Unless it is a Panthers dynasty of course.

The change has been teams playing two high safeties to choke off big passing numbers. Your top tier qbs still produce though, and I do not think it will translate into an economic shift across positions in the league. The premium positions, qb, lt, pass rush, will still be the premiums.

There is still time to have them as double digit underdogs.

100% and the worst part of all that was it being predicated on the assumption they had the qb in place. I would not even be sure he plays next season now with how late this injury occurred. No matter what, Jones isn't going to be available next September.

The problem with that is that the Falcons look like they have called it a season.

Yeah. Tough end to what started out as a good story for him and the Colts.

Watching this game tonight for no other reason than to see the end of the Chiefs. Not sure if Houston has the muscle to shovel all that dirt on them though.

I saw a while back some WWE wrasslin' belts that were done in NFL logos and team colors. It might be a nice accessory for your trophy hoisting.

Daniels exited the game with some sort of elbow injury again.

Well just cancel everything since they don't want to play anymore. Just go on and cancel Christmas too for good measure.

Steelers just squeaked out a win over the Ravens with a sack on Lamar to close the game out.

Colts gave up 26 and 27 1st rounders IIRC for Gardner.

Complete squandering of his talent being on the Bengals.

UVa appears to have every intention of losing this game to unranked Duke.

IIRC the championship games came about when conferences started expanding, and divisions within the conference were created. I think in fact a conference had to have 12 teams in order to hold a championship game. Like most things in college football, it was a revenue-producer, because the conference could sell a championship game now as part of their tv package. The games are a bit unnecessary in this age of a playoff. They are not going to do away with it though as they still are revenue-producers.

I'm not compelled to believe UVa belongs in the conversation at all.

Finebaum has somewhat jokingly called the playoff "The Alabama Invitational."

Duke moving the ball at will. I guess the Spurrier achievement will be diminished a bit after tonight.

Everyone is giddy about the playoffs chance. Some corners of the internet are just about unbearable at the moment. It will pass.

Scarcity of other options mostly.

This game should be all Georgia, but..it probably won't play out that way.

No idea how TT would fare versus an OSU, but it would glorious if they won. Absolutely not a blueblood, and it's too bad Mike Leach isn't around to enjoy this run.

Eh. Even then I don't think it matters too much. Young is here for the next little while. I think we have to hope that he shows improvement and grows into the role, for lack of a better phrase. It beats the alternative of signing him to some big money qb deal and he stays much the same player as now, but at a significant cost increase, which unfortunately might be a very real possibility.

I don't think it matters too awfully much. The NFC South will only get 1 playoff team, the division winner.
