Truthfully...and I might get killed for this...I wouldn't be upset if Brady doesn't get another one. He's been a made man for a while and his career reflects that. Very few players can compare. I don't take what we've had for granted at all.

I get more and more appreciation each year for how tough it is to win a Superbowl.

The missed opportunities still hurt, but he did his part. I don't put that on him. Leaving with 3 and a bunch of other records and **** is cool.

It's been "one more for icing on the cake" since '04 for me and '07 for some.

I have to be in bed by 8 tho, so we'll need to make quick work of him.

Village. :smh: Dude lives in Eugene, tryna throw shade on another man's city. :lol:
 
Man I really hope the Falcons hire Josh McDaniels or some other idiot along those lines :lol:

Hoping Rex Ryan and his bro go to the Bears and stay out of our division.
 
Falcons should hire Rex..


I pray they don't since we play them next year and I'll probably go to the game
 
Did the Falcons start searching for coaches yet or is Arthur Blank still on the podium at the press conference?
 
^ my bad kkkooper might be a little tall to fit the mold.. But he did have ole boy on the jets in Denver, right?

I think the team in the worst spot is the Jets.

They have no ******* clue who they're gonna hire, they just fired a coach that took them to multiple AFC Championships and then they didn't even suck enough to get Mariota or Jameis.
 
Rex Ryan would be awesome for the Raiders turning them around but I don't think he'll go that route.

The Falcons just need SO many damn pieces on their defense and they don't even have much cap room to really improve it that much. Not even Rex could turn that thing around in a year.
 
In New England, Seattle, Denver and Green Bay, fans will wake up this morning thinking about how great the bye week will be, a chance for their teams to rest up and then be one victory—a home victory—away from the conference championship, with the Super Bowl to follow. They can almost taste the dry air of Glendale, Ariz., home of Super Bowl XLIX.

But those fans should remember one inescapable fact: The odds are very strong that at least one of those easy-living teams will lose its first game in the playoffs. The 2004 season was the last time the postseason played to chalk, with the two top seeds in each conference holding serve at home. Two teams that earned bye weeks went one-and-done after the 2005, ’07 and ’10 seasons. Three teams kicked rocks in the massacre of ’08.

Good luck trying to find a Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos or Packers fan who thinks his team will be the one bounced early from the dance. In some cases, that involves temporary amnesia.

The 2012 Broncos rolled into the postseason at 13-3 with 11 straight victories. They were facing a Ravens team that they had just hammered less than a month prior—on the road, no less—by a score of 34-17. The result? Broncos fell 38-35 in overtime thanks to safety Rahim Moore’s coverage gaffe near the end of regulation. Moore still starts for Denver.

What about the Packers? In 2011, Green Bay was 15-1. They had league MVP Aaron Rodgers steering the ship. And in their first playoff game, the Packers were dumped 37-20 by the Giants at Lambeau Field.
And who could forget about the 2010 Patriots, who finished 14-2, with eight straight victories, including four by 29 points or more? They welcomed the Jets to Gillette Stadium, the same field where New England tattooed Gang Green 45-3 just six weeks earlier. Result? The Jets dominated the Patriots 28-21 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicates.
The Seahawks have never choked after a bye (they hadn’t had many before last season), so their fans might not be sure what we’re talking about. They will continue on in their (elite) neophyte bliss (ah, newbies).

So it's been a decade since all 4 teams w/ bye weeks won their games.

Does the streak end? Which team(s) is getting the boot in 2 weeks?
