Vikings
 

They barely won this, holy crap...

I think they are the only team that has a shot against the Patriots. If New Orleans won, Patriots take this easy.

Thoughts?

Jacksonville still being overlooked?

They put 45 up but they fell apart for awhile. I would love a jags vs Vikings SB.

Jax has the best playmakers on defense in their prime of the teams left. They are bigger and faster than everyone else.

So anything can happen when you stockpiled the best athletes on one side of the ball.

There's maybe a 0.5% chance that any of the remaining teams beat the Patriots, and I'm being generous. The downside of that phenomenal play by Diggs is that it won the Patriots another title.

There's already a thread for the game dude

Huh?

I want Jax to beat NE to prevent a media ball washing of Brady and Belichick. Also if they win we are guaranteed to have a team win their first ever SB.

All true about Jax, they clearly have the best young physical team

But I believe that Minnesota, while not quite as physically gifted on defense... are nonetheless the more disciplined unit

They'd be a damn good matchup in the big game

This

I wanted next weekend to be Vikings, Eagles, Titans and Jaguars. I got all but one.

A) The Jags are a tougher matchup on D for NE. Fournette is gonna give the Pats all they want. Still, Bortles but I think the Jags present an interesting challenge for NE.

B)I'm not so sure the Saints would have won next week anyway. Cold as hell and Eagles are very motivated. I expect a nasty, low scoring, one score game in the NFC championship, no matter who would have won today.

If they can get to Brady and run the ball well, JAX will beat NE.

That's easier said than done, though.

I'd like Philly to win just to stick that shit in Andy Reid's face because **** him, he's a loser. Unless Mahomes can break that curse, Reid won't ever win shit here, just like he never won shit in Philly.

Every year it will be the same song n dance. Reid's teams will win 10-12 games in the reg season and then an early playoff exit will shortly follow.

HE SAID THIS IS A STUPID THREAD.

Don’t let DC carry over to sports talk buddy.

Thanks man!

YOU DID

Jags will win because of Hurricane Irma.

Astros won because of Hurricane Harvey.

New England won because of 9/11

Red Sox win same year as the Boston Marathong Bombing

Giants won because of Hurricane Sandy...oh wait

**** the Patriots

LOL

Seemed more like a Jets or Giants kind of year.

All we learned today is the AFC will have the champ. Unless the Jags defense hurts the Pat's it will be them. Keenum or Foles against Bill is a joke and boring.

United We Stand!!!!

Having the Patriots win wasn’t so noticeable, but still had the GREAT story.

No way will Brady and the Pats beat Warner and the Rams

(February 2002)

MAKE THE NFL GREAT AGAIN

fixed

So I can’t talk sports here? Obviously certain people want to let DC bleed over to the lounge. Mods?

Vikes will win

Lock it in

As long as Blake Bortles is playing QB, they deserve to be overlooked.

smith and cutler beat them this year they aren't invincible

Blake Bortles has more playoff wins in the last week than the chiefs franchise in the past 2 decades.

Yeah ?

Goff got a good chance of going all the way does he?

Tim Tebow and TJ Yates have the same amount of playoff wins as the Chiefs do in the past 2 decades.

What's your point?

You do realize I have not supported the Rams since their relocation from St. Louis, correct?

My point is, the Jaguars just beat two teams in the playoffs with blake bortles that we couldnt beat in the regular season. Jags are a good team. Regardless of Bortles. Im not saying they are going to go win in Foxboro, but it isnt out of the realm of possibilities.

We are. And I bet if we took a poll, most would say you are the problem here. Don't be a dick on the Sabbath Hamwallet. Do not be a dick on the Sabbath.

I think they have a great defense to go along with an offense that is being hampered by Blake Bortles' passing abilities.

If Blake Bortles was any other QB who was in the POs, I think they'd have a better chance in Foxboro.

.....

You could always ask the mods to change your username.

If that would have been the Chiefs, Marcus Williams would have made that tackle

Cause Chiefs......

I'm happy for the Vikings. Maybe they can break their own curse this year. Watching that game felt like reliving one of our playoff losses until they got the miracle finish.

I think the Jags have a decent chance. Coughlin always coached against the Pats tough when he was with the Giants and you cannot deny his impact on Jacksonville.

They have the tough physical defense with pass rushers you need to get the job done.

Can they score enough points and control the ball enough? I doubt it.

I like the Vikings against them a little more only because of the home advantage they would have playing in their own stadium and not having to travel.

I think do also. They put 45 on the board in Pittsburgh. That’s no easy task. Next weekend is going to be awesome.

It was kind of a fluky game on both sides of the ball. Unless you think the Jags defense is really that poor. If they play to their regular standards on paper they can make it a tight game against NE, but Bortles is still Bortles. And a Belichick coached defense isn't going to forget that play action passes exist.

It will be a fun game. Jags are stupid fast on D. They also can make some plays and put some points up.

Awesome radio call from today:

Happy for the Vikes fans, they have suffered much like we have.

A.) Their defense sure didn't look impressive today. And the refs will throw a bullshit flag every time they breathe on Brady or look at him funny.

B.) Maybe not, but if they did, they're the one team that could have at least made the Patriots sweat for five minutes before they inevitably win.

Jags D will come to play next week. Pitts offense has more playmakers.


Side note: have you picked a new team to root for, or are you still riding with the chargers.

We'll see how it plays out

The Pats playoff losses have mostly been to defensive teams with a mediocre QB, IE the Broncos, Jets, Ravens, Giants. Their only playoff loss in the Belichick era to an elite QB airing it out on them was that choke job against Manning in 06. The Vikings and Jags actually fit that mold better than the Saints did. So do the Eagles with their pass rush. That young talent on the Saints D was not ready for primetime and limp armed Brees was not going to win a Superbowl without a top defense.

My favorite team for a little over a year now has been "whoever's playing the LA Chargers."

Fair enough. I wish you well on your venture to find a new favorite team.

You'll know what'll happen in the AFC championship game. Belichik will pound the Jaguars by 30. You can't line up in power formations and run the ball against a Belichik defense. They're not talented, but they do have run stoppers all across the front 7. Its unfathomable to me how a team could get to the superbowl so easily year after year. Most years they have 1 legit post-season opponent and always get 6 easy preseason games against the AFC east, so their entire regular season is practice. This year post-season titans and jaguars. GTFO. God I'm so sick of Belichik.

Diggs catch is reminiscent of the Great Otis Taylor catch against the Vikings in Super Bowl IV

Why? Neither of them are in New York, either. 😁

I think they are somewhat lucky....defense is awesome.
Case Keenum? I dont know what to say about him

Love to see Jags/Vikings. They are quite similar teams.

Plus, Fresh Meat!

I just hate SKOL... that's all.

Give me a hell yeah if you wanna see the Vikes and Jags!!!!

HELL YEAH!

Can you imagine Keenum and Bortles as the Super Bowl quarterbacks? The NFL execs's heads would probably explode (I'd love it)!
