No He'll win it and come back for more!

Db on that pass was close but his reaction was just as bad as the Rams db on the Ginn catch.

Chiefs need to make some serious defensive adjustments at halftime. They are getting no pressure on Brady and their run defense is awful!

Chiefs D is bending a little too much.

That nauseous feeling that the Pats look like they might make another SB, uggghhh.

OMG are u Nostradamus?

Chiefs D is getting worked here, time to step up or this game may slide away.

Well as outrageous as the Non call on the PI was, it was a great game. The Rams hung with them despite all the early breaks going the Saints way. Its really too bad that such a compelling game between 2 great teams was ruined by poor officiating but the sloppy officiating was a theme all night. There were lots of little plays incorrectly called all through this game. In the 4th the refs missed a partial facemask on Goff that should have been a first down and TD. Rams would have been up 4. Then the terrible chop block call on the Rams after a really clutch punt pushed the Saints back. All setting up possibly the worst Non call of the season and maybe the worst Non call on PI ever at the end. This is a billion $ league with amateurish standards of officiating performed by out of shape old men. It makes no sense at all.

Wow one of the worst PI's I have ever seen. Inept refs miss it. Yup a true all star officiating crew here!

As Berman and Jackson used to say on NFL Primetime "JUST KNOCK IT DOWN". Rams Db there should have done better, clutch catch from Ginn!

It slowed him down enough to stop him from scoring and is an illegal play in a huge situation. The refs just missed the call. And I'm not complaining about the game, its awesome.

Nice partial facemask on Goff. should have been first and goal.

Wow that is a huge call vs the Rams for a chop block and it wasn't a chop block!

Whats scary is that this is the ref all star team!

The refs have missed a lot in this game. I'm glad the Rams got the TD anyway.

That was a TD by the Rams!! refs clueless!!

I think the Chiefs defeat the Pats today only because the Pats are away from home. That tends to lessen Brady somewhat, and diminish their offense. It also plays a factor in keeping the officials in line because you know if the Pats are home they are getting every BS and ticky tack call in the rule book and not in the rule book. The final factor that will stop a Pats victory is the Bon Jovi and Kraft "livin on a prayer" singalong wont be able to happen. Judging from last weeks game this infused the entire Pats team with superpowers to drub the hapless Chargers. As for the Saints/Rams. To me Brees has not looked good for the last few weeks. There is something up with his arm/shoulder or maybe he's just worn out. I think the Rams take it.

Yes Kelly took several vicious shots from the Steelers in that game. On that hit he took a helmet spear to the upper body side while being crushed by another player from the front. Jim was a tough customer no doubt just to get up, let alone come back. Another observation I had to go along with yours was that even though the game was much more physical, the opposing players would still help each other up off the field. You don't see that very often anymore.

Because I'm a masochist, I watched the Bills Steelers game from 1995 just now. After watching the game, I can only conclude my brain must have blotted out the painful memory. What an absolute mess that game against the Steelers was!!! I would honestly say apart from the SB losses vs the Redskins and Dallas #1, it is probably one of the Bills worst playoff performances. The Bills performed a total choke job. Thurman Thomas fumbled at a crucial point in the red zone, A high snap on a punt by the Bills led to easy pts, Lots a bad Kelly throws and INTs. In addition the Bills defense (which was good that year) was slapped around by the Steelers. Even on the O'Donnell INT the Bills player should have had a easy pick 6 but inexplicably drops the ball on the return and is tackled by a fast as molasses O line man. Biscuit also dropped an easy pick 6. The icing on the cake was the incredibly poor officiating which gave the Steelers a pass TD where the receiver had 1 foot in bounds as well as a bunch of other terrible calls. All with the added benefit of NO video replay reviews or challenges because the NFL got rid of it during that time period. And no Bruce Smith = no pass rush on the mediocre O'Donnell. Just a complete disaster !!

I can remember after this game feeling really stoked about our chances to returning to another SB. Perhaps I was a little delusional but the team still looked really good and I thought the Steelers were posers. The following week, the Bills fell apart and were beaten by the Steelers in a mistake filled game without Bruce Smith (who mysteriously fell ill). That game against the Steelers to me was really the end of the dynasty. Even though they failed to make the playoffs the year before in 94/95 and lost to the Jags (in Kelly's last game) the next year in 96/97 WC , the beat down vs the Steelers in 95/96 was a changing of the guard. Not only did we not win another playoff game after the Dolphins victory, but never again did I feel that overwhelming confidence going into a playoff game like I did in the Kelly years again.

I often think when I see these monster lineman playing such a physically demanding sport that they must be teetering so close to a heart attack even when they are in playing shape. I cannot imagine how hard life must be a decade after retirement for your heart and other organs. The NFL really needs to do a better job taking care of its alumni.

Yes that's true, Peyton looked geriatric in that last season with the Broncos!

With the exception of a couple of plays, Gronk looked last week about 10% of the star that he used to be. Amazingly even at 10% he was still better than Clay and Benjamin. I'm not sure that I have ever witnessed such a "fall off the cliff decline" in such a short period. Has anyone declined that fast in the NFL the past 20 years? I cannot think of anyone even close.

The Chargers were one of the worst prepared teams I have ever seen yesterday. Their game plan was absolutely idiotic. Did they really think that not pressuring Brady would work? And when the game plan was obviously unravelling, Lynn and co made no adjustments. Just some blank stares and mouths agape at the ass whooping they were receiving. It really infuriates me when people gush about Bellichick when all that guy has to do is rely on his opponents like Lynn or Quinn in the SB to just make one moron mistake after another. Then just let the GOAT Brady do the rest.

Yes at first glance it looked like a terrible kick but on the replay it just missed the Rams player. It really could have worked with a little luck!
