San Fran/Dallas should be a good matchup from a "throwback rivalry" perspective. Bills/Bengals could also turn into a serious shootout.

Imagine if we got a Bills/Cowboys Super Bowl?

Obvious keys for Buffalo will be taking advantage of the depleted Bengals line, limiting the damage from Chase/Higgins and much smarter play calling from Dorsey that limits mistakes on that end; you never know though this season which version of the Bills you're getting.

Just gonna keep riding this Brock Purdy wave as long as it goes. Can't explain it, don't want to....just enjoying it.

For years I used to scoff at people who claim the NFL favors teams but assigning Carl Cheffers who loves calling penalties as much as @Martin Luther King Kamala loves 1994 Nikolai Volkoff highlights and holds a 10-2 record with Buffalo and a 4-10-2 mark against the Bengals is curious.

Add that with the NFL desperately wanting to push forward with the neutral site championship game format, the ANTENA is raised.

Or the OL can be an OLE factory again and it’s all moot.

Also gonna be a snow game too so maybe the NFL will try to move this game to Atlanta as well.

The fix is in

Eli Manning noted on Twitter that all 8 starting QBs for this round have been counselor's (when in college) for the Manning Passing Academy hosted every year at Nicholls State. I clearly remember the big names that were already big names in college when it happened, and I definitely remember the year the 5'10 Harvard QB won the skills challenge, but God damn I'd be lying if I said I remembered fuck all about Brock Purdy hanging out in Thibodaux.

"Holy shit it's that Mahommes kid from Texas Tech!" "nah fuck you bruh, did you see the Harvard guy hit that moving golf cart from 50 yards out?"

 

[strummer]

Yeah so the Eagles ain't the Vikings that's for sure.

Well it was a fun season that exceeded well past my expectations

 

[strummer]

Mentioned this before I think

This Giants season is damn similar to the 93 Giants.

Both teams played over their heads and somehow grab a wild card spot. Both beat the Vikings in the wildcard round and get thrashed in divisional round by vastly superior opponent. Both teams had first year head coaches as well.

And this is the first time the Giants won a playoff and did not play in the Soup since... 1993.

Full credit to Cincy but man what a pathetic effort

 

[Hawk 34]

Absolute quality win. Super relieving to have a fairly salted game and not stress to the end.

The OL showed up against all odds. Tremendous DL that clamped the Bills down and the Coaching did all the right things. Don’t know why the league continues to not want BIG LOU but that’s their loss and the Bengals gain.

Sorry to the Bills fans, hope your time comes.

Not sorry to the NFL, try again.

 

[Zetterberg is God]

Barring a coaching shakeup what else can they do? Allen isn’t on that level unfortunately.

but the magical powers of being pissed off still works.

 

[strummer]

Legit feel bad for Bills fans. Honestly don't know what they can do at this point. Cleaning house makes no sense but they just can't make the next step by staying status quo.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I don’t look at this the same as everyone else tbh. This game was all about the zone defence and Leslie Frazier sticking to it when he shouldnt have. Really bad in those playing conditions.

The offence didn’t play well but they would have had more rhythm at least and that’s how they roll.

 

[skullman80]

Wasn't the prettiest for the 49ers but I'll take it.

I need a breakdown.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Zeke put in some noticeably shitty effort in "pass pro" on those final pass plays that Dallas had with the game on the line and the team still has a chance. In one play he basically threw a hand out at a defender and the next he didn't even engage with a defender, just stood around to watch Dak throw it.

 

[skullman80]

The last play was bad, but...

If Elijah Mitchell stays in bounds on his first down run the prior drive...that play doesn't happen.
If Dalton Schultz doesn't have two brainfarts on consecutive plays (first not getting out of bounds on a catch, 2nd not getting his second foot down to complete a catch)...then Dak is at least throwing a hailmary instead of whatever that last play was.

If you are a diehard football fan JaguarGator9's channel is pretty much required viewing. And he's only in his early 20s.

I subscribed for a long time already. Only thing I wish is he condensed this a bit. If a title he shares catches my eye now, I usually just google the story for a minute.

His voice reminds me of Badger from Breaking Bad but with compelling storytelling. Also I wish he had a username that didn't remind me of early AIM usernames.
