All road teams. Haven't watched a game this season but feel pretty strongly at least 3 of them move on.

If they don't get rid of Ginger Caligula then the league will become irrelevant.

The season is too long, the games are too long, there are too many commercials, there are too many ticky-tack penalties, the quarterback is not a King (rules), Pink shouldn't be worn (virtue signalling), etc.

And I could be wrong but it seems like injuries are increasing in spite of all the ridiculous rules put in place to "protect" the players.

Outside of the Giants - Packers game the other 3 were incredibly boring mostly due to injuries because they're playing too many regular season games and the time spent on field has increased due to the greed of the elite.

I used to be a fan. It was tough to watch and I was changing the channel on all of the games.

While i agree that this weekend's slate of games left a lot to be desired, I think we are in for some DAMN good football in the coming weeks. All of the mediocre teams were sniffed out, all except maybe the Texans, but hey, someone had to win that game!

I'll tell ya what though, after the games yesterday, the Cowboys are $hitting themselves and the AFC was put on high alert with the Steelers continuing their run.

Chiefs / Packers in the Bowl.

I know you swing from Brady's nut hairs like you're Tarzan and his pubes are the vines from which you swing, but I hope you get it through your head early. The Pats aren't winning it this year, so loosen up the cornrows and begin to accept this as truth, just as we accept your off the wall stories of the past as being a lot cooler than you are most of the time.

We will find out soon enough. Hope someone faded me tonight, as Clemson seems to have learned their lesson about Howard last year.
Fwiw Clemson wins this game....

I cant believe I'm defending him, but isn't this a tad harsh? I think we win it. We are the chalks, and have the easiest path. We are a 17 point favorite over a team we beat 27-0 w/out Brady. Every other game can literally go either way...... I like what KC is doing and all, but they are going to beat us in NE? Highly unlikely. We lose to a hot GB team or a nasty Seattle D. The 2nd is unlikely w/ the huge injuries they have suffered. Thomas being out is like losing Brady. Its a massive loss for Seattle.

And Brady, down 28-3 with a little over 17 minutes to play in super bowl LI, leads the New England patriots to the biggest comeback in super bowl history to win his record breaking 5th victory. His never say die attitude and ability to lead his team through the toughest circumstances is amazing. Great job Champ

I just don't see it. If Seattle, New England, Steelers and Cowboys make the final 4 then it just shows that forced parity failed and failed miserably.

It makes for wasted seasons and makes me question just how good the competition can be.

Let's be real the NFL is flooded with mediocre quarterbacks who make way too much money. Like that idiot in Detroit who will never be a real man or have the face of a person with an IQ above 50.

People are getting sick of the league. No way should a neanderthal like the quarterback in Detroit be able to make over $100,000,000 in a sports career for sucking ass as hard as he does.

I'd like that for Julio but have zero faith in that headcase quarterback.

It really depends on KC's offense. Their defense will be ready but they're going to need a little help.
