NFL Playoff Discussion (Other Teams)

Hard for me to see Buffalo not winning despite the injuries. They went toe to toe with jax and won based on having the better qb. Denver imo is not as good as jax.

Darnold added to the seahawks injury list, oblique strain... he says he's good to go... anything to this? or a nothingburger story?

Seahawks add Sam Darnold to injury report, questionable vs. 49ers

Darnold is dealing with an oblique injury. Drew Lock took some snaps with the first-string offense at practice today.

Depending on which side, could be hard to throw the ball or just uncomfortable. I'm sure Dr. Needle will assist if needed.

So we’re rooting for Buffalo right? I know we’re undefeated on the road this year but you gotta be wanting to play at home in win or go home situations.

It would not bother me to see the Prairie Cows lose in Denver, ending their season. But I'm resigned to whatever happens and at this stage have resolved to simply enjoy the ride.

Yep. Whatever happens, happens. In 2007, I thought the Giants ending the Cowboys and Packers season was funny.....until SB42. In 2012, I thought it was funny when "Jump Ball" Joe Flacco threw a miracle bomb to tie the game in Denver which eventually led to the Ravens winning. Now the Pats didn't have to travel to Denver. That didn't work out well for us one week later.

I'd rather have the Pats host the AFCCG, but it's a "be careful what you wish for" situation. Regardless, tomorrow's matchup between the Bills-Broncos will be an interesting as I see this as a career defining moment for Allen. I do have a bad feeling Josh Allen is in 1997 Elway mode and not letting any team get in his way - especially with Mahomes out of the picture. If Denver doesn't get way ahead early, Allen is going to beat them.

Yes, i made the same mistake ''rooting'' for the Eagles in 2018, wanting to avoid the Falcons (who were one play away from making it back to he championship game), being scared of revenge for SB 51, and the Vikings, thinking that a team with a back-up QB was the easiest possible opponent. I was also delighted that same playoff run when the Jags beat Pittsburgh in the divisional, thinking they did us a great favor, but they outplayed us, losing by the tinniest of margins.

We can lose to both Denver and Buffalo, and we can beat both. The only thing i care about is beating Houston. You have to beat a good team to make it to the Super Bowl, it's one game, that's all you can ask for. I'll have the same attitude if we make it to the AFCCG, i couldn't care less which NFC team gets there as long as the Pats take care of the AFC.

Agree with what happens happens.

I would like a home playoff AFCCG, but I am one who doesn’t trust the Josh Allen telephone booth-to- Superman line. Not this year. I think as inadequate as Denver is, they beat Buffy. Well however it goes, here’s hoping they beat the crap out of each other.

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

Attaboy!

I think Buffalo on the road is a better team than Denver at home in a playoff situation.
Denver seems to be doing it with smoke and mirrors and capitalizing on opponents mistakes. That’s harder to do in the playoffs. Buffalo is never out of a game. They can play poorly then turn it around and get right back in it.

That said the idea of AFCCG at home is hard to not wish for.

In the NFL picks contest, nearly 2/3rds of us picked the Bills, me included.

Sean Payton has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. His star running back is now healthy. They have a great defense. They will run the ball. Nix won't be a factor other than play action. Allen won't see the field since Denver will dominate TOP.

It's a good plan

It’s supposed to be 20 degrees in Chicago tomorrow night with snow. The Rams with Matthew Stafford are 1-9 in those games. They struggled to barely beat Carolina on the road last week, and pretty much have struggled overall since Thanksgiving except when playing Arizona. They’re still 3.5 point road favorites, which apparently is the 3rd highest spread in favor of a road team in the divisional round in the last 55 years.

Rams can certainly win, but I’m surprised the general public seems to think this will be an automatic rubber stamp for them into the NFCCG.

Rams are third-biggest road favorites in the divisional round since the AFL-NFL merger

The Los Angeles Rams are favored by 3.5 points at Chicago in the divisional round of the playoffs.

I think what helps the Rams, and the Seahawks as well, is that they're pretty good with and against both the pass and the run. All the other teams have warts.

 

[captain stone]

There were folks in the draft forum who were All Over this kid. Too bad the Children Still Upstairs weren't.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So either take a qb at the very top or very bottom

 

[4thQComeback]

BUF beat JAX. JAX beat DEN in DEN.

And Buffalo lost to the Texans. Denver beat the Texans in their house. What’s your point?

 

[mgteich]

So many posters and analysts have said that you can get a QB anywhere in the draft, he doesn't need to come in top dozen pick.
