It's quiet in here tonight....

Just about to run them now.

9 and ****ing 7. LMAO

Oh sure. League 2 Tom Brady gets into the championship.

Who's heart stop when this happened?

If Alex Smith beats Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning in the same postseason, serious software upgrades are needed.

:Pinky:

You gotta love good, close playoff games.

Well, all I can say is that with two 9-7 teams battling in the Sandbox Bowl, everyone should be counting their lucky stars that the 6-10 Duluth Pillagers didn't make the playoffs. That team would have Pillaged everyone.

59% pressure rate and 7 sacks?? Independence got Independenced...

Yep. Pitt's pass rush made the difference.

Clearwater, kudos to persevering through a disfunctional season all the way to our rematch; but it's nice to get that revenge this year! Good game, sir

I don't know, take away one rush from Morris and he went 20 for 40. Manning threw for 175. Your D held me in check. Upon further review, I'd say that Pierre Garcon lost that game for you more than I went out and won it. Check this out:
