NFL Playoff Discussion (Other Teams)

A month ago, I thought the Rams would roll to the SB. Now I’m not so sure. I think they’ll beat Carolina, but I don’t think it’ll be a blowout.

Feeling ..,

Jags missing their starting LT…

 

[JMC00]

Bernard and Hairston are pretty notable inactives for them

Ty Johnson as well. Backup RB.

There will be upsets galore this weekend and throughout the playoffs.

If the Pats were to make the Super Bowl, I don't want them play anyone they've played previously in those games during the BB years. Let's have someone different. I don't want to see LA Rams, Panthers, Seahawks and Eagles.

If Buffalo has any shot, they will ride or die with James Cook like Denver did with Terrell Davis in 1997.

Ditto with Philly in Barkley.

Denver is going to get favorable matchups in round 2 if Jacksonville beats Buffalo and NE beats LAC. AFCCG is where you could see the let down with them.

Seattle is garbage and their worst nightmare is facing the Rams again in the 2nd round. They are my most likely early exit.

You got me to thinking about playoff upsets so I looked back a little. There really hasn't been that many in the last few years. I suppose Was at Det last year could be considered one. Cle had a win at Pit in 20 and Ten had a stretch in 17-19 but that was it. What I noticed was how Bal and Dal turned up in some of the losses. What a shame.

If the Pats are lucky enough to make it to the SB then I want the Rams again. Complete the trifecta.

I think Phi, and to a lesser degree Buf, are flying in under the radar. Both will be dangerous (though Buf could be getting smoked as I type this).

I haven't seen Seattle much, but on paper they look pretty good. We'll see next week.

Hard to believe…

Bills got no shot.
They haven't faced a defense like the Broncos all season...

That's not true. Philly and Houston are just as good IMO.

 

[Uptown]

Besides Ted Ginn Jr, Brandin Cooks might have the longest career of any chest-catcher in NFL history..

Not too look past Pitt/Hou... but i am going to just to play the 'suppose game' for a bit.

theoretically who would want? Bills at home or @ Broncos?

I know Josh Allen is kind of scary and can just take over a game. But we should be able to run on them and our ability to stop their run game should be better.

But Denver is a tough place to play at and that D is good. But i don't really fear Bo Nix or their offense as a whole. I think 20 points might be all we need if the D comes to play.

This 100000% I’ve been saying this…It ain’t 2005 anymore…modernization/innovation at OC is crucial.

Disagree on Hebert. I thought he was a better quarterback than he is, and although I'm sure he is better than he showed last night he simply does not possess the fire or will to win that you need to win championships in the NFL. I could be mistaken, it could be that he was doing heroin on the bench between series, but the look on his face throughout the game, and the complete lack of energy he displayed was that of someone who had just gotten a pre frontal lobotomy. At no point did I see him interact with even one other player on the sideline, he just sat there staring blankly into space for the entire game. Or maybe, as Dan Kelley says, Hebert is the best quarterback in the NFL, and I'm just missing it,

Greg Roman ran a play action pass on 4th & 9….

Yeah Herbo is uber talented, but I’m not too sure if he has the internal fortitude or if he actually cares (total speculation). Or maybe he’s on the Luck trajectory, where his lack of protection and ass-kicking accumulation has him disillusioned with the game (again, total speculation). However, the main point was that he needs a new competent OC that can augment the offense as a whole. Guys like Roman, Patullo & Arthur Smith are fossils mentally…The funny thing is, Harbaugh may be unwilling to move on from his friend Roman, and may instead fire passing game coordinator Marcus Brady.

 

[1960Pats]

Saquan Barkley is an incredible RB. If he didn't get hurt before the last drive he probably would have helped move Philly into scoring position.

Trevor Lawrence is wicked over rated. He's also a pretty scary looking MF. And get rid of that woman's hairdo.

 

[Uptown]

If we get past HOU/PIT & Buffalo somehow wins against Denver, we’ll certainly be facing a debilitated team (pun intended..) in the AFCCG at home…& Allen would still be a threat…He’s the only QB I believe could still make this a fight & possibly even win with this many injuries. Not even Mahomes can..

Couple years ago I lusted after Herbo as a QB. Couple more years pass and he seems to me as a guy lacking the intangibles. Personal drive and leadership. Also missed on his long throws last night. I agree that he lacks supporting cast, OL and coaching.

 

[VrabelJr]

Allen and Purdy feel like two guys going to give it everything they’ve got and more with no Chiefs in their way finally. Full on desperation for those two franchises.
