I want Tampa Bay to make the playoffs, simply because the spotlight, the stakes, and therefore enjoyment of watching Brady fail, are magnified. I also want him to play well enough that he comes back next season. AFC East plays that division, so we get to see the Bills vs him and NE vs Brady. I really look forward to having that experience of seeing Brady vs NE, especially since I couldn't tell you today who I would be rooting for.

As much as every fanbase (aside from NE) feels like their team has the most heartbreaking history, imagine being a Falcons fan for the past 5 years. You were an elite team for a few seasons. You finally get to the Super Bowl. You're winning 28-3 in the second half, and even after letting NE get to within 8 points, you drive the ball all the way down to their 20 something yard line with a couple minutes to go. A few plays later you could chip in a FG and go up 11, avoiding a historic meltdown. But we all know what happened: they threw the ball, which stopped the clock with an incomplete. Then they ran and got a holding penalty. Then "Matty Ice" got sacked and they didn't even get to try a FG. And then they imploded. It's like since the Super Bowl, every thing that could go wrong has. They have practically invented ways to lose in gut-wrenching fashion, like the RB accidently scoring a TD this season. And I say LOL after what they put America through in that Super Bowl!

Falcons find a little spark and get stuck with 2 years of Rah at HC

White!

Yet another stupid play

Nice play by Oliver there!

This team wants to lose this game

Stupid, stupid, stupid play to waste the great catch

Brown, Beasley and Diggs are all under contract for a bit too!

We have 4 good WR on this team!

Roberts has been making some exciting plays lately too! Davis!

That feels like a huge victory. Offense needs to score.

Klein has been making some plays today!

Oliver is melting down...

Bills are determined to lose this game

Allen's ankle is going to hurt tomorrow

That didn't look good but glad to see Allen back out there

Hail Tawmy?

Bucs are going to win this game... Rams can't move the ball at all

He actually got the completion on that due to the penalty being declined!

All that food but nobody to share it with

Agreed! You can still see some big hits, but honestly I don't miss seeing a SS like Atwater coming in like a heat seeking missile and practically decapitating a WR across the middle. I also like seeing the stars play more games and miss fewer due to injury. The game has evolved. It is still a physical game (far from a "Pro Bowl") but more like rugby, where there are hits and there is physicality but the stupid stuff where guys fly head first looking for the KO is becoming a thing of the past. Football is only going to continue to grow in popularity with the rise of new stars. Remember when there was a legitimate worry about who the next batch of QBs would be after the Favres, Mannings, Bradys, etc. retired? No issue there: we have tons of exciting, young QBs that are leading teams into the future. Also, few other sports allow for the teams that have been down to get back up. Teams that weren't traditionally strong have a shot at becoming the new power teams in the league. BUF, CLE, CIN, ARZ are just a few that were down and out for most of the past decade (or more) but have a real shot at winning consistently for a while. All of a sudden KC went from a mediocre team to a super team, mostly because of 1 player.

I think this is it.

If you hit on a few picks per year you'll have a good team. If you win the lottery and hit on 4-5 picks in a couple drafts in a row you are an elite team.

They just have zero talent on offense at the skill positions... It's like they are determined to give the QB zero help. I'm fine with it, but it's crazy!
