I don't see Bellichick bringing in loser Chip Kelly into his organization.
There'd be constant sideline bickering on who, in fact, invented football.... It'd be AWESOME.

Do it, Bill.

I thought I read an article about Chip and BB and that they knew each other since he has been in New Hampshire and that BB "installed" some preparation tactics as well as Xs and Os into the Pats' organization.

If that is true, could that mean that possibly Brady is running a Chip type of offense? I guess that makes sense when a waterboy like Clayton would think Chip could be in the Pats' organization.

It's must be nice as a fan or writer to be able to project past the NFC playoffs and just talk about the Cowboy's prospects versus the Pats in the SB. I can't do it. I have too much respect for how hard it is to earn a playoff berth to just brush past any playoff game. Unfinished business is coming to AT&T Stadium and we have to respect that challenge before we can move forward. Dak and them Boys are being coached right and are focused on the game at hand. We've never seen anything like this before with the rookies shouldering so much of the responsibility to carry out the game plan... appreciate it for what it is. But I will project for a minute... once in a lifetime special and all time greatness in it's infancy is what we are witnessing.

Bellichick went to Oregon a few years ago to visit Chip specifically to see how he ran his offense and to learn it. I could see him being interested in Chip Kelly.

I don't know why but im already hyped up for our game.

I've tried not to think about it much this week but im already excited for this.
I'm jacked too. I hate the lay over, but we earned it and it's necessary. The consolation prize is watching the games this weekend to see who comes knocking. Then the fun really begins.

...if Dak struggles greatly, which I think he's going to do, I think the team will make the move to Romo and this story will have a happy ending after all. Just a matter of whether they give Romo enough time to lead the comeback he is going to inevitably have to make.

I could live with that, in fact, I'd LOVE that ending!

1. The most important player in the playoffs is Aaron Rodgers. He's the hottest quarterback -- and the Packers are the hottest team -- entering the playoffs. Rodgers has thrown 18 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his past seven games. It's not out of the question for Rodgers to stay hot and lift Green Bay over Dallas and into the NFC title game in either Atlanta or Seattle, though I see another team advancing to the Super Bowl from the NFC.

2. Dak Prescott will be the first rookie quarterback to advance to the Super Bowl. Prescott has beaten all the odds. People thought the Cowboys were crazy to trust the fourth-round pick to start after Romo and backup Kellen Moore were injured. Prescott won 13 games, and he has put up some of the greatest rookie quarterback stats in NFL history. Prescott and the Cowboys have home-field advantage and a great chance to win two games.

am i reading that wrong, how can Prescott be the first rookie qb to advance to the SB if Rogers beats us out just to get to the NFC title game?
