The NFL playoffs actually have been good this year
Forums:
Not notably the biggest football fan but I have actually been enjoying watching some good games this year. Last year seemed like every game was pretty terrible but this year is on he contrary. Now, besides what I expect to be a lopsided event in foxboro this weekend the nfc championship game should be closely contested like all the nfc games so far. Should be fun to watch. Whether it’s Vikings/eagles vs patriots in the super bowl that should also be another good game.

Agreed, aside from the Titans-New England blowout, all the divisional playoff games were entertaining football.

The Patriots/Jaguars game may
The Patriots/Jaguars game may or may not be lopsided. While it's hard to look past the Patriots ongoing greatness and the experience they have in games like these, people often overlook the impact that GREAT defense brings in games like these, and the Jaguars have a GREAT defense.
If Bortles can just play decently and not make the disastrous mistake and the Jags play their best on defense they could make that game very interesting.
I think the Vikings will grind the Eagles down and sweep them away. With Foles at QB the Eagles offense is pretty bad and their defense is good but not good enough.
Ultimately I think the Patriots will figure out ways to force Bortles into making one or more of those disastrous mistakes, so we'll probably see a Patriots/Vikings Super Bowl, which should be a good match.
I thought both games yesterday were great NFL playoff games, and both losing quarterbacks played like the future HOFers they are. Both Roethlisberger and Brees threw some unbelievably great passes under intense pressure and players on both sides were making great plays all over the field; it was a shame to see either team lose in both those games.
As a fan I generally root for the fans of a team more than the team itself, and I always hate to see a game lost because of a mistake or blunder, so while I was really happy for Vikings fans and their joy at winning on a last-second miracle play, I was also feeling really bad for Saints fans yesterday. They've suffered through a lot of brutal losses over the years, but that one may be the worst. That's the type of loss a true fan will feel for decades, and take to their graves.
I like the Vikings, they're a classic old-school football team and their fans have suffered many brutal losses themselves, and I also admire Brady and the Patriots because I love to watch true greatness, so if that's the matchup I'll be rooting for a good game that is won, not lost.
It'll be fun to watch next week to see what actually happens.

I agree. But if was the Eagles, that would be a good game too.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to the Patriots/Jaguars next weekend... lifelong Patriots fan here. My new office is in Foxborough. I put some money on the team this year to win over 12 1/2 games which was a winner and had them covering the spread last week. Gonna let it ride.

^ I understand what you're getting at, Felina. This year's team is surely not an all-time great Pats team and we're missing some of our big guns on offense (Edelman, Mitchell). I think it's a bit naive though to say there's no way they will win. There is a way... and it is only two wins away.

Brady hurt his throwing hand
Brady hurt his throwing hand in practice. Or is this just Fake News put out by Vegas/ the Evil Empire? We're Thru the Looking Glass, People . . .
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/32for32xconferencechampinjuries/nfl...
"Tom Brady was limited in practice Wednesday because of a right hand injury, according to the team's participation report. He has been on and off the injury report this season -- for an Achilles and his left shoulder -- but this is the first time he has been on it for his throwing hand. According to a report from the Boston Herald, the injury occurred when one of Brady's teammates accidentally ran into him and jammed his hand. X-rays were taken but revealed no structural damage. Veteran backup Brian Hoyer is the Patriots' only other quarterback"
