Damn Carr's injury doesnt look good. The Patriots' path might have just gotten easier.

I'm very upset. I was rooting for the raiders.

 

[GBO18]

What a catch by Cooper. Probably just sealed it for the Raiders.

 

[tumscalcium]

Unbelievable. Hauschka used to be money.

 

[508mikey]

Jets suck

 

[vols 30]

He's ridiculous. Best in the NFL, bar none, IMO

Antonio Brown

 

[508mikey]

The Flight Crew is gotta be why guys go to Jets games

 

[NashVol11]

Antonio Brown

Nah. I'll take Julio

The Bengals Texans game is rough. Offense is nowhere for both teams.

Bengals kicker Randy Bulluck had a chance at redemption at the end against his old team, only to instead show everyone why the Texans cut him.

Le'Veon Bell > Antonio Brown

 

[NashVol11]

I swear Max Garcia just said he went to "Flordia." Anyone else catch that?

The Chiefs are playing great tonight.

The Chiefs are playing great tonight.

Them and the Steelers are the only team in the west that I can see possibly beating the Pats.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Field is going to be one big divot by the 4th quarter.

The Chiefs and Steelers both have a decent chance to beat New England, though it is hard to bet against Brady and Belicheck. Oakland has no chance now that they have lost Carr.

I think the Steelers are the only real threat. Oakland would have been my second choice behind the Steelers if Carr doesn't go down. I don't think the Chiefs have the offense to beat NE.

Agreed. I think Pats-Steelers for the AFC Championship is almost a foregone conclusion. But I actually think the Steelers win

 

[Boston Vol]

Dontari Poe for the win.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Surprised to see UT in the segment on turf development.

Tom Brady is hard enough, but they are first in defense this year, and even though that may be the benefit of an easy schedule, they still have a top 5 defense. I actually think there are more teams in the NFC that could have given the pats trouble.

Broncos have scored 23 points in 3 weeks and 7 of them came off a 6 yard drive

They may be first in yards or something, but in DVOA their defense is 19th, and 5th of the 6 AFC playoff teams. It's actually part of why I think they'll lose to Pittsburgh.

Oh, first in points against. That is somewhat meaningful to me, but I still don't think of them as a dominant shutdown defense. They're beatable IMO

Their defense is still solid. Between all the teams with a great quarterback this year, I would say Brady has the best defense to complement him, making the Patriots the most complete team.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I think the steelers can do the do.
