The Texans played true to form

:buck2:

I can totally understand losing, but losing 30-0, and at home, and on national TV, and in a playoff game...Jesus Christ.

I don't give a damn about any of the teams remaining, so looks like I'll be ignoring the playoffs and Super Bowl once again this year.

The decision to take Clowney over a QB looks worse every season  :P

Okay, I have to admit this is both funny and kind of awesome (I just wish it wasn't against the backdrop of yeterday's game)... 

Former Vikings coach Bud Grant (he's to the Vikings' fanbase what Lombardi is to the Packers' and Ditka is to the Bears') walked out onto the field prior to yesterday's game wearing only pants and a polo shirt, which is totally cool/badass (and maybe a little nuts!).  8)  In addition, however, he apparently became something of an overnight sensation.

Sunday's NFL playoff game between the Vikings and Seahawks in Minneapolis was historically frigid, the third-coldest kickoff in league history.

Bud Grant, the Vikings' 88-year-old former coach, gave precisely zero fucks.

Grant was a guest of honor for the ceremonial pre-game coin toss at mid-field. The 88-year-old Hall of Famer (did we mention he is EIGHTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD?) took the field in a purple polo shirt, looking more ready to hit a South Florida beach than endure temperatures cold enough to make a White Walker shiver.

it's not like the QBs that year were worth writing home about... Blake Bortles?  Maziel? 
Bridgewater is going to turn OK, but it's easy to look good when you have AP to hand off to.  Derek Carr might be OK, but given his brother's track record, were you going to roll the dice on him with the #1 pick in the draft?

^  Yeah, I thought of that sign after the game yesterday.

I'm so fucking done with the Vikings.  I'm also just done with the NFL.  I hope LA gets three teams and they all fail spectacularly.

Both Bortles and Carr have done more for their team in two seasons than Clowney has. It's not even close. In two seasons, Clowney has 40 tackles, 4.5 sacks, zero interceptions and one forced fumble, and that's with Watt getting double and triple teamed each play. In hindsight they should have taken Mack, but when you look at who the Oilers Texans have put behind center, it's obvious Bortles and Carr would have helped the Texans without question.

Bortles and Carr will be fine.  Bortles has a stud No. 1 receiver and a number 2 that more than one team could make a 1.  Carr has Amari Cooper.

Speaking of Alabama...Coker needs to take his head out of his ass.  And someone cut Ridley's Adderall intake.  He's waaaaaaaaaaaayy too hyper.  Watson is a beast.  Renfrow seems to be able to get open at will.  BUT, Clemson's shut down corner is probably not playing the second half and I like 'Bama to run Henry alot in the second half.  That'll open up the play action downfield.  Should be super close until late.  Still like 'Bama, but Watson scares the bejeezus out of me!

It was over after the onside kick was successful.  Good game.

That won a Super Bowl a few years ago, too.  It was an awesome game though.  Watson had me sweating every time he touched the ball and number 98 on the Clemson D was just a monster.  There's nothing better in life than a hard fought win. Congrats to the Tide and good game to Clemson.
