Worth it.

I don't really mind the Chiefs but if I hear the phrase threepeat one more time, I think I'm going to smash something.

I'm [nominally] a Bengals fan but as we're not in it, would quite like the Ravens to go all the way; Jackson has had an incredible season with real development would be good to see him get something from it.

Two fabulous games last night, one QB continuing to defy physics and another imploding.

Went to bed at halftime and it was 31-21 Washington. Woke up hoping they’d managed to turn it around (reader: they did not), gutted for them, you can blame injuries and losing three more db’s during the game didn’t help, but goff threw some interceptions when he shouldn’t have and Washington kept scoring points forcing Detroit to chase the game.
Sad way for this season to end, but hoping when the smoke clears in the off season and with all the players on the defensive side they lost to injury back, and being able to get some pressure on the quarterback without blitzing (Daniels had so much time in the highlights) and possibly co-ordinators back (but I’m assuming they’ll have to replace Aaron Glenn and ben Johnson) they can make another run at it.
I’ll be avoiding podcasts and articles until the conference championship previews. Hoping either the bills or the ravens win the whole thing now..

When Aikman calls out the refereeing then you know it was bad. Probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but it would have been closer. The very uncharacteristic Special Teams performance was odd.

Interior O-Line has been a mess all season and our thin receiver group was exposed; we never should have let Noah Brown go, glad he's had a year for the WFT. Still need interior D-line pressure too. Not too too much to address in the off season.

Fuck you KC (and your overrated, too sweet BBQ) and we'll see you next year.

It really went how I thought it was mostly likely to go but in reverse - I thought we’d hang punch for punch for the most part, but be constantly chasing a score or two based on difference in quality between the teams. 2nd Q really blew that out the water.
Really difficult not to feel like as though we have a chance at beating anybody now. Think I’d still prefer to face the Rams in the championship game, but we beat Philly not many weeks ago so shrug.

Gonna try and power through for Buffalo Baltimore tonight.

Preach.

Ben solak on why he thinks Aaron Glenn will be a good HC with the J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS!
