NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional playoffs discussion

[TheRainMaker]

Baltimore is going to beat down the Bills today and the media will be shocked because the Bills were “so good”.

The Bills have been crap for years and I’d be shocked if they advance today.

If media is speaking up like this the NFL has a problem.

People are willing to look the other way for so long.

But there isn't a single sane person who can't say that the refs influenced the outcome of that game.

It's one thing to happen. It's another thing for it to continuously happen to the same team over and over and over again.

I can only imagine the things that would be said if it was the Patriots getting that kind of help in their prime.

The problem is the NFL doesn’t see it as a problem. They are perfectly happy overprotecting their star QB and having that team advance deeper into the playoffs.

It might have something to do with our drafting and GM?

Spot on! Felt like we were operating as if brady was still at QB..

Everett, Mass., native Mike Sainristil had a very big day for the Commanders.

I remember feeling like this in 2007….but I did not act on it!!! )

I smashed my roommate's furniture when the Pats lost to the Steelers back in 98. Not good times. I matured a bit since then.

I'm over getting worked up about the Chefs and Mahomes. If they want to "protect" him so be it. Nothing I can do to change the officiating script. I don't think the Ravens will be a push over next weekend so everyone here will be happy to see KC eliminated.

Let's not get too crazy, the Commanders were way better in the trenches and at the skill positions than we are. And while Maye looks great, he's not in Daniels' class at this point. Also Peters appears to be a terrific GM, and Wolf has to prove it this year. So we're not at the same launch point as Washington.

Jesus this as a tough watch.

Love this guy.

A real coach and man with passion and heart.

I think your right.. this is setting up to be a Ravens/ chief AFCCG..

 

[oceansizer]

Somehow I think Ravens have bigger chance to beat Chiefs than Bills.

I don't think a bye week and #1 seed works for an underdog like him and that team.

 

[signbabybrady]

Are the Chiefs as hated as we were? I know I hate them. My daughter practically vomits at the thought of the Chiefs in the SB yet again and she’s a huge Swift fan.

I don't even think it was close but the NFL is setting them up and possibly even setting themselves up to be absolutely hated at level we might not have even seen.

If the Chiefs lose I think everyone will forgive and forget and the hate will die down.

If the Chiefs win it all it will be a hatred that might actually backfire on the NFL since the Chiefs themselves won't be the target but the refs and the shield will be. Too many people feel disgusted by what went down.

When I was 15 I punched a metal support column in my parents basement when the Sox lost the '86 World Series. Knuckle on right hand is still bigger than the rest - bone chips.

After SB 42 I threw my TB12 jersey on the floor, let the dogs out, turned on the dishwasher and went to bed lol.

And remove the Patriots from the best of all time team. Brady as well.

I said this years ago, if I could find it I would. Its here somewhere.

And the league loved the Patriots at the top so much that they took Tom Brady to court to suspend him for something they made up.

I wouldnt be surprised if there are dirty hits ordered on mahomes. Anyways you get a penalty , might as well knock the wind out of him while getting the penalty.

So mahomes becomes most targeted due to NFL over protection.

 

[festy1986]

Mahomes has actually been ass over his last 50 something games.

Historically mundane.

And yet they keep winning.

How is that possible?

I think you know the answer.

It’s not that they’re trying to protect him exclusively. They are protecting the ad-revenue and ratings from all the non-football fans tuning in to watch Taylor Swift. Teenage girls and their moms tuning into cheer every time they pan to this woman in the booth is more $$$ for everyone.
