Aaron Glenn turned down the request by the Pats, smart move by him, he knew what was going down, the fluff rooney rule interviews of Leftwich and Pep Hamilton of all people.   Bears had to put Vrabel on the books, makes good nfl sense, but it was a long shot

For a number of years, when measuring coaching success making the playoffs was a plus. Since the latest expansion to the playoffs, I am not so sure it is what it once was. The Steelers lost their last 4 regular season games and made the playoffs.....and lost. Even before this expansion, the Eagles get rid of Andy Reid. And after all their success, Bill Bellichick is fired in New England. 

The season is too long. Watching the games this weekend, there were a LOT of injuries. The playoffs seem to have become a battle of attrition.

Just a couple thoughts.

Green Bay holding the Draft in April.   Fingers crossed its not 30 and snow storm 

[Irishman]

lol

[Coach Nowlin]

Also, just saying, last time, this happened they won Super Bowl 

also, there is a crazy stat about Ravens winning super bowl with 28 year old QBs.....Just saying 

[Irishman]

The Chiefs are good, no question about it, but 2 awful penalties for hits on Mahomes lead to KC getting 10 points. The 2nd one was the worst. The 2 defenders hit each other, plus, Mahomes was a runner. There have to be scenarios like this where he becomes JUST a runner and loses the slide protection. 

[Irishman]

What was arguably the best division pulls a HUGE flop in the playoffs going 0-3, and all 3 lose bad. WOW 

[Sparty]

UNS roughness on the rams, giving the rams a 1st down. The rams DB literally hit the ball with his shoulder, which dislodged the ball.  Another awful call by these “elite” crews.

For the tin foil folks 

Chiefs are 18th team in the NFL who in rank on beneficial calls 

 

Agree their needs to be more opportuinity for QBS to be officiated so they don't get to play the defenders easing up for more yards, not a fair standard of an already unfair standard on physicality of the position 

assuming the penalty was for unprotected player under the stature that NFL goes by on that kind of play, no matter where the defender made contact (no head to head) 

At this point, might as well have those bang bang calls get officiated in the booth then radio down, I would be fine with that

I couldn't believe Sirani went to a prevent with only a 13 point lead and more than 4 minutes left to play.  It almost bit him and the Iggles.

The penalties sure seem to benefit the chiefs at opportune times.

Two solid games today. While weather was a factor, both games came down to key possessions late. Of the 4 teams left, I think I am rooting for the Bills. It would not bother me if the Eagles or Commanders won......just not the Chiefs. 

[Sparty]

Mark Andrews’ fumble and dropped 2point conversion killed the Ravens. 
 

Should be 2 really good championship games next weekend.

I wanted the Bills to win, but I hated see the game end like that. Would have been fun to see Allen lead a game winning drive or to see OT. My prefered list of Super Bowl winners: 

• Buffalo
• Washington
• Kansas City
• Philly

Very, very rare I'll pull for a professional Philly sport team.

its the snowballs at Santa huh for Philly 🙂
