I'm pulling for Sam. Getting rid of Maccagnan burned us bigtime since he would have almost certainly kept Sam.
the wild card games were great but these match-ups are awful - I hope Sam can win one but other than that I have very little interest in the eventual outcome
Come on guys. Superbowl is more for the general crowd then football lovers. AFC and NFC Champ games are the final football games where football aspect is more important. I hate the Pats and I dislike Sean Payton and Broncos but I will still watch. Seahawks-Rams is a great division rivalry and Seahawks fans always bring it and make it a fun football environment. Besides we have our good old friend Sam to watch. Brook out
Agreed on the first statement. But the Pats-Broncos game not having Bo Nix just really destroys the appeal of the game.
Agreed. I'll tune in for the Seahawks game and then again for the Super Bowl if the Seahawks advance, but other than that, I'm pretty much done with the 2025 NFL season. I don't think it's possible to have less interest in the Denver/New England game.
Seattle vs the Rams is going to be a barn burner of a game. Home field for the Hawks in one of the toughest places to play, with that defense. On the other side, MVP quarterback and one of the best of not THE best coach in the game. Results this year bear that out. The other one... Yeah. Although I think Denver has a heck of a defense and a massive chip on their shoulder now that everybody just looks at them and sneers "Jarrett Stidham". So let's see
I have a feeling this is not going to go the way of the Pats as easily as people think. Broncos defense must be pissed with how suddenly everybody just gave up on them. They can still sack Maye seven times and get a few turnovers. I think they are as good as Houston, and Stidham just had to avoid throwing four interceptions in a half for this to be a game. Meanwhile I think the Pats really have no pass rush at this level. Last two weeks their opponents have both been missing multiple starting o linemen. Easy to beat up on backups. Denver o line is at full strength and one of the best in the league
