Holy crap what an ending in Minnesota just now! Not sure what that New Orleans safety was thinking.

And I'd say it's about time to change this rule that says they must snap the PAT even when it's meaningless.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

Apparently, Marvin Lewis had a change of heart and wanted to keep coaching.  The Bengals were happy to oblige.  Meanwhile, his former QB, Carson Palmer, is retiring.
Man, I feel bad for Bengals fans. 15 years and 0 playoff wins.

Detroit says "Hello."

Plenty of folks in Louisiana want to unsee that last play.  I feel bad for them.

Best finish to a football game in my lifetime so far, although I'm still a big fan of Auburn's game-winning kickoff return in the Iron Bowl a few years ago.

I don't the Vikings suffered a heartbreaker loss in the 2009 NFC championship game. Now the Saints can feel what that is like. They came out on the winning side last time now it can be the other way around. Sometimes luck goes one way this time it went the other way.

Better than this?

I should have specified that I meant "a finish I got to witness live." ;-)

Also, don't think I didn't see what you did there with the second video. :meh:

Fun fact. There are 19 non-rookies on the Patriots who have advanced to the afc championship game in every year of their career.

Jags put up quite a fight today but just couldn't hold on.

So now 15 of the 17 AFC titles in this century have been won by either Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Ben Roethlisberger (8, 4 and 3 respectively, and the other 2 were Rich Gannon and Joe Flacco)

Which one of the 18 (one per year from 2001 to 2018) are you excluding?
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

I'm going by seasons. The first season of the 21st century was 2001, and the current season is 2017.

So does it ever bore the crap out of you guys that actually watch football that the same team is in the Super Bowl almost every year?

The thing about the Patriots is that no matter how far behind they are, they will still win the game.

Maybe a little more for those of us who root for that team. Last year, the "Revenge Tour" story made it more interesting, and of course the improbable comeback against the Falcons. This year, not so much, except maybe the fear that the window might be closing on the Patriots, and this year might be their last chance for awhile.

Those rooting against the Patriots (who I expect will vastly outnumber me at the party I'll be attending Sunday evening, as happened last year) can at least hope their latest opponent will be the one to defeat them. They can dream of something like how the Mississippi State women's B-ball team finally knocked off the rather Patriot-like UConn behemoth in the 2017 Women's Final Four.

Gotta love football player nicknames that make it sound like they always have a concussion.  :rolleyes:

I still watched the Star Wars prequels even though I knew the evil Galactic Empire was going to win.

Yes, including this Sunday, 14 of the last 15 and 15 of the last 17 AFC Super Bowl participants have had Tom Brady, Peyton Manning on Ben Roethlisberger as the starting QB, with 9 wins among them.  One of the three is retired and I'm really looking forward to when the other two are gone and there can be more parity.

Yes it gets boring seeing Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl every year. But I still watch hoping they'll lose. Part of the fun of watching is not only rooting for a team but also rooting against a team you hate.
