This weekend's set of games wasn't the best but does set up for a HUGE Championship Sunday. Should be good.

This weekend's football was so-so, but they can't all be winners like last weekend. Conference championship games should be hum-dingers though.

And I love me some garbage fantasty points. Had Rivers and Allen today. Will likely play Brady next weekend and I'm hedging Denver wins as I'm penciling in Manning in the Super Bowl.

Lots of work to be done between now and next Sunday for Denver.

Yeah I'm not a Broncos fan but I'll be cheering for them next weekend, unfortunately I don't think they are going to beat the Pats. Hope I'm wrong though.

Bykowski the only former Cyclone still on a roster/practice squad?

Guess I will cheer for him.

(Phil Bates is on the Seahawks PS, but I mean, ya know.)

I need to find a gif of the tantrum Philip Rivers threw on that Delay of Game penalty.

It's just...so beautiful. I love the second one with Ayers mimicking his little kick and sulk off the field.

You know I was hoping Denver would get a chance to beat the Chiefs a third time and end their season but vanquishing that punk Rivers is just as good

Our recent history vs NE isn't good but last time we hosted New England in the playoffs it was Denver beating New England and featured this play by Champ.

Thanks to Rulzzz and the internet for making this happen. Watching Phillip Rivers lose AND melt down was basically the only positive sports watching moment I had all weekend. Chargers vs. Pats was my worst case scenario for the AFC championship. Now I can at least pull for Peyton and the Broncos.

The only thing I can figure is that they had some set play going in where they would throw it to right side drawing the defense over and then chucking across the field to the left side. But once he caught it with his momentum taking him out of bounds he should have kept going.
So it turns out it was a set play they were trying to run.

New Orleans Saints say final play was planned - ESPN

Bykowski still wearing the red and gold. Go 49ers.
