Who's watching today?

I have a bet with DH that it's gonna be cheifs and 49ers going to the Superbowl.

I love the NFL playoffs- so much exciting entertainment!

Any other fans?

Me!! I love football! I also love non-Patriots football - I'm a Jet fan Banging head

I'd put my bets on the 49ers and the Chiefs because those are the safe bets, but I really think the Chiefs might be in trouble. Their defense can't stop the run and Derrick Henry has been a beast. That's how the Titans have been winning - if you can run the ball and keep the clock moving, you shorten the game and don't give the other team that many drives.

The only way the Chiefs win is if Mahomes pulls off several chunk plays for TDs, so that the Chiefs maximize their drives instead of taking a long time.

Well, I guess I was wrong. The Chiefs won with only one really big chunk play to Watkins. That TD run by Mahomes was amazing!

I was rooting for the Chiefs and Packers, but I was pretty sure SF was going to with the NFC game. Aaron Rodgers is just not the same guy. Age and injuries have taken their toll - he looks like he's limping all the time and he can't put as much of his body into his throws as he used to (although he's always been able to sling it off his back foot). It's a shame that the game was a laugher, though.

Let's go Mahomes, take it all the way!

Yeah the NFC game was ridiculous although GB did pick up a bit at the end. Their defense doesn't really seem that great; they let SF score nearly every possession!

I'm for KC to the Supebowl! Go Mahomes and the Chiefs; he is really sick, the up and coming Tom Brady!

So why are you all anon? What's such a secret about liking football?

I'm going to go with KC for the win in the Super Bowl.

Everyone IRL knows that I'm a sports fan. It's unusual in my circles and would give me away in a second.

WHAT?!?! You miss those cheating NFL-wreckers?! We're well and truly rid of them!!

LOL

Seriously, though, I'm so glad the reign of Patriots domination seems to be over. It really looked like it wouldn't end, as recently as the middle of the season when the Patriots were 8-0.

Now maybe, just maybe my darling Giants will pick up next season. Although they forfeited first overall pick. Maybe Joe Judge can work some magic.

What team are you a fan of?

Jets are my number one team, but I'm a Giant fan, too.

My grandfather is a Jet fan and my father is a Giant fan. My grandfather got to me first, but since my Jets have been so bad for so long, I figured I needed to take up another team. Smile

(I was nine years old when this happened, don't shoot me!) And look, I got two Super Bowl victories out of it!

Joe Judge can't make apple pie out of stale apples. Both NY teams have yet to learn that the NFL is won between the trenches, on the offensive and defensive lines. Good pass protection and pass rush. Darnold and Jones won't go anywhere if they're not protected!

See what Deshaun Watson did this year with Laremy Tunsil as his LT? See what the Titans accomplished this year? That's offensive line for you.

I was quite disappointed in yesterday’s games.
For the 4 best teams of the season, I expected some more drama, better plays, and better defenses.
Meh, just the food we ordered was interesting 😀

Watching Patrick Mahomes play is a pure pleasure.

He's sick!!! That TD yesterday was "out of this world!"

But yeah, I did think there would be more drama and closer scoring. 35-24 and 37-20 is pretty boring.

Hope the Superbowl is more exciting.
