NFL playoffs thread

I don't know if I've ever seen an NFL game where the QB was sacked 9 (!!!) times.

I agree there were too many instances of Darnold not releasing the ball quickly enough, but his O-line did him few favors at times.

McCarthy will be the starter at QB for the Vikings next year.

The way the Rams defense is playing, I think next weekend's matchup will be a much closer contest than their regular season matchup.

McCarthy will be the starter at QB for the Vikings next year.

A team will have to be desperate for a QB and have a psychiatrist on staff to sign Darnold.

And re the Rams' next opponent, Philly's O-line play will be leagues better!

I'm old enough to remember two weeks ago when fans and media alike were praising Darnold, trumpeting his return to relevance, could lead them to the Super Bowl, in line for a big contract.....

Wasn't there a game a few years ago where the QB was sacked 11 times? Giants Seahawks maybe?

Darnold back to the Jets as a bridge QB?

I went 4-2 my only losses was Chargers & Bucs. Sam Darnold turned into pumpkin mode and isn't going to get that big payday at best he's just a bridge QB in my opinion. I was hoping for better games that wasn't the case in the Wild Card other than Bucs VS Commanders.

My Second Round Picks:
Lions Over Commanders,
Chiefs Over Texans I hope for the upset but I don't see it as CJ Strout has got the slump this season,
Eagles Over Rams in a close game,
Bills Over Ravens don't wet the bed Bills, prove you're one of the better teams and get out of the second round.

It will be Lions - Commanders next weekend!

Gonzalez was clearly anxious as he walked on field to attempt that walk-off field goal. He had an OCD thing going on. I thought "he's gonna crap the bed here". He was just a couple inches away from doing precisely that.

Indeed, Gonzalez suffers from OCD

I have a different kind of OCD that gets the same thoughts stuck in my head when they aren’t wanted. So just like his ritual there it’s not a whole lot of fun. Unless you have it the concept of being sort of a prisoner to the compulsion is very hard to understand for a lot of people. I noticed the article talked about people giving him a hard time about it online. At least he takes the whole thing in stride.

If it's a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl, I'll blow my brains out.

Sure looked like for a minute that Stafford was going to lead his team to a thrilling come from behind win.

Instead, Stafford gets sacked and loses significant yardage on the final 3rd down of the game, and then throws a clearly off target pass on 4th down that misses his intended receiver by a mile.

That was a highly entertaining game to watch!

I have no issue if the Eagles make the super bowl. I just want anyone other than KC to win it all.

Let's go Ravens!

Make sure I can get my hands on the piece when you're done.

Well, logically that would be up to you.

Just realized if Baltimore wins, there would be 4 black QBs in the championship games. Doubt that's ever happened before.

I might pm Bryce.

Ray Lewis has permanently made it impossible for me to ever root for the Ravens.

Watching Stafford fail is always entertaining.

I’m pulling for a Washington Buffalo Super Bowl. Can’t stand the Eagles or Chiefs.

That's... Something.

You do realize he retired 12 years ago, right?
