Re: 2025 Conference Championships

Hope the weather's still okay for you, Brian! Yes, Denver should have kicked that FG early on to make it 10-0. But that's just one play. So many plays add up throughout and Denver just didn't play well enough, came up just short, in the very bitter end. I do wish they would have won but the, now, 16...

Re: 2025 Conference Championships

I am snowed-iced in, near Nashville, TN so hoping during the three-hour game games, can comment and interact with others on this thread during the broadcasts? Nice and cold in Denver with scattered snow and a high of 25 degrees. Cloudy into the mid-30s later in Seattle. Championship football outsid...

Re: Who was better: Bill Cowher or Mike Tomlin?

The last 'breath', to me, of Tomlin's Steelers at least offering some hope of a SB-run was 2017 (11-0 start in 2020 debatable though, at the time, I didn't mistaken us for being '#1'; real solid but not...'the best'). In '17 they finished 2nd-seed at 13-3, "should have" beaten the Pats lat...

Re: 2025 Conference Championships

Whether Denver gets eliminated anyway, albeit today or two weeks from now, I really wish Nix would still be in it; for his health first-and-foremost, but just so we can see all teams with no significant handicaps. Will either of the other three teams winning-it-all be seen as..."tainted"? ...

Re: If strictly division-winners made playoffs, '69-present

2007 would have been ... AFC: Pit@NE, SD@Ind; NFC: TB@Dal, Sea@GB IMO, the only two teams who could have knocked off the undefeated Pats is the team who actually did beat them IRL and the other team with a Manning at QB. Assuming that SD still upsets the Colts - both playing each other one week earl...

Rams/Seahawks history

This coming NFCCG contest will be the third time both met in the playoffs. The two other times were in the 1st-Rd, each won by the Rams and each in the Emerald City; 2004 & 2020. 'Hawks lead the series, 29-28, with five OT games between them of course including their very last meeting. Both were...

Patriots/Broncos history

A since-1960 history between both. Charter-members together, both, of the AFL. Broncos lead the series thus far, 31-24. Yes, no ties ever, but three OT games - all within six seasons (2009-thru-2015). Five other times they met in the post-season going into this upcoming AFCCG showdown. The first thr...

Re: Who was better: Bill Cowher or Mike Tomlin?

In '92, if you all remember, it was Joe Greene at first who was expected to take over for Noll; his obvious legendary status with the franchise along with he also being an assistant. But then they picked Cowher instead who I never heard of. I should have heard of him. I was following the game more-t...

Re: 2025 Divisional Round Weekend

For 74_75_78_79 ... I did speculate about McDermott possibly losing his job on the wild card thread if the Jags beat the Bills convincingly; especially with John Harbaugh out there as a potential successor, but with the Bills fighting the Jags and Broncos down to the wire, its doubtful his job will...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread

What if...da Bears LOSE Super Bowl XX to the Patriots?? Tomorrow's National Champiosnship Game inspires this thread in that, I think, if Indiana loses, it'll seem like such an event. As far as legacy is concerned, how would you look back on it all had that 17-1 Juggernaut going in would, actually, H...
