Unfortunately for the Cowboys, they won’t get to play WFT in the playoffs.

Nick Foles still sux Bears losing 17/7

What happened to the CHARGERS?

Lol the Rams are locked into winning the Division

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I do hope to see the Titans rather the Chiefs in the Superbowl but we need the Packers eliminated too

But Rams are on their way to the Playoffs

Herbert got growing pains to deal with

[GeorgiaModerate]

In case anyone is wondering, the record for points scored by an NFL team is 73. The Bears won the 1940 championship game 73-0 against the (you guessed it) Redskins.

I wonder if any other sports league in the world has the record for biggest blowout in ... a championship game

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No one can fix Jags, Jets, Vikings, Falcons and Lions and Texans those teams are cursed to mediocrity

The rise of Brady he will be retiring soon, Stafford, Mahomes have made the league less competetive

But who are we kidding it's like that in all sports baseball Giants, Dodgers, Braves and basketball Suns, Warriors and Nets, super teams

I read a great anecdote about that game. The Bears went up 7-0 and when the Redskins got the ball, their QB (the great Sammy Baugh) threw a long pass right on target to a wide open receiver behind the defense. It was a sure TD, but slipped through the receiver’s fingers. The Redskins had to punt, and the rout was on.

After the game, a reporter asked Baugh if it would have made a difference in the outcome if the receiver had held on and tied it at 7-7, making a game of it.  “Sure would have,” replied Baugh. “We’d have lost 73-7.”

I hope someone wakes up the Sleep Steelers before next Monday's game.  Embarrassing.

Big Ben win 2/3 titles during Troy Palamolou era and should of won three but Rodgers won and Troy Palamolou retired soon afterwards, this is last yr anyways, Ryan Clark said on ESPN

But, Brady took titles away from Rodgers during Deflate gate era well

[Ancestral Republican]

I hope someone wakes up the Sleep Steelers before next Monday's game.  Embarrassing. 

Is this finally the time for the Steelers to move on from Tomlin?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Steelers are going with Mason Rudolph and Tomlin isn't going anywhere he would go to Rams or Chargers or another team as Assistant coach and become Heir Apparent if somehow McVey doesn't win a title with Stafford or Justin Herbert doesn't win

McCarthy, Belichick and Tomlin are staying put

The last coach Steelers have was Bill Cowher that was 14 yrs ago.

Tomlin is gonna stay just like Greg Popovich is with the Spurs

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

There aren't any Saint fans since they lost Brees on this Forum, the Saints played Lousy tonight against Dolphins

[GeorgiaModerate]

Is this finally the time for the Steelers to move on from Tomlin?

In my view, yes.  He couldn't do more than 3 playoff wins with Ben, Brown and Bell since 2010 and he can't control the divas we have now, and his coaching hires are terrible.  Time to move on.  But the Steelers never move on from a head coach, so it's not happening.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

And the Niners or Ravens would proudly get rid of Shanahan or Harbaugh and pursue Tomlin they hired Mike Singletary and have Lamar Jackson, they would snatch Tomlin up just like Cowboys snatched McCarthy up after Packers made a silly mistake and fired him and Rodgers said later he regrets it

Harbaugh and Shanahan aren't getting fired.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No but Nagy would get fired and Bears would hire Tomblin
