    biggest call of the game was the rams going for it on 4th & goal.

    look what happens when you don't play like a p***y.

    Saints are 1 seed, Rams would go to New Orleans. (Rams would host Eagles.)

    I'm honestly not even mad tonight. The Rams controlled the line of scrimmage all night long. They deserved the win. Credit to them.

    I have to give Garrett credit, too, the guy clearly learned from that awful decision against the Texans early in the year. Every time he went for it on 4th down was 100% the correct call.

    I thought the play calling was pretty good all night too. I didn't like the call on the 4th and 1 stop by the Rams, but only because they brought literally EVERYONE inside on that play. There were people that have never watched football before that knew where that play was going. Other than that one, I liked the calls.

    There was one thing that frustrated me though (other than our D-Line getting destroyed). We got the ball back with 7:10 left, down 15, and we jog it down the field. It took 5 minutes to score. They wasted so much time in-between plays just walking around or waiting at the line of scrimmage. That drove me nuts.

    Dak could have faked the hand-off, spun, and ran to either sideline to get the first down probably. That would have been a good call given everyone was inside.

    I'm mad at the defense for getting smoked all night. It was like the boys versus the men tonight. They got beat badly.

    You're right on both. Dak keeper would have been a great call.

    Also, the sign of a bad D-Line is when the linebackers are getting blocked on every play. That means the DTs are getting blocked one-on-one and losing every play.

    It sucks because it pretty much hasnt happened all year (except the Colts game).

    Reid and Mahomes would struggle too if Texans and Chiefs swapped O-lines. I do think Mahomes has an edge over Watson.

    I really want New Orleans to beat the Eagles today. I would love nothing more than Los Angeles to whip up on them just like they did them boys to the north.

    I actually don't care who wins the Eagles game since both QBs have already won a SuperBowl. If I picked geography, I would go for New Orleans over Philly. Better food, better people, and our Texas neighbors. If I picked QBs well, you can't go wrong with either. After all, they are both Texans, and both nice guys. I guess the only plus I have for Foles is that he can't seem to get the starting job, even though he won a SuperBowl last year, and is leading his team again under the same kind of circumstances. A part of me wants him to be the only backup QB to win 2 consecutive SuperBowls.

    I’m sure they’re nice people and all, but I wouldn’t mind seeing all their fans take I 10 east or I 45 north

    I hope the Chargers beat down New England in front of their home town crowd today.

    If the Chargers do win, then at least the QB for the AFC will be going to their first SuperBowl. I have to admit though, I hate that the Chargers moved to LA, and that San Diego fans lost their team, and don't get to enjoy this now. I am so sick of LA having two teams in every sport. San Diego had a great stadium and fans, and a lot of military down there who enjoyed going to games. I watched the Oilers play the Chargers there when I was in the Navy. Warren Moon vs Jim McMahon, where I sat in the stands with my blue Pom Pom and big Love Ya Blue foam finger and my pretty baby blue Oilers jacket. What a great day that was away from my Navy duties on base. Those were the days you bought tickets at Ticketmaster by walking into a record store and I screwed up paying for good seats down by the players bench, but didn't think to ensure it was the "away team". Ugh, so I sat up above the Chargers, instead of being by my team. At least we won though.....haha.

    I’m for the Houston Texans through and through. I don’t like that the city I love/live in is inundated with saints and cowboys fans. Traffic is already bad enough. ;)

    LOL! Gotcha. Yeah, I've always been Houston team too!! Oilers, Texans, UofH, Comets, Astros. Don't watch soccer much.

    So, get what you mean about Houston locals who root for other teams. It's hard for me to to get excited about Playoffs and SuperBowls when it's not my team, because all the thrill is gone. I enjoy rooting against teams I hate though, such as Dallas, but now that they are out I don't care much. If I had to choose who I would want to win I could make a case for Mahomes, just to see him have a season like no NFL QB ever had, for Foles to do what no backup ever did, or for Rivers to finally win after all his years as a QB. But, I won't be shedding any tears for any of them, simply beacause they don't play for Houston. Maybe next year!

    OMG! I didn't even think about that. A part of me wants them both to lose now, just because I hate LA teams. But, Rivers over Brady would be nice.

    I’ve loved the Rams since I can remember. I remember watching them in the Super Bowl against the Steelers on my black-and-white TV in my bedroom. I’m an Aries, so when I saw those helmets when I was a kid for the first time, I fell in love immediately.

    I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Rams ever since Warren Beatty played quarterback for them. ;)

    Well...that and Eric Dickerson when he ran for them.

    I was wearing my HOF Eric Dickerson away jersey last night. Signed by Eric Dickerson. He was my favorite all-time running back.
