So they won a game four years ago. Since then the Seahawks have already accomplished more than the Falcons franchise ever have. Matty Ice has a worse playoff record than our backup QB. I'll take the Seahawks.

This here is why the MVP voting should remain open until after the Super Bowl.

Patriots beat Texans 27-0 with Jacoby Brissett.

Oops my mistake, this might be the worst blow-out of the play-offs then.

That's all Andy Reid does: get the most out of any QB that comes his way.
McNabb was definitely a franchise QB and borderline HoFer, although I don't think he will make it in. Smith was playing his way out of the league until Reid went and got him. Even Mike Vick for a brief spell.
Tomlin is a bum! I'm convinced he's the exact opposite of Reid. He was handed a legit HoF QB and a Championship team when Cowher left. Not to mention Pittsburgh's scouting department is among the best in the league. Just look at all the WR's that have passed through there.
Ben only has a few more years left, I would expect. Let's see how Tomlin does without a franchise QB(assuming they don't land another one).

Andy Reid is 16-2 after the bye. 4-0 after the playoff bye. Chiefs are at home.

No it shouldn't. It's a regular season award. The Super Bowl MVP is for postseason.

Though I would prefer to see the Super Bowl MVP replaced by a Playoff MVP award. That would award the player who put on the best overall postseason performance rather than just one game.

Matt Ryan can have it then, the Cowboys or the Packers will most likely be playing for the whole enchilada while Atlanta watches from Georgia.

I'd be happy for Ryan if he wins it but it's probably going to be Brady.

NOOOOOO!! Do not want more playoff games! I can give vital reasons as to why as well.

We have just the right number of playoff games now. There should definitely be wild card spots for good teams in strong divisions tho.

Lions/Seahawks Refs admit they blew calls including first Touchdown... not that it matters

Only one problem. Replays showed that Richardson had his right hand on Wilson’s facemask, pulling it backward, while Richardson was making the catch with his left hand. Impressive, but also illegal. Alas, it went uncalled. NBC’s Michele Tafoya reported before the start of the third quarter that the referees told Lions head coach Jim Caldwell flat out that “they missed the call.” So basically, the potential catch of the season should have been a penalty. Whoops.

If Brady didn't miss those games, and continued to post similar numbers in the missed games as he did in the games he played, I think he would be damn near unanimous.
But his numbers pale in comparison to Ryan, Rodgers, & Elliot.

Sure do, I'm really looking forward to it.

Seriously, did Joey Porter go to a bar directly from Heinz Field?

Atlanta is probably hoping the Packers win, doubt they want to travel to Dallas for the NFCCG. We'll see if they can actually beat Seattle this time.

It's not like SEA blew the doors off ATL. It was an extremely close game and the PI non-call on Julio at the end was TOTAL BS.

I totally disagree, the number of games/teams in the playoffs is perfect, they need not tinker with that. It's not like the watered down NBA playoffs where half the field gets in.
