I dont have much of a dog in these fights...

Kinda rooting for Darnold, but that varies by the hour of the day. 

I really dont care who represents on the AFC side with so many big name QB's out. Maybe a little bit of a root for Maye/Pats just cause I dont like Payton.  

All in all, nice diversion with football, but not the most interesting set of games for me today.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Definitely rooting for Darnold.
Not his fault they didn't try harder to keep him for another couple years.
He's a stand up guy. I do want to see if he can exorcise the demons of the Rams from last year.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Not really rooting for anyone in particular but I am picking the Pats vs Rams in the SB.

Every team left has won the Superbowl, go figure.

When I became a fan I absolutely knew we would win the Superbowl before the Rams, much less two other teams that weren't even in the league.

All teams have a Lombardi, so IDGAF

First game is tough to watch, not sure who I dislke more, the Pats or Payton. Hope Sammy plays well, but want Rams in NFC.

Against the Broncos, because I want Payton to have a horrible life.

Against the Seahawks, because obnoxious "12s" are part of my daily existence.

Basically, rooting for the Rams...because Stafford annoys me least of the other options.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I'm rooting for darnold.

If he flourishes and Seattle wins the blow back on Vikings front office will be payable.

conditions are good, winner goes to Superbowl. There's no excuses.

A lotta things are gonna be answered with whatever the final score is.

I gotta lean Seattle just cause I think they have the most complete roster of the final 4. 

But man...Gotta be so careful when division opponents meet in the playoffs. 

I dont think a Seattle blow-out would shock me, nor would a Rams win on the road. 

Didnt touch this one from a betting perspective. Pocketed very little with that Pats win earlier.

Nope. Just looking for good games, close games. I'm not rooting for or against Uncle Sammy, but Sean McVay annoys me slightly so if he can change the narrative for himself, good on him. I hate Sean Payton, but I also hate that New England probably has another great QB in the making...like they didn't have it great during the Tom Brady years. Nothing against Drake Maye, he's a great kid. Just wish he was playing for another franchise.

The game did not disappoint. 

Fwiw  had the Seahawks lost,  woollen's life would've changed in ways he couldn't  possibly have i fathomed.

Sean Payton screwed the pooch by not kicking that FG. Ridiculous for several reasons. But he was just 'giving the team the best shot to win' right by going for it on 4th down?? Dumbest thing ever. These coaches have lost their minds. To blow a chance like this is rough mentally to deal with for him, I'm sure. He admits he regrets not kicking it. The absolute grind to get back to the AFCC game is massive and no guarantees.

Agree...when he did that I was hoping it would come back to bite him in the face. And it sure did. My son said all his friends were ready to burn down the Stidham house, but that game was not his fault. If Payton kicks the field goal there, it's likely a tie and they might still be playing. Cuz nobody was moving the ball or kicking field goals once that blizzard started.

Yeah, I mean Stidham shit the bed the longer the game went on but its not his fault. I actually really liked Payton's playcalling in Q1, but the way the Denver D was playing and the incoming inclement weather, a 10 point lead would have changed New England's strategy much more than only a one score game. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy however ;)

Agreed. Unfortunately, Payton is a hell of a head coach (says through gritted teeth).
