it played a part but it wasn't the deciding factor. green bay is damn good football team and I dont think our defense faced a quarterback/offense that hot all season really, other than Pittsburgh which we also lost

I don't think it should be too surprising that the giants didnt have much depth. remember their defense last year? it was awful. They added some nice FA pickups but it still didnt change the fact that they had no one behind those guys to begin with.

I agree with Clutz though. there were some times where the Giants pass rush looked like they werent even trying. one play Bulaga just kept pushing his man back with 2 hands and the defender didnt even try to do anything to get by him. just kept running straight into him. no change of direction, no spin. this was in the first half so its not like he was half assing it with the game out of reach. idk they just looked off

Matt Ryan's only playoff win came against Seattle. I can only hope their game next week can be as close to as exciting. probably most exciting nfl game I've attended.

bought tickets on the chance that the RG3 rookie year Redskins could beat Seattle and come down and play in the GA Dome near where I live. they lost but I still went and it was worth it

I mean it was almost a total throw by atlanta (were up 20-0 at half) but the 4th quarter was crazy

For as long as I've been watching, the Pats have had Pitt's number but have more issues with the Ravens. Steelers have the advantage over the Ravens for most of it though.

Jags are apparently just going to promote Doug Marrone to HC

Coughlin to VP of football ops for Jags too. Interesting choices

yeah and apparently caldwell will report to him so he'll probably get the final say on personnel and the draft.

Really hoping tonight's game isn't a letdown.

not a fan of the marrone hire for the jags, apparently he was undermining bradley during his tenure and he wasn't all that impressive in buffalo.
coughlin in an exec position is nice but i'm not sure how much he'll be able to change the culture of the team.

I think bama is a better team than last year and clemson isn't quite as good. Expect bama to win by more than last year but obviously would be happy with a close game either way

I feel like Alabama should just run it 80% of the time.

They really should. Hurts has been average at best passing most of the year. They have a beastly o line and multiple amazing rbs. Plus hurts can run well too.

Clemson isn't going anywhere. Alabama should really just run it all over Clemson. Doesn't feel fair.

It's been pretty clear for most of this season that it was a year of Alabama on 1 tier and everyone else below them. And they're bringing in another #1 ranked class with the top RB
