Yet somehow despite being "too short" he's a 1st ballot HOF player w2ho's been around for 19 years. He had an injury about a month ago, multiple cracked ribs and a collapsed lung, I had a single broken rib last year, the pain is excruciating and clearly Brees was lacking arm strength last night, he might be done but if so he's had a hell of a run.

Just to note that all my picks were correct.
Nice work!
3-4 for me but the one I got wrong (Saints) was also who I was leaning towards going to the Superbowl for the NFC. Between that and Mahomes going down I'll need to re-calculate!
Have to say this weekends games were a bit under-whelming... in fact the one I had the lowest expectations for (Chiefs/Browns) turned out the best of the bunch!

The Game was good but the Browns couldn't defeat the Chiefs even after Mahomes went down...they had a good chance...sigh.
We'll see if Mahomes has any lingering effects next week.

I'm leaning towards the Bills even if Mahomes can play since I doubt he'll be better then 75% although I'm not making my final call on the AFC just yet. Need to peruse the injury-reports beyond QB.
Going with Tampa to upset GB though despite the cold weather!

So, Brady quietly walking into the NFC conference game and everyone in New England turning to look the other way. Now let's see if they can demolish GB.

I know.
What's with you guys, anyway? I understand all of this about Brees. It's like I'm insulting your mothers or something FFS.

You may never have a better shot ... I'm favoring Tampa AND Buffalo at this point although I have yet to "officially" pick the Bills over the Chiefs.
Probably because so many told Brees "no, you fucking can't, your too short" and he said "fuck you, watch me", not a Saints fan, but tons of respect for that dude.
Congrats for the Bills and their fans, they've built quite a nicely balanced team, well coached too, I give them a real good shot of taking it all this year, classy Bills "mafia" actually donated to Jackson's charity to the tune of $75K plus, just too damm cool.
The fumble in the EZ is just a horrible rule and the ref clearly blew the helmet to helmet contact that caused the fumble to begin with.i wanted the Browns to win.
they never made it to even play in the Superbowl EVER.

Sounds like Mahomes will play. He passed all his tests today and they said he didn't hit his head, he tweaked a nerve in his neck. When I saw the replay I didn't see any dramatic head impact there, so that could be the case.
The tackler didn't even try to extend his arms like he was making a tackle, he just led with his head. They even reviewed the play, but that part of the play was not reviewable. Such arcane replay rules in the NFL still. They just can't get it right.

If he's allowed to play at all, the NFL concussion protocol means only an independent neurologist can clear him to play, who knows how badly he was dinged, saying he "feels great" by the coach carries zero weight to a Dr.

Same here.. Just so I could have a chance to see them at Bills Stadium this weekend. My cousin is a newer season ticket holder, so we couldn't get in for wild card or div round, but our chances of getting tix for AFC Champ game would've been pretty good.
You're assuming that Tampa can best a very good Green Bay team with their QB playing like a total beast and playing at home on a frigid field, we'll see what happens.
