Block is still a missed FG. The only difference is the box score will say blocked instead of wide left. :?

True, but the clarification turns it into, at the very least, not completely Parkey's fault.

But he has also hit an astonishing number of goalposts this season. If that was the goal, dude would be a Pro Bowler.

2-0 for today. Not bad.

Even as a Rams fan, I have to admit that it was a pretty bad call that technically the Rams' only sack tonight came from Dallas RT La'el Collins...

Was 1 for 2 yesterday, even without realizing the teams had been mixed up. Oops. I thought ththe Rams would blow it. Oops.

Pat's are dismantling the chargers D. Holy cow.

Eagles v saints. Man that's a toughie. The Saints were unreal down the stretch. But the Eagles have that "team of destiny" thing going on. They always seem to pull some miracle out of their asses.

But I'll stick with the Saints.

I'm sorry, it sounds like you thought the Chargers had a chance.

No. Not at all. But I didn't think they'd be down by 30 at the half lol

A little bit of a tangent, but it turns out that January 12th is quite the momentous day for the Rams historically:

January 12, 1946: The Rams move from Cleveland to Los Angeles.

January 12, 2016: The Rams move from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

January 12, 2017: The Rams hire Sean McVay, who yesterday broke the record at 32 for youngest head coach to ever win a playoff game, beating the previous record held by John Madden at 33.

January 12, 2019: The Rams record their first playoff game win since the return to Los Angeles 3 years prior.

Wow. what a game. I honestly thought the eagles might pull it off for a minute there. After they roughing the passer call, I said to my wife "well there it is. Miracle time."

3 for 4 on my picks this weekend.

So all top 4 seeds are the final four. I still like my choices.
Pat's over Chiefs
Saints over Rams.

Great weekend of football.

I went 3 for 4 on the weekend, so not bad there.

I'll modify my picks, though I admit to bias here:

Chiefs over Patriots
Rams over Saints

Or you could root for the Saints this week, then for the Chiefs next week. :P

Seeing your previous two picks, I'm surprisingly comfortable with it.

I don't get how during regular season you get PI called on almost anything and during playoffs everything goes. I don't mind that they call it less, the massive PI calls made the game a bit boring the last years - but today is a bit much to the other side...
