Aside from the Niners is anyone especially good or dominant in the NFC? I'm baffled at the talk of Seattle somehow being a great team with a crappy +29 differential for the season. The Seahawks are a wildly lucky team. A fluke team. But not a particularly good one, and probably just a 6-5 team that has had weird luck. The NFC is really full of bogus teams like this aside from the Niners. Anyone trust the Saints really? Or Green Bay? Minnesota at least has a record to match their numbers, but the Vikings seem about 2 and done in the playoffs. As much as everyone piles on the Cowboys they still have the 3rd best differential in the NFC.
As far as the Pats go, look, they're a great team at squashing jobbers. That's basically what they've done this year. But really even marginal teams like the Cowboys and Eagles have hung with them. I guess they got a road win over the Bulls that wasn't very convincing. But really it's just a lot of beatdowns on the Dolphins, Jets, Redskins, etc.
Ravens are the best team in football. Whipped Seattle. Whipped New England. Crushed Houston and the Rams beyond words. Edged the Niners today.

For a team down 28-9 with less then 10 minutes in the 4th they are running a hell of a lot. It's not about winning this game. It's more about trying to get this offense together for the rest of the season. In the first “Do Your Job” documentary, Bill Belichick said that he knew the 2014 Patriots had something when he was watching them in the second half of a 41-14 drubbing in Kansas City (the infamous Trent Dilfer “they’re just not good anymore!” Monday Night game). His reasoning was because the team clearly wasn’t going to win, but they showed a lot of fight and didn’t just roll over. Who knows, maybe Bill Belichick will see that in tonight’s Patriots. They lost the game but they were within a Brandon Bolden fingertip of having a chance to drive down the field and win it in the final seconds. Even when down 19 points in the fourth quarter, they never quit.

Seems that the Pats have the same problem with mobile qb's that the Niners do.

Now that the Bengals won and it looks like the Colts aren't going to the playoffs, I think I'll look at something else. Every week can still be interesting, though the Colts would require the Titans, Raiders, and Steelers to all shit the bed and they go on a run for them to make it. You can watch to see if the Broncos feel that Drew Lock might be their future (and take away a team who might draft a QB). You can root for the Racialslurs to lose to improve the 2nd round pick that the Colts are getting from them. You could also root against the Jets for that 6th round pick. You can root against the Cowboys since that is always fun. Same for rooting against the Jags.

Guys, the Patriots basically won the Super Bowl already. Since Alabama's not winning the Championship this year, it means the trend once again favors the Patriots going all the way again.
And believe me, with the way the AFC looks, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone when it happens.

Weird thing to say when they've lost to the Ravens and Texans already and have tough games versus the Chiefs and Bills to play. Although if they end up with the #1 seed we all know they are going back to the Superbowl.

Booger: You know it's those freak plays that normally dont go their (Minnesota's) way...Minneapolis Miracle. So it's like finally one of those goes our way.
Booger talking about a batting that led to a Minnesota pick six, forgetting the Miracle gave the Vikings the win.
