    13-14 for most of the 2nd quarter... then... oh well
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    I expected Atlanta to find a way to lose. Good win.

    Seattle would have needed all their starters and to have brought their 'A' game and they had neither. Sherman is no longer an intimidating factor and the rest are spotty. A once awesome defense made a less than stellar offense sufficient but now that the defense is playing slightly better than average, the offense has just looked inept. The best player the Seahawks fielded yesterday was Devon Hester. Atlanta was just too much on both sides of the ball. That receiver corp is as good as I've seen in a while. Matt Ryan looks comfortable in the playoffs spotlight finally. Good looking running game. I'm not surprised Atlanta won at home but I am surprised they dominated the way they did.

    NE didn't exactly bring their A game either but they brought enough. I suspect by the AFC title game they'll be a better team.

    I don't see Atlanta D holding down either the Cowboys or the Pack. The game today is going to be a shootout and I think the NFC title game will be another.

    The Ravens owner said his philosophy wasn't about firing and hiring, when confronted with spears over the current management. The management who didn't give Hester a chance. Dysfunction rules in Baltimore.

    That's what the announcer said. Or is it an over estimate of how good NE is. Ostweiler handed them the game. NE is the favorite, but I put their chances at getting to the super bowl at about 55%.

If Dallas is serious about winning a Super Bowl this year, they cannot have Dak Prescott starting games. I say give him one chance if it doesn't work out, let him know that he's their future and that hopefully he'll have other chances down the road.
    And the Tony Romo watch is on in Dallas!

    I'll fully admit I was wrong in the above post. Green Bay went up two touchdowns in the 2nd quarter, not the 3rd.

    I stand to win a good chunk of change today. Had Green Bay to win with a 2-1 money line, had them in a parlay (thanks New England) and in a teaser (thanks New England) Good times!

    Dallas is done unless Romo comes in. Not that they'll necessarily win if he does, but he gives them their only chance to make this thing competitive. All that can stop the Green Bay slaughter is if the Cowboys coaching comes to their senses and benches Prescott.

    There is no game. This thing is over unless Prescott is benched. He lacks the skills to run the Cowboy offense from multiple touchdowns behind.

    I am so enjoying watching this slaughter, aren't you Geez? I mean, the game is over.

    I don't think it's over. It's a one score game and the Boys are waking up. Yeah, I think that Rodgers will find some way to win, regardless of who's playing qb for Dallas, but I don't know that yet.

    It appears from the promo that Skip Bayless has been backing the Cowboys hard. That may be more than any team can reasonably be expected to overcome.

    The fact that right now I'm really feeling shitty is definitely mitigated by my laughter at how wrong all you Dak doubters were.

    It doesn't matter who wins the game, the bottom line is, Tony who?

    We will now see just exactly how transcendent of mere mortal football A-Rod is.
