Wild Card Weekend recap

Saturday:

[49ers 41, Seahawks 23]

The 49ers were actually pushed for a half by the plucky Seahawks, but in the 2nd half they pulled away easily. 

[Jaguars 31, Chargers 30]

The Vikings certainly didn't have the worst loss of the weekend. That would be the Chargers, who used four Trevor Lawrence interceptions to build a 27-0 lead...then blew it all. It wasn't exactly a stirring comeback, just very methodical. 

Sunday:

[Bills 34, Dolphins 31]

I only watched the first half of this game, during which the Bills were easily dispatching Miami. Then weirdness happened. Miami actually had a 2nd half lead, before the Bills got control back and avoided what would have been one of the biggest playoff upsets of all time. 

[Bengals 24, Ravens 17]

Another near huge upset. But then the Burrow Bullshit stepped in and got that fumble return TD. 

Monday:

[Cowboys 31, Buccaneers 14]

Tampa did not deserve to be in the playoffs. But at least it gave us the chance to see Brady take an ugly blowout loss. Even the Dallas kicker missing 4 PATs barely made a ripple. I don't believe for one second that Brady will retire for good now. He will milk it all offseason just like Rodgers will.

2025 NFL predictions

We shall start in the AFC. Buffalo remains the clear class in the east, and will contend again for the Super Bowl.  The Patriots, with a little more stable coaching and an improving Drake Maye, are one of my wild card picks. The Jets will be competitive with the douchebag Rodgers gone, but don't have the juice to really contend. And Miami is just adrift, basically, playing out the string of the Tua era. Dangerous on a game by game basis, but not contenders. Baltimore again takes the north, and once again, the story will be can they win in the playoffs. The Bengals have all the offense they need to be a threat, and even just a slight improvement in the defense gets them back to the playoffs. Sorry, Pittsburgh. I usually root for them, but not this year with the douchebag Aaron Rodgers there. He's washed up. But the Tomlin rules all but guarantee 9 wins and at least fringe contention. Cleveland will stink, unless Joe Flacco pulls off another miracle. The south is easily the worst...

Message Board Classics: 2007 NFL Season

8/11/07--preseason post: Now, onto some football, since I went to the Vikings preseason opener last night. I only went cause I had the ticket, and I only had that cause I had to buy one with a ticket to the Packer game. Anyway, it was a colossal bore, but I found the play of T Jack somewhat encouraging. I'm pulling for the guy, and hope for the best. Bobby Wade looked pretty good too. As usual I will save my predictions for just before the season, but I will reveal that I think the Patriots will win it all. I am only able to deal with this because I got to see the Steelers and Colts get theirs the last 2 seasons. And there's always that hope that the playboy wannabe Brady will get his knee ligaments shredded at some point. Season Predictions: AFC EAST 1. Patriots (14-2) Yes, sadly I see the dark times returning. Not cause of Moss. He's actually the lone hope. Maybe he'll destroy the team from within. But the Adalius Thomas signing and the other professional receivers ha...

The Patriots are the luckiest dynasty ever

We are days away from the Patriots likely winning their sixth title in 18 seasons of Brady and Belichick. It has been horrible. It has been lucky as hell. Lucky. As. Hell. There is not a single Patriots fan who accepts the slightest argument that the last 18 years have been what they are for any other reason than "Brady's the GOAT. Belichick is the GOAT. Best franchise ever! If you disagree you're just a jealous hater." Reasoning with these people is impossible. Sure, not everything has been luck. I grudgingly admit they're very good. But my god, no franchise has EVER had such a long, lengthy run of stupendous good fortune, or luck. It begins in the very game that kicked this whole thing off...the tuck rule game in January 2002. Oakland outplays the Pats in the snow, and late in the game they get a strip sack of Brady and a game-clinching fumble recovery. Game over. Except a replay somehow overturns the call due to an unknown rule that was also interpreted w...
