2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend

[Johnnie]

I found a stream last night for the PeAcOcK eXcLuSiVe game and watched it without major issues.

Seeing Kansas City centric commercials was kinda funny. HyVee has the best steaks!

Also, if the Super Bowl ever went PPV the Pentagon would probably step in because AFN is the only way American service members overseas can watch the game. The NFL would probably have an exemption, but still.

The NFL made the armed forces pay for flyovers and other promotional events.

Fair. Then I guess it's possible the government would just foot the bill for broadcasting games.

There was chatter on the second page of the thread about Noah Eagle.

And....HE'S 26!!!

Holy shit, what a voice. And he's really, really good.

Well thank goodness the troops will be alright.

i enjoyed this one


(but why not both goddammit - i'll let it slide)

The main bridge from Canada to Buffalo has been closed since last night because of the storm. No word on when they'll reopen.

So you're saying some players might not be able to get to the game from the Candian strip clubs?

Ballet!

Sometimes, you need Mints.

But, not Peppermints.

NTTAWWT.

I know I've confessed this here before, but in my 4 years in Buffalo I never went to Mints. Driving through Niagara Falls with the family 2 summers ago I did scream, "there's Mints!" and had to explain the excitement of the "Gentleman's Lunch" which was steak for $5 or something. I get the price and college students have no money, but eating in a strip club is nasty. Coincidentally, Nasty was the name of the greatest stripper at a club I went to in Syracuse for a friend's bachelor party. That was the saddest, most depressing club I've ever been to. Just the worst. And no liquor license!

[MaxWebster]

I actually don't think i've been to Mints since ~1992?
yet somehow it's comforting to know it's still there

(and i agree, the idea of eating there is incredibly skeevy. Last one i was in - somewhere on Lundy's Lane (IYKYK) - there were tables of guys fully eating food. it's a dichotomy i could not wrap my head around as i was led to the VIP room....some people...sigh....)

They can’t cut to the owner’s suite enough for me right now

[brian]

Tonight’s game is not only the first home playoff game in Detroit for 30 years it’s the first playoff game period for any Detroit team this decade.

[Johnnie]

They can’t cut to the owner’s suite enough for me right now

Same. Loving it.

[sancarlos]

Enjoying this first half!

[brian]

Also Mike McCarthy gonna Mike McCarthy.

[brian]

Taylor Decker right now:

“This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Larry!”

[L-Jam3]

Yeah… Here we go… Right to the offseason again!

[Johnnie]

IT'S A ROUT, BAYBEEE!

[degenerasian]

Some kinda half..

First time a 7th seed has won right.

[Nonlinear FC]

Jesus. It's one thing to sputter on O... Giving the other team 14 points?

Sub-optimal.

[sancarlos]

Some kinda half..

First time a 7th seed has won right.

First time seven teams per conference make the playoffs, right?

[brian]

In these divided times it’s good to know we can all unite behind our shared love of watching the Cowboys suck shit.

[Nonlinear FC]

That is obviously not a horse collar. WTF.

No this is at least the second year.

4th I think

[Nonlinear FC]

Began in 2020, per Wiki.

[L-Jam3]

I just checked. It’s the 4th. Indy and Chicago were the first two 7-seeds. The Bears played at New Orleans in the first Nickelodeon Bowl.

[sancarlos]

Oh yeah now I remember. We were wearing onions on our belts, as was the fashion at the time…

[Giff]

Cowboys are winning this game I hate to break it to ya.

[Johnnie]

The Cowboys are looking like Belichick is going to be their coach next year.

[Jerloma]

Some kinda half..

First time a 7th seed has won right.

Seems premature. Opening drive TD makes it a 13 point game with ample time left.

[brian]

The NFL has a long history of tilting the scales in their favor. Watching the Packers blow a 27-point lead is some pretty sweet schadenfreude so I’ll be good either way.

[brian]

This is one of the sketchiest calls in NFL history. If it happens to Dallas there would have been a congressional investigation. But fuck the Lions, right?

[L-Jam3]

If my memory serves me right, the Dez Caught It was the very next week in Lambeau.

[degenerasian]

That's a really bad drive to waste almost six minutes and not get a TD.

[tennbengal]

Um.

[sancarlos]

Dallas defense will have to be better, then.

[Giff]

Just kidding!

[Giff]

I had the same thought Jerloma did and thought a huge rest for their defense would help. I had also just made a joke about the Cowboys to my wife who is a huge fan, so maybe I was overcompensating. Whatever go Texans!

[L-Jam3]

Your wife roots for the Cowboys AND the Spurs? She must be an amazing cook for you to marry her.

The playoffs to the Browns and Cowboys - IS THIS YOUR VAUNTED DEFENSE
