So Stafford is playing with a concussion from that non penalty, right?

Yup

Congrats brian.

See Bengals fans, the refs can look the other way on physical contact against a Rams receiver near the end of the game. Congrats Brian.

This is a weird feeling. Trying on success for a minute. It feels….not bad?

You may well have a home game vs a Baker Mayfield led Buccs as a route to the NFC Championship game. Let that sink in.

After 0 home playoff games in 30 years, 2 in 7 days is pretty bonkers.

One of my highlights from the weekend was hearing Greg Olsen talking about Dan Quinn being the perfect candidate to rebuild a team that is looking for a head coach to change the team's culture.

In the 3rd quarter when his defence had already given up 40 points.

Definitely a highlight, then followed by a shot of McCarthy, saying you know he's a great coach because if he's fired so many teams will be trying to hire him.

As for Tom's question about the Cowboys, I wonder thr same thing..The roster looks great at all the important positions. I'm considering that they ran into a buzzsaw with Green Bay. Early in the game, Love was getting pressured and making great throws and I enjoy watching an offense with several good, not great options. Everything just seemed to click for them and when Dallas saw that, they sharted rather than adjusting/fighting back.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 9:00 am

Ever since watching prime Aaron Rodgers struggle through 2015 with McCarthy spamming curls and slants I've been out on him. Green Bay knew exactly what was coming.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 9:04 am

Going to San Francisco is most likely the best case for a non-top seed Lions team. As long as it's not wintry they've got a shot.

I like them against Bucs/Eagles much more than I did against the Rams.

I mean we always talk about both them and the Dolphins melting down in big games, so naturally this would make sense

Dallas sharting in the playoffs is such brilliant schadenfreude, just my favourite thing to help me through those post festive blues.

It is always made that much better by the media doing the America's team angle and angry Cowboys fans.

I like the jokes around twitter similar to: "Now that the season is over, Cowboy fans can tune in to the Lakers while they wait for Yankees spring training to start."

They did have a tough week though, with Saban retiring as well.

The Steelers back in mid-season form.

Not really sure how they called that Freiermuth fumble OOB. I didn't see it.

Brontoburglar · Post by **Brontoburglar** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:31 pm

his foot was out of bounds when the ball touched his facemask

It wasn’t super clear from the replay but that’s the only way it was OOB for sure.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:53 pm

Ooh. Looks like the Bills might’ve lost their punter.

I feel like a kicker can be an emergency punter more than the other way.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:55 pm

I don't think they even need one.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:58 pm

Steelers have been outscored 66-0 in the first quarter of their last 5 playoff games.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 6:08 pm

He took a defensive TO with 2 seconds left in the quarter on 2nd and 17. Someone explain that to me. Is it the punter thing? He thought he could make it through 2 more snaps in 2 seconds and make them have to punt without a punter? Is that what I was just witnessed?

rass · Post by **rass** » Mon Jan 15, 2024 6:11 pm

I was ok with not calling the TOs (and maybe giving Allen another shot or two) in the hopes of a bad punt with time running out but not sure why the TO with two seconds left and on 2nd down.

they just wanted to make buffalo run one more snap in case of a turnover
