Was today's Cowboys loss more or less hard to swallow than the Giants game 10 years ago? There were a few similarities: 13-3 #1 seed, beat by a 10-6 team. I would say less because the Giants are a division rival and Dallas beat them twice that year. Also, Cabo San Lucas.

Steelers worse than Patriots? That's funny. Multiple suspensions, lies, fines, scandals, etc. Vs. Douchey QB, douchey linebackers coach, uhhhhh... Yeah, Pittsburgh is evil. 😑 I'm from Cincy, IDGAF. Whole organization is full of hoes as far as I'm concerned. Tell Mike Tomlin to put some chap stick on and stop looking Tyrone Biggums. Cincy? Where Vontaze Burfict and Pacman Jones roam with a coach that should have been fired multiple times.

Andy Reid sure seems like a great guy, but man is he an underachiever as a coach

Kelce is pretty right about the refs, but it would carry more weight coming from a guy who isn't him.
Reid's offense finally had game-breakers, and they threatened sustained drives less than ever. Their last scoring drive took an eternity, and before that they burned through TOs letting the clock run down even further. Reid's offense is so conservative and relatively predictable that you'd think it wouldn't take 38 seconds to hike the damn ball every play. And being that this is a consistent, if not CONSTANT, problem for Reid's offenses going back to his early Philly days, he seems to just plain not care about fixing it.

This Packers team is so poorly constructed, it's a miracle they've gotten this far.
Seriously, this team is literally Aaron Rodgers and a bunch of guys.
It's like the pre-title Jordan Bulls- one guy is singlehandedly beating better teams.

Great, it's two teams I hate in the AFC title game. Well, let's go Patriots. Y'all some hoes but at least you ain't Pittsburgh. This is among the biggest compliment any non-Patriots fan has ever dispensed upon the Patriots in the history of these forums. Seriously, have the Steelers ever beaten Brady in the playoffs? Ever? The Steelers are 0-2 against Brady in the postseason with losses in the 2001 and 2004 AFC Championship Games, both of which were in Pittsburgh. Also, the Steelers are 2-9 against Brady in his career and he has a lifetime stat line of 264-for-381 (69.2 completion percentage) for 3,148 yards and 26 touchdowns to three interceptions in those 11 games. Granted, nine of those games came against defenses led by then-Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, whose defenses Brady seemed to take great pleasure in positively shredding to bits. However, in the two games Brady's played against Pittsburgh since Keith Butler took the reigns, he's 44-for-58 (75.8 percent) for 510 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. What I'm getting at here is that Tom Brady's good.

I think we're gonna get Pats-Packers in a Super Bowl XXXI rematch. I think the Falcons are a better team than the Green Bay Rodgersers, but they're the Falcons and will find some way to mess it all up.

Also, it's kinda funny seeing Travis Kelce call the most obvious and blatant offensive holding penalty ever "bad officiating." I guess you're not going to throw your teammate under the bus and emotions are high, but c'mon man.

I could have tolerated losing the AFC Championship Game to the Kansas City Chiefs. He might be a bumbling goof who handles timeouts like he gets a dozen of them per quarter, but I respect Andy Reid. And outside of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, I've really got nothing negative to say about the guys on the roster. But to lose to Pittsburgh? To have to suffer through guys like Mike Tomlin, Joey Porter, Todd Haley, Mike Munchak, Ben Roethlisberger, and James Harrison celebrating by hoisting the trophy on the Gillette Stadium turf? Nope. No way. F*** that noise.

Also, the Steelers' only win at Gillette Stadium was in 2008, when Cassel was QB, and the Steelers' D was at its prime.

Also, the Steelers' only win at Gillette Stadium was in 2008, when Cassel was QB, and the Steelers' D was at its prime. The Steelers are going to need their defense to come up big on Sunday if they want to advance to Houston and Super Bowl LI, because that's the way to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in the playoffs. If Pittsburgh thinks their best method of victory is relying on their offense to outscore the Patriots, they could be in for an unfortunate outcome. Of Tom Brady's 32 career playoff games, the Patriots are 5-8 when they score 21 or fewer points. The last time they scored 21 or fewer points and won a playoff game was the 2007 AFC Championship Game. Meanwhile, when the Patriots score 24 or more points with Brady under center in the playoffs, they're 18-1. If history is any indication, the Steelers will need to hold the Patriots under 21 points because I don't envision a way in which they lose if they put up 28 or better.

If we do get Packers/Pats, it would probably in reality be the only time ever in the Super Bowl that the 2 best QBs of that time, that wouldn't even be deniable, played each other head to head for it all. Like what was the closest thing we had to the 2 best QBs playing in the Super Bowl? Probably have to go all the way back to Montana vs. Marino, and that was 30 years ago and even then Marino was still young. Montana/Elway, hell even back to Bart Starr/Len Dawson in the first Super Bowl. But Rodgers/Brady would be clear cut the two best in the game right now. The only potential matchup that would create any buzz, yet people are treating it like Commissioner Gordon in "Dark Knight" I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

What I'm getting at here is that Tom Brady's good. Brady didn't play most of the 2001 AFC-CG. Remember, Bledsoe came in and had his last great moment as a Patriot after Brady got hurt.
