Norris Camaro since you are so concerned about NFL head injuries maybe you should direct your energy toward alerting people about the dangers of cycling instead of football especially for children ages 14 and younger.

What have you done for the good of humanity other than be condescending on this forum?
Well good for you.

Now quit wasting precious time on a message board with us neanderthals and get out there and save the world.

I’m rooting for the Titans, but I think the Chiefs have this one

Here's my playoff predictions...

Titans/Chiefs - Chiefs
Falcons/Rams - Rams
Bills/Jaguars - Jaguars
Panthers/Saints - Saints

That's all I'll do for now, since I'm not sure what the next rounds matchups will be.

Then I'd go with...
Patriots, Jaguars, Saints, Minnesota
Jaguars, Minnesota
Jaguars

edit: As an added bonus, I'll add that the Vikings kicker will miss wide right on a potential game winning FG that could have won the game by two points.

Too soon! We need to win a Super Bowl, then we can look back and laugh at the missed oppurtunities.

The Vikings D is the best going into playoffs..

Honestly, if it came down to those teams I think it would be pretty even. Jaguars defense is also very good, reminiscent of the '13 Seahawks D...same scheme. I could see that game being very like the Patriots/Seahawks Super Bowl where it could have easily gone either way. So my scenario is plausible. I'm all for schadenfreude.

the Jags also have a strong defense. I think we may be deeper, and I think we may be improving. Our weakness will be (as you stated) field goals, and our offensive line - which has been okay, but going through some injuries. Our running game has been good enough, although most forget we are w/o our 2nd round pick Delvin Cook..he has been injured most of the season.

Speaking as a Minnesotan and Vikings fan for 41 years..if we lose by a missed field goal

Congrats to the Titans... and I absolutely hate them and the Adams family!

I am an old Luv Ya Blue fan! What they did to Houston... San Diego, Oakland, LA, Baltimore, St. Louis, you know my pain!

St. Louis??? I think you mean Los Angeles first!

I grew up in L.A. with the Rams...That'd be like you feeling sorry for Oklahoma City if the Sonics came back to Seattle where they belong.
