Interesting how, after the Texans were eliminated, I've felt not the slightest need to watch any football and have not watched any.

That's why you should be a Cowboys fan

 

Texans are just a college team compared to the Great and Mighty America's Team known as the Dallas Cowboys

Dilly dilly, down with Philly.

As much as I hate Philly, I was wanting them to win the game and keep the magic streak alivel

 

Looks like they were a couple plays away from winning, and didn't get blown out like most suspected they would.

That was a close game, could have gone either way.

That will be an interesting game.  The Pats playoff record away from Foxboro is not that stellar.

Denver has always been a tough place for NE to play, and I think KC is almost as bad. It depends which NE team shows up Sunday. The one that destroyed the Chargers or the one that played the previous 16 games. The game against the Chargers was the only real Patriot style game. Most of the season they looked like a disheveled mess. 

 

Have they finally achieved form or will they fizzle out on Sunday? I know one thing, #12 will give it everything he has. Will it be enough? Will the defense show up again and rise to the occasion? I liked what I saw on Sunday, that is what we in New England have become accustomed to and expect. It’s been a hellova run for the past 18 years and no doubt it’s coming to a decline or end. Here’s one fan hoping the magic lasts for 2 more games.

Totally agree, I still remember my 1st game at Nickerson Field ... They were painful to watch, .. thank God the Celtics we're great in the 60s

Are you from the area? The Celtics were phenomenal in the 60’s, the Pats were painful to watch for a long time. That’s why this run has been so enjoyable. I couldn’t believe they won their first Super Bowl, let alone 5. The Patriots a dynasty? Not even on an acid trip! But here we are. I still have my Berry the Bears T shirt somewhere. Of course that didn’t turn out well. And Parcells sabotaging the Super Bowl when he was jumping ship to the Jets. It was a rocky road to get to the point we are today. 

 

You’re dating yourself with Nickerson Field.

Not really, I,m old. Grew up in Roslindale moved to Dedham went in the army in 76 never moved back

I’m picking the Saints over the Rams in the NFC Championship game, but I don’t have a favorite there other than I like Drew Brees. 

 

Pats vs Chief. My heart is obviously with New England. Never count out Brady and Belichick. But take emotion out of it, and the advantage lies with the Chiefs. Arrowhead is a strong homefield advantage and a tough place for visiting teams to play. 

 

The QB matchup, the old master vs the very talented new kid ready to show that he is the real deal. 

 

If the right Patriots team shows up, they can win the game. In the past decade or so I’d feel quite strongly they would win. I just don’t know who the real Patriots are, the team that whipped the Chargers or the team that lost to Miami.

Sad part is they are both. I agree with your assessment

Guess I'll have to go with New England.  Step daughter lives and works in Quincy, and my hygienist is from Winchester.  I've got to go to Boston on the 31st of the month for a dental meeting(ugh, the weather..).

 

Funny, my hygienist followed the Red Socks and the Bruins growing up.  Few months back she answered the phone and was helping a new patient make an appointment.  She asked his name, "Jean Ratelle" he says.  My hygienist laughed and says " like the hockey player?"  Yep.  Couldn't believe she knew the name.  It was him.  Nicest guy.  Played with the Rangers and then with the Bruins.
