What a FUKKING good day of football yesterday!!!!!


Three close, competitive games of football with all kinds of drama, turning points... the whole works.

It's too damn bad that COVID has made it necessary to play without the crowds. I imagine those stadiums would've gone insanely NUTS yesterday.

But I'm grateful the NFL found a way around the pandemic to play the whole season and now be in the playoffs. As a diehard fan... I'm eternally grateful.



Not only was the quality of the football excellent yesterday..... but the teams I wanted to win..... WON!!

Sorry for any Colts, Seahawks, or WTF fans. But no need to hang your head. All losing teams played admirably. They were just outplayed by hungrier opponents.

Thrilled to DEATH that Brady and the Bucs moved on. Major hats off to Alex Smith's QB backup. That guy should be a starter somewhere. Don't remember how to spell his name... but it's extremely close to Heineken.

The Bills deserved to win, and end that humongous drought of playoff game wins. I was moved by a shot of a Bills fan crying with joy in the stands (the Bills DID let it a few thousand, scattered fans).

The Seahawks... well... sometimes I'm turned off by Russell Wilson's smugness. So I didn't really mind all the sacks and knockdowns he took from that SCARY Rams defense.


If today turns out halfway as good as yesterday was..... I'll be a happy man.

I bet the colts are kicking themselves. all those yards....and that missed FG, man...they clawed back 2 tds 4th quarter...made it exciting. But a 27-24 loss, that FG is gonna get replayed in a lot of mind movies over the nest few weeks(bad dreams) for the Colts...it happens.

Damn. Total momentum shift from the Titans to the Ravens.

Can't stand the Ravens.

The kicker will be demonized in Indiana until he goes crazy and kidnaps little sebastian or whoever the colts mascot is... Hopefully we can rely on a good pet detective to save him

Lovely catch from the Chicago bears guy with the last play of the game, they still lost by 12 but a nice a way to lose as it gets maybe :S.... New Orleans maybe would have liked to have had a wider win but after the tight first half they pulled away pretty good...

What's next cleavage browns v Pittsburgh....

Mon the browns I guess... Woof woof woof... Or whatever they do

That was definitely a little shaky for the Saints. Brees says it's his last year and Taysom Hill has proven to be a great multi tasker but unreliable in the pocket. Going to be an all out scrap v the Bucs and Brady next out.

We'll be on opposite sides on this one, bro.

It'll be historic, though.

Gotta be the first playoff game with a combined age of 84 going on 85 in a few days.
