    Vikings fans love their team and for once, they finally caught a break in the last minute. There's been so many times in which they've choked away (usually a kick) an opportunity to win in the playoffs.

    I am with George, however I am also taking a break from my not watching the NFL to watch through the playoffs and Super Bowl.

    I am pulling for Jacksonville and the Vikings at this point.

    That was an incredible and unbelievable ending to the Vikings - Saints game. I was pulling for the Saints but it was a very interesting game.

    Good game between the Pats and the Jags, in the end though the Jags were just hanging on. They got a terrific take away in the 2nd half and rather than doing something with it, they went 3 and out. They made a few good plays on offense but nothing consistent in the 2nd half. They kept running the ball, I guess that's a good thing but it forced a lot of 3rd and 9's and Bortles kept throwing 7 yd completions.

    I don't know if the Pats have any pro bowlers on the OL, but Brady had all day to sit there and throw and his receivers made some terrific catches. Amendola is a Houston area kid who went to Texas Tech. He made Brady look good today with his catches of balls that weren't all that well thrown.

    Next up Vikings and Eagles Here's hoping the Case Keenum miracle keeps on going.

    Well Case Keenum miracle has turned into his worst nightmare. Oh well he was a good story for awhile.

    Eagles vs Patriots... Fly Eagles Fly!

    And the ones that weren't caught the refs threw flags. 6 times the penalties on the Jags and over 9 times the penalty yardage.

    Eagles open as big underdogs to the Pats, not surprising.

    While I was hoping for a Jags/Vikings game, I do think the 2 best teams ended up in the game.

    Go Igles! My wife's uncle, a Philly native, was a huge fan. With his accent, that's how he pronounced the team name. :D

    Well it's Super Bowl Week....biggest sporting event of the year.

    Naturally I'm rooting for the Eagles. I remember the Norm Van Brocklin/Chuck Bednarick team that won it all in 1960. It was the only playoff loss in Vince Lombardi's career according to the article that I read.

    I hope the heaters are working in that beautiful stadium that they have in Minneapolis!

    Fly Eagles!

    I don't think that heaters are much of an issue. US Bank stadium is an indoor one.

    I see that some idiot on WEEI called out Tom Brady's daughter on the air...what kind of man calls out a 5 y/o on the air or anytime really?
    Brady showed some class handling the situation. Too bad this idiot doesn't even know how to spell class.

    Why is Brady putting his daughter on tv? These people amaze me.
