Sure.

Imagine if 50k people didn't mind paying $200/year to watch their kids go to school 10 times a year...

Yes, the AFC is pretty bad this year. We'll see if the Jags can take advantage.

Nobody should be shocked KC lost

Hmmmm.... both home team favorites lost...

I am so glad Jeff Triplette isn't refereeing the Jags-Bills game.  The guy is a joke.  I hope the running game for the Jags is good and Bortles plays like someone other than Bortles.  Scary that both home teams lost yesterday.  Be nice if we meet the Titans again and WIN!

Just read Jeff Triplette is retiring!  Now they need to get some sensible rules for challenges and stop letting morons in stripes ruin games.  Stop the early whistle, plays that aren't challengeable, etc.  If it's a bad call, look at it and overturn it across the board..

Funny thing is...  I'm so used to our season being over by Mid-October, and because I'm so tired of discussing the draft by the playoffs, that I start watching football again.

Not this year.

I might turn the game on, but there's definitely no plans to actually watch it.

Is this what it's like to be a Bengal fan for the past 10 years?  Making the tournament, but never having anything to show for it.

As usual I don't watch Super Bowls that features the Cheats, cya next season. Go Jags!

Not even close. Bengals are always one and done.Jags won 2 games including one on the road.
I completely disagree about making  the AFC championship game. I find it impressive. But no Indy, it is not banner worthy.

Well technically you won your division, but I get it - if you don't win the SB, then it's just a participation trophy.

^ Right, but it's common practice (not just in Indianapolis) to put up a division championship banner.  The Jaguars have (or had) '98 and '99 division championship banners at field level in the north end zone.

The Colts took it to a new level with the asinine practice of putting up banners for Wild Card berths and, of course, being an "AFC Finalist"

^ True.  It's hard to imagine that organization will continue to be as much of a comedy gift in the absence of Chuck Pagano, but there's always Jim Irsay at the helm.

Did you see the attempted cross-field lateral during a punt return when the Colts played the 49ers this year?  It might be even funnier than the infamous fake punt play, especially when you factor in the home crowd reaction.

No idea why they went for 2 at 15 points, almost came back to bite them. But if that's what got them to call the plays the way they did (throwing caution to the wind) then so be it.

I am very satisfied. With the gameplay and the outcome.  ;D

On the surface they obviously were trying to get back the missed extra point (the kicking woes seemed to be related to the Super Bowl logo that was dead center on the field as opposed to offset like the AFC Playoff logos were).

I can see both sides of it. I'd probably just take the PAT (higher percentage play earlier in the game), but I don't know if what Pederson did was totally wrong.
