Hands down the best weekend of football I've seen in a LONG time. And what a way to cap the weekend with one of the best games to date (atl/NE superbowl comeback still the best I've seen). Unfortunate but no way next weekends games stands up to this weekend but who knows!! With no dog in the fight I'm rooting for the underdogs and a San Fran Cindy superbowl lol. If I had to guess though it will be: San Fran (throwing San Fran in a dilemma with Trey lance) and KC. And taking KC SB winners.
Agreed, I do not remember a divisional round that was this good, all games were decided on the last play so we cannot ask for anything more than that.
Out of the four games the Rams vs Bucs game was the most boring for the first three quarters but then the Bucs somehow comeback, the best team won at the end but the Rams were having a complete meltdown, after the Fournette TD which tied the game the Rams players were completely lost, they could not believe their eyes that somehow Brady was going to pull a SB51 comeback on them, fortunately for them Stafford showed why they brought him and got the FG to win the game, and good for them he did because if they did not and Brady got the ball on OT they knew they were never going to see the ball.
And then we got the instant classic of the Bills vs the Chiefs, not much to say about it we all watched it and enjoyed it, however the only thing I do not like about a game like it is that there are always those that complain about the OT rules trying to make the case that both teams should get a chance to hold the ball, but I disagree as both the defense and special teams are part of the game as well, and if the Bills cannot stop Mahomes with only 13 seconds left then they do not deserve the win.
Also while some have speculated that Mahomes vs Allen would be the next big rivalry, yesterday we got the confirmation we needed this will be in fact be the case.
It's like the 80's all over again, lol. Cincinnati has been to two Super Bowls and lost both to San Francisco. That would make for some awesome story lines and history lessons. Cinci beat the Chiefs already this year, but I'm not sure if they can do so again this weekend. I'll be rooting for them. I wouldn't mind another shot at KC, though and since they would be the favorite this time around, we might actually win. Regardless of which AFC team makes the cut, from an unbiased NFL fan's perspective I think it would be way more fun if they had to face the Niners. Nothing against the Rams and I'm not just saying that because I'm a 9ers fan, but there's no history/rivalry between the Rams and either AFC team.
But first things first, have to get past the Rams.
GO NINERS!
Personally I would like to see a rematch between the Chiefs and the 49ers, the last rematch we saw at the SB was the Rams vs the Patriots, but it was 20 years later and the only ones left after so long were Brady, Belichick and Kraft, so it can be hardly called a rematch, but this time is different, a great deal of the same players are still within both organizations and the 49ers will want to get even with Chiefs, making for a more interesting storyline.
