ATL Conference Championships
Both are rematches of regular season games. Both were fun, high scoring games.
Saints favored by 3.5, Chiefs by 3.
Payton and McCarthy were hired the same year. McCarthy with a higher winning percentage (.618/.615). McCarthy's teams made the playoffs 9 of 13 seasons, Payton 7/12 (suspended 2012).
Go CHIEFS!
In the NFC I prefer the Rams but Los Angeles doesn't deserve a championship.

As if the "defense wins championships" myth wasn't already dead...
I expect both games to exceed 800 yards of total offense. Don't really care who comes out of the NFC. Go Chiefs.

If the Pats make the Super Bowl again I will become depressed.

Re: ATL Conference Championships
Saints/Chiefs please
probably want LA to lose more than New England, Pats winning again is just business as usual

I hate the Pats but if they beat KC in KC they deserve it

Re: ATL Conference Championships
Interesting to note that 8 coaches were fired but none of the corresponding 8 GM's were fired.

Re: ATL Conference Championships
Right? The numbers 1,2,4&5 teams in offensive DVOA are still playing. The top D still alive is New Orleans at 11. And all the talking heads act surprised that teams are rushing to hire offensive coaches lol. When you constantly change rules to benefit the offense it's no surprise that side of the ball becomes more important.Ron Swanson wrote:As if the "defense wins championships" myth wasn't already dead...

It's basically come down to having a great O and then not completely sucking at D and special teams and having them wreck games.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Re: ATL Conference Championships
I don't remember the last rule change that favored the offense. Maybe when they took away the force out on receptions. I'm surprised they haven't gone the college route of one foot in.
I remember a sign in our locker room "IF YOU SCORE YOU MAY WIN. IF THEY NEVER SCORE YOU WILL NEVER LOSE. DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS".

Read a lot from pumped Viking fans excited about having a Super Bowl-winning offensive mind. Must've forgot they had a 2x SB OC in Norv Turner, and something made him to quit midseason and their season went in the toilet.
