I'm going with Seattle. Their running game will be too strong. Green Bay can't run on a junior college team. Rawls will score 2x.

Fantasy playoffs this weekend. Anyone else in their league playoffs? I made it in both my leagues. One is an 8 team league with a bunch of coaches from my school. The other is a 12 teamer. Man I want to win some $$$ to take the sting of holiday shopping away!

I gave up fantasy 5 years ago after a brutal championship loss. It was a David vs Goliath type champ game with me being Goliath. Pay out was $1100. I ended up scoring the lowest points for anyone in the entire season. Needless to say I lost and I didn't take it well. I was projected to win by a landslide. I miss fantasy, but I find I enjoy real football more now that I don't have a conflict of interest. I would be glued to my fantasy website instead of even watching the game.

This is exactly why I don't like fantasy sports. I enjoy watching the games for the games, not for fantasy results. My kids spend as much time Sundays poring over stats on their phones and tablets as they do with their eyes on the games. To each their own, but it's not for me.

I like playing in pools in which you pick games with spreads. That's it. Old school. Or just plain old. :)

Pk, have you seen the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Four falls of Buffalo? I am a huge fan of 30 for 30, and it was excellent. My dad took me to the sb the bills lost here in Minneapolis in 91. It was a thorough documentary with a lot of commentary from some of the best players. Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Steve Tasker, Bruce smith, Scott Norwood and others. I highly recommend it.

Yep, saw it. I initially didn't want to watch, as those four games remain the most painful football games of my life. Didn't really want to pick at that scab, which never will heal until the Bills win a Super Bowl.

I was afraid this doc would focus on the Bills' failure, familiar ground tread so often. But instead it focused on the fantastic and probably never-repeated feat of reaching four consecutive Super Bowls. I also loved the interviews with Scott Norwood, who remains a pillar of class and decency despite suffering one of the most humiliating public failures in the history of American sport.

Very much enjoyed the "Four Falls of Buffalo" and felt even prouder to be a lifelong Bills' fan after watching it.

LET'S GO BUFFALO -- the Bills make me want to SHOUT! :)

I hear you. I was impressed by how honest the guys were, especially Thurman Thomas. The Scott Norwood parts were impressive, as was all the fan mail don Beebe got after stripping Leon lett. I was too young to remember the bills run, but it's a good story. I have a friend who is a trust fund kid. He's seen an nfl game in over 40 venues. He said watching a game in December at the Ralph was a top 5 experience. He likened the experience and the fans to Lambeau and Arrowhead. Pretty high praise.

One thing that I found surprising was how they commented in the documentary about how a 47 yard kick was super long back then. Now days if you can't routinely hit from 50 you won't make an nfl roster. Hard to believe 20 years ago a 45 yard fg was considered a bomb lol.

Exactly. My 15-year-old and 11-year-old sons still question how Norwood missed that kick and infer he sucked. I always respond by insisting Norwood was one of the better kickers in the NFL during the Bills' glory years and that the effective range of NFL kickers has extended at least 10 yards since the early 90s.

A 47-yard field goal, especially outdoors and on grass, was hardly a gimme in 1990. That miss still remains the most gutting sports experience of my life, rivaled only by Keith Smart's last-second shot for Indiana to beat Syracuse in the 1987 NCAA championship game.

A field goal kicker is the most thankless job in sports. I was a die hard Vikings fan until 1998, when Gary Anderson missed a chip shot field goal to send the Vikings to the sb. They would have easily won it. At that point in time I decided I couldn't stay fully invested to pro sports. I'm a bad loser. From then on I have been able to watch sports for fun. The Vikings and Bills could be the 2 most cursed franchises in nfl history. From the push off against the Cowboys in 75, to 98 Gary Anderson, to 12 men in the huddle and Favre throwing across his body against new Orleans. Add in Blair Walsh missing that 27 yard kick vs Seattle and you have a cursed franchise. Bills and Vikings have both lost 4 super bowls. Not only that, but they are able to pull your heart out. They don't just lose, they lose in heartbreaking fashion.

Cutler east does it again! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Serious question .

Have there ever been, and I do mean ever cause I have never seen seen it, two dumber qbs in league history that Cutler and Stafford?

Too bad Cutler is hurt cause its always a thrill to watch the two biggest retards in NFL history play in the same game.



Thanks to calls for the Lions. Yes calls for the Lions. Somebody at the NFL fell asleep....The Lions win this years retard bowl. Sadly with the scumbag cutler probably moving on the retard Bowl will be retired.

Yeah, I was pulling for them, but it was that close into bringing the game into OT.

Dude, Goff doesn't know where the sun comes up. And to get the kid on the field they had to install a high school level offense. So Goff is at least one dumber QB.

He is an abortion.

So is SEA. Very Un-Wilson like performance. I know this team doesn't play well in cold stadiums and Rodgers have been dissecting them so far. No one has been able to get a sniff at him. Nada. Boy that secondary looks weak without Thomas.

Hawks stunk the joint in TB a couple of weeks ago, they just plain stink this one too. Mind you, this loss against a resurging GB team is not surprising at all to me.
