Anyway, I like your spirit, Slim.

Steelers over the Saints in the SB?? Damn... I'd LOVE to see that. Steelers are my favorite team... but they still look like an 11-3 first playoff round loss team to me right now. It's unfortunate... but they seem to have fallen off the cliff.

Your Packers are pretty damn good. As long as they still have Rodgers at QB... they always have a chance. Some are picking them to represent the NFC in the SB. I wouldn't bet against them.

Nothing personal against KC... but I'd love to have someone knock them off this year. There are two fan darlings this year (read "perennial losers") who are making a great account of themselves: the Browns and the Bills.

Either one of them making it to the AFC Championship Game would be a feat.

Tampa Bay I'd love to see make a deep run into the playoffs, because I'm a Tom Brady fan and that would totally cement his GOAT status.

Good to see a fellow NFL fan, especially at this time of year.
NFL was my 1st sport as a kid- it got overshadowed by NBA. At the time Milwaukee Bucks were always a team in contention late 70s. & the NFL Packers sucked big time. Dan Makowski or something...So my knowledge of Steelers is ancient man!! I still replay the Steelers Cowboys 35-31 SB in my head, days of Bradshaw & Staubach.

To this day Lyn Swan is still my favorite WR. IMO he was the one that started the catch-the ball, with a toe, slightly inbound- play! Franco Harris was the 1st back I remember hearing on a regular basis. Although it would be Toney Dorsett & then Emmit Smith I considered my favorite runners.

I was old enough to remember how their defense became known as the Steele Curtain Joe Green L.C. Greenwood...I 4got the other names LOL! I think I faded from NFL around the time Curtain & Bradshaw best days were gone 1981ish. I'll watch a few games but havent watched an entire season in decades. Boxing, music & Vagina became a bit more important from age 17-40s

If I understood the tv guys correctly then the NFL doesn't use the draft lottery like the NHL does. Many people don't like that here in the great warming north but I think it should be mandatory for these leagues... It just seems such a bad idea to definitively reward finishing last, although I am also sceptical if there is anyone who does actually try to lose, all these playing staff gits are playing or coaching for their careers but still.. I'm all for the draft lottery, it can also lead to hilarious situations like Buffalo tanking and then Edmonton getting macdavid...

Brady's great and all and good for him I certainly wouldn't mind him winning again but I'm hoping someone else wins it this time, Brady has had his time but if he does win, we'll all we can do is say hats off Brady... And maybe take off any hats we have..
I've seen a few games where it seemed like they were trying to lose that last game or 2 (by taking players out) I'm like why? If they get hurt on a play, it won't matter, they'll suck with or without an injury.
