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 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.

You are dreaming
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....

Win or lose this is the best championship game of the century.

This will keep Saban around a few more years. Has to make up for the Lane mistake. He knew what the guy was doing year one on campus.

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