Update: WOW. What a way for the playoffs to start. Deshaun Watson is A BEAST.

PLAYOFFS!? DON’T TALK ABOUT PLAYOFFS!

Does it seem weird to anyone else that they did both AFC games today and NFC games tomorrow? I had to go back and look, and it’s not the first time that’s happened, but it seems odd not to have one of each on each day. Anyway, here we go...

Bills at Texans: As much as I’d love to see a Bills-Vikings Super Bowl (because one of them HAS to win, right?), I don’t think it will happen. Then again, which Texans team shows up... the one that took down the Patriots and made Tom Brady look very old, or the one that went down 38-3 to the Broncos before the Broncos got bored with playing defense and quit trying? I don’t know. I don’t get ABC very well at my place so I’ll probably have to go for a drive and listen to it or head for my local cigar lounge.

Titans at Patriots: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TITANS, PLEASE END OUR COLLECTIVE SUFFERING. Knock these fuckers out. There will never be a better chance to get rid of the Pats than this year. DO IT. PLEASE!

This game is on ESPN also.

I think they just schedule for ratings. Bury the Bills, put NE in prime time. At least there’s no Cowboy game lol.

The Pats probably deserve to loose this year but Bill Belichick and Tom Brady always seem to figure out how to pull something out of their ass when it matters.

No cable, but I managed to get the antenna to pull in ABC.

This game is B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

It’s good you have a pic of them, as it won't be going to seven. :P

I agree, I'm not saying they're dead until they are good and dead.

Yup. 13-3 is still very much alive, even if it was a quite ugly 13-3.

I guess I'm a glass half-full guy, because I prefer to look at that as an amazing play by Watson. But I'm not gonna say you're wrong, either.

Yeah - a great game as long as you’re not a Bills fan. Hope they’re all that good!

It’s shaping up that way!

I feel a little bad for the Bills, but it looks like they'll be back.

Even if the Pats win this game, they’re done. This Titans team isn’t very good and they're struggling against them.

For this year. Brady didn't do a lap around the field, so I'd be willing to bet money he's going to come back.

I was just referring to the Pats season, not Brady.

I can NOT see him walking away with that ending. I’d bet on him returning in 2020.

Hot take incoming... I think we’ve already seen him in his last Super Bowl. Oh, I think he’ll come back, and I’d be surprised if it was somewhere else now given how he walked off the field. But this season has been different. It’s definitely reminded me of Peyton Manning’s last season with the Broncos. I’m afraid Brady will hang around too long now because he wants that storybook ending.

But I doubt that it would diminish what he’s accomplished, even if he does do that. I’m glad I’ve gotten to see his career unfold , even if it’s driven me nuts sometimes.

Oh no, what will I ever do. I guess I'll have to dry my tears with 20 years of unparalleled dominance.

Unparalleled? Didn’t you guy just lose the Super Bowl two years ago to a backup quarterback from Philly?


Kinja'd!!! WilliamsSW > fhrblig

I don’t think that’s a very hot take. It’s been obvious to me for a while that he was probably going to be a guy who hung around a year or two too long, and he’ll be 43 before next season.

No way the last pass of his career is a clinching pick 6, but he wasn’t all that great this year ( though his receiver crew was really bad). Unless he gets a surrounding cast that can carry him to the Super Bowl as a game manager QB, he probably won’t play any more February football.

But then again, I would never count out him and Belichi ck...

I know this isn’t a serious question, because it’s a settled debate, but think of another team in the NFL with this much success in a 20 year span.

I do appreciate how quickly you ignored LAST year, though.

The fact you feel the need to defend the dominance of the Patriots to a Cardinals fan highlights why it’s so much fun when Boston teams lose.

NO ONE DENIES THIS!
