Back in 2016 it was Ben McAdoo holding the reins and in 2018 Pat Shurmur came to town-now it's two years on and previously unknown Pats Special Teams coach Joe Judge wowed 69 (don't even start) year-old Dave Gettleman and 65 year-old John Mara. Mara & Gettleman: "Wow, you actually brought

There's much talk of drinkling and fooding in the early thread so I know that everyone is doing it right proper today. The forty-five minutes I spent on the elliptical (god, I hate that motherfucker) won't even begin to justify the calories that I'll be absorbing through the day but

The eyes of a nation shift from Kansas City to San Francisco. The tv is changed from CBS to Fox. Mozza stix have been replaced by chicken wings. A glass of scotch that doesn't need to be topped up is topped up. Balls are scratched. Someone finally notices the huge

The countdown has begun. Only two more games after this one. Well, I'm sure people started counting down before now but I'm not able to handle anything beyond three so this is when I start. Both games today are rematches and the googler tells me that when teams meet again

Let's keep 'er rolling along like a certain running back, shall we? TO THE GAME! Seahawks/Packers: -Are the Packers the most underwhelming 13-3 team in ever? I went down their sked and I can see all of 2(!) quality wins. One is versus the Chiefs early in the season and the other is

Welcome back as always Pigskinheads! Are you ready for more? Of course you are. Will we get another glorious upset like we did yesterday? I simply did not see Sillycuse winning over UVA-I mean, I saw it but I didn't see it. Makes sense? No? If Seattle beats the Packers could

There are certain commentors here that are emotionally challenged, er, invested, I meant to say 'invested' in this game and they should be out in force tonight. Don't forget to put on your kid gloves before engaging them-they're in a vulnerable position right now what with everything on the line

Over in the AFC it's a foregone conclusion that the Ravens and Chiefs are gonna butt heads next week and that the games played this weekend are just a formality. NOT SO IN THE NFC, brother! Or sister. It's none of my business as to which sibling you choose to

Last Call! TO THE GAME! Seahawks/Eagles: -Ertz and Sanders are both cleared to play but would they if this wasn't a playoff game? I am worried that if Ertz gets smoked he might not get back on to the field. -One thing in Philly's favour today is that their D is a beast at

Well, now it's the NFC's turn to show us what they've got. TO THE GAME! Vikes/Saints: -I don't know, man. Poking around here, there and everywhere it just does not look that good for Minny. I guess an extremely heavy Derrick Henry-like dose of Dalvin Cook and a smattering of Mattison might slow

TO THE GAME! Titans/Pats: -Of any year, this is the one where the Pats needed the bye the most. They are starting to look old-ish in my opinion. They really are a 10-6 club that was gifted some wins way back in the fall. -Everyone's mother is saying that them Tits are built

And all that work in the regular season to eliminate all those lousy teams except for the Eagles, smgdh. Hey, we're here-let's make the best of it. TO THE GAME! Bills/Texans: -J.J. Watt is back! The usual recovery time from a torn pec is six months + (depending on severity of course) but
