NFL playoffs.

[Uncle Rico]

True, focused mainly on Josh Allen era brutal loss after brutal loss

I'm not sure what they do.  That roster is kind of shambolic with where the money is.  Might need a reboot

They have a rough offseason ahead with their cap situation.

Buffalo.  Wide right.



Time is a flat circle

Rewatching the Bills after the 2 minute warning, Allen really eff's over the Bills chances to at least tie that game. Ball is at the 26, 2nd & 9, Allen ignores a ridiculously wide open Diggs running a crossing pattern right in his line of sight. 3rd & 9 while scrambling, he has Kincaid open at the 20, short of the sticks, but a much better option than Allen chucking an uncatchable pass into the end zone.

Really poor decision making.

He was bad at the end, no question, but I saw replays of the 2nd and 9.  His LT gets completely BLOWN UP by Chris Jones and gets pushed back into Allen like a blocking sled, which messed up the throw.  Maybe he should have stepped up in the pocket and/or into the throw, but he was trying to get to Diggs on the cross across the middle right in the end zone but his line let him down a bit.

There's no way Buffalo cans McDermott...right?  I know they've been successful, but McDermott doesn't seem widely liked, had some bad pub earlier this year, and it seems he's probably peaked there.

The Packers-Niners game on NBC averaged 37.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched Saturday TV broadcast since the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding-fueled 1994 Olympics.

The NFL continues to be doomed.

They have a rough offseason ahead with their cap situation.

Just read that Allen's cap hit goes from 18mm up to 47mm last year.

Sportscenter also showed their current projected cap room for next year is at -50 million.

Purdy vs The Packers prior to the final drive....

Wet ball or not great?   He made some dreadful throws.   

The Packers play is the only thing giving me hope against the 49ers.

The last time Goff threw outdoors was against the Bears.

The last time the Detroit secondary stopped anybody was against the Raiders.

Can Detroit replicate what the Packers did for 3 quarters?  Mess up Purdy and run the ball.

[wadesworld]

Purdy isn't very good. Debo and CMC are great.

[tower912]

Due to injuries, Lions signing Zach Ertz for the SF game.

Need to get home against Purdy.  Packers played their safeties deep late and paid the price.  Tons of playmakers in SF but Coach seems to turtle at times. 

49ers secondary is their week spot and they over pursue.  Packers beat them with Jones and misdirection.  49ers do tackle well and the LBs are really good.  Offense needs to be creative against them

How stunning would it be if McDermott is shown the door? He's been a good coach (if the playoffs aren't included - a big freakin' "if"), and he'd get hired again by somebody, but one could see the Bills' brass thinking that maybe just a new voice is needed.

Would kind of remind me of the way the Bulls canned Doug Collins. They had become a successful regular-season team with a superstar athlete and other nice pieces, but they were just missing something.

Bill Belichick in Buffalo would be wild

I don't know if I buy this thinking. It's like saying that Jerry Sloan was a good coach if you don't count the Playoffs.

Not beating Jordan or Mahomes does not make someone bad.

Some crazy perspective on Mahomes' greatness from Yahoo Sports:

The AFC Championship will be Patrick Mahomes' 17th playoff game. Now that he has almost a full regular season's worth of experience, it's easier to visualize just how dominant he's been.

How he compares: Mahomes, 28, has played in nearly as many playoff games (16) as Jared Goff, Lamar Jackson and Brock Purdy, combined (17).

Mahomes (16 games): 13-3, 4,561 passing yards, 38 TD, 7 INT, 66.8% CMP, 106.7 RTG; 443 rush yards, 5 TD

Goff (8 games): 5-3, 1,864 passing yards, 7 TD, 2 INT, 61.8% CMP, 88.3 RTG; 35 rush yards

Jackson (5 games): 2-3, 1,052 passing yards, 5 TD, 5 INT, 58.2% CMP, 75.7 RTG; 467 rush yards, 3 TD

Purdy (4 games): 3-1, 821 passing yards, 4 TD, 0 INT, 62.8% CMP, 101.0 RTG; 38 rush yards, TD

By the numbers: Mahomes' 13 playoff wins are more than the Texans (5), Cardinals (7), Jaguars (8), Panthers (9), Lions (9), Bengals (10), Falcons (10), Saints (10), Bucs (12), Browns (12), Chargers (12) and Jets (12).

‌He's averaged 285 passing yards per game, which would have led all QBs this season (min. 10 games).

His 38 playoff passing TDs already rank sixth all-time, and are the most ever through 16 games.

He has twice as many playoff games with 3+ passing TDs (8) as he does playoff games with an interception (4).

His 66.8% completion rate and 106.7 passer rating are both better than his regular-season numbers (66.5%, 103.5), which rank second and ninth all-time.

He's even added 443 rushing yards and five rushing scores in his 16 playoff games, which would both be the best single-season marks of his career.

The bottom line: Mahomes' first six regular seasons as an NFL starter are unparalleled — and he gets even better when the postseason arrives.

Some crazy perspective on Mahomes' greatness from Yahoo Sports...

It is obviously a reflection of the Chiefs' greatness as well as Mahomes', but I was amazed Sunday when they mentioned that it was Mahomes' first road playoff game. Damn...the Chiefs have had a fantastic run.

File this away for the NFL is doomed crowd and the morons that say Taylor Swift is driving people away from watching

Amused to see Tom Watson, the golfer, suggest Travis Kelce needed to focus more on catching passes.  Seems to be doing fine in all regards

A woman AND a lib? Of course they are upset. It could only get worse if she were a handicapped minority.

Ravens 27 Chiefs 23

49ers 34 Lions 30

Obviously, Taylor Swift has taken away Kelce's toughness and ability.

Time for a social media check to hear from all the people that have stopped watching the NFL because of Kelce and Swift

FIFY

I thought Lamar could've taken that to the house. Did he let up to save stamina?

[MU82]

Fun game so far, including two ballsy 4th-down decisions (especially Harbaugh's).
