I was all on the Tom Brady band wagon until Week 16, when it was clear that Matt Ryan was just going to continue playing great. At this stage, all Brady has on Ryan is the TD/INT ratio record. Matt Ryan has had a phenomenal season, and the Patriots went 3 - 1 without Brady.
When it comes to Zeke I think you'd have to split the award with Prescott; they were both great for their team. Ryan on his own outdoes either of them individually though.

Don't let any footballs alone with Brady.... He he he.... sorry, had to go there, and no, I really don't think he worries about people joking about it.

I had overlooked Ryan. I don't think I've seen a single Falcons game all year. Not in that market.
It's hard turning back on what they did in Dallas, but I think Prescott has a shot, even taking Elliot into consideration.

That was such shitty football.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Here's how it works. You must predict the winners of every playoff game (including the Super Bowl) before the playoffs starts. You will get 1 point for a wild card round win (because you know who will be playing), 3 points for a divisional round win, 5 points for a conference championship win, and 7 points for a Super Bowl win.
Here are the picks I need from you by Friday January 6th:
Wild Card Round:
Raiders (12 - 4) @ Texans (9 - 7) TEXANS (me going for the LUCKY AWARD)
Lions (9 - 7) @ Seahawks (10 - 5 - 1) *laughs SEAHAWKS
Dolphins (10 - 6) @ Steelers (11 - 5) STEELERS
Giants (11 - 5) @ Packers (10 - 6) PACKERS
Divisional Round:
(Seahawks OR Packers OR Giants) @ Falcons (11 - 5) PACKERS
(Texans OR Raiders OR Dolphins) @ Patriots (14 - 2) PATRIOTS
(Steelers OR Texans OR Raiders) @ Chiefs (12 - 4) CHIEFS
(Packers OR Giants OR Lions) @ Cowboys (13 - 3) COWBOYS
Conference Championships: (can i pick these later or must be now?)
Cowboys OR Falcons OR Seahawks OR Packers OR Giants OR Lions. COWBOYS
Patriots OR Chiefs OR Steelers OR Texans OR Raiders OR Dolphins. PATRIOTS
Super Bowl
Patriots OR Cowboys OR Chiefs OR Falcons OR Steelers OR Seahawks OR Texans OR Packers OR Raiders OR Giants OR Dolphins or Lions
PATRIOTS FOR THE WIN
Okay I got some stuff wrong but Tibs fixed it; I don't know how but he fixed it!!!

Thanks for entering the playoff contest. However there is an issue with your picks.
You have the Seahawks and the Packers winning the Wild Card Round, which is fine. However if that happens, the Seahawks will play the Falcons in the divisional round, and the Packers will play the Cowboys. You currently have the Packers and the Cowboys winning which will be impossible.
Let me know who your updated Divisional Round winners are out of:
Seahawks @ Falcons
Packers @ Cowboys
and whether you want any changes to the Conference Championship and/or Super Bowl based on that.
Seahawks and Cowboys please! Thank you! <3
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Only 1 point per game at the moment though. Even if people go 0 - 4 in the wild card round they have plenty of chances to catch up and win.

Yeah, one handed catches are somewhat pedestrian these days, but simultaneously trying to rip a guy's head off takes some skill.
