Vikings at home next weekend or at Philly?

This is so dumb. Just end the game. Nothing can happen 

That was an incredible ending.

So three of the quarterbacks in the conference finals are Case Keenum, Nick Foles, and Blake Bortles.

Can aged Brady and Belechik and the Pats solve the Jag defense?

I had Saints +5.5, so yeah I was worried they were going to kick the extra point. I also had Saints ML.....

The knee was a nice gift. The betting knee heard round the world. 

What a crazy game.

Yes....if they mix things up like they always do. They’ll do much better against the rush.

I will say Patriots haven’t seen Jacksonville’s defense, but also the sheer mention by some experts that Jags were best chance to knock off Pats will have the Patriots wanting to win by 50

That had to be the top two best endings (Music City Miracle) I've ever seen in the playoffs.

Jags/Patriots should be a real good game. I think it will be closer than a lot will think.

Now that Pittsburgh's out, I can enjoy the rest of the playoffs. I would've been rooting hard for NE just for the "keep Pittsburgh out" factor but now that that's over, NE can go screw themselves.

I'd love to see JAX win it all but as long as it's a team that's never won it (include Philly, prefer Minny over them), I'll be pleased.

I’m pulling for the Vikings at this point

Same. I want to see the home team win the Super Bowl.

Not surprised by the Steelers outcome.   Tomlin has never had control over this team and to allow some to discuss a rematch with NE, Bell talkong about a contract and the dysfunction of the QB and OC not on speaking terms just does not bode well for the focus on a team.  

Wassurprised by the score though.

VIKES.....wtf man.

This is how I see it playing out.   NE and Minny in the SB and the Pats have the biggest rallying cry and motivation ever......playing a road super bowl.  They rally up and whoop the vikes.- 

CbS radio guy was hammering Jeff Fisher the former coach. ...he has had Goff, Foles and Keenun on his rosters and did nothing with them....

Why?

Have to admit I'm intrigued by it simply because it's never been done before.  I'd at least like to see a team play in their own place....no matter win or lose.   I imagine I'd would be as partisan as the Steelers in Detroit.

Oh I’d be good if the Vikings won it all..just don’t have any extra hope because they would be at home

There is another top ending that I remember seeing live in 1975, which I think this one may be a little bit of retribution for the Vikes:

• 1975 — NFC Divisional Playoffs — Minnesota Vikings vs Dallas Cowboys: With 24 seconds left in the game, Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw the 50-yard winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Drew Pearson to defeat the Minnesota Vikings. Although this touchdown appears to be more of a traditional, scripted "bomb" pass play to a designated receiver, Pearson, Staubach's post-game comments about the play are thought to have popularized "Hail Mary" as a football term.

Led by Tarkenton and running back Chuck Foreman, the 1975 Vikings got off to a 10–0 start and easily won another division title.  However, the Vikings lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs, 17–14, on a controversial touchdown pass from the Cowboys' quarterback Roger Staubach to wide receiver Drew Pearson that became known as the Hail Mary.  The touchdown was controversial because many felt that Pearson pushed off on Vikings defensive back Nate Wright, committing pass interference. As the Metropolitan Stadium crowd was stunned to learn that no penalty was called, debris was thrown on the field for several minutes. A Corby's Whiskey bottle struck game official Armen Terzian, rendering him unconscious.

I'm quite pissed.  Must have hit a nerve calling Ben a pussy for not running the QB sneak because I got banned on a Steeler board for it (I've said much  worse without  so much as a warning).

It's clear to a lot of people that Tomlin and Haley will never win a SB.  And the fear is if both are back, Ben won't be.  Yeah I wouldn't, either, if I were him.

I was alive for that, along with the Immaculate Reception, but I didn't see either live (on TV). Saw the highlights after they happened..

Anyone but New England for me.

Vikings, like the Bills, are 0-4 in Super Bowl's. I wouldn't have any issue with their fans enjoying some good fortune.
