If Drew Brees would have come out of retirement, the Saints would be in the playoffs for sure.
I sweated mine out. Must be @tebowlives' turn.

Vikings end on a good note . Defense two Picks , half a dozen passes defended , 7 sacks. Seems weve developed another number four wide reciever in Smith - Marsette long term , Cousins looked a little better than his previous two even though he missed last week which cost us a playoff spot. Chicago rolled out the only real QB they have . No avail , Viking defense gave up one TD and scored one TD.

Yep , in fact the Jags are 2 - 3 adainst the Colts while going 2 - 27 against the rest of the league. Colts shouldve locked up last week at home . They've been a huge dissapointment the past two weeks .

They fired their coach. The defense was horrible the last few years. 9th most penalties for the 4th most yards this year. That's coaching. If their defense was average, they'd be in contention for a title.
Awesome offense. Two very good running backs in Mattison and Cook. Thielen and Jefferson are among the best 1-2 Wide receiver punch. Osborn, although young, is one of the better 3rd wide receivers. Conklin is a steady tight end. I think it's a little too early to comment on Hypen-Marmoset

Vikings dump coach and GM. I could probably get behind that except for two reasons . 1) Going to be difficult to get a better GM ( and coach but I'm hopeful ) 2) Way too expensive since they were recently given contract extensions that were too long. We get a pick around 15 I think .Bears will be playing a practically rookie QB with a new cioaching staff, Lions will be the Lions and once Rogers wins the NFC he wont be back so the division would be there for the taking next season with no Viking changes. Why would the be willing to gamble that away with the offensive talent they have to risk a new coaching staff ?

yep, it's a horrible franchise. They have a good young QB. Their run game is good but Mixon turns 29 next year. The backup RB, Perrine, has resurrected his career since he joined Cincy. So that helps. Chase and Higgins are good young receivers and they stomped the Raiders earlier in the season. I think they'll get a win in this round.
Man, Chargers-Raiders. Unbelievable scenario. I had to follow on the internet. I bet they never admit it, but I wonder how much the Raiders discussed just taking a knee. A few Steelers' fans prolly had a stroke. lol

Colts under performace I'd have to say as bad as Vikings ( and against lesser competition)but like the Vikings there are long contracts involved and no real sign of getting anything better.

I'll go ahead and highlight the obvious missed pick. I just don't understand the need to be publicly humiliated and scorned.
That was an insane game. Chargers converted on how many forth downs in a row? (Albeit with some help by bad calls and non-calls by the officials.)
The Raiders did think about taking a knee. And it probably would have happened if the Chargers hadn't taken a time out.
Would the Raiders rather play Cincinnati or KC? That may have entered their minds too.

Potentially a lot riding on that game. Made it less likely Jim Harbaugh will go to the NFL. Seems likely they keep the interim coach now.

On this very day in 1975, The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IX, 16-6. Five turnovers and a run game that produced 17 yards on 21 carries led to the Vikings embarrassing defeat in yet another Super Bowl where they came up short.

I watched that game. Pittsburgh had such a monster defense.

They did everything. Stuffed the run and forced fumbles. Sacked the passer, intercepted passes, and had a very low completion percentage against.
10 of the 11 starters on that defense made Pro Bowl at least one time in their career. Hall of Famer Donnie Shell was in his 2nd year and not starting. Dave Brown who ended up intercepting 62 passes, tied for 10th most lifetime, and returning 5 for TDs mainly with Seattle was on Pittsburghs bench that year.
Heartbreaking of course for me , still though ,without the Foreman fumble ( at steeler 5) , the blocked punt for a safety and our missed XP and FG we still win with 17 and get away with the three interceptions and a fumbled kickkoff return. Those four plays defined the game for the Vikings . Four bad plays they couldve overcome , eight was too many .

At least we know for a fact you're not a front runner since your team is never in front of a Lombardi Trophy. Well, gotta go now. Hard to type with the 5 Super Bowl rings I'm wearing.
Three years later we would have beaten that defense but Randy White and Jackie Smith threw the game.
