Remember Drew Bledsoe? I do.
Great guy with absolutely NO one to back him up on the line.

That's why I'm wondering if its better to find a replacement QB for next year while they rebuild the offence. I don't think Brady will want a new bargain contract. He doesn't deserve that from Foxboro.

The general belief around here is that Tom will stay on as the starter if that is what he wants to do at least for another year. With his filthy rich model wife money has never been an object for Brady so I don't think he'll demand a big payoff, especially if it will give us the cap space needed to get him some good receivers and shore up the O-line.

Well Sunday sure sucked.

Hopefully next Monday night will be better.

[Mr Quatro]

Sorry about your loss Fred ... three years in a row for the Saints spells a curse to me

What do you mean next Monday night?

All games are Saturday and Sunday now

[Mr Quatro]

The Houston Texans play the KC Chiefs Sunday which was already played last October and billed one of the best games of 2019

I pick the KC Chiefs

Here's their last game in brief:



Here's all of the picks for Saturday and Sunday NFL playoff games

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2...g-the-packers/

After a thrilling Wild Card round that featured two overtime games and multiple shocking upsets, only eight teams remain with a chance at fulfilling their postseason dreams. The divisional round of the 2020 NFL playoff bracket is set, with the Baltimore Ravens, the No. 1 seed in the AFC, hosting the Tennessee Titans, who knocked off Tom Brady and the defending champion New England Patriots last week. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers get set to make their 2020 NFL Playoffs debut at home against the Minnesota Vikings, who have beaten the Niners in four of their last five meetings.

A total of four tantalizing divisional round matchups will be on tap this weekend: Vikings vs. 49ers, Titans vs. Ravens, Seahawks vs. Packers and Texans vs. Chiefs. The Ravens, who enter the divisional round having won 12 consecutive games, are going off as 2-1 favorites to win it all in the latest 2020 Super Bowl odds. They're followed by the 49ers (7-2), Chiefs (7-2), Packers (7-1), Seahawks (12-1) and Vikings (18-1). The Texans and Titans are 30-1 long shots to win it all

Drew Bledsoe... I remember waaaaay back When Peyton Manning was still in College. I think it was shortly after the War of Northern Aggression. He was hot stuff back then.

This is funnier than any remaining football.

NFL Playoff Games on TV Today


AFC Divisional Playoff: Houston at Kansas City, 3:05 p.m. on CBS

These teams met earlier in Arrowhead Stadium this season with the Texans winning 31-24 back in Week 6. The talents of Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were on full display in that game, as the two dynamic quarterbacks combined for 594 total yards of offense and six total touchdowns.

They also committed four turnovers. But the key for the rematch could be the improvement the Chiefs' defense has shown since the Week 12 bye.

Houston's defense also looked different last week against Buffalo with J.J. Watt back on the field. Winner of this game will host the surprising Tennessee Titans next Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Wow!

The Titans knocked off No. 1 seed Baltimore 28-12 on Saturday night a week after beating defending Super Bowl champion New England in the Wild Card Round.

This is it folks NFL Championship Playoffs this Sunday see your local stations for times and events.


I pick KC Chiefs by 7 points over Tennessee Titans (which KC has only beat once in 9 games)


AFC Championship forecast

Service: The Weather Channel
Projected weather: Mostly sunny
Projected temperatures: 23 degrees (high), 8 degrees (low)
Game-time projection: Sun and a few passing clouds; much colder
Chance of rain: 0 percent

While there isn't even a slight chance of rain (or snow, in this case) listed for Sunday's game, this matchup will no doubt be a whole lot colder than the one being played later in the day -- and not just because we're talking about Missouri rather than California. Sunday afternoon is set to be the coldest time of the whole week in K.C., with temperatures climbing toward the 40s the following weekend. Does that mean much for the game? Not necessarily. But if the winds approach 15 miles per hour along with the cold conditions, it might be worth having a conversation about how the Titans are better suited for that kind of weather. The Chiefs, remember, thrive on the aerial attack, while Tennessee's bread and butter is grinding it out on the ground.

I love Green Bay, but it's the San Francisco 49ers turn for go to a Super Bowl


49ers by 2 points (the Packers have had a much easier schedule than the 49ers)


NFC Championship forecast

Service: The Weather Channel
Projected weather: Partly cloudy
Projected temperatures: 62 degrees (high), 46 degrees (low)
Game-time projection: Considerable cloudiness
Chance of rain: 20 percent

In other words, don't expect the weather to inhibit or heavily influence the game on Sunday night. Aside from heavy humidity and a small chance of rain, there's nothing to worry about here. Both teams might not be playing under sunny skies, but they might as well be doing so. Nothing should be off-limits in terms of game-planning, and since both sides tend to lean on the ground game anyway, the clear forecast shouldn't benefit one team over the other.

The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl
for the first time since 1970

35-24 victory over Tennessee Titans

49ers 27 to Packers 7 3rd quarter 7 minutes left plus the 4th quarter
not much hope here

[Mr Quatro]

Playoffs are over KC won and 49ers won (big time)

https://www.newsweek.com/super-bowl-...-49ers-1483014

The Kansas City Chiefs have opened as slight favorites to defeat the San Francisco 49ers when the two teams meet in Super Bowl LIV in Miami, Florida, on February 2.

The Chiefs will play for the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in 51 years after beating the Tennessee Titans 35-24 in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

The 49ers return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2013 after steamrolling the Green Bay Packers 37-20 in the NFC Championship Game.
