2022 NFC & AFC Championship pregame thread

he looks fine

Yeah no limp whatsoever

Yeah no limp whatsoever

He's a drama queen and will be milking the injury for the crowd/cameras again on Sunday. Every QB would play through a high ankle sprain in this scenario, but they're all going to act like this is unprecedented as he grimaces and limps around like he's going to die in between plays.

Just wait until he throws that patented shovel pass to Kelce for a 60 yd TD.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

can’t stand this dude

 

[TB12TheGoat]

btw, when will we see a defender lay his ass out when he does that BS where he acts like he’s running out of bounds then keeps going? defenders always give up instead of knocking him the **** out

It'll happen someday if he keeps doing it
The thing is he's good in the pocket as well.
I hate KC but I would love Mahomes in the Pats

Turf toe Part Deux.

Yeah he's fine
Maybe he's hurt but no way a high ankle sprain

I didn't really hate Mahomes personally until last game. I thought he was too dramatic with unnecessary highlight reel throws (to the detriment of the team) and had Favre choke tendencies, but I also thought he was a good leader. However, after watching that Big Ben impersonation, limping around and crying, then being absolutely fine during the actual game action, I've gone from a moderate dislike to actively hating him. Whatever his teammates say, I'm skeptical that someone with that type of personality can really be a good, unselfish teammate and a leader without it really being all about personal glory. I didn't like Manning and questioned his leadership, but I don't recall anything like the laughable "look-at-me" drama show like the one I saw on Saturday. I think combined with his "that's too easy, I'm gonna show em a real highlight throw" we have all the makings of the next prima dona douche superstar.

Mahomes should be milking the bad ankle injury for all he's worth... Walking boot, massive tape wraps, crutches, even a wheel chair...

 

[Kontradiction]

Mahomes pulling up to the stadium on Sunday…

Yeah, but instead he's practicing and you guys are milking it for him. The dude missed two games with a dislocated kneecap and no games otherwise. Including turf toe that required surgery after the season. I have never, nor has anyone else here, ever seen him act injured. And now we are comparing him to Ben?

 

[NFL Mystique]

Even with Mahomes fully healthy, this game is a coin toss. It's a pickem like the NFC title game imo.

I don't think you can say one team is way better than the other. No one team beating the other would be shocking to me. Last year I was shocked when Cincinnati beat KC.

Last time the championship games were so close going in would have to be 2018. Rams-Saints was basically a coin flip. Ditto the AFC game. No pun intended with the coin flip statement.

Hoping for
Bengals>Chiefs
Niners>Eagles
Bengals>Niners

Just for a little historical role reversal, Cincy beats the Niners on a TD pass to Higgins with 34 seconds left.

Who would you cheer for if it was Chiefs-Eagles?

It's rare where both road teams win the conference title games.

92, 97, 2012, and 2018.

Well there's still hope...

 

[reesebobby]

Yeah, he got rolled up the leg. It happens every game to someone and I'm sure it hurts. Pretty sure I've seen that face on Mac
