Go Bucs. Prove just how utterly meaningless the regular season is anymore. You're my guys.

Not that I watch but what is the NBA now? 20 teams make the playoffs? You play 82 games to eliminate 1/3 of the teams.

The closest to that was the 2011 Giants, I believe. They went 9-7 and are the worst Super Bowl champion in my lifetime.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Brady pull out some magic.. but I think the Bucs get stomped. They've been getting bailed out all season long, sneaking by teams they should have lost too.. and that magic runs out this weekend.

I don't know who wins. I think the Bills look shaky and have too many defensive injuries. Not sure about Hurt's shoulder. Don't like Dallas or the Giants or the Vikings.. Probably have to go with KC. I dont see the Bengals beating them again, and they got the bye.

Total tossup this season. Just don’t see the Bucs winning. They honestly haven’t looked good at any point this season. Historically teams with lesser records that make a run enter the playoffs hot. The Bucs are not that team and this isn’t the great Brady of old. Very average QB at his age, which is still incredibly impressive.

We know he's done with the Bucs at the end of this season but do you think he retires or goes somewhere else? I could see the Raiders maybe or Dolphins? I don't know.

He'll do what he did with the Pats: Leave a team that's struggling, to go to a team that just needs a QB.

He won't go to Las Vegas as that team is ***, and no amount of friendship with McDaniels will matter. Tampa lost a lot of it's top talent after last year and they won't be getting better, so that's out.

It's going to be San Fran, as all they need is a QB. Miami I guess could be up there, but he doesn't want to have tough AFC East competition now that it's finally gotten better as a conference.

Make no mistake, Brady isn't going anywhere that's challenging or close to home/family.. he's going to try and find the easiest path to another ring. That's what he did with the Bucs.

I’d remove San Fran from that mix. I think they are pretty excited about their QB situation.

Brady will have a tough time finding a home on a contender. Not saying it won’t happen, but it won’t be as easy as it may have been in the past.

Any chance a team less than .500 could win the bb title this year?

Cats could get back in this thing.

Could be right. They do have three seemingly capable guys.. and I'm sure they could trade them for even more pieces to put around the QB. I also would not want to pay Brady some crazy salary if I'm San Fran.

If I'm the GM, my thought is that this team can win now regardless, and we can't sacrifice other pieces just so we can pay Brady $30 million (or whatever the number is). You want that easy title? Take the league minimum, we'll put talent all around you.

.. and I can't believe I'm saying this, but could the Jets be a darkhorse contender for him? There's a ton of reasons it makes no sense.. but they are probably one of the few teams that just needs a QB. I personally don't want him unless he's next-to-free..

Completely agree he needs to basically be free. I’m not an expert, but I’ve watched him quite a bit this season and I truly don’t think he’s a guy that will win games for you anymore. He’s in a steep decline as anyone would be at his age. The arm strength, accuracy, and poise just aren’t there like they used to be.

He’s not this bad, but he’s beginning to remind me of Manning at the end. That guy couldn’t throw the ball 10 yards in last half season. Lucky he had a historically stacked defense to carry him all the way in Denver.

Yep, and he absolutely needs a quality team around him, at all positions. I just saw a Facebook post how the Raiders are going all in on him... Josh McDaniels, AFC West, no defense, nothing else outside of Jacobs and Adams (who may be leaving anyways).. he would get destroyed there.

Bengals will beat the Bills, but the Chiefs will get their revenge on the Bengals. That's my prediction. And the NFC doesn't matter much because the superbowl is most likely going to the AFC this year.

Was Pittsburghs Super Bowl win over Seattle - the lowest ceded team to do that?

They were like 9-7 and a
wildcard team that year --

KimoVon Olhaffen ended the Bengals QB career in the wildcard game I THINK

Beat the a strong Colts team on the road

Dismantled Jake Plummers Denver team at Mile High
