NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

I’m a bigly Saints fan and think the Vikings are very Pantherish. I expect another good game with the Vikes as favorites with the home field

If Wentz was healthy NFC games next week would be just salivating. AFC might be 2 walkovers.

I think the Jags have a chance of winning against Pittsburgh (probably unlikely, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won):

1) The Jags did beat them handily earlier in the year (granted it wasn't recent),
2) Buffalo and Pittsburgh defensively are similar in how they match up versus Jacksonville: Jax has a strong run game and shit pass game (because Bortles) and both Buffalo and Pitt are good versus pass but have poor rush defenses (by YPA and by TDs - Pitts 22nd & Buff 32nd in league). So really, it all depends on Pittsburgh being able to defend against Leonard Fournette like the Bills just did. If they can't, that will be the difference and the Jags will win
3) Personally, I feel like that Jaguars defense is so good that I can see them slowing down Pitt's offense. Their first game they did hold Pitt to 3 field goals. Big Ben threw 5 INTs and they kept Leveon under 50 yards - Jax defense feasted that game

It's hard to imagine Ben being that bad again. Remember, two of those five interceptions were TAINTs. Take that away and it's a one score ball game. It was an extreme defensive performance and I'm not sure that will happen again. Even if Ben is mediocre that's a huge improvement over that game.

Steelers play down to everyone so I'm not taking anything for granted.

Sorry Daez, Rams were a top 5 team in the league this year but still didn't have enough experience to beat a playoff hardened team being led by the reigning league mvp.

Next year is gonna be fun.

Pittsburgh has too much talent.

Pitt does have a ton of talent on offense, but if you can manage to stop Bell you can beat the Steelers offense. He is the most important part of that offense. Take out the running game and eventually Ben will make a mistake.

That's right, plus is "Pittsburgh has too much talent" what everyone said during week 5. I'm looking at the highlights from that week and the Jags played hard defense. Seem that's going to determine the game

Yeah two bad qbs that need to be replaced.

I feel bad for Bills fans. I really thought they could have won that Jacksonville game. Coming off a good win, the feel good story, a shaky opposing QB who played shaky, McCoy started....I mean it was all there for them to win a playoff game. The Jags gave up 44 points to the fucking 49ers a few weeks ago. The Bills should of been able to put up at LEAST 10 points on that defense, I though they would score 17 points or so with a defensive or special teams TD or something, but Tyrod Taylor showed you why not having a competent QB under center is a team killer.

The guy just sucks. I dont blame the Bills coach for benching him during the season. He was probably as disgusted as Gunnar and said fuck it put in the Peterman guy. It didnt work out but scoring 3 points in a playoff game after not being there since it was 1999 is actually a travesty and they need to completely move on with a clean slate at QB.

I knew the Saints would win at home. Brees too good. I think they beat the Vikings too, depending on the weather. Isnt the Vikings new stadium outdoors or partial roof? If it was still the dome the Saints would have rolled but its a toss up depending how well Keenum plays. Pats and Steelers will meet in AFC championship rematch. We could see a Super Bowl rematch actually because there is no way the Falcons lose to Nick Foles. Although, the NFC Championship game would be in New Orleans, where Brees is undefeated in the postseason. So it COULD be a Saints Pats Super Bowl.

Either way the Patriots will be going to their 8th straight AFC championship game, which is just fucking stupid. Most NFL teams havent even made it to multiple conference championships never mind 8....STRAIGHT. I think they have something stupid like 12 or 13 AFC Championship game appearances and NINE Super Bowl appearances. I know the 49ers have been to a ridiculous amount of conference championships, having lost a good many of them, I think they have been to 10? They lost 2 in the early 90's to Dallas and I think they lost to the Giants the year they won with Parcells and lost one in the mid 90's during the Young years to the Packers I think.
