What if Chortles gets hurt and it's Henne vs. Brady: the ultimate Michigan QB showdown? I can dream.

I remember the good old days, when the Steelers played defense, and the jaguars were the perennial doormat of the NFL. Good times. Of note, big Ben had his best ever playoff game, at home, and they still lost.

Tomlin is a great person, & is a good coach.... Never has been a great coach. If you watched this game, you saw some big coaching mistakes by the Steelers.

So much offensive skill. You got Big Ben and all your TDs on the day were SCTop10 territory but their game management was terrible and they generally looked lost against a Jags team that barely squeaked by the Bills last week. That team should be better than they are

Brady is the obvious favorite but the kinds of games he loses are low-possession DL in his face affairs. You can't see any chance of that happening vs Jax in this the Year of Bad Quarterbacks?

I fear we're getting two weeks of talking heads shouting at each other about if/how much either Super Bowl team would be better with Kaepernick. Follow that up with a month of "were the ratings down because protests?" following Jags/Vikes or whatever. We're doomed to sports commentary hell.

I sort of wanted Minnesota to make it to the Super Bowl. It would be cool to have  a team make the SB thats hosting it .

Now im watching them vs the Saints.  All i can think is i dont want to hear that stupid Vikings horn any more . So now I dont want the Vikes to make it .

Holy fucking shit. That was just amazing by Diggs and awful by the defense. 

And for the love all that is holy, can this happen to Michigan to just once? Just once? That was fucking amazing.

Also, how dumb is the rule that you have to kick the extra point? It's one thing if it's within two points and a return could change the outcome. But in this case? Pure dumbassery.

That ending was insane. Fun fact: If that was a college game the Saints would have won. Diggs celebrated before scoring. Game would have ended with an offensive penalty.
