At some point you actually have to make a big throw when it matters to win a game. Hasn't happened too much over the last 10 years. [Reply]
Tampa has a better chance against the Packers, so this at least gives us a better matchup next week. I don't think Brees could handle the cold weather at all. [Reply]

True. Also there's no way that Tampa is beating the Chiefs with a healthy Mahomes unless there's some massive refereeing fix in favor of System Tom. We should probably be rooting for them to win next week. [Reply]

He entered this game with 36 playoff TDs and 12 INTs. Average of 307 YPG. We're not talking about Alex Smith here. Brees has made plenty of big plays in the playoffs before. The defense has let him down more often than not.
Tonight was the exception but he's an old man who hasn't looked as impressive the last few years. [Reply]
All touchdowns off of turnovers. TD drives of 40, 20, and 3 yards. Yet, I'm sure Brady will get all the credit even though he couldn't sustain an actual drive to save his legacy. I don't understand why Nickelodeon can get a game but we couldn't put that one on Comedy Central for the joke it was. [Reply]

As much as I hate to, I guess it's better to root for Tampa next week. I'd much rather face Brady than Rodgers in the Super Bowl. [Reply]
