Might have to watch the last quarter again. What a game.

Well , they will not be popular in Vegas from here on out . They did not kick the extra point after that last touchdown ( took a knee ) , which means they failed to cover the 5 1/2 point spread . Had they kicked it they won by 6 .Originally Posted by Danke
I think I should send Vikings DE Brian Robison a beer . He was on the team for the 2009 OT loss to the saints in the NFC Championship game . Vikings would have won that Superbowl easily as the saints did .
The last quarter was horrible , but I did re watch the last series about three times last night . That would be my suggestion . 21 points beats the Eagles and sends us to the Superbowl , homegame .

What amazes me about Brady is the pocket will be collapsing all around him, but somehow, with no room, his arm magically comes vertically up out of a pile of people and the ball launches out to the receiver.
Yeah, he was hitting his marks. He won't be able to do that forever, though.

Here is my irrelevant, barely-related to the playoffs story:
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the Titans were new, we had a membership to the fitness area at the Music City Sheraton. I was in the gym one morning and a bunch of really beefy men came into the gym and pressed the rack. It is a very small area, so we were just chatting general work out kinds of things. One of the men had on a Penn State shirt, and I mentioned we were fans of Joe Paterno (this was before the scandal). Dude smiled and asked if I was also a Titans fan. Not so much, I said. Dude smiled bigger and thanked me. When I got home and looked at the newspaper, I realized I had just worked out with some of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were in town to play the Tennessee Titans.
The Sheraton, incidentally, is where Al Gore stayed when he came to town. I think Old Miss stays there. It's not far from my home, and I got stopped by their buses and police escort by Jack-in-the-Box one day.
Blah, blah, blah. I'll shut up now. My stories are not nearly so good as oyarde's.

Vikings open as three point favorites in NFC Championship game . I think 21 or better points gets the Vikings the win , Eagles been averaging 13 points scored per game past three , Vikings defense gives up about 17 avg for the season. Eagles have a very good defense but I doubt they can put 24 on the Vikings and I doubt the Eagles can hold them under 17. Vikings should have this . Go Vikings !
Brady injured? The Patriots don't usually like to discuss injuries but word is that Brady was limited in practice this week due to a possible injury to his right (throwing) hand.

X Rays negative is the rumor , I doubt he will practice too much rest of week . Probably have that hand in a whirlpool .
Anyone think the Jags cover the spread ? New England 8 point favorites . Local guy at a radio station here took the Jags to cover , but he got 9 . He also took the Vikings .
Jags 7 pats 3 , Jags ball , thirteen minutes to half
Another typical Patriots drive to end the half. Trailing 14-3 with under two minutes left. Brady had only thrown for 89 yards. Pats had the ball less than ten minutes vs 18 for the Jags and just four first downs. Ball at their own 15 yard line. Complete a few passes, get a favorable penalty (pass interference- tracking the game online so can't say if it was legit or questionable) and they get a touchdown. 14- 10 at the half. Brady now 12- 17 for 125 yards.

Pretty good first half for the Jags , Bortles 13 of 15 for 155 and a TD and 60 yards rushing for the backs . It is what they need to do .Brady sacked twice and no running game for pats . Probably take at least 28 for Jags to squeak one out .....
We don't like Brady. We are for Jacksonville, my workout buddies from way back.

Jags need a TD drive here and put the pressure on , make it 27 - 10 .
They got the ball back after a fumble but to three and out. Now Patriots charging down the field. Another 4th quarter comeback?
Scored. 20- 17 with almost nine minutes left.
Jags ball , up 3 points , six minutes . They need a TD to take this .
Doesn't look like they can get another TD. Punting again- from deep in their own end. Patriots ball on the Jags 30 yard line down by just three and five minutes.
Jag's last touchdown was midway in the second quarter. Two field goals since.
One thing for certain here . If Vikings can win in Philly they can win Superbowl .
Amazing when jags get called for PI for almost nothing, then pats have the same exact contact before the pass and no call LUL
Pats get the lead 24- 20. Three minutes remaining. Now Jacksonville HAS to get a touchdown if they hope to win.

Basically over. Turned over on downs to the Pats at the NE43 with 1:40 left.
It is finished.

50 degrees in Philly tonight .
Disgusting...
If it ends up an Eagles-Patriots Superbow, I'll be catching up on my reading.
"Jaguars had the popular vote." Hillary Clinton
Jags cover the spread as expected .
Crush the Eagles, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women, hipsters, and goombas
In a good omen for the Vikings , the kicker hits the XP on the opening drive touchdown . 9 plays , 75 yards in 4:46 . Vikings 7 brother love city 0
