NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2022 NFL Playoff Sunday - Wild Card Round

[gtfanboy]

Has anyone seen The Last of Us? IMDB says 9.6 that's got to be fake right?

Loved the games and the reviews are out of this world. Gonna catch it tomorrow probably once the games the over.

I am not caught up. Why is Lamar not playing? A concussion or something?

Knee injury, and since he still doesn't have a contract, he's not going to tough it out for them.

Knee ligament sprain.. mcl or pcl I think

 

[Pape]

Have to give him a huge extension on top of that. I'm thinking a 2nd and maybe some additional comp in a young player/additional draft stock.

zero qualms about shipping the 14th over to cincy + paying him the money for an extension... he'll be 24 next year...

 

[Ross12]

I'd send them a first...

I would trade a 2nd this year or their 2024 1st. Not their number one guy but he is still very productive. 23 years old, three years in the league, went for 900 yards in year 1 and over 1000 yards in year 2 and year 3. Has one year left on his rookie deal. 6’3”. I’m all over that.

Ahh...that's pretty punkish of him but I understand it from a financial perspective.

It’s incredibly bizarre how little attention it has received. Potentially it could change the outcome of games. How is it decided? What are the standards for expedited review? How are they applied? There’s a million questions and they’re just quickly shuffling past it with the announcers being told to say how great it is

Exactly. It also reminds me of how they announced for the 2017 Super Bowl, we're going to have new rules just for this game. OK, who decides that during the game? Troy Vincent! And then during the game they applied the new rule in Philly's favor and they applied the old rule against the Patriots!!

Cri Collinsworth actually said they changed the pass catch rule just for that game, and then he started laughing at the craziness of what he just said.

 

[Ian]

LOL, let's go Cincy, make Harbaugh suffer...

 

[Ian]

PCL sprain. According to a couple of reports, he could probably go but it sounds like the decision to sit was his. Just a bizarre situation.

I didn’t remember that about 2017, do you remember what the rule change was?

Sweep the leg too.

No it's not. He would be nuts to risk a career threatening injury when they had every chance to extend him and they chose not to.

 

[TheBeers]

I would like to see the Bengals win it all. Not really another team other than Jags I can really root for. Bucs i suppose if it came down to it.

Yeah but that was his choice. They offered him a really good contract and stuck out for fully guaranteed. Not only will be not get a fully guaranteed contract for more than two years if that from any team in the league, but he has likely burned a bridge with a really talented team. Playing under the Tag would be his best option next year. But I think Baltimore moves on from him. Tag and trade is most likely in his future. If I was his teammate I would want nothing to do with him next year.

burrow looks to be lobbing the bal

He’s basically saying - I’m definitely leaving here anyway, I’m finally healthy again, I’m making sure I’m healthy enough to pass a physical and get my first huge payday from the Panthers or whoever the heck. Not putting myself out there and possibly getting hurt again and killing the value of my first big contract.

Obviously we would want a QB to feel differently but you can see the logic.

All I want is the Cowboys in the superbowl and they lose in the final two minutes. Suck Jerrah's soul out knowing they came so close.

 

[stcjones]

Eagles are gonna choke.

Not if Hurts can play

I definitely can. And I don't dislike Jackson, so the fact it weakens Harbaugh and the Ravens is a win in my book.

Him, Parker, Bourne and bring Jacoby back and that is a solid receiving corp. Would love Hopkins too but Higgins is obviously much younger.
