I think we all learned 1 thing - KC had the most underrated defense and DC.   

I like Spagnuolo to a point... His secondary plays a little loosy goosy for my liking but he gets it done... Can't argue much against the success he's had..

Not my best take... ?

So happy the Ravens will not be adding another Lombardi trophy.

Whoever limps out of the NFC is going to get boat-raced by the Ravens in the Super Bowl 

And yes ....  many of us believed just that  UNTIL .....  the KC Chiefs  vs  SF 49ers  ....  in the  SUPER BOWL 58 !

Good luck to each team on February 11th.

 what we already knew..

Dan Campbell would handle the press conference with class with few regrets

Brandon Staley would still be telling us "than we don't know anything about ?"    

Ironically... Brandon Staley's Parents are my neighbors... Very nice people...

Somewhere Brandon Staley is saying "Great calls Dan, I would've done the same thing".

Just wondering, at what point does analytics tell them the team with the most points when the clock hits zero at the end of the 4th quarter wins the game?

Although I don't count what Dan Campbell did as analytics, it was just reckless. Sad, considering he used to play for them and should know what that means to to city of Detroit.

Like I told my brother... I get being aggressive and all... But there's a time to take the points.. They weren't in any do or die situations.. Take the points... you win the game... Campbell out coached himself... That said... I think he's a good man...

Yea some of Campbell’s decisions were bizarre to say the least.

I get being aggressive and all.. But at some point.. Except the points and live to play another drive...

What a shame.. A head coach too full of himself costs his team their first ever appearance in a Super bowl..

It's going to be interesting to see how the media spins this..

I think Kevin Stefanski sat in for a few plays... LOL

It's going to be interesting to see how the media spins this..

After today, all I can say is, F THE RATURDS. ???????????????????

I missed most of the Raturd game... Went to see My Brother in laws Grandson play a School of Rock gig.. They do a great job with that.. Wish I had ,had that kind of start when I was young... But proud to say I did it mostly on my own and having the guidence of the best guitar players in the city of Cleveland setting me on the right path...

Lions fans are going to be homicidal for the next seven months.

Had dumbass Dan taken the 2 FGs.. Detroit would be up by at least 3 now..

Fucking dumbass HC

The coach cost them the game

I always feel bad for the players in games like these. 

Oh yes .... it might be fun in the winner's locker room  -but-  can be tough in the other side.   It does wear off with time  -but-  not entirely.   "Entirely".  (Been there.  A state championship, 1966.)
