Thought the Saints were close, then they stumble, same for the Rams, Vikings and other potential contenders. Rams have a lot of young talent and a talented young coach. If they can play D they should be tough in the years to come.
We'll find out about the Rams next week. Would be nice to see them beat your Hawks.

LOL, much tougher at home, but the Skins beat us at home a few weeks ago which says a lot about where we are at. Generally the Hawks play to the level of their opponent so should be a decent game. Would not be surprised if we get beat. Not to into it this year. We need a rebuild. Line is improving, but D is old. Just Meh....

I am excited for the college bowls

I wouldn't write off my Vikings just yet, and the Keenum or Bradford debate sort of reminds of Brady or Bledsoe in their seminal year so that might bode well for us, esp if we go on to face them at home in the SB. With Wentz out we have a great shot this year.

I had to "opt in" for playoff tickets today for my Jag seats. Strange year indeed.

Great defenses always have a chance to go far. They are #3 in overall defense and #7 in offense That combo definitely has a solid chance.

Indeed, but I think our defense is a bit overrated, esp against the run, but pass offense is where we hope to make up for it, which is hard when you go deep in the playoffs.

I haven't been in the US, for about a decade, why is that? I remember seats being pretty pricey for decent views.

He’s talking garbage seats in small markets.

I remember when the Pittsburgh Pirates stunk and the economy was crumbling in the area late 70's early 80's one could get free tickets to the games. And they still could only get several thousands at many games.

I’ve been given free tickets before, but with $40 parking, $12 beers and expensive food, it’s still far from cheap. I prefer the couch with a pause button the remote and the best view of the game.

It really has been a lot of fun. The last home playoff game was in 1999! Cheers.

Also some of the stadiums have horrible access. Try getting in and out of Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. You're stuck their for hours on top of a 3 hour game.

I love going to games. The group tailgate, getting to know the other season ticket holders in your area and all the emotions that go with following a team is worth all the hassle. It's expensive and time consuming but my family loves it.
