Seahawks got lucky there at the end.  They're going to have to play much better next week, but I'm sure they already know that!

OK, I hope your team is still in the running.

I wonder how the NFL will top the weirdness that happened last weekend.

GO STEELERS!

Sorry, couldn't help myself!! :shy; I am afraid with injuries and lack of talent they are in trouble this weekend but there is always hope

All I can say is - I am so thankful I'm a Seahawks fan with a real man as QB, and not a Panthers fan with that poor excuse of a sore winner as a QB. We may be out, but at least my team has better men!

I am surprised the Hawks had such a poor first half.  I expected far better of them.

They played very well in the second, but that first was just too much to make up.

Catch up is hard to do, in any game.  I'd still give them an A for the second quarter effort.

Hoping to see them do better next year.

Agreed.  I'm also surprised Carolina had such a poor second half.

Anyone have any thoughts about the conference finals coming up?

Any thoughts about the Super Bowl this weekend?  Who will you be rooting for?  Are you going to or hosting a Super Bowl party?

Will this be Peyton's last game?

I always tend to give Denver an edge.  Training at Mile High is a distinct advantage as the development of a cardio-vascular system within a deprived oxygen atmosphere makes a tremendous difference when they play at the lower altitude stadiums.

Anyone that has hiked/hunted in the high mountains can testify to the huge differences in altitude exertions and rapid onset of tiredness.


Go Denver.

I expect Denver by at least 3.

I will probably watch the Super Bowl. I do think it will be Peyton's last game and I want to see this Cam Newton. I'm glad Tom isn't playing. The Pats played a good season especially considering all their injuries and ended It losing by a small margin to a respected opponent.

Gosh, the 2016-17 season is already halfway over, and we haven't talked about it at all!

So, how are your teams doing?  Do any of you have some general thoughts about the season so far?

How are y'all feeling about the new rule regarding the PAT?  I think I like it!

Does Tony Romo still have a future with the Cowboys?

What's going on with the Packers?  Very inconsistent this year.

Will Jay Cutler be with the Bears next year?

Oakland is looking mighty good, all things considered.  I hope Derek Carr continues to do well; I remember when his older brother David Carr was the first pick when the Texans came into the league.  Unfortunately, the Texans didn't have an O-line, so Carr's career was painfully short.

Who will be the conference champs?  Any predictions?

As a Packers fan, I'm disappointed in our team this year.  They can't seem to get it together on both sides of the ball for the same game.  I've heard rumors that there is trouble between Rodgers and McCarthy, which is fueling the fire for those who wish McCarthy to be shown the door. 

Of course, then there are the Bears.  I think John Fox is a seat-filler.  The McCaskey family needs to clean house from Ted Phillips on down.  But again, as a Packers fan, I love every minute of the dysfunction.

Personally, I would love to see a Lions-Oakland Super Bowl.  I don't think it will happen but I have a soft spot in my heart for Matthew Stafford.  If the Packers can't win the division, I'd be happy to root for the Lions.

I don't claim to be a real Bears fan, but since I live here, I do claim to enjoy all of the moaning and groaning on the Monday morning sports talk shows!

I wouldn't mind seeing a Raiders/Lions Super Bowl!  It would sort of echo a Cubs/Indians World Series.

I didn't realize there is a bit of backstage drama going on in PackerLand.

I loved the Bushes' coin toss.  Brought tears to my eyes.  Lady Gaga's half-time show was respectable. She left politics out.
Then I get to dialysis and there is too much snow on the dish (on the roof) and we get no reception.  We had to listen to it on the radio.  I could not believe the Falcons lost.  I know how the fans feel.  After what happened to the Seahawks....

The Anheuser Bush commercial was good... at least he had papers and was legal.   :thumbup;

Yes, she did leave politics out, but she did include "Born This Way".  Good!

I'm gutted for the Falcons.

My, how time has flown!  Has everyone been having fun?

We're already 5 weeks into the new NFL season.  How is everyone's team doing?  Any general thoughts about how the season is progressing (no, let's not get into all of the protest stuff; that's a different thread!).

I'm becoming more and more turned off by the seemingly increasing frequency of catastrophic injuries.  My Texans suffered two in just a few defensive series.  JJ Watt, who has meant so much to the City of Houston during a very trying time, is out for the season; he missed much of the 2016-17 season due to injury, and now it's a recurring nightmare.  Whitney Mercilus, one of the defensive triumvirate of Watt, Mercilus and Clowney, is also out for the season.  I'm just waiting for Clowney to go down.  The Texans have gone from being one of the most entertaining teams to watch to being a team you're just waiting to implode in on itself.  Deshaun Watson, though, is a joy to behold.

Speaking of rookie qbs thrust all too early into the spotlight, the Bears' Mitch Trubiskey is still most decidedly a rookie.  He had flashes of brilliance on MNF last night but also had flashes of rookieness.

In London I watched the Dolphins v Saints, and I can truly say that in all of my 50 years of watching the NFL, that was the most stupifyingly boring game I'd ever seen.  All the games I've managed to see this year have been either very exciting or mindnumblingly dull.

So, how about you all?  Any insightful thoughts about the season so far?

That's fair enough.  Are you not following the Seahawks at all this season?

In our St Louis News, a local Catholic H.S. football team is so far undefeated and has won by default their last three games.  Other schools with injured players are unable to field a full roster.  Many mention the difference in size of their players also as the Catholic team has many Senior players.

Three weeks with no Friday Night H.S. Football.

Oh, that's terrible.  I'm sorry to hear this.  I've always liked football, but I have to say that lately, I've gone off it a bit.  My husband and I have constant disagreements about the NFL vs boxing.  He can't understand how a sport whose goal it is to knock someone senseless should even be legal.  I can understand that, but what makes it so different from the NFL?  He counters that the intention in the NFL isn't to purposely hurt your opponent.  I think that's irrelevant because there is not a week that goes by where an NFL player hasn't had a season ending injury, and it happens so often that we forget how life-altering this can be.  Whether the injury is intentional or not doesn't really matter.
