Championship Sunday

Superimposing the yard lines on this snow covered field is a great advancement for broadcasts.

I love these conditions in football

I think they're stupid. They play all year in "normal" conditions and then the semifinal comes down to luck of the weather.

Games should be won by skills, strength, and scheme, not who happened to not slip down in a blizzard.

And your solution? Both cities are in a blizzard

ETA... on your edit, does skill go out the window in bad conditions? I think not

Solution would be that all stadiums be required to have a roof by the 2030 season (or 2035 or some other reasonable date to give time to the teams without one to figure out how to build one to their existing stadium, or build a whole new stadium).

I don't think skill goes completely out the window in these conditions, but it definitely takes a back seat to luck.

Think its great. Denver got there because of their defense and Nix not screwing up. Well today Nix ain't there and Stidman screwed up. So did Peyton by not kicking the FG earlier. New England also gas a dam good Defense and Mayne didn't do anything stupid to lose the game.

Luck took a back seat when Nix got injured on a play that never should have counted if the refs call the holding in the end zone during OT. Broncos would probably have won that game if Nix was playing in my opinion. He's way better than Stidham

Yep Stidham looked like a goose with it's head chopped off in the 2nd. New England just loaded the box and destroyed him. Nix scores earlier when they screw up that 4th down play.

So the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl without Brady or Bellichick. Interesting.
