Rams lost to the Panthers and Falcons in the reg season, 2 teams we beat. We can beat them.
Hawks lost to TB, a team we beat.
Can't say what will happen based on other games, but we can beat either of those teams.
Stafford is great, but he's had a lot of shaky moments.
Darnold is Darnold, could implode at any given moment.

Except the part where Rams beat Panthers in single elimination playoffs. Kind of made the regular season a tad meaningless.

Darnold will fail. Didnt I hear he threw 6 ints in both games? I'll check
 
So, wow, can't help but wonder whether they'd have to push this game back a couple of days at least if we won HFA.

The NFL really dodged a bullet in terms of the games being played out west.

It's 6:30 a.m., less than 9 hours bruh.
 
Question for history buffs: my brain is a little fuzzy. We Won Two AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh in 2005 and 2017. I remember one of them being while we had a Snow Storm here *storm arriving soon* . Which year was it exactly?? Would be nice if we duplicate the feeling: we all will be home tomorrow happy or a little sad. Hopefully not the latter.

The AFC championship games we won in Pittsburgh were played in January 2002 and 2005. The one in January 2017 was in Foxboro.

The blizzard of 2005 is likely what you’re thinking of. So that was this game: AFC Championship - New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers - January 23rd, 2005 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
 
Ok I'm ready: this Defense Stifled Justin Herbert a Franchise QB and destroyed CJ Stroud an average QB. Let's not put Stiddy in Canton MA yet: not even in a Dopple Ganger Universe Denver can win this. IF Maye protects the Football we should win by Three Scores.
 
Down here in PA it is supposed to dump 24” or more on where I live today, with peak snowfall during the game. Gonna try to take a break from continuously clearing snow all day to watch, but feels like there’s a good chance we will lose power… Hopefully not!!
 
Less than 8 hours fckers!!!!

You two need to have a little faith that this veteran Patriots coaching staff knows what it's doing. There WILL be times where Campbell has to hold his own, but rest assured he'll get as much assistance as can be afforded depending on the play.

That is remarkably measured response.

I’ve been wondering the same thing! Not sure how it is in Mass but here in Pa they’re basically saying do not leave your house today

Wow, that’s about double what we’re supposed to get on the western end of pa. Be safe man
 
Wow. I just checked and we're supposed to get really minimal snow, but lots of wintry mix and freeze/melt/refreeze potential. But it'll be an ice event and I'm still not messing with it while I still have chips and avocado in the house.
 
Just north of the DFW Metroplex, We got over 2 inches of packed snow thanks to the sleet/ice that has come down intermittently over the past 12 hours.

I really hope they are able to establish and lean on the run. Josh has a tendency to not stick with it. I am sure the broncos are going to try and punch the ball out with rhamondre but the run game is the way for us to negate the pass rush.

Mickey D did stick with the run vs Houston with 36 attempts carrying the pigskin.

I totally agree with the run being the key to the pass as is usually so.

Praying those inconveniences don't happen to you and your family Ross.

I tell you this media has somehow turned Jarrod Stickhims ,as Maddog calls him , into Joe Montana meets Jeff Hostetler meets Joe Flacco.....

Its funny that you mention Hoeseltler.

This Pats team reminds of a Parcells SB team. He had very few Stars on his teams and IMO, these Pats are very similar. Remember Joe Morris from Ayer, MA? Played for the Syracuse Orange Mans? My father and Joes father worked for the USPS. They were buddies. When my parents had their wedding anniversary Joe Morris came to the house. Even though Joe was a Giant it was the proudest day of my Dads life. My neighbor back in Mass was from Forge Village, MA and a born and raised diehard Giants fan. He raised all his kids to be G men fans too.
