That is just sad.

Atlanta could have its first Super Bowl... Manny Choke and Shanahan play calling!

The blame really falls on Dan Quinn, not Shanahan. Shit, he's the head coach - he can't tell his OC no?

You Tell It uPtoWnNy, Classic Choke, Dumb arsesssss!!!!

That's what happens when you have a defensive minded head coach who doesn't take charge and reign in his OC at a crucial point in the game. This isn't pre-season, it's the fucking Super Bowl. You may never get here again.

Yep, some say they will be back next year but it could be a long time or a very long time to get back to the SB....

With free agancy, injuries and strength of schedule, you don't know what'll happen year-to-year. The Patriots benefit from playing in a shitty division with inept teams that can't get out of their own way. Look at the QB situation with the Jets, Bills & Dolphins. It doesn't keep Belichick up nights.

Hope my Cowboys take their place next year!

They have to address the defense.

Giants priorities are O-line (especially left tackle), tight end and defensive end (not sure if JPP will be back). I want NO part of Adrian Peterson.

Victor Cruz is meeting with Carolina. Good luck to him.

Since Belichick arrived in New England, the Pats' divisional rivals have burned through about 23 head coaches. All of those teams have had fairly regular front office turnover as well.

NE benefits from coaching and managerial instability across the league, but ESPECIALLY so in their own division.

It could be anybody.

One of the big questions that will determine Dallas' 2017 is: "How will the league's coaches adjust to the Cowboys' offense now that there's plenty of film on Prescott?" If Romo is cut, that means that the Cowboys better hope Zak doesn't have a sophomore slump. But as a Washington fan, I'm pulling for it.

The Jints' O-Line issues never seem to be resolved. Defensively, they spent a ton of money so I don't know if they can afford a quality edge rusher.

Outside the WR/TE corps, Washington has issues across the board. Until they bolster their front seven, they're looking at 8 and 9 win seasons as the plateau.

Tom Brady's suspect board on who took his Jersey. I would also add to the board the Joker, Penguin, Cat Woman, the Riddler and CarrieCee.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed they can work things out with JPP.

There is no question WR Antonio Brown is a key piece to the Steelers' offensive puzzle, and that piece will be in place for a long time as Brown has been signed to a new five-year contract.

Yessir. He's earned it. I remember when all the armchair Steeler GM's were saying 4 or 5 years ago that the Steelers made a mistake giving AB the money that Mike Wallace turned down and AB wasn't a number 1 receiver. I was like hell you don't know if he's a number one receiver or not because you haven't seen enough of him at that position to know. I knew early on he was a better route runner than Wallace. AB runs the whole route tree. Wallace can't and AB has better hands. Thank you Mike Wallace for turning down the money the Steelers offered you to stay. It went to the better receiver.

Great receiver.

Could be an all-time great receiver.

If he can stay out of his own way.
