Literally anyone. Biggest issue in NFL coaching is the old boys network. Its how Darth Bills assistants keep getting work, despite floundering outside his influence. It pains me to say it, but more teams need to do what the Eagles did and roll the dice on younger guys, like Peterson. This...

Reid is notoriously good in the regular season and always shits the bed in the post season. He also is a lot like McCarthy in that he has been the beneficiary of good rosters over the years (McFatty at the QB spot, Reid has had entire quality rosters). In that shithouse division, there is zero...

Well, as the first person to talk about the Zebras working for NE, that game was actually not at all bad.... by Foxboro standards. Honestly, I thought he was down by contact when he went down and surprised that the fumble was not reversed, so I had zero issue with that play. The real problem...

I'm old school in a Packer fan so my hate goes back to 4th and 28th and the whole throwing ice balls at Santa Claus thing. Philly fans were douchebags before Patriots fans even existed. Nothing personal, but old hate wins over new hate every day of the week in sports fandom.

Only time Ive been more of a pats fan was 2015.

He might have a better Defense, but I think the Deadskins recievers are superior to the Vikings.

I agree completely about the Eagles being as bad as the Vikes in that regard, though their division was more competitive. That's why I expected the game to be closer. I just did not think the Vikes would have a total meltdown on both sides of the ball. I figured their offense would struggle...

Yeah, only the likes of Eli Manning can outplay the Evil Empire. That's the side effect of always having home field in the playoffs. By the time a team capable of maybe beating them gets to them, they have been pounded by either the Steelers or Ravens (or both). And the NFC is a revolving...

I honestly expected this game to be close. The Vikes did not have a lot of quality wins and their offense has been sporadic down the stretch. With the benefit of hindsight, I think they had an easy walk into the first round bye that made them seem a lot better than they actually are. If...

Sweet, they are talking Bradford playing before this is over. We might get the Jeff Fisher Triforce of QBs. It will be the only playoff game to end in a tie!

Yeah as someone who sat throught things like that, the blowouts do less lasting damage to a team than blowing it on the doorstep. The Falcons were a ghost of themselves this year. The Packers are still reeling from shitting the bed in Seattle in 2015. The Roidhawks have not been the same...

That stretching sound you just heard was the Eagles laying the pipe up the poop chute of the Vikes D.

First game against the Saints was when the Saints were a complete shitshow and the playoff win took a Buttfumble level defensive brainfart to win, but that was a solid game. Atlanta is a team I hesitate to use as a benchmark for anything, since they come out flat for a lot of games and Ryan is...

Yeah this is well on the way to being as bad as when the Giants clobbered them in the NFC Championship a few years back. Kind of shocked by it, but then again the thought occurs that the entire NFC North was an epic shitshow after the dude speared Rogers collar bone and the Vikes got to pad...

Yeah as insufferable as Pats fans are, they never threw iceballs at Santa Clause or any of the numerous other felonious antics that the Eagles have done over the years. The best part about this SB for NE is that they won't be the most unlikable team in it, for a change.

Does anyone outside of their respective homers think either of these Fischer tainted retreads have any chance against the Pats in the SB? This game already getting sloppy.

Vikes could only manage 16 points against a Huntley led Packer Defense at home and needed the worst defensive play of the decade to squeak past the Saints at home. Their homefield advantage is basically non existent and they are going to get bodied against the Evil Empire in two weeks, unless...

Packers had the Bears and Vikes in the Lombardi era and the Vikes and Bears in the Favre era. They had a Favre led Vikings during the Rodgers run, but until this year it has been almost as easy as the AFCEast. Steelers had the Jim Brown era Browns back in the day and the multiple SB winning...

Depends largely on how long they think Darth Bill will keep coaching. If he is looking for the door, go for the records you can get. Brady is largely irrelevant. Pretty sure they could lure a refurb QB wanting a ring and win as long as the cold efficiency of Bellicheck is calling the shots...

This. Whoever suggested that the Jags D might be a paper tiger was probably right. They buckled in crunch time. While the refs hurt them a little, it was not more than any actual elite D could overcome. When it came down to it, a top tier D should be able to hold a Gronk-less Pats in those...

Fixed that for you. But the Brady era has as much to do with his talent as it does with their horrifically inept division that gift wraps them a half dozen wins and home field every year. Still its one thing to have the path and another to get it done. Whatever you think of Darth Bellicheat...

Jags hosed themselves. If the Vikes win later, I will actually swallow my vomit and root for the Pats in the SB.

That was the best play Gillmore made all game.

Blake Bortles perfect playoff record is on the line!

3rd and 22 for Bortles? Yeah this is over.

Gratz Evil Empire on another SB..... No way either of the two snakebit NFC teams manage to break their drought. At this point, I am hoping its the Vikings so they can take sole possession of the all-time SB loss record.

Hurt Jags defender just cements it. Brady is going right after the backup, guaranteed.

Yeah Jags D is gassed. You don't cough up 15 on a screen unless you are out of steam.

Yeah, this is Pats game, unless Bellicheck gets cute and another turnover happens.

Pats are going to be playing the line and deep from here on out. The middle of the field is where they can get things done, but Bortles does not seem to be able to zero in on that area.

Most certainly true, but why the hell they got away from the screens and slants that were eating them alive earlier (instead of using the Forrest Greg Run Run Pass Punt offence) is beyond me.

Dusting this guy off, just in case..... But Romo is right. The only way for the Jags to go to the SB is to be aggressive and take it to NE. No one has ever gotten past NE by playing not to lose.

If the Jags are going to win here, they need a long clock chewing TD drive like they had in the first half. I have my doubts they can do that again, though.

Between the refs and Brady, if I were the Jags, I would assume I need at least one more score to seal this thing. Especially with how quickly they are chewing up the field right now.

We had a bigger lead with less time left. Even before the ATL meltdown last year, I would NEVER let up against NE. Edit- Case in point, 3rd and 18....

@Merrith Yeah, I am sure McCarthy thought the same thing when we (Packers) had Seattle by the balls a few years ago. Never take your foot off their throat, especially in the playoffs. Especially against a team like New England.

Jags are tightening their assholes too much. This reeks of last year's SB all over again.

Wow, I stand corrected.

Gronk is amazing, but the dude has a glass jaw. PS- That fumble was amazing, but I am pretty sure in Foxburough theres no way that stands as called.

Attempting that FG is ballsy. No way the Jags should be risking flipping the field at this point.
