If Josh Allen serves up some fun balls we have to take advantage. I think Najee can win this game for us.

Watt is out, but Herbig aint no slouch.

If we find a way to finally win a playoff game we get the Ravens and that is a game we can win. We got that voodoo on Lamar.

Overall it was a really good season. Cowboys definitely have some flaws and will need to get lucky or fix them to get far. Gonna have to play well Sunday but I do think they get the win.

I'm thinking
Browns
Chiefs
Bills
Cowboys
Lions
Bucs

I can see Lions and Rams being the closest game but Dolphins and Chiefs should be a good one too.

Gonna skip watching that one, don't need to bother with a trial or pay to watch one game. Hoping people skip it so they don't keep doing it but more than likely we will need to get used to more playoff games being behind paywalls.

It was about 5 years ago against the Colts. The weather was nice and pleasant until we got a few miles near the stadium and suddenly all hell broke loose. I think they said the stadium got 18 inches of snow that day, while the Buffalo airport just a few miles away only got 1 or 2.

Those lake effect storms can be crazy - if we knew it was coming we wouldn’t have gone. And I think this one is a far bigger “band” than the one I experienced. Extremely unsafe to have 80,000 people driving in that. It took me 2 hours to drive just a couple miles leaving the game(we left at halftime), and I was highly stressed the whole time. Could barely see, the roads were a mess, and there were cars everywhere.

I was offered free tickets to this game before it was moved and said hell no.

People have seen videos of the weather in Buffalo today, right?

at times, tomorrow.

plus degenerate lifestyles

Also, did you automatically lose the bet because the game was moved?

1) risk of losing isnt the same thing as risk of the parameters of the contest changing after the bet is made. i dont feel like i got cheated, but i caught a shit break.

2) no, but i bet an under, which was highly informed by the conditions. the line for the game didnt move, but the O/U jumped 4pts.

It’s not likely to happen, but it’s still part of the risk inherent with any sports bet, like a major injury happening between the bet and game time. Or even just the weather changing for the better.

So you’re whining before you’ve even lost the bet.

I totally understand why he is upset.

this is considered an “act of God” situation.

and if a star player is injured in practice or early in the game I would also be furious

are we certain the snow will be over by Monday afternoon?

>and if a star player is injured in practice or early in the
>game I would also be furious

you can be mad, I just don't get whining about it. Shit happens and that's the risk inherent in any bet. The game hasn't even happened yet. All the people complaining could still win money.

lmao

youve done more talking about me than ive done about my bet

>youve done more talking about me than ive done about my bet

So in addition to betting risk, you also don’t understand how replying on a message board works.

i made a statement of fact. im not sure why that triggered you to where youre insulting me, but your reaction to me has been 10x as strong as my reaction to an act of god costing me money.

or potentially cash out during game if you get a quick score to start the game

Nice to see Garrett showing why PFF is a hack fest. TJ Watt or Daron Bland is the DPOY.

they know how to neutralize these dominant OLB’s.

Also stroud is seriously that dude

I'm mad because one of my agenda teams to stop the Niner/Dallas bullshit is out.

That still leaves Detroit, Green Bay, LA (and the Eagles... but that ain't happening)

and Buffalo and Baltimore. The Chiefs if they keep winning (but I don't trust their offense)

I'm here for.

nobody else is taking on a completely guaranteed contract that size

perfect way to end their season.

even their top-ranked defense getting shredded

even if you swing the pick 6s back to CLE as TDs they still lose

>even if you swing the pick 6s back to CLE as TDs they still
>lose

The Browns defense didn’t show up at all today.

.

Next up: Go Buffalo.

(Little faith in the Eagles even against the Bucs)

Don't like this NFL season end up like CFB.

>Don't like this NFL season end up like CFB.

attractive job opening and has totally transformed this franchise. Even in his short stint with the Eagles, you could tell this guy was destined to do great things after his playing days.

Props to Stroud and Nico Collins too. They were my best FF picks this year.

.

.

Still a 2 possession game.

smh.

.

This feels very much like when we had Jimmy g in that Super Bowl

Take a moment to think back to their last playoff win, from last season.

And then take note of who was playing QB on that team Dallas faced.

THE BOO(D)Y IS WHERE THE DOO DOO IS, BOY!!

He’s got that cool calm demeanor you wanna see too

..Houston shut down the dog pound.

Kansas City put the freeze on Miami.

Dallas is currently getting housed at home against Green Bay.

This could get ugly.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Time to watch the Joe Montana documentary on peacock to get my moneys worth

Unless Jerry wants the same results year after year after year

lol

they already started it on Get Up, Friday. Tawmbout there is a team currently in the playoffs who is keeping an eye on Bill, in case their playoff run ends abruptly. Shit! That’s us!

he's a defensive coordinator at this point

I don’t think that will be Jerry Jones, but wouldn’t shock me either

Harbaugh would be a problem

even at his age, the idea that a head coach would tell him and his son what to do is unfathomable

His ego won’t get in the way FOR ONCE
Hope I’m wrong 🤞🏾😂

you don't change at the end, you get more stubborn

Yes

tight ends running around deep like Tyreek

which is the worst part, for me. He was outstanding, this season. But, anyone who just watched the defense get poured through and that ridiculous touchdown by Green Bay and put this on Dak…ain’t been watching.

offense was at near full health

he was hesitant all game and threw several more interceptable passes that were bad decisions

at the end of the day he's the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and has a 2-5 playoff record

That pick 6 basically ended this game and it was a terrible read.

The landslide started after all his picks. And he should have had a third redzone int if the defender doesnt have stone hands.

The main thing for me with Dak is that teams will scheme to stop him and he won't figure out how to make them pay for it. Most of the time he is great but when a team's plan works we get Dak staring into the horizon. Next level QBs will make the other teams pay. That said, any QB can have a horrible game. Dak just keeps doing it in the playoffs and maybe that can't be fixed.

I do think the first pick was 50/50. I thought the defender grabbed the WR and should had been PI. That second pick was straight up savage. They really should had slowed down a bit and not try to force things. If they had scored on that drive this may have turned into an actual game.

Now the defense was stopping the run early but had two critical penalties that would had ended drives. After that they didn't stop anything.

I do think Dak deserves some blame for not keeping up with them and throwing the picks. That said if they went into half 20-7 and then 20-14 after halftime I didn't have any hope that the defense would stop GB. Even if Dak was perfect the rest of the way it was going to be very hard to win if the defense couldn't stop them. Basically that's what happened except they went into half down 27-7 so it never even turned into a game.

I don't know how they fix this. I can see McCarthy, Dak and DQ all being gone or running it back again. A new coach with a clear vision on what QB to bring in maybe is the way but I don't know who that would be.

McCarthy HAS to be gone

GB might have just saved a team from hiring Dan Quinn.

At least with the NBA you at least get a series out of it so you can pretend there's a competition going on, and in baseball you get legit upsets all the time so more wild cards actually makes it harder for the best teams to make the championship...

But I've been watching all these games since it's -13 outside and without any context at all, they've all been totally pointless (other than I guess the Browns were favorites?)

Cowboys were too lol

its just football, it ain't that deep

shit has not changed that much since you started to barely watch games.

im not sure there is any overarching trend at play

now Cowboys fans can say he threw for over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns but the defense let him down

the garbage man

I wish someone would compile his garbage time numbers cuz he's good for putting up non pressure numbers lol

He’s just good enough to get you here …

and again, since Buffalo, I've watched these teams just POOP on them

to achieve a perfect rating in his playoff debut. Congratulations!

But still, what an impressive debut!

League is in very good hands for years to come

its like he thinks people are watching for his bullshit, so he does schtick, and its excruciating

..this Lions team is legit.



*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

But also has he been touched yet lol

not good

..every other match up has been severely disappointing (even for wild card weekend).

This Lions/Rams game feels like a middleweight title fight.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*

> This Lions/Rams game feels like a middleweight title fight.

This game is remarkably physical for two teams whose specialty is their passing game and might be called "finesse" teams.

Should be a great ending.

CLEAR AS FUCKING DAY

he's wearing out the entire Lions defense

Now and forever

tripping over his own two feet or turning right into the only threat

Congrats to Detroit for real though

Run it back next week

.

next week isnt gravy anymore now that its a home game, and the eagles and bucs dont scare anyone

Cris Collinsworth touched on a salient point for once this year: next week is a "take care of business" home game

We had a wings, tigers, pistons run

But this shit this week is fucking nuclear

and offense

but this is typical Steelers playoffs lately. Guys running uncovered on easy TD’s and stupid turnovers.

Fat boy Harvin can’t punt it more than 30 yards

and blown assignments on defense.

we still have time for a miracle but at some point you cant keep blaming everyone but the HC for these playoff performances lately.

thats a hard ass line. not much anyone could really say back lmao

how do you give him credit when they win?

He's family.. but t's just time for the next chapter.

happens to all our head coaches.

He will get a gold jacket if he never coaches again.

.
No excuses.. that's a coaching issue.

just the facts.. smh.

13 out of 17 years without a playoff win

Its not hate, its reality folks…

Tomlin is getting love for those first 4 years and the Killer B era but overall, not really the results you would think based on the praise he receives the last 7 years without a playoff win.

Anyone else would be fired and roasted in the media for these playoff performances. This isn’t a franchise where you should be happy just to make the playoffs.

Its time

D is embarrassing once again.

not sure how that went the Steelers way.

great tackling

he is young enough to start a whole second era to his career

16 years is a very long time at a highly demanding job, even if you are successful there is merit to change

every coach been fired at some point its no black mark on Tomlin to get fired too. its time for both sides to move on

or he steps down.

We don't do our head coaches dirty.

And that ain't easy. Protect the qb rules put defenses in a hard spot against a qb who is un-arm-tackleable. Tough flag against Jack. Transitioning from gearing up to tackle 245lbs to two hand touch? Tough. Playoff Josh is different. 52 yards later you see what I mean.

Offense is right where we need it. Love the young guys getting touches and doing big things: Cook, Kincaid, Shakir.

Defense is a hospital scene. And that was Mason Rudolph.

Rudolph, no TJ...we handled business. Steelers were outmatched, played alright all things considered.

Momentum rolling our way...thank you Steelers...now on to the Chiefs...IN Buffalo. If we gotta score 60, we gotta score 60. Gonna be fun to watch.

Shoutout legs...time to move on from Tomlin? I dont know. He doesnt have the pieces thats for sure. Any thoughts on how it would have went rolling Pickett out there? At least he could have scrambled around some maybe?

Go Bills.

No splash plays on defense and once again, when Minkah returns from being out we have serious communication issues in the secondary.

6-1 in games he missed

4-6 in games he started and 0-5 the last 5 starts with him in the secondary and most of those games had blown coverage with the TE. Maybe not his man but why not? Coaching? Scheme? These TE's been killing us all year.

I think he will get an extension but not sure he takes it. He might be done. I hope so..

Outscored 66-0 in the first quarter of the last 5 playoff games. That's coaching and lack of prep or being outreached and out schemed.

Congrats

That shit's insane

in the last 4 playoff losses..

and it was the first one without Watt.

As great as he is, he isn’t a difference maker in the playoffs.

this year’s. They played with fire during their 10-1 start, but at least could resemble a decent team for 4 quarters, most games.

These past few months have just been atrocious. Siri or Howie demoted Sean Desai, to promote Patricia - whose defense has been inexplicably much worse. Sure, the back 7 is devoid of talent, but these guys can be serviceable.

The offense has zero excuses. The OL has been healthy. We have a deeply talented group who is severely underperforming. It’s just maddening how stale and predictable they’ve become. I didn’t think it would be possible, but Sirianni is going to be on the hot seat after this historic collapse. At bare minimum, they must hire 2 new coordinators.

Guy found the right system to maximize his talent.

It’s the redemption story I’m not sure I needed but here we are lol

dude was the first QB to win a playoff game in like 30 years vs the fucking Steelers and they ran him out of town.

Glad to see him win

Browns is the Browns.. lol.

and there's hella UW guys on Tampa so i'm hoping they do well.

as has been said, the Browns are the Browns.

Robbing me of a good mnf game

The amount of missed tackles is wild to me as an nfl fan. I don’t really watch college ball

thats just a lack of want to

That’s cool. . Missed tackles are still a feature in lower levels of football

Dallas actually looked really good in regular season save a couple games.

coaching turnover def impacted their season this year.

going into this weekend

meanwhile Dallas was a paper tiger

Glad to finally see a playoff win in person after witnessing Ls past 2 Brady years

As for Detroit, that’s prolly the end of the road. Tonight’s game shoulda been over in the 1st half, but as always way too sloppy

things are slowly shaping up.

Need Detroit to win next week at the very least.

..slamming the door shut on Philly.

In a rare playoff game without turnovers, the Bucs remained poised.

Many questioned the heart of this team without Brady @ the helm and they responded by going further than his last campaign. Not bad at all.

That said, Detroit is on a mission. Campbell has that team firing on all cylinders. Perfect opportunity to redeem another loss from earlier this season.




*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

But I think he is given an ultimatum, make changes at coordinate or you are gone.

the team never looked right from Week 1, but they kept winning. then they ran into teams who figured out how predictable the offense was and how putrid the defense was.

it has all the hallmarks of that 2021 season.

it warrants a firing of everyone responsible.

i've never seen anything like this before. they were not as good as 10-1 maybe but there's no way they should be this bad. feels like something was going on behind the scenes. the coaching was just so bad. i was almost like the team was trolling us.

the superbowl run is a fucking grind.

its why you rarely see teams make it back or even make the playoffs the next year.
