I'm also a life-long NY Mets fan .... after the "Wilponzi's" I thought I'd seen it all in terms of incompetent management but keeping Judge would top all of them.

I'm not going back over all the reasons I feel this way but Judge NEEDS TO GO!

Your team incubated The Calamity know as Belichick. Now the Giants have eaten the fruit of the forbidden Belichick tree with predictable results. 😉

Tampa D is pretty vulnerable given they are severely injured....so it's all on Tom...

I actually think Dallas might be the worst thing for the Bucs and Brady....because Parsons is one freak of a player....4.36 40 time pass rusher who can also cover is just...and the other Diggs can make Brady pay.

Shockingly I agree about the Cowboys. 😀

In fact I think Dallas has some serious potential to be the "sleeper" NFC champion.

They're not a good matchup for any of the other division winners in the NFC and provided they can get by the big/physical 49'er's I'm not sure who beats them till they face the AFC winner.
 
Friggin power struggle for Flores? Gimmie a break. Not that I don't believe it, but it's so petty. Especially when Grier has been there for 20+ years and the Dolphins have sucked the whole time. At what point does the owner maybe possibly think the GM is the wrong guy?

San Fran leading...let's see if this new Rams O can drive down the field...and maybe...tie?

I watched the whole game. I didn't think for a second that it looked good for the 49ers, until OMG they won with that interception.

It seemed like the opposite of the 49ers vs Titans game a few weeks ago where the 49ers totally dominated the first 1/2 and then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the 2nd 1/2. Garoppolo made horrible mistakes in that game. What chance did he have against Stafford yesterday with a torn thumb ligament in his throwing hand and Stafford looking incredibly great, all his tough passes pinpoint accurate? Just seemed impossible 49ers would win the game. Their receivers really stepped up. Kittle seemed to be a non-factor, I guess the Rams keyed on him. I give up trying to predict what's going to happen with them.

Just popped in to celebrate Chicago getting rid of Nagy AND Pace. It's like an extra Christmas present. Now we just have to wait to see what garbage we get to replace them. History says it won't be good.

Yeah....owners are often monopolized investors. They're rich, but lose money/opportunity when a team doesn't win enough. Tickets and merchandise don't sell...not does advertising and your games are less likely to be in that prime-time window.

Dolphins lost their season early on when Tua Tagtag hurt his ribs. They had a heck of a losing streak and then a heck of a winning streak. I think it was a jerk move to fire the coach now, but perhaps he was only on a 2 year contract and they didn't want to sign another multi-year agreement if there was another coach they were eyeballing.

San Fran sounds bipolar, showing vestiges of that Super Bowl appearing team

Or maybe Tua won...Flores might not have had confidence in Tua.

For San Fran there's the legendary greatness haunting, always. Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Ronnie lot, Bill Walsh, then Steve Young era and George Seifert. It was all over when Eddie DeBartolo was forced out. It has an effect. When SF collapsed in Tennessee a few weeks ago I thought "Joe Montana would never have allowed that to happen," which was quite true.

Tennessee being top seed in the AFC boggles my mind. They were so bad in the first half of that game. I see no chance for them to survive in the playoffs.

Tennessee was without multiple linesman and the best running back in the league, had a bad half, and still handed the 49ers their only loss in their final 5 games. But you see no chance for them to survive. Okay then.

You have a better take on it then me, but what I saw in that game made it seem they aren't close to the best team in the league. If they win the SB, I'll be surprised.

Titans played ugly football and all they have is Henry. Tannefail does not have what it takes and their two WRs are emasculated by Belichick poison.

Which reminds me...Buffalo got roasted by such a team playing ugly football.......

I'm not sure what you saw but I think you need your vision checked! 😉

The Titans NEARLY went down in flames as a team this season when they lost Henry, but once they adjusted and got over the shock they've been very solid.

I'm still picking the Chiefs to take the AFC but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Titans win it.

Lets put it this way, they finished the last 4 games very strong, the defense got healthy and has been terrific and the offense was scoring well WITHOUT the league's best running back who will be back for the playoff's. Oh, they get a bye the 1st round and can stay home and get healthy AND will have home field advantage for any opponent until the superbowl, if they make it.

I think the AFC will come down to those two as well, and if it does it should be a great game. KC's D has come quite a ways since the early games but they seem to get a lot of penalties, we'll see if that gets cleaned up in the playoff's.
