best nfl weekend of the year going finally. i suspect there will be at least 1 blowout & 1 upset. kind of ok not having a rooting interest this year. able just to relax & enjoy the games, which is just what the doctor ordered. literally. also, RIP Keith Jackson. the voices of i've heard my whole life announcing sports are being silenced. first Dick Enberg, now Mr. Jackson. at least they lived long lives. they are missed.

Definitely some great games this weekend. Looking forward to tonight for sure.

After watching the first half of the ATL/PHI game, whoever "wins" it will get their asses handed to 'em by either MIN or NO.

the current game is ok. not pretty but at least not a blowout. maybe NE should start the game with the bench to make it a little bit of a contest. hoping (probably in vain) for an upset. think the jaguars may make a game of it in pittsburgh tomorrow. the steelers seem like they have too much soap opera stuff going on. the late game tomorrow is a toss up, with a slight edge to the vikings because they are playing at home.

This game looks like a joke so far.

Looks like Tennessee may give a bit more of a game than New England was expecting.

I was referring to Eagles/Falcons, lol.

I'd never say that about a Pats game no matter what.

HOWEVER...I suppose I could have said that in retrospect

Pats/Titans game was a JOKE.

Ya, unfortunately for Titans the Patriots woke up for their nap. Would luv to see Jaguars take out the Steelers today.

A little trivia.

8 Back up Quarterbacks have Replaced the starter sometime during the season and gone on to win the SuperBowl? No Bing or Google.

Well I know Brady is one...looked up the others. Interesting list of people. Some all-time greats.

Jags defense sure is mighty but Bortles scares me. Fournette going down is not a good thing. This could end up being a slobberknocker. Is too bad that the archetect of the defense, Gus Bradley, ended up getting let go before it all came together on the D side so well. That's 2 he's put together (Hawks & Jags) that turned out to be pretty stellar. Good omen for the Chargers next year.

Tom Brady.

Schizo Pittsburgh showed up today! Finding ways to lose! The Landmass Between Georgia And Florida is kicking their ass!

Cannot believe this game. Pittsburgh is all over the place.

Jags might win this one but Fournette being out is a critical loss if he can't play next week.

Mike Tomlin is a joke

Unbelievable. Next week is going to be fun as hell.

Vikings looking real good. You betcha!

Absolutely agree, he had me fooled a few years back but I came around his clock management and decision making is atrocious.

I'm a Patriots fan and I don't like the way they match up against The Jaguars it's scary. That being said , I enjoy the Shit out of watching Pittsburgh lose more than the Patriots winning. So it will be a nervy AFC championship game next week.

The dark lord in the hoodie must appreciate the Jags. They play dirty.

once the majority of "the chins" players retired it has exposed that tomlin makes bad decisions in games since the defense isn't carrying the team

Jags make me super nervous.

It's not supposed to be easy. Bortles numbers weren't great but he was poised. If the Pats minimize turnovers they should be okay. Never gets old!!...

Saints/Vikings is a great goddamn game!

That was beautiful!

Best second half of a playoff game perhaps ever. Wow!
Go Vikings! Would be cool to see them end up playing the SB at home!

NO blow it on the road again. brees is now 1-5 in road playoff games

Wow, Saints snatch defeat from the sure jaws of victory!! That final play will haunt the Saints fans for decades to come. I truly hope that the rookie that missed the tackle on that play can put it in the past and play better next year.
