have been given a chance after they scored. You get that far you deserve a chance. College fb's ot rules are much better imo. Just another reason as to why I don't care that much for the NFL.

You're right because people watch the superbowl--- it's a big money maker no matter what. But you don't think that having football back in LA and in the superbowl THIS soon after returning to LA, isn't a big deal for the NFL? I remember the reason the rams and the raider left LA was because they weren't winning enough to keep LA fans interested--- yet here they are, back again.

Why I quit watching Pro ball! I was a Rabid cowboys fan when Landry and Johnson was there, I acepted Parcells ok, then it all went shit in a basket, the last 15 yrs, it seems that they got their QB's outa a Gay bar in Oaklawn so I quit and holding on to Romo, Why? The new one Dak not the one either, Johnson has the Cowboys so FUed that we will never go to Super Bowl, and don't get me started on Garrett, it died with JJ

I work with a Steelers fan who admitted all week he was rooting for the Chiefs because he doesn't want the Patriots to have as many Super Bowl wins as Pittsburgh. He text me to rub it in every time the Chiefs scored. And even he is saying this morning that the guy was offsides.

Certainly the roughing penalty was a terrible call and the Patriots benefited, but if the refs wanted to hand the game to New England, then don't throw a flag for defensive holding on the play Kelce fumbled and let the Pats run out the clock.

I can agree with most of this. Life long Dallas fan but haven’t watched in years, it pretty much faded for me during the Parcells years. A lot of folks think Parcelis was a good coach and I could agree he was with the Giants and possibly Jets. With the Cowboys he was just an overpaid asshole imo.
