Still can't believe the Bengals have to play at buffalo.



Stupid nfl, made adjustments to the championship round but didn't touch the divisional round.

I'm looking forward to Micah Parsons getting a clean shot on Brock Purdy and seeing how he'll react to pain.
I'm curious to see if the Jags actually give KC a good game
They always say, "in the NFC East, you can throw out the records", so I'm also hoping to see the NYG give Philly all they can handle.
I'm looking forward to a good Cincy/Buffalo game.

The problem with beat the Whiners is, for all his faults, Shanny has a very deceptive power running game.
You have to stop the run.
Because their O is so good week to week with disguising their same running plays they can find success even against a crowded box.
If you have to jam the box this obviously opens up the receivers. The play action and roll outs/iso patters that give Purdy easy completions all come off of the threat of the running game.
Don't give up any of the cheap TDs the Whiners usually get......a blown coverage due to confusion over their scheme.....or a check down that ends up going for a 70 yard TD because of a couple of missed tackles....Dallas will be in this game.
Dallas needs to stick with the run and can't put the game on Dak...

I was looking forward to an AFC weekend of Bengals vs Buffalo and the Chargers vs KC.
The Chargers, of course, found a way to go full frontal Charger.
Peterson is a good coach who has his team believing and helped save Lawrence.

I think KC runs away with this midway around the 3rd.

Giants/Eagles should be good, and w/ all the Giant defenders coming back won't be as easy. Apparently Jalen Hurts is still hurt?

Cincinnati at Buffalo on CBS at 3:00pm ET
Dallas at San Francisco on FOX at 6:30pm ET

Bengals/Bills...probably gotw.

Cowboys. Just win. The primary focus is to delete san franshitso.

Nothing surprises me in the playoffs. Jacksonville upset LAC or did they? They were a division winner playing really good towards the end of the season. And to be down 27 zip and not throw in the towell says a lot. Sure, they're "not supposed to" but they didn't AND actually got it done.

The Giants played a great game and Jones killed Minnesota with his legs. Can he damage Philly? We'll see but I wouldn't be shocked despite not expecting it.

It's amazing how many people felt it was more Reich than Pederson in Philadelphia. I never quite understood that, but now Pederson is doing it again in Jacksonville.

This is always my favorite round. Should be a weekend of good matchups.

SF will blow Dallas out if they don't stuff that run game. But it looks like a great game.

Buffalo and Cincy might be the title game.

Giants got a tough matchup but winnable vs Philly. Only one sided game looks to be KC vs Jax.

Ditto. Now I just need to decide my game day menus for watching this weekend.

That's how I feel. So we can expect Dallas to beat SF, Buffalo blows out Cincinnati by 21, Philly takes a 24 pt lead at the half and wins by 27 and the Jags/KC goes to OT. I've long expected the CCGs to be SF/Philly and KC/Buffalo.

Can you imagine the ‘90’s nostalgia/hype/bullshit over these two?

NFL Network and FOX will spew themselves over this one.

Gag.
Fuck.

Yes it will be nauseating. But I will endure it for the mere chance of a Shitter loss. If SF goes up big early though I do have more pleasurable things to do like leaves to rake and burn.
