Congrats, Brownies! I know that had to feel good. Didn’t have you for much in the confidence pool, but I had you! Forte, crap, how many times can a guy stand getting folded backwards? SF/NO, another awesome matchup. Can’t imagine SF not being in the big bowl. ---

You can’t imagine a team that switched quarterbacks in the middle of the season not making the Super Bowl? I can. ---

It was a pass to Ray Rice that traveled about 4 yards in the air. The other 25 yards were almost all Rice - a big block from Boldin sprung him for the last 3. ---

Justin Tucker (as a Giants’ fan, his name always causes me to do a double-take) is lining up to give Baltimore the win with a 38-yard FG. And…it’s good. ---

Cool, the Falcons, Dolphins, 49ers and Ravens separated me from the masses this week. Good on ya! Killer for college too. Thanksgiving weekend fucking rocks. ---

**Nerd** -Miami would need to run the table. For that matter, _theoretically_, it 12 for 6 in the NFC. (IOW-Teams with fewer than 7 loses are still kicking) ---

If St. Louis could just play a schedule of only NFC West teams they would go 15-0-1. 😃 ---

Yeah, but Miami still has to play home and away against NE and in San Francisco this year - I don’t see them winning any of those. The AFC WCs are going to be Indy and whoever ends up second in the North - Cincy if Roethlisberger doesn’t come back at full strength, Pittsburgh if he does.
