    FIFY, makes last weeks Steelers loss hurt that much worse.

    It's almost like every Texans offensive player has had prop bets on the opposing teams defense scoring the past 2 weeks.

    Thought the Bears were going to pull it off.

    Still think Denver has a chance, weather and altitude could become the deciding factor. Is Maye ready for the 2nd biggest game in the NFL?

    Darnold vs Stafford, think Darbold will pull it off. If he was injured today on rest, he'll still be rsted next week and healthier.

    All in all, 2 good games to bookend Divisinal Round playoff weekend with somewhat of a crapshow between.

    Bears making 4th quarter dreams come true. So close. I would rather watch Steelers or Bears in the end. Another bowl game with a no favorites match up.

    Not the outcome we wanted, but that was a hell of a game and a hell of a season for the Bears. I think Chicago has a lot to look forward to in the future with Ben, Caleb, Luther, Colston, and company. It was great to see Bears fans cheering their team on as they walked off the field last night.

    As for who is left in the tournament - meh. I won't be mad if the Seahawks or Rams win it all. I think it would be a great comeback story for Darnold, and how do you not like Stafford? McVay and Payton, I could do without. And as much as I like Vrabel as a coach, I'm generally just tired of seeing the Patriots win Super Bowls. Portnoy is starting to annoy me.

    Really was a strange season, seemed like any team that made the tournament had a chance to make it to the SB.

    Ugh, just seen Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy. Not a fan, especially if that means Rodgers is coming back.

    If anything I believe that would lead to Aaron to retire.

    Really hard to be a Steelers fan right now, the Rooney's are getting dumber with each generation.

    McCarthy isn't going to offer anything Tomlin couldn't have provided. He's 63, he's not a long term solution, he's a short term hope for a short term goal. The Rooney's are trying to win with their current roster and it has already been proven time and again it is not a winning roster. 5 years ago it was, but the lack of coaching talent on both sides of the ball couldn't take advantage of it. Tomlin could not acknowledge his coaching staff was the problem and that's why he became the problem.

    Now all coaching staff are gone, and McCarthy is going to bring in his idea with the Steelers brass expecting immediate results.

    It does not work like that. McCarthy has now placed himself to become the first Steelers head coach to be fired within 4 seasons.

    If the Rams lose today I'm going to be even more pissed about this as they could not wait one more weekend before making a bad decision.

    Feel like I should be living in Cleveland rooting for the local team.

    Barring an injury, Sm Darnold and the Seahawks have this one in the bag. It was going to be NFC regardless. New England cannot keep up in an offensive shootout, Maye just isn't there yet.

    When the first or second thing out of your mouth the past few games is praising the defense, you didn't do a whole lot to win, but just enough to not lose.

    With the way the sportsbetting world has unfolded of late, I wouldn't touch putting money on it though. Betting is going to be so heavy on Seahawks, I could almost see an upset or last minute WTF series that only Vegas benefits from.

    I'd say Seattle by 17 easily. I don't see New England as the team that can stop Darnold, barring injury, he's just having that dream year that's meant to be.

    Nothing negative on Maye, he's just not there yet and it showed in Denver before the weather moved in.

    On second thought, meme away.

    McCarthy says he definitely wants Rodgers back. If Rodgers comes back it tells me all I need to know.

    Rodgers made McCarthy a winner, not the other way around and both are past their prime.

    What has Aaron done without Mike? MVP's and NFC championship failures.
