Hue Jackson is staying. The Browns are bottom barrel. It's not all coaching. They don't have the talent after missing on so many draft picks. Barkley and Ridley would help Kizer a lot.

Of course, they need a lot of help on D, too. And thomas is aging.

Texans, Cowboys keeping coaches. BOB getting more responsibility because Rick Smith is stepping aside.

Raiders are giving new head coach Jon Gruden a 10-year contract, the longest coaching deal in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. The deal is likely to be worth about $100 million.

Titans Fans may have had a heart attack bbartsche. After KC got the fumble recovery for a TD it was called back, and Tenn holds on to win 22-21. What a crazy finish to that game in KC.

ATL @ LA Rams going on now. Will update in morning.
 
2 Fumbles did the rams in... Also their special teams in the first quarter gave the falcons 2 early field goals and then a TD to go up 13-0, it was hard for them to recover after a lack luster first half. Falcons and their experience head to the next round. 26-13
 
Bills are back in the playoffs to what seems like forever (Pun intended). The Jags ended up keeping it close and securing the W at home 10-3. Both teams struggled on offense as Bortles was kept to under 100 yards in the air. Taylor was 17/37 with 1 INT and Peterson came into the game for a few plays and threw a pick himself. Those 2 turnovers were costly to the Bills trying to make a break and get deeper into the playoffs.

AFC Next week:
JAX @ Pitt
Tenn @ NE

Saints and Carolina. Wow this was an up and down one come the second half. Saints went into halftime with a 21-9 Lead. Carolina looked sluggish on offense and Brees had the saints rolling. Second half we saw Cam Newton and the panthers come to life. Olsen and McCafferty both had 100+ in the air which really got the panthers back into the game. Brees then took over with his own arm. Ted Ginn's 80 yard strike and Michael Thomas almost adding 150 yards were clutch. Saints win after Cam and the Panthers had trouble getting it in on the last few seconds 31-26

NFC Next Week:
ATL @ Philly
NO @ Minn

I would love to see Jays brother John steal Kirk away, and bring in some competition in Oakland
 
AFC
JAX @ Pitt (-7)

Biggest question is with AB Back will the steelers show up or falter to the Jags Defense?
Will fournette run all over the steelers (180 yards last time)?
Can the steelers minimize the mistakes, and if they do will they be able to capitalize?

Tenn @ NE (-13)

A lot of people do not have any hope in Tenn here. Many are already chalking up NE in the AFC Championship which has been a common occurrence
If brady and NE Come out can Mariota pull the team together and keep them competitive?

NFC
ATL (-3) @ Philly

Can Foles lead the eagles to the NFC Championship?
Will Matt Ryan and their experience give them another W in the playoffs?
ATL Rush Offense vs Philly Rush Defense.. That will be the huge story of the game.

NO @ Minn (-4)

Could be a possible shoot out?
Can the vikings stop Brees and the Saints?
If NO is held under 21 points I can see MINN Taking this one at home.


My thoughts on the upcoming games...

Better than your guesses at the winning teams this weekend...Lol. no way Philly or Minn come out of this weekend with a win

We'll see. Thats why they play the games. Its no where near as lopsided matchup wise as the pats/titans. Matt ryan could fall into one of his games where he throws 4 picks and the saints damn near lost last week to a worse team. I dont think theyre as black and white as you think.

...And even if i get those wrong id be 50% so its still better than his winning percentage..just sayin.

Didn't the Vikes already beat the Saints this season? I can't think of any reason why you would think they don't have any chance of doing it again, at home.

Philly put the ball on the ground 2 times and ATL could not cash in on the turnovers. Eagles move into the NFC Championship between the winner of the Saints and Vikings tomorrow. ATL had it 4th and goal with a minute to go on the 1 yard line and it sailed over Julio's head after Ryan was scrambling around trying to make a play. What a great playoff game to get the weekend kicked off.

Philly got lucky on that one. Just watch for the rest

lol @ lucky... everything that could have went wrong early, did...2 TO's that ATL turned into 10 pts and a missed XP...and with the game on the line, Matty Ice had a shot, goal-to-go....lucky my ass, this Defense is nothing to take lightly.
