Pats

I see atlanta playing us in the SB right now.

Same old story dalals haha

So who should win pin in for the superbowl, I think dallas makes it if they win and atlanta makes it if green bay win.

Since I don't follow NHL closely, could you elaborate?

The NHL is the hardest sport out of any sport to pick a winner come playoffs time, parity is the norm.

Be like watching the Harry Potter movies after reading the books lol

Haha I did that too up until the 4th one. Back in the 90s though we had to wait like 8 years for the english dub for DBZ.

Honestly if this turns into a blowout, I might start working on a mock draft. How ironic is it that with the talk of Vince Wilfork retiring after whenever the Texans lose, his career could end at the hands of the Patriots.

Honestly i'm not even watching the game just having the live scores update in it. If you have stuff that needs to be done that's better time spent.

Dragon Ball Super came on at 8 but it's about to be over so your stuck watching this game. 

Patriots taking it easy on the Texans so far. Guess they don't want to embarrass them too bad on National TV.

I saw the japanese episodes of it already, they took way too long to come out with the english dub. They are on like episode 76 over there.

Good news for the A's if the Raiders move is that they will probably get a new stadium. I am sure they aren't happy with the current stadium either though

Yeah I like the A's much more so thats good but I do have a soft spot for the raiders.

It would be nice if Oakland got a good stadium proposal out there like St. Louis did at least. I don't think the Raiders have much of a choice with their current stadium

Well my oakland A's share the stadium atm with them and they don't like it either. But that's no reason to relocate just because of a stadium.

I wouldn't mind a place like Oklahoma City or Portland getting a shot. Both seem to do well with their NBA franchises. I think Vegas has made a nice case for themselves though so I think they should get the Raiders. As for LA getting the Raiders, I think one of the big reasons they aren't going there is the gang concerns. I know it goes so far that some schools in the LA area ban sportswear. Plus it doesn't sound like the current Rams owner wants Raider fans streaming through his new stadium. 

Man america is crazy when it comes to what motivates gangs. I think they should just stay in oakland really. I think portland would be a good spot for the chargers. Oklahoma or san antonio possibly too.

Yeah always seemed like a neutral field when we played in San Diego, can't say I sympathize too much with a fan base that doesn't show up to their own games

I agree, I just think if you are gonna move to another city then it should be them in vegas and not the raiders.

I think the weather plays a big role in these teams struggling with fans. Why pay attention to a franchise like the Chargers with weather like they have and beaches right there. Always seemed to be a neutral field when the Ravens played there and I don't see that improving in LA

I suppose but why not do both? It's not like you cant have the beach and see a football game 8 times a year. I think cali besides oakland has crummy fans.

Yeah so now St. Louis and San Diego have fell victim to the NFL's love for LA. Honestly I don't think 2 teams in LA will work. I think the Chargers will end up moving out of LA and this will be a total failure.

Well 1 team doesn't even work. Also san diego has always had poor home team support they should have done something about that ages ago instead of just relocating.

Eww, LA doesn't have a good fanbase for the rams, now the chargers are joining them. Well at least when they merge they can become a 8-8 team

Twitter is having fun with it

I missed the games by oversleeping, looks like they both sucked like yesterdays games though.

Atlanta was my NFC pick for the Super Bowl regardless. I have Dallas losing in the divisional round.

Yeah I could see dallas being bundled out in the divisionals too. Atlanta actually lucked out with the 2 seed getting the easier matchup in the divs.

So with this win I can see atlanta going to the NFC title game and the packers/giants upsetting dallas

booo detroit, neither of these teams deserve to advance

Yeah the pats have about as easy a road as they've had in a while. If the Steelers get dropped before the AFC title game then I think it's pretty much a lock that they're going to the SB. 

Agreed, i'm actually kinda disappointed how easy the road is. Oakland without carr, houston and miami really don't excite me in the least as a neutral fan of good teams.

Funny you say that.   My friend and I have basically said its Giants or Packers SB to lose.  Was hoping they wouldn't have to meet until NFC championship, but it is what it is.  Only "comp" you really have is Steelers and Chiefs, but would've been interesting if Carr was never hurt.

Well from a pats fan perspective this is all set out perfectly for us. Green bay and NY are horrible threats to us but one has to be eliminated by week 1. In the AFC no team I think beats us but the two I mentioned will play next week if the steelers beat miami and thus eliminating another potential threat. I feel abd for oakland I thinkt hey could have made the afc title game, them playing the steelers would have brought back some good old memories. I dont trust atlanta or dallas. And yes you are right miami fans have this weird cockiness about them despite not being relevant since the marino days.

Which teams worry you in both conferences?  No need to name the Giants either...

Well then my second would be the packers honestly, when the packers pass rush wanna play they are really a pest. Plus rodgers is pretty great. For the AFC it has to be the chiefs because of hill and the defense. But i'm not too worried about the AFC. NFC is very tricky to figure out.

I can't believe so many of you are picking Giants over GB

They beat the packers last 2 times they played in the playoffs, then they made superbowl and beat us twice. Playoff manning and that defense is not something to chuckle at.
