I may throw a few nickels on the Browns to beat the Chiefs.

Announcers keep blaming wind. No, mostly just poor play. Wind just making it worse.

[MrTPlush]

Bills just scored a goal line touchdown on a WR screen pass. Notable because the Ravens covered 3 WRs with 2 DBs.

 

Shocking that didn’t work out well.

Shades of George Teague by Johnson.

Ravens are starting to self destruct.

Man I feel old because I know exactly what play you are referring to.

One of my favorite Packers games ever. Probably in my top 5.

I would agree with this statement.

For some reason I was thinking Teague was deceased. But I was thinking of Wayne Simmons.

Can you imagine a Bills/Browns AFC Championship game? The odds on that would’ve been long to start the year.

The Browns definitely. Feels like the Bills bandwagon has been gaining steam since the end of last year.

 

I'm fairly certain the Browns are going to do what we all expect the Browns to do vs KC. That might even include a couple score lead that they blow.

good golly that was a boring game to watch. The Ravens just never acted like they wanted any part of being active participants in the actual game itself, and the Bills just decided finally "well, we might as well win this.....we guess". Blame the wind or whatever, but jeesh, that was bad. I've seen a lot of defensive-struggle games that were fun to watch, this was not one of them.

I missed most of it, but I did see TWO Tucker FG's from inside of ~45 miss and then I saw Brown who had his man beat by about 10 yards juuuust overthrown in what could have helped the Ravens turn the game around.

 

I like Lamar, but as talented as he is, he's gotta improve his passing outside the numbers. Maybe part of that is his weapons, but this is three straight seasons he's played very badly in the post-season.

Is Lamar Jackson good enough to win a Super Bowl, or do you need a passing game to do that? Is a good, pass-catching TE enough to fix the issue?

[nodakfan17]

I’m not sure who I’d rather face in the NFC Championship game, so I think I’ll just be rooting for quadruple overtime tonight. At least the winner will be exhausted and already down a day of rest to the Packers.

 

I have nothing against the Chiefs, but count me in on a Bills / Browns AFC Championship game. Those fan bases deserve it.

It’s probably too soon to tell, but most championship QBs win their first Super Bowl early in their career. If it doesn’t happen soon, I’d move on. Peyton Manning is sort of the outlier of the last 20 years. He won his first Super Bowl in his 9th season. Otherwise, most elite QBs win much earlier:

 

- Brady (2nd year)

- Roethlisberger (2nd)

- E. Manning (4th)

- Brees (9th) ... but 4th year w/ Saints

- Rodgers (6th)

- Wilson (2nd)

- Mahomes (3rd)

Looks like KC is back to clicking on all cylinders.

I honestly thought this watching the game yesterday. He is an incredible player overall, but as a passer he has many holes. I don’t think he can win a Super Bowl without being a more well rounded passer. Can he do that? I don’t know. There are just too many good defenses in the playoffs. Getting by not actually being a legit passer for 3-4 games is just not likely.

 

And how long before he isn’t an elite runner? How long before he gets beat up running around so much? Special generational talent at QB, but not sure that peak will last long or will end up with a ring to show for it.

Oof. Fumbles through the endzone that would make game 16-9 and seeing first replay immediately said out loud illegal hit. They come back from commercial and yep I was right but that isn't reviewable. Tough luck.

Worst rule in football. Either that or the 10 second runoff against a trailing team because of a booth review.
