I hold my passion in tempered expectations but...

Go EAGLES!

I'd love to see an upset victory but this was still a successful season finding out how potent the running attack is. Hopefully the three first round picks are used to temper the defense, pass protection or passing attack.

I'm still holding out hopes for a Brady vs. Bill Superbowl.

So Brady can continue to own the bills all over again.

Go Pats!

[Devilyn Sydhe]

Packers vs Chiefs in the State Farm Bowl lol

[Deamonbane]

Doesn't look like it's going to happen though. Jesus fucking hell, the defense might as well have stayed in the locker room.

I couldn't agree with you more. I knew we weren't going to win but I expected us to fight. It's like the defense didn't Even show up.  I'm hoping during the draft we get some young players for defense and rebuild. The bills seem like they have years of losing to us to make up for.

Well it's on 2022 season come August!

Go Bengals Go Bucs!

[Deamonbane]

Honestly, I don't understand Bill's thinking. Run it three times, and then, on fourth and short in the first half, down two scores, your defense hasn't been able to stop them.

Let's punt. It's not like this is a playoff game or anything. Not like it's the season on the line and now is the time to start showing some trust in your QB or anything.

Seems like he had no intention of winning this game from the start.

[Lady Sakura]

Yes, sometimes I feel like Bill belichick and the coaching staff. Second guess themselves or they out think themselves. However, Bill isn't running the defense. It's his son making the calls. I think Bill just lets him do what he needs to do. So I would say this offseason, we need a really good defensive coordinator. And some really good assistance because this defense just laid out a goose egg. After those three out of four games were we lost most of them. I knew we were going to be one and done.

[CaptainErotica]

It will be against AZ as long as Green turns around this time.

AZ vs Buffalo in the Super Bowl. That's my prediction.

[Laughing Hyena]

Oh boy it is not a good day to be an Eagles fan but I will watch until the end. If you have an Eagles fan in your family, let them know you love em. And give em a stiff drink or just a favorite soda because holy cow they are dead.

[Lady Sakura]

Eagles fans can feel how the pats felt last night against the bills

[Laughing Hyena]

Yep. I feel that pain all too well. Still a successful season for both teams.

Our neighbors have a 'House Divided' flag out front (Eagles/Steelers).  From the noises in the street, I'm guessing that the Steelers fan came outside to give his wife a respite from his celebration?

[Laughing Hyena]

Steelers lost actually so, that's probably the end of Big Ben. And he's celebrating the end of that era. Or coping.

[Deamonbane]

There were only two good games of the six in the WC round. Might be time for them to stop letting 14 teams in.

The divisional round games do look like they'll be fun, though.

The Titans/Bengals game will depend on whether King Henry returns and how healthy he is for it. I'm predicting a shootout either way.

As much as I want the 49ers to beat the Packers, I don't think that's going to happen. Ay-Ay-Ron is too reliable, and Jimmy G is too unreliable.

Pretty sure that the Rams/Bucs is going to be a defensive struggle first and foremost, and probably the most difficult to predict. Bucs lost the Week 3 matchup, but that feels like a decade ago now. I'm picking the Bucs out of sheer bias.

Chiefs/Bills is going to be tough to predict too, but I'm picking the Bills to come away with the win unless the Chiefs D can pull off some serious heroics. Pretty evenly matched on offense, but the Bills D is going to get the job done for them.

[Deamonbane]

In other news: Both no. 1 seeds lost, and I'm terrible at this picking business.

Gotta hope that I have better insight into Sunday's games.

[Lady Sakura]

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a Rams-Bengals show down in the super bowl.  That would be a fun game.

As a Packers fan:  that totally sucked and is also an appropriate ending to this season for our team.  Ah well.

[Nico]

Doesn't look so great for the Bucs...   

[Lady Sakura]

*curiously goes to check the score* Oh crap! Wow. But there is plenty of time left. They'll adjust after the half I bet.

[Deamonbane]

Well, this time Brady... almost made it. I was yelling at them not to blitz Stafford, but they big fat did it anyways. Maybe they can't hear me from Norway.

Anyways, 0-3 on my predictions so far. All the road teams winning on last second kicks is pretty interesting though.

Sorry Bro :(

[Lady Sakura]

That game ended as a nail bitter for sure. Congrats Stafford he is making it to his first big playoff game he couldn't do with the Lions.

Not rooting for the Bills so go Chiefs!
