Barring a shit hole miracle, that was some brilliant D by TEN.  In design and execution.  It wasn't just BAL being rusty.  TEN had answers for almost everything BAL tried to run.

And Henry is the new Megatron.

Enjoy watching the Titans prove you can still win playoff games with sound special teams, good D that forces some turnovers, and running the ball. Tannehill with less than 100 yards passing 2 weeks in a row while winning as road dogs. Getting hot at the right  time and having Derrick Henry as your feature back doesn't hurt either.

Things are shaping up well for the Packers on the AFC side. The Patriots are out, the best team in the AFC (Baltimore) is out. The Packers already beat KC, albeit without Mahomes. Nobody is afraid of Houston, and how long can the Titan’s luck last?

Take care of business tomorrow against the Seahawks. Then somehow figure out a way to get revenge on the No-ners.....maybe MLf should ride a Harley to the SF game (if they make it).  

13-3!  A magical season!

Has a head coach ever won a SB in his first season?

I’m excited! Vikings suck! Bears suck! It’s our year again! Get used to it! 

Man, who saw that coming in Baltimore?
I didn't give the Titans much of a chance, but....damn!

Now thinking a matchup with KC is intriguing.
Of course, that means I'm not giving the Texans much of a chance. One would think that last night's game proves that to be risky...

The 12 highest scoring teams in NFL history have 0 championships.


 Guess Defense still really does win Championships.

Yeah, well, if Tramon doesn't lose an arm, and Nick Collins doesn't suffer a career-ending neck injury, this gets thrown out the window. The Packers had the #2 scoring defense in the NFL in 2010 when they won it all. If the Packers have even a decent pass defense, they win it all going away. 

Collins, Williams and the drowning death of Coach Phillbin's son less than a week before the game are all one needs to point to about how that season ended. The Packers, healthy, run circles around Eli Manning and the Giants. 

The Niners are the elephant remaining in the room. My pick before the playoffs started was a Super Bowl between the Ravens and Saints. I'd have bet money that at least one of them made it to the big game. Neither got so far as their respective Conference Championship.

I'm not taking anything for granted. But if this Packers team goes on a revenge tour the next two weeks-making up for the 2014 NFC CG and our embarrassing loss to the Niners earlier this year, it's there for the taking. But I'm focused 100% on tonight's game.

Don McCafferty  Super Bowl V

George Seifert    Super Bowl XXIV

Seifert just sort of sat back in the 49er recliner and drank Stingers all season long, running the Walsh play book, with the talent he had on that 49er team. Not a difficult feat, by any means.

Let's beat the Hags, then we can talk how we're going to beat SF. First things, first! GO PACK, GO!!!

I can't remember ever being this calm before a Packer playoff game. Not joking in the least.

Don't forget Barry Switzer with Dallas. I think he did it too.

The one thing though is those coaches already had a team built for them to win. Packers weren't in the playoffs the last 2 seasons.

What adult beverages are you drinking?  Could you send some of them my way? 

It's all about edibles 😂 out here in Cali.... However I'm simply drinking Ethiopian coffee sans any alcohol. 

Have to drive later today. I'm seriously calm. Calm before the storm that's about to hit Seattle right in the mouth.

Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth.

Sorry, not into edibles or smoking stuff.  My history of smoking was the semester I spent studying in St. Peterburg, Russia, where everybody smoked like a chimney and I got enough secondhand smoke to last more than a lifetime.

Not too surprised that Tenn beat Bal but the way they did it was a little surprising. They really have the look of a team of destiny this year. KC/Hou better bring their A game next week. 

And the Vikings. Color me not surprised at all.

I thought that too, but Barry whiffed his first season in Dallas. Year two is when he got out of his own way and won the SB with Jimmie Johnson’s players.
