NFL Playoffs - Wild Card Round

Bills haven't won a playoff game since December 30, 1995.

That was in the middle of the first Clinton administration.

I was still single.

Lions haven’t won a playoff game since the Bush administration. George HW Bush.

And their previous playoff win was during the Eisenhower administration.

I googled, and LT was only forced to register as a “low risk” sex offender so I guess it’s ok and maybe even makes sense(?) for ESPN to use him in a pregame promo for Bills@Texans.

Did you hear JJ Watt is playing? Because if you didn’t ESPN will inform you every chance they get.

Realizing again this is annual "RedZone made you forget how miserable watching one game at a time is" week.

I don’t get redzOne so I kinda like not missing anything.

Copy/paste carwash’s post and edit it to say something about watching the Texans on wildcard Saturday. /FIFY

They could punt here. There have three timeouts.

That's the Bills.

Damn Josh Allen.

I'm waiting to pick up my daughter...and have watched the last 5 minutes of the Bills game. I've never seen Josh Allen play before...is he always like this? Or is he concussed?

rass · Post by **rass** » Sat Jan 04, 2020 8:13 pm

Damn Deshaun Watson!

How that wasn’t a sack is insane.

If he could throw a ten yard pass, he'd be agood QB.

I forgot what this misery feels like.

There’s a good chance this game is invisible before it ends.

One of these days an AFC DC will figure out the New England passing offense is all screen passes.

This game is going to end with Brady making a terrible error. Book it

Holy shot what a weird exchange!

I'm in awe at this timewasting, it was CONCACAF level good. They were penalized for DELAY OF GAME and still squeezed another minute off after that!

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:42 pm

Simple fix is non-offending team gets the clock option, right?

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:43 pm

Well that was delightful.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:46 pm

They were the second seed for most of the year with basically nothing on the offensive side of the ball and went up against one of the hotter teams and arguably the best RB in the league and a coach that went to Foxboro U. As I said to my friend it's all been gravy since 2001.

You have no idea what is happening after the season. Personally I believe, that McDaniels is going and Brady is staying and LIons are still gonna suck.

Belichick did that earlier in the year. There will be some rule change in the offseason.

Tirico on the radio broadcast mentioned this. Belichek pulled the same trick in some blowout game earlier this year, to point out to the NFL rules committee the loophole, and then it burned him in the playoffs.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Jan 05, 2020 9:57 am

Wasn't it that every penalty and out of bounds used to stop the clock? Then they wanted to speed up the game so only if less than 5 minutes in a half.

It's been done by a number of different coaches during the season, and the only blowout the Patriots were involved in was week 1 & 2. I believe the Pats did it against the Giants.

It's the thing people will pick up on, but the decision not to put anyone back for the punt and the decision to point on the previous possession both had more to do with the loss than something that happened at the 5 minute mark.

This thing where the wild card games are all compelling games is a nice change.

Drew Brees is ruining the Taysom Hill game.

That saints clock management before the tying field goal was heinous.

Pats did it to the Jets in Week 7 in a 33-0 non-blowout. You may remember the reports of Belichick smirking or smiling during the game.

Kern was very fortunate to get a great bounce on the punt when the Pats had no one back:

The Pats' real problem (and what the takeaway should be) is that they are a pretty lousy offensive team (bad line, poor receivers, trash at tight end, weak-armed older QB who is susceptible to wearing down over the course of a season) put into an advantageous position by a very strong couple of months by their defense.
