Just think in another half we could have for the Championship games, Case Keenum, Blake Bortles, Nick Foles and Tom Brady as QB's.

Wow what an end to the game. I watched the entire first half of the Saints Vikings game and thought the game was over since Saints were playing like dog shit. I turn on to see the score with Saints up 21-20 with 3 ish mins left. HOLY shit did I miss a great comeback. I'm glad I got to see the rest of it live. wow what a play to end the weekend playoff games. I'm really hoping the Jags make the superbowl, I don't think they can do beat the Patriots but that's the team I'd like to win it all.

No way that happened. :eek :eek :eek

Bummer for Drew Brees, whose defense let him down again in an attempt to make to another Super Bowl.

Figures I stopped watching the Vikings game to make dinner and feed the kids. Missed all the excitement. That was a crazy catch. I have serious concerns about the Vikings after that game, but in the end all the matters is the win.

The Vikings almost gave me my yearly disappointment, but that'll have to wait a week. What an ending. I think we'll do just fine in Philly. SKOL!

Damn, I had the Vikes but was giving 5 1/2.  Why didn't they try to score a PAT at the end? ;)

So what you're saying is that it will be a defensive struggle between two inept offenses?

I'm going:

Atl @ Phi
Ten @ NE
Jax @ Pitt
NO @ Minn

I think the only lock is the Patriots. This could be Minnesota's hardest game in the playoffs. It will be a defensive struggle but I think the Vikings D has the edge and win 17-14. Atlanta has laid a TON of eggs this season and the Eagles are still a really good team. I think the Eagles hang on. The Jags defense will pressure Big Ben into one of his multi-INT games and pull out the win.

I wish I was a betting man!

And what a finish to the Vikings game. The Saints played like the Saints in the second half but the Vikings somehow pulled it off. I think that the Vikings vs. Eagles will be the best game remaining. I've got to go with my Vikings in this game. Both teams have great defenses but I think the Vikings have more offensive weapons.

I'm also pulling for the Jags. I think they have a legit shot against the Patriots though it's going to be tough.

Interviewing coaches is something that should wait until after the damn season. It's annoying that the loser teams get to disrupt the good teams as soon as the playoffs start.

I agree as well. I get that teams want to solidify their staff as soon as possible, but it's the teams that go deep into the playoffs that tend to have the candidates. It should all have to wait until after the Super Bowl.

On a side note, I have no idea why the coordinators from New England would want to leave that cushy job to take over a mess somewhere else. I guess they all want to see if they can cut it as a head coach.

No one remembers the great super bowl winning coordinators.

Case in point, aside from now when they are in the news a lot, ask the casual football fan what coach took the Patriots to all their super bowls. Then ask them who the coordinators were.

This is me with JMD. He's been elsewhere and he understands how good his situation is in NE. Moreover, he's got some sway in personnel where he is. They're not going to make him GM in Tennessee. Just seems like he's downgrading a great deal for the tile and the responsibilty.

In a similar vein, I have no idea why Gruden would want to go back to coaching. I get that $100,000,000 is a ton of money, but he's probably doing very well announcing games, and the quality of life after taking a coaching gig is going to be nightmarish. He's got a very laid back part time job now, that allows him to travel to two cities a week, eat great food, see some good games, and basically just be knowledgeable. Now he's taking on a job that he essentially has to work 24-7-365, and he doesn't get to enjoy the perks that come with it.

I'd take a million a year and a great job over 10 million a year and having to be an NFL coach easily. THere's really no contest. It's like the people who actually want to be president. They're not wired right.

edit: Seems the dude's making 6.5/yr announcing games. That basically takes money right out of the equation. He just wants to be a coach again.

Gruden is a high energy guy and probably misses the grind of being an HC.  Yeah, it's not for everyone and I'm sure he probably doesn't need the money.  He was set for life after leaving TB.  It's all personality driven.  He's going back to coaching because he loves it.

That's why I'm hoping for a Jags/Vikings SB.  Or Jags/Eagles but there's no way Philly beats Minny.  Hopefully the Jags will take it all.

Titans fire Mularkey!

No coach deserves to be fired more than Mike Tomlin. Then Haley right behind him. I drool thinking of the Steeler offense coached by Belichick/McDaniels are any tandem even remotely competent. Tomlin has made INEXCUSABLE coaching blunders and if the Rooneys were actually committed to winning he would be gone. Minority ethnicity makes him fire-proof I guess. Not to mention he lets the inmates run the asylum, primarily that useless Mike Mitchell who can’t tackle or cover but can sure talk.

I hope Jesse James slept well last night. If he had held onto the ball a few weeks ago it would have been NE getting smoked by the Jag’s D yesterday and Pit would have had the gimme game vs Ten (a team they had already thrashed this year).

I don't think that's entirely true.  Ask Dick LeBeau.  But point taken.

I do think that the skillset to be a great coordinator is not necessarily the skillset to be a great head coach.  The list of great coordinators to become great head coaches drops off after "Belichick", and is littered with guys named "Haley" and "Weis" and "Mularkey".

No shit, King.  I don't know about you, but one of the greatest things about being a Pats fan (and a Uconn basketball fan, because Geno Auriemma is the exact same way) is watching the latest in a long line of shitheads that think they can out psyche a team who's one common thread from Day One until today has been extreme mental toughness.   If you're going to insist on playing the mental game, if anything do things to get the Pats looking a game ahead; do NOT give them a reason to hunker down and take one game at a time.

It makes me laugh that this player was bitching about Pittsburgh looking over his team and he just did the same thing against the champions.

Someone tell you it doesn't matter but I've heard directly from Bill Belichick and players it matters. they use it all the time as motivation.

The Vikings have the defense to win the game, but only if they're offense plays better than it has in recent weeks. Plus the fact that its essentially a home game for them certainly helps a bit.

By-and-large, I agree.  But there are some co-ordinators that transcend this statement.  Patricia is likely one of them.  7 straight AFCC's, with a rotating cast of offensive talent.

Oh, and Wade Phillips won SB50 for Denver, not Kubiak.  :biggrin:

Changing lanes - since I was just looking at the AFCC history - since 2002, the AFCC has only been played in Foxborough, Mile-high, Pitt, and Indi.   :omg:  Talk about a lack of parity!

What will be interesting for Minnesota is that this year, the AFC are the designated home team for the Super Bowl, so if the Vikings reach the big game in their home stadium, they'll have to use the visitors' dressing rooms.
