Nightmares the last two days...How can this garbage be happening? First the Crawford's Bambino Crime Family gets handed a fluke joke win on a diamond studded gold platter. Then the Seachickens get the same gift. Tell me I'm not awake. Tell me these two disgusting, undeserving teams didn't advance...

To be fair, Minnesota did not play to win. Bridgewater, who in my opinion is the worst of the black QBs starting in the league, did not engineer even one touchdown. Minny had many chances and settled for field goals. The "great" Adrian Peterson was also a huge dud today. Neither team really deserved to win but the Vikings really can only blame themselves.

Yes, these first 3 games have been excruciating...

Luckily in the last game either team winning is an improvement over the first three. Though even Kansas City winning isn't really that bad, with the big games by Kelce and Alex Smith. If KC won the Super Bowl, that would be much better then Seattle, Carolina, or Pittsburgh.

The Patriots may have their hands full next week. KC is the hottest team in the league, with 11 straight wins and is firing on all cylinders. Alex Smith continues to get better with age. He's an excellent runner; had a 60 yard run called back yesterday, and is a very smart and accurate passer. New England has played with fire by shedding White backups on both sides of the ball in favor of sumos and blacks everywhere on defense. It won't surprise me if they don't make it out of the AFC.

Well one thing to be happy about is that Seattle plays at Carolina next week, so one of them will be gone. I am hoping it will be Seattle that loses, because at least Carolina has Kuechly and Olsen.

Don't forget if they get past KC next week, they then will most likely have to go to Denver, where they've already lost. They definitely have an uphill climb.

I've watched all three games this weekend so far. It was surreal hearing all of the praise being heaped upon Alex Smith in the Chiefs win. Here is a player constantly derided and dismissed as a game manager, and all of a sudden he's finally getting his due. Excellent game by Travis Kelce as well. The Texans defense didn't really play that bad of a game considering they were on the field for the whole game because of the ineptitude of the offense.

The Chiefs did probably the best job I've seen anybody do in limiting J.J. Watt's impact. Also good to see Eric Fisher have a good game at LT, he's been on every DWF's and media whore's "bust list" in spite of injury and rapid improvement since. They're always searching for white busts to distract from the constant parade of highly-drafted black busts.

Nothing needs to be said that hasn't already about the Crawfords-Bungles game. Disapointing that A.J. McCarron didn't have a better game. It also further illustrated that the Steelers are nothing without their big cracka behind center, Roesthlisberger.

As for the Seahawks-Vikings game, so Bridgewater is a franchise quarterback? He has no mobility, and throws a terrible ball. Tebow was run out of the league for a similar throwing motion. Wilson, on the other hand, is competent within his system, and has an uncanny knack for turning crap into gold. I don't care for him, but he's still the best of the black quarterbacks.

It all depends on whether Brady can get the offense clicking with his full complement of overachieving lunch-pail carriers. If Edelman, Gronk and Amendola can get their catches and the Pats can build a lead, they should win. The Chiefs are a terrible come-from-behind team. If the Chiefs can take advantage of the awful supa-affletic Patriots defense early, it might be a tough game for New England.

If Big Ben can play, the Crawfords should take care of the Broncos, even at Mile High. I don't think that Peyton has much left in the tank.

It'll be interesting to see how much Ben was injured. Following the game, every time he was asked about the injury he answered, "We won the game, that's all that counts," which leads me to believe it might be a serious one. He could only throw very short passes when he came back into the game, the question will be whether or not he'll be able to throw it down the field by next weekend.

One black quarterback down, two to go. Like everyone else I am so tired of the lucky wins by the Seachickens. Last year against Green Bay and almost in the Super Bowl. Now we need our buddy Cam Newton to put them away. :sad:

He may have something left for this last playoff run. He got to rest his old body for over a month on the sideline, and he's got the added chip on his shoulder of being benched for those 4-5 weeks plus knowing this might be his last chance. Plus, he's got that Russell Wilson/Cam Newton/Kapernick black quarterback privilege thing going of having an excellent defense and a good run game. Which Brady and Aaron Rodgers never seem to enjoy.

Similar to the Bengals-Steelers game, both of these teams are as black as they come. And with horse-face Elway leading the front office, even the Broncos management is not much better than the horrific Rooney gang.

Rodgers takes a safety. He no longer has the luxury of running around waiting for a receiver to come open like he used to due to his cement-footed receivers.

Packers start the game with the Three Lead-Footed Amigos instead of Abbrederis and Janis. And again start Lendale White Jr. over the much more versatile James Starks.

The Cincy/ Pitts game may have had the best result possible. Another playoff loss by the AA coach that can't be blamed on Dalton and a possibly serious injury to Big Ben that would make it highly unlikely for the Crawfords to get very far.

Note that I am not happy Rothliesberger got hurt, he's a beast and practically willed the team to victory. Look how different the team was when he was out. When he retires that team will sink.

Cousins looks sharp. It's hard to feel bad for the packers after their neglect of incorporating Janis into the offense.

Abbrederis only had 328 yards in the Rose Bowl, how good can he be? After all, he is White. There are super athletes on his team that can obviously contribute much more to the offense's success. They may even at some point be able to get open or catch a ball when it's thrown to them. As the play by play announcers keep saying, "no one knows what is wrong with this Green Bay Packers offense."

Rodgers is so good. He is literally working with no weapons. Desean Jackson cost the skins 4 points with his lackadaisical failure to reach the ball over the pylon.

I know DeVonte Adams is no Jordy, but those last two catches and for the TD makes Rodgers job a lot easier. Those were clutch. 17 straight points for the Pack.
