I'm so torn over this one, and just about everything that's inspiring me to root one way, or the other feels petty. To whit: As is the case with most people here, I really don't like Tom Brady*. Advantage: Chiefs. As much as I dislike Brady*, I dislike Belichick* even more. A Brady* win rubs Belichick*'s nose in the failure of his season. Advantage: Bucs The Chiefs were punks when they beat us in the AFCCG. I wouldn't feel bad to see them curb-stomped. Advantage: Bucs However, if the Bucs win, that means we lost to the losers, and that doesn't sit well. Advantage: Chiefs I guess I just want to watch a good game...

Bob “Handyman” Kraft is quite a bit richer that Late Nate, and I make fun of him too.

You can talk about talent And who has more of it It’s enough to make your head throb There are backups with skills That some teams would covet But it’s Late Nate who still has a job. Peterman

I hope it's a total shootout where Blaine Gabbert leads the bucs to a close win over Chad Henne's Chiefs. Bucs- 6 Chiefs- 3

Well..... it was a heckuva season...

I don't know how anyone else feels, but I'm really glad the NFC game is on first.

If Stills has any chemistry with Allen at this point, I might want to have him in place of Davis. I'm not sure what's going on with Davis, but he's been in a slump, and has missed some catchable balls in his last several games. We shall see...

I agree with this. Not surprised he spent most of this season on the PS. I have to believe that CB is one of the harder positions to transition into the pros from college, and with the limits on rookies this time around, one can only be impressed with him. A seventh round steal.

Yeah, Duke Williams has fans on this board. Is there a reason to be a dick about that?

Watson to Miami Fields to jersey Fitzpatrick to NE* Bills with Allen This would be one helluva competitive division.

I don't think the big bosses spend much time in Jersey anymore...

So, the Jets end up with Justin Fields, or they acquire Deshaun Watson. One of those two things happen, and maybe you clowns have the second best QB in the AFCE?

I love Matt Milano. He's a great player, and his impact is unquestionable. But, he isn't even the MVP of the defense, let alone the entire team.

I was thinking when I saw that during the game, "dang! did Micah just give Taron a concussion???" Wow, good catch! If you go to the replay, where you showed that particular frame, and you advance frame by frame, it's pretty clear: Zimmer got two fingers on it. Pretty cool!

And also that he doesn’t read TSW.

I think Murphy did his job exactly by the scheme they played. He didn't get a sack, but I'm assuming his job in the scheme was to keep Jackson from escaping to his right. That's a tall order, and Murphy looked like a vet. Perfect fit for that game, IMO. Phillips had, I believe, the best game I've ever seen him in. He slipped tackles (against a decent line!) in a way that I didn't think he was capable of. And, he even looked fast. Great job by both players, IMO.

Weird Yeldon love on this thread. It's almost like amnesia...

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'd much rather see Antonio out there than Yeldon. In the limited time we've seen AW, I believe there is ample reason to be impressed. In the second half of the Dolphins game, they came out prepared to face Barkley. They played press man, and stacked the box, and Antonio, ran it down their throats on the first play. He showed a real ability to push the pile, and looked like the downhill runner that we lack. I know he is still a bit of an unknown commodity. But, unfortunately, Yeldon is a known commodity.

I did!

I have respect for Rothlisberger's career. But, honestly, that career should be over. He is terrible.

Jesus Christ! The Steelers are melting down!

I saw that same little stutter step, just before the catch. I replayed it for my son a few times. When you consider the velocity of that ball, as well. Amazing vision.

A friend of mine who is a Titans fan texted me (before their loss today): "Lol. You were 2 bad coaching decisions away from losing to the second best team in the AFC South." I replied: "If we could have equalized field position, we would have destroyed them." I'm still debating whether I should send a followup text: "Lol. You lost to the second best team in the AFC North."

Yeah, Lamar was pretty classless at the end there, also running into the tunnel, and snubbing Tannehill.
