NFL playoffs

giants are a tough team, I got my money on them beating the packers. I got falcons pats in superbowl, maybe the chiefs can beat the pats. Atlanta has a much better offense than GB and would destroy them if they ever got past the giants and cowboys IMO

You mean like in week 8 when Atlanta beat the Pack 33-32...yep that packer offense is no match. Judging by your first comment and then the Atlanta one I'm guessing you might be a vikes fan or just have an intense hatred for the Pack.:;:duel

how'd that game go for ya twitch? looked like the falcons offense was a bit better than the packers offense

As a huge vikes fan im guessing bigger than most on this site i cant grasp why everyone wants green bay to lose? just cause they are in the NFC north? personally i cant stand matt ryan and the falcons so i wanted green bay to win if you are gonna hate green bay because their qb bitches about calls you will hate 95% of all football teams its part of the game now whether you like it or not, i always wanted big ben to get to the SB over Brady so now i have to figure out who the hell im gonna root for during the super bowl, unfortunately i think its gonna be the pats but mostly i dont really care

We will be pulling for Atlanta as they are in the NFC.
They played a solid game on both sides of the ball yesterday and the Packers didn't play well on either side yesterday. That is how it goes in the NFL and sports in general.
Atlanta is going to be a force in years to come and so will Dallas.

i hate green bay for alot more reasons than Arog so i always want them to loose. I have liked the patriots and vikes for ever dad told me when i was little i would never see my teams win a SB. Thank you Tom and Bill for proving him wrong. There old school logo with the little guy on it was why i liked them when i was 6 haha

haha well bill and brady really REALLY proved your dad wrong haha! but he's been spot on with the vikes and then some....

I want to see Goodell hand the trophy off to Belicheck and Brady. Then I want Brady to teabag Goodell. Pats 44-41. Gostkowski (sp?) wins it for the pats.

he is a life long vikes fan so he knows the pain of going to the sb and losing it multiple times.

I want to see Goodell hand the trophy off to Belicheck and Brady. Then I want Brady to teabag Goodell. Pats 44-41. Gostkowski (sp?) wins it for the pats.

that would be number 1 one on a top ten sb moments list

There was some bad officiating last night from pulling brown to the ground after five yards to hands to the face at least two different times as well as a fumble that should of went to the steelers. Awful game I hope Atlanta wins

Everything that could go wrong did for the Pack. Start the game with a missed fg, then on the second drive that they were moving right down the field the fb fumbles. Just like that they're down 17-0. Then Ryan fumbles and our lb let's 5-0 Taylor Gabriel rip the recovery away. Then the db's drop two sure int's and bam you're down 30-0. I wouldn't blame the offense to much. Easily could have been 24-24 at half if the bounces go the other way. But you go ahead Botno Joe, I know as a vikes fan you rarely have anything to root for so you can only root against. Would have been great to see them in the Super Bowl but with all the injuries the Pack had it was a crazy run just to get into the NFC title game.

Pretty much disappointed in Pitts, they let brady pass at will, their defense against the pass pretty much stunk, I quit watching after 3 quarters. I'll be rooting for Atlanta...

 

[BotnoJoe]

seems like superbowl could actually be a good game to watch. I'm hoping for a shootout and don't really care who wins. You are right twitch but just like every other year as a vikings fan... they are sure looking good for next season! Superbowl here we come! haha

Pats defense wasn't any better alot of no calls even big Ben was wondering wtf was going on. When the steelers defensive lineman came out with the ball on the Brady fumble it was game over.

I want to see the Pats win the Super Bowl just to annoy the haters. Also, there's this:

Tom Brady discusses his friendship with Donald Trump

Tom Brady discusses his friendship with Donald Trump
Star New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady doesn’t understand why people make such a big deal about his friendship with President Donald Trump.

Ever since an iconic red “Make American Great Again” hat appeared in Brady’s locker, questions about his relationship with the controversial president abounded. And the morning after Brady led his team to an AFC Championship game, he was pressed again about his friendship with Trump on WEEI’s “Kirk and Callahan” radio show.

“I have called him, yes, in the past. Sometimes he’s called me, sometimes I call him,” Brady said Monday morning. “I always try to keep it in context. For 16 years you know someone before maybe he was in the position that he was in.”

“He’s been very supportive of me for a long time,” Brady continued. “It’s just a friendship for — I got a lot of friends so I call a lot of people.”

Then Brady asked, “Why is that such a big deal? I don’t understand that?”

The hosts pressed Brady to go more in-depth about his friendship with Trump and asked if there are particular things he has said or done that Brady disagreed with, but Brady remained fairly mum on the details of their relationship — maybe because his wife, model Gisele Bündchen, has reportedly told him not to talk politics anymore.

“I don’t want to get into it but if you know someone, it doesn’t mean that you agree with everything that they say or do, right,” Brady did say, adding that there’s a difference between knowing someone personally and publicly.

Brady has previously stated that he’s known Trump since 2002 when he judged a beauty pageant.

“He always gives me a call and different types of motivational speeches at different times,” Brady said.

As SB Nation previously reported, the Patriots franchise has a deep connection to Trump that extends past their star quarterback.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who also says he’s been friends with Trump for several years, wrote Trump a congratulatory letter in November that Trump read out loud to a crowd in New Hampshire.

“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have dealt with an unbelievable, slanted and negative media and have come out beautifully,” Belichick wrote. “You’ve proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable.”

And as SB Nation pointed out, Belichick’s girlfriend posted an Instagram photo of the pair with Trump at Mar-a-Lago during the NFL offseason.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, too, has vocalized his support for his “friend” Trump — despite a record of donating to Democratic politicians over the years.

“Loyalty is important to me, and he has been a wonderful friend,” Kraft told the New York Times earlier this month. “I think one of the great problems in the country today is the working poor, the middle class, that there hasn’t been growth in income on an equal basis, and I really think the policies he’s going to bring to bear are going to be great for the economic side of America.”

haha that was pretty damn hilarious!
i thought the officiating was very good and that was because they let ticky tacky shit go and let them play some football, the games were determined by how the players played football and not how the officials officiated and thats the way it should be, its playoffs baby stripes are gonna let them play more than they normally do!

Easily could have been 24-24 at half? Which game were you watching? Packers fans make me laugh ;:;rofl

Well let's see...Crosby misses a fg that makes it 10-3 if he makes it then the Pack gets a stop and drives down the field with ease until the fb fumbles on the what 13 yd line. So no fumble and it's 10-10. Then Atlanta scores we punt so would have been 17-10. Then Ryan fumbles and the packers lb let's a tiny little receiver rip it away from him. Plenty of opportunity if the bounces go the other way to have been tied or down 10 or 14 instead of 30-0. Not really that big of reach

Thrilling analysis....may I suggest not quitting your day job and also either change the team you root for to make you a happier person or maybe take up golf

I'm happy with the Packers run fritz thanks... I mean they started 4-6 still were able to win the division instead of the vikes and made it all the way to the NFC title game. But glad you're concerned ;:;popcorn
