The Chiefs take the Falcons choke in the big moment award.

No argument there 🙂
Winning games will fill the seats, and he do just that but the risk of moving to Vegas is that they may never fill the seats, it may just not be a football town. I get your point and we saw the very thing happen with the patriots, back when Bill Parcells was hired. Prior to that you could walk up to the ticket window and but a season ticket. After that, people had to go on a waiting list.

Yeah, I was shocked to see them collapse at home like that, but then this is the 6th straight playoff game at home for them

Rams inexperience caught up with them. It was a great season and I think they were way ahead of schedule and McVay will look back at this game and learn from it.
Like all the other losses earlier in the season, Rams panicked and abandoned the run and Gurley. It didn't help that it was their special teams that greatly contributed to that but when they started going to Gurley and using their hurry up offense, it was a lot more effective than what they were trying to do for most of the first half.
As for next season, Rams absolutely need help at the CB position and as good as their front 4 is, they need to create a scheme where they can be effective stopping the run as they are with their passing defense. It's all good when they can shoot the field and get pressure on the QB but when that doesn't work, they're leaving gaps wide open and we saw that last night.

Wow. yup.
God forbid but I can see the Jags winning the SB something like 6 - 3 ... lol.
Hopefully Big Ben picks that D of theirs apart.

The boys in Black and Gold are now going to Minneapolis. It'll be a tough game. However, if the team keeps putting the same (or tougher) pace as they did vs Panthers, then there is very strong possibility they advance.

I don't mind this team, it is the black and yellow team from pitt that I don't like! I am actually pulling for these guys or one of the bird teams!

I watched the first half while doing something else, turned it off and randomly glanced at the score in the third quarter when it was 10-3. Then I checked the score this morning, looks like I didn't miss anything 😀

There is only one team that I strongly dislike and loathe with the heat of a million suns... Other than that I just want to see a close enjoyable game.

Sorry, I probably should have searched the thread. I know a lot of folks don't like that team from NE.

I'm with you on that. At this point, I'm rooting for anyone but the Patriots.

No, I like the Saints, it was the other teams I listed out that I can't stand... Hate, or maybe a better word for it is loathed, detest, or abhor. The saints are all good, for now!
