Well I haven't been posting much. My Daughters wedding and then right after a demand from work to do 12 hour days and work through the weekend. So I just haven't had time. But I have been watching the football.
Overall, the AFC is manned by 2 teams and the NFC is a crowded batch where many teams still control their own destiny.
Dallas got steamrolled the last three games and is now out of the mix.
KC who had such a promising start is still ahead in their division but has lost 4 of their last 5.
Seahawks can still get into the playoffs but they have to win, and the Falcons have to lose. Currently all the teams in the NFC that are in the playoffs have the tie breaker agaisnt the Seahawks, so their road is harder.
Falcons won against the Cowboys and the Seahawks and now have to play a division game at home against Tampa Bay. Falcons have to win most of the Division games to make a run for it.
Tampa needs to win a couple of games in the division just to move up but are so far out in the conference I dont think they can make a run this year.
Panthers are still winning games but look vulnerable.If they drop a game in the NFC and the Falcons win a game, the Falcons move up and they move down.
Saints have won 8 in a row but their best test is tomorrow when they play the Rams.
Speaking of the Rams, they are not a pushover and look good as well.
Vikings are running away with their division with 9 wins.
The 9 win club is shared by the Eagles that look like the most complete team in the NFL.
As usual the Steelers and Patriots are the only contenders in the AFC. What a crappy division when it comes to competition.

The Bucs have the talent in many areas. Get rid of Mike Smith. Why would he single cover Julio all night and let him eat them up? Gotta get Winston back. He is the heart of this team and you can tell when he is out.aTOMiC wrote:Falcons took another step toward keeping their playoff hopes alive.
The Bucs did not.
Fitzpatrick started well but then he seemed to quit making his throws. Granted Atlanta's D was giving pressure but I never saw him really need to run for his life.
Next up for the Falcons will be the Vikings. Another 9 win team. IF and I say that with baited breath.. If the Falcons can win this next one, I think they will be able to make a run for it again. Still gotta beat the Saints at least once, and the Panthers once... But if we beat the Vikings... I see that as achieveable.

Post Season!!!!
NFC South has 3 spots in the playoffs this year. I dont think I have ever seen that but there it is.
The Panthers looked horrible in the game against the Falcons. The Falcons defense was rocking it as they have this season. If Defense wins Championships, then this team has the makings of a playoff team that can go long.
Saints came into Tampa thinking Tampa would just fold, and they didnt. They played to the last snap and won the game. Lucky for the Saints, the Panthers lost and the Saints win the Division.
AFC - Its Patriots (again grrrrr), the Steelers, and the Jags in my opinion. It will be nice to see a different team in the AFC playoffs that is playing well. Jags lost in SF but that might be the smack in the mouth they need before a playoff run.
GAME ON!!!

I hear you. Of course, having it on will be mandatory, as Dam-sel and Menolly will insist on seeing the commercials...but it has been a very long time since the vaunted Super Bowl commercials have really been that compelling.SoulBiter wrote: I have not yet decided if I am even going to bother to watch.
Most likely, I will come up with an immersive cooking plan and raise the bar on continuous delivery of munchies. That and celebrate the fine local craft beers that will never be advertised during the Super Bowl. Dam-sel may join me for the non-IPA choices.
If I watch, I'll be favoring Philly. Apologies to NE partisans, but that's the way it is.

I'm not really a fan of either team. I went 0-2 in the conference final round. I thought it would have been neat if the Vikings had played on their home field for the Super Bowl and the Jaguars were a good change of pace from the usual, having been pretty bad until recently.
I'll probably order a pizza and pick up a 6 pack of Bell's Two Hearted ale.
