Jacksonville made a huge mistake. They could have had Tebow. The value of the franchise would have doubled overnight and the Jags would likely stay in Jacksonville for at least another decade. Now that the team is sold, look for the team to be moved within 3 years.

New England sure does remind me of AL.

You got it. The Pats want Brady to go out in a blaze of glory. If Brady wins that fourth ring, look for him to call it a career.

I knew Denver would not survive the meat grinder called New England.

Doug Flutie kicked a drop kick for 3 points while playing for the Pats.

Out of curiosity, are you a Patriots fan? Or are you anti-Christan? Seriously ...

“Next week, GB in a massacre.”

I hope you’re right. But as a Packers fan, I’ve seen enough games this year. Their defense, though leading the league in takeaways, is pretty damned bad.

The fight was a cheap shot after the whistle blew. Then the brouhaha continued.

Another dangerous cheap shot by a Denver player in the game. Real classy. The announcers noted that four Patriots buried the fool.

Had awoken when that fight was taking place. Look for that player to be fined.

Giants look pretty good right now.

I hope so. Some personal foul penalties happen in the heat of the game but to deliberately attack a player from behind after the whistle is inexcusable. He should have been ejected.

Yeah!!! I give the gnats about as much chance as I gave the Broncos. I really don’t care for the Packers, but the NYGs will be overmatched. The close game during the regular season was an anomoly.

Wow. Why does every talking head in the NFL continue to talk up Saints Defensive coach Williams? Last years’ playoffs Seattle that D look stupid.

This year it was the 9’ers in their first playoff gtame in 8 years.

I wouldn’t wait for other teams to make an offer on the guy, I’d have fired him on the field after the final whistle blew.

Pats/Broncs....That was just the Pats doing to a heavy run team with a crappy D what you DO to a heavy run team with a crappy D. Outscore them, fast. They can’t pass so they can’t keep up. This is not a personal knock on Tebow but c’mon, this was Tom freakin’ Brady. Who did not think that he might have been a little miffed being overlooked in the media for Gods’ chosen one?

4 TD’s is a great game, 6 and it was personal.

The 49'ers made some pretty good sticks, but losing the ball even with good hits is more an issue of preparation rather than the hits. Case in point when one saint returner fumbled the ball twice on the same play.

Again when a visiting team coughs up the ball 5 times, and home team still barely win tells me that this is a highly flawed playoff team, I give them little chance to make it to the SB.

The Patriots start off every game by choosing to receive the kick off in the second half, at least every time they win it. They have won it a lot this year.

You speak of what you know, I’m sure. And I am sure what you know is encyclopedic.

This is bizarro weekend where 3 out 4 teams outplay their opponents and lose. (Saints, Texans, Packers)

I thought it was an astute observation on the part of someone who doesn’t think they follow much...:)

This last one was a shocker. I, like many, though the Packers were a shoo-in. I’m fine with a Patriots Giants rematch!
