Remember in the 1980’s when Wendy’s used to ask, where’s the beef? Celtics fans are now asking, where’s the D? Since the calendar flipped to 2016, the Celtics defense has gotten worse.

NFL At Large: Doc’s Thoughts on the Divisional Round Playoff Games.
The bandwagoneers are jumping ship in Seattle. 1. The Patriots returned to form against the Chiefs because Julian Edelman played.

http://youtu.be/-0Hamj7KUDE When you’re the best team in the NFL the last fifteen years and you’ve been there as many times as the Pats have, you don’t have to celebrate. You don’t celebrate until the job is done. That’s not for another three weeks.

Storyline: The 2016 playoffs start this afternoon for the Patriots as they host Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs.
