NFL playoffs 2020

And this isn't a knock on Lamar. Every NFL organization should be constantly asking themselves how to best put their QB in position to succeed. That the Ravens are one of the few orgs to actually do so isn't Lamar's fault, it's a credit to BAL. He will win the MVP and deserve it

Patriots gonna win it all this year

i certainly wouldn't be shocked, though they definitely haven't looked like even a top 5 team this year. if they do get past KC, it's hard for me to envision how they'd beat Baltimore on the road, unless all their skill position guys just magically level up simultaneously.

they are like some hellish demon from a horror movie, I will not believe they've been defeated until the clock reads 0:00 and they have less points than their opponent. they still have the 2nd best point differential in the league & a coach who's famous for figuring out how to beat good teams in the playoffs

seriously though you're probably right I can't see them getting past KC or Baltimore. that said they will probably demolish Tennessee this weekend, beating inferior teams in the playoffs by 30 is just what Belichick does

Buffalo/Houston is kind of an interesting game, both of these are teams you'd think would be one-and-done but one of them has to win. Houston has the potential to make this a rout but I think Buffalo is better all around, can see their defense giving Watson a hard time

Seattle @ Philly could also be interesting, believe it or not the Seahawks have a point differential of only +7 this year which is pretty bad for a playoff team (though still better than Houston who sits at -7)

hard to see Minnesota having much of a chance vs the New Orleans juggernaut, Vikings kinda look like the classic "peaked a month too early" playoff team

i'm still traumatized by the philly-seahawks game i went to in the bitter cold + rain to watch the eagles play their worst football of the year but they've obviously figured something out over the last month that hopefully they can use. i'm cautiously optimistic!

Houston's offense just seems to rely so much on Will Fuller but you can't bank on him ever being healthy, that's basically why I picked Buffalo.

I think TN will give the Pats a good game, the Titans have played really well lately and I'm just a little dubious as to whether NE's offense is really capable of blowing out anybody right now.

think you're right about the Vikes, especially if Dalvin Cook is out or limited.

here's what my book says:

Texans -3
Patriots -4.5
Saints -8
Seahawks -2

think Bills, Pats, and Eagles could all be good bets

i have zero faith in the eagles, but . . . home dogs

my guesses were Texans -3.5, Pats -6, Saints -7 and Seahawks -1. as much as the Pats offense has looked like shit for most of the year I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable picking Tennessee to cover there.

i don't think Philly can be favored with all of their injuries, now losing Brandon Brooks, possibly Miles Sanders, not sure if they'll have Ertz back. I know Seattle's D is banged up too but the Eagles are a damn infirmary.

has there ever been an early saturday wildcard game that did not feature a team from the afc south, the most boring division in pro sports™

This Bills defense has completely neutralized Watson

He's coaching for his job, but BoB seems to be doing even worse than usual tonight

anyway my bets for this weekend

Bills/Texans under 43 - had to figure one of these two offenses were gonna come out flat
Pats -4.5 - bet big on this one, I don't see this game being close
Saints -7.5 - think the Vikings are actually kinda underrated coming into the playoffs but the Saints look great on both sides and I can see their defense stifling Minnesota all game

Pats -4.5 - bet big on this one, I don't see this game being close

my dumb hot take is that tannehill knocks them off and then signs with the pats in the offseason lol

I'm excited to see the Bills doing well. Not feeling great about the Pats' prospects. They played like shit last week vs Miami.

true but they've still got the #2 point differential in the league & Pats at home vs. a team with little playoff experience is a situation they pretty much always thrive in. I realize they've not looked good recently but the idea that they'd only be a slight favorite on a neutral field seems like a big overcorrection

this game is getting good huh

Bills had a good run, RIP

deshaun watson is finally good enough to overcome his own coach.

was kinda predictable for the bills to fall off after that incredible opening script, but they looked a lot better than their point output for three quarters. conservative decision-making and poor ball security bit them in the ass.

This Bills defense has completely neutralized Watson

this jinxed buff o somethign

they should make the whole plane out of devin singletary

holy jeez

this is such a bills way to lose this game

y are they not kicking wtf

I uh don’t know if I agree with going for it here

yikes ok i guess you cant try for a 59-60 yd attmpt

good call not to kick, they might've given the texans good field position

incred brutal

loss of 16 on 4th and 27 lmao Bills

bills full team crumbled lmao

they should've given the bills a fifth down just for fun

yikes ok i guess you cant try for a 59-60 yd attmpt

idk unless you know it's physically impossible for him to make that I think you still have to go for it, the odds of them converting 4th & 27 are like zero

bills still alive

what a wild game

was there a single read option call on that drive? BoB, man

block mercilus somehow

LMAO ALLEN

"here, have the game"

what a fucking maniac/idiot

he is shook as hell

Lmao “why would you ever do this!?” top quality announcing

Sometimes you gotta just take the tackle, lol

catch the ball, that was a goood throw

daaamn converts 3rd&10

allen made 3 good throws there lol

bradley roby with his second dropped pick

i thought this was building to a hauscka missed kick 20 mins ago so....

lol these tender moments tess

Hahahah this would be a hell of a way to lose the under

bomb to the fullback in double coverage, as they drew it up im sure

yeah, amazing choice

texans tackling has been so bad that i'm desperately hoping they win and we get to see what lamar can do to them

anyone who deeply cares abt the outcome of this game must be losing their mind

This is the first Thursday Night playoff game.

holy shit

Allen keeps trying to lose, but can't quite manage it

didn't realize that romeo crennel was the texans DC and that...explains a lot

that qb sweep did not go well loll

bills lost like 45 yards on that pers foul that didnt even look like a flag the fix is in

!!!!!

Ok that’s it

Pathetic defense

good first game but the Bills only have themselves to blame for this loss.

on a foggy night in foxboro~

Here's hoping they got some good video of the Tennessee sideline

Pats D looking noticeably weaker in recent weeks. Not sure what's going on there.

henry is looking unstoppable lets put in mariotta

So everyone outside Boston is rooting for Titans tonight yeah?

hell yeah

They're going crazy for the Patriots here in Austin.

At least I am...

i mean gotta give em credit for taking the NFL's tendency towards joyless corporate fascism to its logical conclusion

dangerous to put the titans inside their own 20, they're in monstrous henry run territory

titans keeping themselves in it with the goal line stand

tannehill with the gift

not a great pass

Noooooooo

Wow I was wrong about this

This is some serious bullshit

the amount of gamesmanship during this punt is obnoxious

no way to anger the pats gods more than cheap rule bullshit like that

Too bad; the Patriots always winning heightens the contradictions more

Accelerationist NFL

no way to anger the pats gods more than cheap rule bullshit like that

Are you fucking kidding? Belichick is the Master of Playing Cheap Bullshit Games with the Rules.

brady had a passer rating of 59.4, tannehill's was 61.0

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2832576-all-sizzle-no-steak-dk-metcalf-is-a-1st-round-flop-waiting-to-happen

Houston Texans only home team to win this weekend

I know no one likes to talk about reffing but the Bills have legit reason to be upset

that DeAndre Carter play at the beginning of the 2nd, where he gets the kickoff in the end zone, then tosses the ball to the ref - technically that should have been a safety. the rulebook is actually pretty unambiguous about this. but the refs decided, "eh, spirit of the rule" and gave him the touchback anyway. I don't mind that call at all by the way. but later the Bills got called for a blindside block on a play that felt more like a technicality - the rule was made to prevent guys from getting leveled, not blocked away from the play for a second too long - and that call took them out of the edge of FG range, costing them a chance to walk it off

obviously the Bills did many many other things to lose that came but still

also lol @ the Saints losing another playoff game on missed pass interference

New Cowboys’ HC Mike McCarthy stayed over Jerry Jones’ house on Saturday night, per source. “Once you stay at Jerrry’s house, he doesn’t lose his guy,” said source.

"It looks like something that'd pop up on screen when I pick up a tricky split down at the bowling alley," Reddit user Throwwayback555 commented.

How are the Vikings even in this game?

Ok defense, one big play on o and a really bad jimmy g throw

Niners D looking sharp

i used to be a 49ers fan when i live in San Francisco. i moved back to Los Angeles, they moved to the South Bay and the Rams came back home. even though i will never give up on the San Francisco Giants, i'm no longer a 49ers fans, they were replaced by the Rams. anyways, the 49ers are looking really, really good for the first playoff game with this new outfit.

That vikings video is amazing

Is this score right

Hmm this Tannehill guy is pretty good

huge 3&10 by jackson & he whizzed that 1

hes floating/wobbling 1/3 passes

that man is fast

welp

byard’s shoestring tackle completely changed the game. probably saved a TD.

how are Chiefs fans feeling about this

they're CGI de-aging Christian Okoye

oh man big 2 point conversion coming up

Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts should be the #1 team for CBS. They are about my favorite NFL announcers.

TN looks pretty legit. I LOVE watching teams run the ball, hope it catches on.

er it would've been

well there went my Super Bowl favorite, now I have no fuckin' idea who is winning this thing

they were discussing that cut his dick off quote on the simmons podcast & mina kimes was like 'y his dick, y not his balls?!?' i lold idk

probably be Titans - Packers and somehow the Patriots will win

did you watch the niners game?

lol Tannehill is gonna win 2 playoff games without passing for over 100 yards

kinda frustrates me cos I want him to shed all of the criticisms of before and this will just allow everyone to say "Henry's doing all the work" even though he did a lot of lifting during the regular season

you hate to see all this

wow, but i always felt the Chiefs are the best team on the AFC side.

gonna miss the ravens, they were fun

jackson was still way fun to watch some of those moves tonight sheesh. the turnovers were backbreakers tho

well i give up and am watching football again

I did a comprehensive search and apparently nobody has ever pointed out that Mahomes has s goofy haircut and looks 15

Have you heard his voice?

omfg no I had not

What a start.

Is this score right

cheifs are down big early friends

huge if true

wow

Incredible.

tbh i was pretty stoked for this epic matchup

not what u do up 3 scores IMHO

what the

holy f

this game is cool now

this game is very cool

texan need to tie it now

theyre down 4 or whatever i guess

lmao cmon

"he kinda chunks it"

What a ride

absolutely wild

So is anyone gonna play defense this game or no

wtffffff that honda commercial

What the actual f

Did anyone bet Texans +10 lmaooooo

have the chiefs punted today

twice i guess

rip texans u were an fun but unsound football team

Weird ass game wtf

I think Mahomes is going to be pretty good

Why do I feel like this is gonna get close

Our defense just has nothing left, Packers need a TD now or this is over

I know I’m being dramatic but that 2015 NFCCG still burns in my memory

what an absurd throw from rodgers on third and 10 there

Wow they finally fuckin got him

perfect pass 2 seal it

Hey now!!! This was fun

niners pack on deck like days gone by

It’s beautiful

Niners are loaded, but would hate to see SF or the Pack win it all. Only redeeming quality of the Niners winning is that it would tie them back up with the Pats and Pittsburgh. Shanahan Jr. kinda looks like a pro poker player with that red ballhat.

I'm kinda hoping for Tennessee all the way, but I would be ok with KC winning the Superbowl. I got to see it before I believe it on an Andy Reid team winning it all.

idk how good LaFleur really is as a coach but the fact that GB is 13-3 and headed to the NFCCG despite this being arguably Rodgers worst full season since his rookie year makes the fact that McCarthy landed arguably the most coveted HC job in the NFL a tad perplexing

Man Tennessee fell apart but still impressive effort

Good team — glad to see KC finally back in the super bowl tho.

Pack gets in, we get an SB I rematch

Yeah uh I wouldn’t hold my breath

Gotta say when you’re an underdog who’s down by 17 the one thing you don’t wanna do is snap the ball into your own nutsack

As a lifelong Vikings fan with a pathological hatred of the Packers, I’m all for as much nutsack snapping as possible.

At least someone’s having fun watching this

I am

gonna have to think this over

49ers are really, really good.

That defense is healthy. And the running game is unstoppable

When was the last pass Garropolo threw

And first 49er penalty at the end of the third quarter. That’s well coached.

Uh oh

Nah

By the way can I just drop a big “fuck you” to Pete Carroll for taking that delay of game

Haven't been this interested in a Super Bowl since Seattle/NE probably.

yeah good matchup best young qb vs an alltime d

total toss-up too, the chiefs are slight favs according to Vegas and advanced stats, but it’s super close

i got da 9rs

49ers offensive line is god tier

d too

i'm rooting for andy. if we hadn't won one yet i'd feel differently (more bitter about his success) but now that the iggs have a bowl i'm happy if he gets his finally too. i'd guess most philly probably feels this way.

9rs are my familys team so theyre my secondary rooting interest

rooting for kc (i guess?) but do not expect them to win

it's so nice having this patriot-free final month tho

also it's nice to root for the generational QB talent with the offensive mastermind against the "best all around team"

i dunno who to go for, dont like either of them

but in terms of schadenfreude i want to see the 49ers lose the most

I've been noticing a lot of Raiders fans suddenly switching allegiances. Curious

to be fair, the raiders are moving away

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/sports/oakland-raiders-49ers.html

good opp for cross bay unity

after Vegas stops showing up to Raiders games, tehy should be a traveling team, a new city every year, no lease. nomad, vagabond, call them what you will

"america's (losing) team"

no Raider fan that I know would switch to become a Niner fan. no diehards would switch anyway. The hatred is deep and ossified. I’d rather let my fandom die with the Vegas move tbh

the only conceivable way you’d switch is if you’re one of those weirdos that are just random homers for local teams across the board, casual fans, or highly suggestible idiots.

like seriously it is only something that outside observers, Niners upper managment & non fans would postulate

Yea i mean it's a big palette change color wise

>:(

As always I’m rooting for a tie

Honestly it's not snark. The Davis family fucked the franchise more ways than you can count. Moving them to Vegas was the final spit in the eye.

I can't blame any fan that decided never to watch football again.

They will fail out there, too. Fans will be leaving at halftime to go to the buffet

Should i wear kap 7 jersey while supporting chefs y/n seems kinda bullshit but idgaf about this game too muxh.

Always wear Kap jersey

i’m sure there’s a book or article, maybe multiple, that addresses my questions below on the sociology of the nfl fandom, what is it?

what is more illogical, allegiance to an nfl team by “stadium geography,” or allegiance to any nfl team at all?

are we more accurately described as allies of our fellow fan-groups, or are we fans of coach-player groups? Or of logos? Or are we committed to owner/mgmt/coach biz “projects”?

stadium geography i think

i mean that's the meaning of sports fandom really - geographic pride

idk just like footy idk

i am nuts for a logo tho

Florida has a ton of transplant fans, which is probably why all three teams have trouble selling out their games. Everybody moving here to retire or for lower cost of living means we get lots of Jet fans (despicable), Cowboys fans, just fans from all over.

The allegiances in Florida at least somewhat depend on when you started watching football, where you live, and how many Florida teams existed at the time.

I live nowhere near Miami, but I became a Dolphins fan because my grandpa, a Giants fan who lived in NY, moved to FL, and decided to adopt an AFC team. At the time, the only Florida team was the Fins, so that was easy. by the time I was born, the Bucs existed but lived nowhere near us, and it was creamsicle era terribleness, so it became a way we bonded, watching the Dolphins together.

prior to the Jags, NFL fans seemed to gravitate towards Miami over TAmpa Bay cos Marino and also always in playoff contention, the Bucs were terrible. once the Dungy era started and they became good, a lot more people broke for Tampa Bay (or the ones in hiding came back), and once the Jags showed up...idk, idk if I recall the state EVER being fanatical about this team, just Duval county, who finally didn't have to travel 3 -5 hours to see a game. it did siphon away a bit from each team.

weirdly though I always felt like more of a Marino fan than a Dolphins fan growing up, to the point that when there were rumors after he was let go by Miami that he would wind up in Minnesota, I considered jumping to be a Vikes fan. never happened though.

I personally don't get the idea of abandoning an old team because you move. I do get adding a new team to root for though. like my grandpa did.

basically as long as you don't root for the Jets I won't vivisect you

should say Tampa was much closer to me growing up than Miami, but I followed in my grandpa's footsteps. when I go to games I usually have a moment where I'm going to my seat where I look up and say his name. we never got to go to one together.

geographic pride + before red zone etc your local team was the only one whose game you could see every week

though i do know a guy who grew up roughly equidistant from pittsburgh, cleveland and buffalo who became a cowboys fan 'because they were always on tv'

first teenager to ever retire at age 39

MANNINGSMIND (eli version)

Aaron Rodgers‘ comments about his Christian upbringing and questioning his faith have raised a lot of eyebrows — especially those of his estranged family.

During an intimate conversation with girlfriend Danica Patrick on her Pretty Intense podcast, Green Bay Packers quarterback said that he had trouble connecting with his religious community as a child.

“Most people that I knew, church was just… you just had to go,” the Super Bowl XLV champion recalled.

But Rodgers’ family was not impressed with his candid comments, a source tells PEOPLE.

“They were dismayed,” says the insider. “The family is very dedicated to their Christian faith.”

“To them, his comments are basically a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are. It’s basically him turning his back on everything they have taught him.”

Rogers, 36, has been estranged from his family – including Bachelorette star Jordan Rodgers – for several years. He has not spoken publicly about the reasons behind the estrangement, but the insider tells people that religion is a part of it.

“The feeling is that Aaron has really turned his back on them,” says the insider. “There’s clearly a lot more to it, but that’s how he is perceived by his family.”

“His comments are very hurtful to the family,” says the insider, who says that the family “still loves Aaron very much,” but disagrees with him about fundamental things. “They have these times where things start to thaw out, but then something like this happens, and then it’s back to square one. It’s sad.”

In a 2017 interview with the New York Times, the family patriarch, Ed Rodgers, said that “fame can change things,” and that Aaron allegedly stopped talking to his family members at the end of 2014, shortly after he began dating actress Olivia Munn.

During the Pretty Intense podcast, Rodgers told Patrick that he has gone down a path to a “different type of spirituality” that is more meaningful to him than what he experienced as a child.

“I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell,” he said. “What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?”

Rodgers did not specifically refer to himself as an atheist, but he said that religion can divide people.

“Religion can be a crutch, it can be something that people have to have to make themselves feel better,” Rodgers continued. “Because it’s set up binary, it’s us and them, saved and unsaved, heaven and hell, it’s enlightened and heathen, it’s holy and righteous … that makes a lot of people feel better about themselves.”

otm Aaron, you should just chill w/Danica and start a new family.

lol at framing this story as the poor Rodgers family that is hurt + sad who gives a fuck about them!

if that's what caused the friction between him and his family (and I know the article doesn't even remotely state that), that'd be so anticlimactic

stop making me like you, Aaron Rodgers

“What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?”

funny I had the same thought watching the 2015 NFCCG

Victor Frankenstein

Eli Manning

had no idea Eli made the Top 10 in so many categories, I guess just making it 200+ games as a starting QB will do that

especially in this era

lol at framing this story as the poor Rodgers family that is hurt + sad who gives a fuck about them!

I really don't like the Niners, but I love their type of football.

I hope they win and Jimmy G. only throws 4 passes this time.

I'm kinda thinking now SF should win, but I'd rather KC get a title than SF, even though I love the running back based offense. I still hate the Niners for being good for two decades and beating the Bears and Bengals a few times when it mattered.

Plus I think the Steelers, Niners and Pats all having 6 Superbowl titles would have to be considered a sign of the Apocalypse.

Also rooting KC but thinking SF.

lagoon better post here, hope there's not some dumb basketball game going on

I've enjoyed watching SF's old-school tactics this season, but I'd rather see KC win tonight and I think they will

you can replicate the experience of watching them any day of the year by scrolling through popular posts on twitter reddit and maybe a little facebook for 15 minutes

Agree

this is the game pace SF wanted

Yep.

hmm, another bad throw from mahomes, but still, ph34r him, he has a gear that makes him completely unstoppable and i hope he finds it

9ers pressure on him is real tho idk if hes gonna hit that killmode this game

*grumble* might be the nail

the pressure so relentless, wow

This is getting good

go cheeves go

one big play...

there it is

go for it?

must kick fg if overturned

doesnt look like conclusive evidence

Looks like he was def a little short though

looked out af but guess you're right. xp

and i think you fkn go for it if overturned. idk

Niners have been abysmal since that two drives ago

I think it was impossible to definitively say he was short.

Yeah no chance that was getting overturned

dude was oooooopen #fail

6 yards from a SB

niiiiice congrats KC and fans

you have to feel for the long-suffering fans of santa clara

Fml

what a weird game. but that's what turnovers do

Congrats to Andy Reid! Long time coming.

quite a journey

the cheeves swept me up in their scrappiness
yay cheeves

Wow, 49ers utterly collapsed

I had a bad feeling after the first TD to make it 20-17. But that three and out and losing Hill on a third and 15, that moronic PI, they just shat themselves

I am so happy for andy reid and also very pleased that this win also retroactively vindicates donovan mcnabb and the entire philadelphia eagles

I was rooting Chiefs but predicting Niners. Great comeback, super fun game. One of the better Super Bowls in recent memory.

Good for Andy. Now who’s the best active coach without a SB?

not sure who it might otherwise have gone to, but mahomes' stats were not that great for an mvp

xp ron rivera maybe?

I thought Williams would win MVP, with 130+ total yards and 2 TDs, including the go-ahead

xp ron rivera maybe?

Bruce Arians? (no rings as HC anyway)

President Trump congratulated the 'Great State of Kansas' after the Chiefs' Super Bowl win. They play in Kansas City, Missouri https://t.co/5b55PPBTr4

*sigh*

make america geography again

tbh i also thought they played in kansas and am now mad i can't make fun of that tweet

great game, happy for Reid. feels like when Peyton Manning finally won a Super Bowl and suddenly became part of the "greatest of all time" list

andy reid only has three (out of 21) losing seasons in his career as a head coach. his teams have won at least 10 games a year 14 times and he hasn't won fewer than 10 games since 2014.

pretty good.
