Yeah, I do feel for the people of St Louis but at least the Rams were an LA team (I know Cleveland but we all kinda associate the Rams with LA mainly) I sincerely hope the Chargers don't get moved. They've been there for nearly 60 years, that'd really be a pity. Especially since Oakland also has an LA history and no need for 2 teams in the bay area.
On a somber note, Lawrence Phillips was found dead today in a suspected suicide. Before my time but was always an intriguing and sad story. One of the greatest college backs, so much potential but wasted because he basically could never escape his past...landed him in jail and facing the death penalty, and apparently took the matter into his own hands.
The Minn loss is 100% on Adrian Peterson....the D played great, B'water held serve by not franking up, receivers came thru in the clutch....only Peterson - the guy who basically carried them to the NFC North title - didn't show. He even sat during the second-to-last drive....imagine that, your best player by far sitting during the most crucial drive of the season. His not being able to muster 10 yards on the final drive led to them settling for the field goal. His runs lacked creativity and he was often thrown for losses when he tried to create....or else he fumbled when he tried for an extra yard or two. Yeah, the final kick sucked (and that kid should immediately be cut - those misses haunt kickers for the rest of their career....and his percentage on game winners had been so bad that I don't think he lands anywhere but in Canada or bartending at your local), but look no further than AP if you want the scoop on why the Vikes came up short.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
Pathetic win by the Seahawks.......deserve to lose especially with Lynch a no show, not even supporting his team by traveling to Minn. Sorry, professional athlete getting paid millions $$ should be with his team.
Oh well, at least I won't have to hear all the whining krapp at work tomorrow.
One thing which was not pathetic.......the Hawks D held the leading rusher in the NFL to 45 yards on 23 carries.The Hawks are playing solid defense. The offense stuttered in the cold, not surprising since their run game is down now. Dogging Marshawn for not going, you must have the inside scoop on that. Tough on a Saints fan in Seattle. Deserve to lose, right because Minnesota played such good football.

Welcome back the LA Rams.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.
Exactly, though how often does a top kicker miss a 27 yarder? Seattle isn't the threat they have been, and ironic that after Graham goes down is when Wilson explodes and turns the team into a passing oriented one! I just don't know though, I can see Seattle getting by Carolina because frankly I still don't believe in them...pathetic schedule and enough questionable games against the lowly Saints and Giants (showing a hidden poor defense)
But hey, ugly as it was...how about dem Steelers? Yikes. Now that was an ugly game! With the steelers coach and player getting tangled up, the Shazier hit (sorry, runner or not how was that not a spearing? Or what about the helmet to helmet hits the NFL tried so hard to snuff out??) and that finale...wow.
First, if you let that one hit go, how can you flag the Burfict one? Then the ensuing mess after that? Just wow, and I hate to call em the Bungles, but they really did bungle that one.
Then the other games...proving the AFC South and NFC East have no business being in the playoffs

Man the Steelers sure do have the knack for dramatics sometimes...we deserved to lose, but whew!... we'll take it. Hope Ben comes back or we are doomed. Can you imagine if Dalton had been the QB, he would be blamed for never winning the big one, now at least you can blame the team culture, implosion or the like.
Texans looked awful....
-4 degrees at Vikings/Hawks kickoff....fun stuff! Grab a brew and kickback

To be honest no-one in the AFC impresses me that much, they are all flawed, pretty much any of them could make it.
You nailed it right on the head.
I think the Chiefs will beat the Patriots. Most will consider it an upset, but it's not. The Chiefs are a better team right now. As far as the Pittsburgh/Denver game, I think it will depend on the health of Ben and Antonio.
I'm a Steelers fan by the way, so while I'm happy that they won yesterday, I'm not thrilled that they blew a fifteen point lead. They can't play like this next weekend.

I can't remember going through such a range of emotions watching a game. I had my thumb on the off button of my remote as they were on fourth down of that final drive just because I was so frustrated they gave up the lead only to be jumping up and down for probably a minute when they hit the field goal. It was hard to get to sleep last night, I was a little pumped.
I think they have a good shot against Denver if Ben is playing if he's not we'll have to rely on Manning being Manning(he has not been good despite coming in that last game to win it).

Oh Cincy...you ass. Have the game and blow it three times in two plays. Sigh...
