COVID Bowl Round 1 - 2022 Wild Card Thread

Keep in mind the Niners had lost Bosa and their starting middle line backer during the game. I think those 2 minute drills often work as the d-linemen are often just gassed and and often just don't have the pursuit play after play at the end of the game.

The daring call was the Niners going all out blitz (again I think go big or go home as they were down two of their best) to get the ball back on the drive before.

Cowboys and the Raiders both could have won their games but their usual dumb play brought them down.

I think Dalals would have had at least 2 shots at the end zone where they were located. Nature of pass interference, I think that is a decent set of odd myself.

Dalols

curious what the odds are of 2 shots from 40 vs. one shot from 20. I figured Dak would give you as good a chance from that far out as anyone not named Rodgers, Brady, or Mahomes, but idk how good he is from that deep.

McCarthy woulda had him throw a 5 yard pass and hope to lateral his way in

which tbh, is a legit thing that sometimes works but

I should probably add Josh Allen and Joe Burrow to that list

Never feel bad for Cowboys fans - the worst on earth.

Here we go, only game where I'm emotionally involved

Bee, I'd figure you for a NINERS fan (or at least Giants)...

Got to figure St. Louis would hope they both lose tonight. Too soon? Haven't seen that pointed out, but it is kinda funny.

is this the worst offense ever to appear in a playoff game

a challenger appears

Used to be 49ers fan but two things happened. 49ers are no longer in San Francisco and I moved back to Los Angeles. We got a team back in my home town and was easy to become a Rams fan.

I know Arizona looked like sitting ducks coming into the playoffs but -1 net yard on 4 drives yikes

The first 40 years of my life, that play was a catch, fumble, first down, but now we need 10 minutes of reviews to figure this all out.

lol no kidding

that said, challenging was the right move

love too survive the ground

jesus christ Kyler

extremely good move to challenge

Outstanding

That was a crazy play, bouncing all over the place

Cards can't catch a break

lmao

ohh fuck that did not look good

Kliff K is gonna go from belle of the ball to the hot seat quick

that team was completely unprepared to play football

i was a bit shocked, I expected a competitive match even though I fully expected the Rams to win.

kliff is not good. all my az friends been calling for his head for two+ seasons now. kyler also looked really scared/timid, that didnt help at all.

kliff is a charlatan lol, hired in the middle of the mcvay feeding frenzy. dude managed to have an under .500 record at texas tech with patrick frickin mahomes as his qb.

this is a long established pattern for him

Another Kliff Kingsbury regular season in the books!

Let’s update how he’s ended every season as head coach

'14: lost 4 of 5
'15: lost 4 of 6
'16: lost 6 of 8
'17: lost 6 of 8
'18: lost 5 of 5
'19: lost 7 of 9
'20: lost 6 of 9 (1 win by Hail Mary)
‘21: lost 4 of 5

Nick Bosa cleared concussion protocol. I guess you can't do that test where you ask the guy with the brain injury who the current president is anymore

Burrow has 236 passing yards and the Bengals have only scored 9 points

about 50 of them came on a meaningless end of half play

Bengals looking like way more of a #1 seed

that said down 10 halfway through the 3rd is exactly where the Titans shine

whoa that seemed to clearly hit the ground, surprised they didn't reverse it. guess the rule of cool wins out

that was one of the best throws i've seen in a while

If Tenn hadn't gone for two in the first half, they'd be winning rn

wouldn't have had to throw that either

so much crazy shit has happened in this game despite there not being a lot of scoring

brutal turn of events here

Happy for Cincy

They have a great kicker, all four of those would’ve been good from 60

Jimmy G is putting on an absolute Delhomme Game-level performance and yet somehow the Niners are only down a touchdown at the half.

Who could’ve foreseen our special teams fucking us

Well here we go

what a delightful result (sorry frog)

crazy to lose on two blocks like that

Yeah I don’t know if there’s a more painful way to lose

that has to be rodgers last game in a GB uniform

if it hadn't been for rogers, I'd only have a tepid interest in the niners winning, but rogers' antics in the past year made that outcome awfully sweet.
