    Time for the Jarrett Stidham dynasty.

    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

    I don’t disagree but it also becomes a double edged sword for the SB. I don’t think Denver will be competitive if they win against the Seahawks or Rams. And I have no interest in watching the fucking Pats in the SB.

    So either way we probably get a miserable SB whether it’s a bad game or the Pats in it lol.

    Time for Stidham to get on the phone with Jeff Hostetler and Nick Foles

    I'm hoping for Denver vs Seattle, with Darnold choking just enough for this to be a close, hard-fought game into the fourth. Best we can hope for.

    I think the Rams will roll Denver.

    Darnold is hurt too. Dont see the Rams losing. They hoist the SB trophy after being the Patriots. Pats will have had the easiest road to the SB I've ever seen in my life.

    *maybe the 91 bills was easier. Beat Mark Vlasic in the divisional round and in the AFC Championship John Elway got hurt so they got to barely skate by Gary Kubiak. They were blown out in the SB

    You have got to be kidding me about Darnold. I didn't know until I just looked it up.

    Which miracle-working voodoo-doll-poking tarot-card-reading incense-burning bunny-sacrificing witch doctor did Kraft hire? Two years of Jetsian suffering, then they luck into a franchise QB (again), hire an elite HC (again), and win (again). And this year, literally every single team that they play has minimum two critical injuries just before the game. This Bo Nix injury is the most amazing - the guy plays the entire game and eliminates your biggest competition, then breaks his ankle on a nothing play as soon as it doesn't matter any more. At this rate, even if the Rams beat the Hawks, Stafford, Puka Nacua and Sean McVay will bang heads with each other in the postgame celebration and all three will get concussed and be out for the Super Bowl.

    I think the Jets are just Kraft's Dorian Gray picture. He gets all the winning and his fans get all the fun, and all his bad karma and luck and losing just keeps accumulating with us.

    Stafford is the best QB left standing, I think the Rams have the best shot to win it all.
