Oh, the general feeling is it was the wrong call and Beast Mode (Marshawn Lynch) should have been able to run the ball. Most people feel that way. We love our Beast Mode out here :)

All indications are that these penalties will be appealed, so I wonder what the penalty will actually end up being?

Gosh, the sad thing is that Brady just flat out lied.  It's the cover up that will get ya!

My Patriots get beat up too much on this thread. I couldn't handle it. Thick skin required but since I don't have thick skin but I do love football I just check in from time to time. I hope you are right about the Patriots getting to the SB. Go Pats!

The Bills are in the Super Bowl and WIN!!  Hey!!  Its just the media not reporting things right!!! :rofl;  Oh and to SooMK  beat me up about the Bills but I can't like the Patriots (even tho they do have good players)  They are same division as Bills so I root for them to lose. 

REMEMBER its all in FUN!!  I am sure I'll take my hits for being a Bills fan. :)

STAYINGALIVE

For reasons I cannot explain my son has been a Bills fan forever. He suffered through the "wide right" years and continues to root for them..... for that and the early years of his life when I made him a Red Sox fan and they always lost ..... it is my fault.

But we should stick to football ..... go STEELERS. :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

Well, I spent three years building the Steelers stadium in early 2000s and Dan Rooney treated me like a son.

So as long as he is alive (although  I hate his politics and his quarterback is a criminal) I will root for Steelers.

Hey I don't blame you.  I grew up in Buffalo for the first 12 years of life and have been to quite a few games.  I was with them before the super bowls and will stay with them. You gotta stay with the team that makes you happy.
I was just joking on ya too ya know.   I'm just razzing you because my bills are out of it now and besides ribbing back and forth can be fun at times.  Sometimes I will pick the other team just so we can razz each other during the game.(not when Bills play)

The NFL is quickly becoming overlawyered.  I don't even know what a catch is anymore.  "Oh, I don't know, Troy.  I think the receiver's thumb was out of bounds, so they might call that back."

My family had season tickets to Oilers' games since, well, they were the Oilers, so I have to back the Texans, but sheesh, does the AFC South look more like a pillow fight than anything?  And since I'm now living in Bears' country, I'm being forced to watch a lot of pretty bad football.  "Parity" has become "Mediocrity".

SEAHAWKS, BABY!!!!  :yahoo;

Weak beginning to the season, only to close it out with amazing, fun-to-watch games (but not for the fans of the opposing teams -  :rofl; )

I am excited to see what happens? Will Seattle have another SB? Stay tuned!!!

The final week of the NFL season is approaching.  Is your team still in it?

Anyone think that Aaron Rodgers is having a hard time moving around this morning after being sacked 8 times yesterday?  That was unbelievable.

I'm not sure why they should be.  They've lost homefield advantage as a result.  I can't see any advantage to losing to the DOLPHINS in such an important game, especially if they end up having to go to Denver for the AFC Championship game.

My only thought is they are trying to keep Tom healthy and gave up potential home filed for that. He has been getting pounded lately with the changing offensive line problems they are having.

I've heard that he's just been diagnosed with an ankle sprain.  I didn't get to see Pats/Fins game; did he play the whole game?  But you're right, their O-line hasn't been very good lately.  I'm sure he'll be ready to play in 2 weeks.

The big surprise was the return of Peyton Manning.  Didn't see that one coming.

Tom did play the whole Miami game except for maybe one snap (I was listening to the radio broadcast and multitasking) but the Pats are so banged up and Tom had so little protection that it was a tough game to listen to. If there's no running game and you can't protect your quarterback no good will come of it.

This has become a big quibble of mine.  Injuries.  I don't know what can be done to prevent injuries in the NFL, but it just FEELS like there are more and more players missing games, and we are reduced to watching the third stringers.  This becomes a problem for the playoffs, especially if your starting QB is hurt, which is more often the case.  Sometimes I see games where I don't recognize anyone.

If I was Tom Brady I would be remembering how my career really got started and how Drew Bledsoe's ended. I agree with you MM about the strangers in some of these games. It takes time for players to work well together and there isn't time right now for that to happen. Some of these players get one game to prove themselves and if they don't they're gone. Years ago I had read that part of minimizing injuries was in good conditioning and preparation during the off season but it seems like the game is getting more violent and no amount of prep can help. Someone suggested that if players didn't wear helmets the game would be less violent, no false sense of being protected. I do know that every season I question if it's time to stop following football.

I agree with your every work, SooMK!  To your point about how it takes time for players to work well together, the same can be said about coaching staffs.  Owners and fans alike want to win NOW.

Also, I get the impression that mini-camps, RTAs and pre-seasons are not being utilized correctly.  It goes to your point about good conditioning and prep during the off season.  While I can certainly understand a player's not wanting to risk injury during those times, it seems to me that with more competent training staffs, a player's fear might be minimized.  I don't know why no one is calling me for advice!   :P

I, too, wonder each year if my time might be better spent doing something besides following the NFL.  I do know that each year, I watch less and follow with less interest.  You can't take a deep breath without it being followed by a commercial.
