Falcons winning last night pretty much knocked out the Hawks....
It's going to be a very interesting offseason for them I see a lot of change's coming to get some cap space - tough decisions need to be made the legion of boom could now become the legion of doom.. What an epic Defence that was would love to see one more "no filter injury free tour left in them" haha

Maybe the ticket situation will get back to being a little more realistic.

Rogers is out, again, for the season - and the Packers are eliminated.

Technically, no, but you're right. The three 8-6 teams are probably not going to make it. The NFC looks clear as to who is in. But... one never knows. If the Saints beat the Falcons, which they should (I certainly hope so) then there's still a chance any of the 8-6 teams make it in. At least it appears to be so.

Yea but the Falcons have the head to head vs seattle

I saw that and had the same thought about chump change. It is really kind of sad that a fine which is supposedly to "promote player safety" is shown to be nothing more than a chance to insert a (weak) defense to a future lawsuit against the league ("We fined the team when they didn't follow the protocol"). If the league really wanted to make sure that the teams follow the rules they'd fine them 100x that amount just to get their attention. Players who get suspended lose their game pay for the games they're suspended for. Imagine if a team was fined the equivalent of a game's revenue (ticket, food & beverage, etc.), or their share of the tv package for the game they were being punished for. I'll bet they wouldn't let the error happen a second time, no matter how much they or the player wanted him back on the field. THAT would promote player safety.

The ball must “survive the ground”-simply put,it has to be a clean catch.you can’t have it hit the ground and roll around and then pull it back toward you.if James had run it across as soon as it broke the plain it was a score.the same rule is applied every Sunday.
Worry not,the genius blinked and we have their quarterback of the future,they’ll probably win 2 more Super Bowls before the 9rz get one but still, they screwed up.

Can you imagine Brady being replaced this season though? Reports are Belicek did not want to trade Jimmy but had to purely because he would not get anything for him would might have been worse. Strange circumstances..........good for the 9rz

Belichick is ice-cold when it comes to players, even Brady. I believe he'd get rid of him in a heartbeat once he was no longer valuable to him and not blink twice.

I read that Kraft wanted to keep Brady around and that's why they traded Garropolo. Belichick on the other hand has told friends he believed he could win an SB with Jimmy.

I can believe that. I think Belichick bristles privately at all the accolades Brady gets and wants a chance to prove he can win without him, which I think he certainly could.

It's not just Belichick, it's Kraft and the whole organization... The Patriots Way so to speak. I saw a very insightful documentary on Curtis Martin (I believe) which illustrated very well how those guys up there in New England are able to not let their personal relationships cloud their business decisions or vice versa. They're not my favorites but I have a healthy respect for the organization.

No, I actually think Kraft is a softie when it comes to Brady, and truly loves the man. From what I've read, Kraft wanted Belichick to get rid of Garropolo over planning for Brady's exit from the team, and I think that's because Kraft wants Brady to gracefully retire as a Patriot (which would be HIGHLY lucrative in terms of merchandising, nostalgia, etc.).

Belichick is ONLY interested in football and couldn't give less of a damn about the optics of parting ways with a QB who has won 5 SBs.

Personally I think it might get ugly. I'd hate to see it, but I could see a Favre/Montana situation develop.

Correct. But Kraft was the owner and the relationships between Kraft and Martin both personal and professional were addressed and contrasted well I thought.

Every time I would see a Papa John commercial it would remind me about how nasty people can be. Well playoffs are almost here. I hear a lot of talk about the Rams winning the super bowl.
