I wonder if they're putting all their eggs in the Dan Quinn basket (and waiting...)?

Could be. I don't think they have much competition anymore since the other teams weren't willing to wait.

am I the only one that sees the Raider's hiring Del Rio as just 'more of the same...' for the Raiders?

When you listen to Rich Gannon, he is almost belligerent when talking about how screwed up the culture is in that building... and is Del Rio the one to fix that? Don't think so

Adelle Dazeem will be singing the national anthem at the big game.

The NFC Championship pregame warmups are going to be broadcast live one hour prior to kickoff, with no announcers.

Looks like it'll be a rainy, windy game for the Packers and Seahawks. Winds are supposed to be between 15 and 25 mph during the game, with wind gusts up to 60 mph. Could affect the kicking game, and also the passing game.

So I just realized that the Packers have a QB named Rodgers who throws to a TE named Rodgers. The Seahawks have a QB named Wilson who throws to a TE named Wilson.

This is almost as weird as the battle of the 12s.

And both teams have famous songwriters: Richard Sherman and Richard Rodgers.

I don't know what was better...the touchdown or the two point conversion.

 

[Clamman73]

omg

 

[flynnibus]

That was destiny...

 

[Zweiland]

That was AMAZING.

I'm speechless.

We beat ourselves. Outplayed Seattle in every phase of the game, but we couldn't pull it together when it counted most. Way too conservative in the second half on both offense and defense. Once again we blew it in the playoffs. Just wasted the best team we've had in McCarthy's time. Knew it was too good to be true.

Go Pats. Get to the Super Bowl and beat those Seahawks.

Ugh, do you really want Tom Brady to get another ring? At this point, I'll take anyone but the Patriots...

I'm not a big Andrew Luck fan. And the Pats probably have a better chance at topping Seattle than the Colts.

Out coached and outplayed on those final Seahawks possessions. It takes a full game, but "splash" plays as carol calls them usually are the difference maker.

The packers made mistakes on that fake fg and onside kick. But they flat out got outplayed on the two TDs..

So on the onside kick, Bostick admits that he was actually supposed to block and let Jordy Nelson catch the ball. That's why Matthews for the Seahawks was left open to recover Bostick's botched attempt. And the frustration continues... just do your job.

Broncos close to finalizing deal to make Gary Kubiak their new head coach.

The Falcons plan to hire Dan Quinn after the Super Bowl.
