I feel like the Pats have just got immense luck this season.

Had by far the easiest schedule of any of the play off sides.
The big guns of the AFC kinda didn’t show up this season.
Chargers and Texans had a number of injuries going into the gam
Nix has a broken ankle for the AFC championship game

Saying that, I think they will come unstuck against either the Seahawks or Rams

Well the schedule is due to be being a last placed team last season. They'll have a much tougher schedule next season.

The Buffalo Bills fired coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons on Monday, according to a league source, after they once again failed to advance to the Super Bowl with franchise quarterback Josh Allen. The Bills lost to the Denver Broncos 33-30 in overtime on Saturday in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
 
The Vikings finally have fired someone with O line coach being canned. No idea how he kept his job for four years but better late than never I suppose

Should be firing the ST coach as well. With a good coach, we could actually do really well on ST with Price.

This was the year for Ravens and Bills to get to the superbowl with no KC in the way. Both coaches don’t have great playoff records but good regular season records for some reason.
 
Good news for a change. He’ll still go if the Steelers offer him the HC but sounds like they are waiting to interview a couple of the Rams staff once their season is over.

If he does go not sure what it means for compensatory picks as he was technically a free agent.

Daronte Jones (essentially Flores’ assistant and favourite to be the new DC if Flores left) has been interviewed by the Packers and Giants for their DC job.

Knowing the Vikings both will leave and they will be scrambling about trying to find anyone to be DC next year. O’Connel worked with Raheem Morris in LA so maybe get him, he is supposedly highly regarded as a DC even if HC didn’t work out
 
Thankfully the NFC Championship game is more than making up for it. Eyelids are heavy but I can't take myself away from the living room TV

I basically fell asleep during the snow game so didn’t make the NFC game. Watched the highlights and looked good

Seahawks to win the whole thing, the Vikings let walk the Super Bowl winning QB for nothing in the most Vikings move going
