Divisional Round Gamethread

Weather Underground says current Foxborough temp is 24, will fall to 20 by 11:00. Winds in the 10-12 mph range.
I actually did some touch-up painting outside today, and it was decidedly colder in the late afternoon than when I started.

All week the forecast I saw was warm in the day then cold and icy at gametime. It's not icy so it was wrong.
The high today was supposed to be 45-55. It was. It just happens to be 30 degrees colder than that right now.
Ain’t that the point?
Cold “front” implies movement don’t it?
I’m more interested in wins and precipitation (for pass rush conditions) anyway, because that’s what Brady says he cares about.
As Lone Star said, “Cold don’t bother me...”
With A Brown a decoy, L like Jax-- and I love that for the Pats.
TB12 has his weapons back, and Bortles is a joke.

Where are you writing this from? Atlanta is over 50% black.
Edit: are you making a confederacy reference?
From Reddit:
"Season on the line, what play you want coach?
Figure we'll flank our deaf full back out wide then run QB Sprint right so we make sure to cut off half the field.
Got it!!"
Sarkisian is lucky the Colts Pat Mcafee fourth down disaster versus the Pats exists, otherwise last night's play would have been in the running for all time dumbest play in NFL history.

Still can’t believe they never ran or tried Coleman in the flat. Just an epic Atlanta-sized fail.
And somehow Ryan's decision to underhand the ball to Terron Ward at eye level gets forgotten. What an utter disaster that series was.
Yeah, it's sort of funny that after an entire pregame devoted to how the SB loss had made this year's Falcons team smarter and more resilient they drove the field but then, when the game was on the line and victory was right in from of them, their play-calling and execution just disintegrated. Again.
Matt Ryan was 1-18 this season passing to Julio Jones in the endzone. Atlanta was garbage in the redzone all season and it cost them a playoff game.
Every time Roethlisberger gives an interview, allI can think is 'fraud fraud fraud fraud fraud.'
And even that throw was a bad one that Malcolm Butler nearly intercepted. Jones just made a terrific play to take it away.
I think he will play and disappear quickly, like Bell last year. If they can at least draw Ramsay away from someone else for a while, I think they will.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see some sort of scuffle in pregame warmups between Jags and Steelers.
Anyone who needs to kill a little time, they have an excellent 16-minute game-recap video of Eagles-Falcons up on NFL.com. Every play that mattered on every drive.
When BB saw that the Pittsburgh game was first today, is there any doubt he said to himself "perfect, an extra three hours to prepare for our opponent."
I can't be the only one who thought this.

That play call sucked, it was doomed from the start; season on the line and you pin your hopes on a desperation heave into the end zone by Ryan off his back foot. Even if that is caught (and he double clutched on the jump and should have had it), he's out of bounds there. He got mugged in the end zone too and no flag.
Great job by Foles in that game; did he throw a completion longer than 10 yards, and forget about throws with big YAK, he sucks and the Falcons let him dink and dunk them all game long.
No wonder why Saban wanted to commit a homicide on Sarkisian, his play calling was awful, one TD all game long, that one came after the muffed punt, what was that, a whopping 20 yard drive?
Another pretender gets bounced.
Imagine these bozos get to host the NFCCG running a 1970's high school offense.
btw, I maintain that the game yesterday was f'ing epic. Just because you didn't appreciate it while it was going on doesn't mean you can shit all over it and be correct.
(the Titans curbstomping, meanwhile, was a very competitive quarter of NFL footbaw...)
Yeah Bortles! Blake Snake Moan
Edit: Meant to also say Philly Falcons was an awesome game
