Hopefully there is a good movie to go see in two weeks.

I hear ya. . It would have been quite the Cinderella story to see the Vikes playing the SB here in Minneapolis but alas.

That Foles game was such a fluke. Major bummer the Vikes put up an egg. I have no doubt the Eagles D will play their hearts out, but I have 0 confidence in Foles.

I've got a lot of family ties to MN so I was hoping but.... Ugh.

As they should, my guess is at + 2.5

I have them at 8-1 before today to win th super bowl, so i have a horse in the race

2.5.

and the experts said that Pats defense was one of the best..still can’t stop the run. Steelers lost but they stopped the run

The Steelers gave up 109 rushing yards and 3 TDs to an injured Fournette. The Jags as a team rushed for over 160 yards and 4 TDs on the Steelers D. I don't consider that stopping the run. The Steelers D was slapped around by the Jags running game and screen passes to the RBs all day long. But hey, after all that, at least the Steelers fixed their problems by firing the OC that helped them put 42 points on the score board. I'm sure that'll fix all of their defensive shortcomings.

So much for the Jags D holding up or Bortles making a play when it mattered the most. Now Bill and TB12 have 2 weeks to get ready for the Eagles. Damn how I wish Brees and the Saints made it to the SB. At least it would've been fun watching 2 HOF QBs go at it.

This is the worst matchup for NY fans.

Ha, I was already invited to a SB party and told them that I'll probably go to the movies instead. This will be the first SB since I started watching as a kid in 1988 that I choose not to watch. It's just not interesting anymore.

As a packer fan, it was therapeutic to see the Vikings get smacked around last night.

Good read if you’re bored and have the time.

Chiefs have agreed to trade Alex Smith to Washington. Guess Kirk Cousins is as good as gone.

 

[Darth Madden]

Very interesting... I think I'd rather have Cousins than Smith but I think Kirk's money is way too much for them.

 

[ekcmarco]

There were some rumblings (not sure if they were true or not) that Cousins didn't want to be in Washington anymore, so the Redskins needed to do something. The Chiefs needed cap space and got it. AND they got a good CB on top if it's true that Kendall Fuller is part of the deal. 3rd round pick, 22 year old CB, and salary cap room for a guy you were planning on getting rid of, Chiefs made out like bandits with this trade.

 

[BurningRage]

Jets should go for Cousins.

 

[Darth Madden]

Saw somebody mention Cleveland. If they could land him they can pass on a QB at 1 and 4 and take Chubb and the Penn St RB (I’m drawing a blank on his name) or trade one of those picks to a QB desperate team and get another load of picks. I'll take Kirk over every QB in this draft.

 

[guyver1]

Smith better get used to a mediocre defense in Washington..man does he have to carry Washington

Hopefully Skins know this, and get some defense in the off season either FA or draft picks. Smith can’t rely on the defense to help him out now.

Barkley....yea Cle would be better off with Cousins, Barkley whoever is available on defensive side then start building the O Line

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Good luck with Barkley. If he plays a good run defense, he shuts down
