BIlls, Titans, Rams, Chiefs, Jaguars... all look somewhat like a wet rugs that got peed on. Yet they made it somehow. The NFC is almost as bad. It’s the first time I’ve really been disappointed by the quality of the playoff teams, which means this will probably end up to be the greatest playoff ever somehow.
Seems like the two conferences are opposite to me - AFC has the two dominant powerhousea and namebrands, with a bunch of other lesser teams mixed in. KC seems like the only legit threat in the discussion. The NFC is wide open with great non-namebrand teams and 5 teams with 11+ wins. It includes a HOF QB w/ Superbowl ring, two #1 pick QBs that have been to SBs, a #1 pick newcomer QB, what-should-have-been a #2 pick newcomer QB, and a random dude having an amazing season that might be on the best team of the bunch. The NFC playoffs seem fascinating to me.
Did anyone see the postgame interaction between sean payton & the bucc's coach? Acting cordial, but sarcastic well wishes and "affectionately" slapping each other on the chest a little too hard. Weirdest thing, there's a video of it here https://www.sbnation.com/2018/1/1/16839260/sean-payton-dirk-koetter-handshake-saints-buccaneers
They have Mike Mularkey & I'm glad they'll keep him for at least one more year. He was reportedly on the hot seat & could've/would've/should've been fired if he lost this game.
