COVID Bowl Round 1 - 2022 Wild Card Thread

Wonder how many people took a nap when it looked like the Chiefs were gonna win 52-10

Besides Andy Reid

me, apparently

go Bengals, what a great story

Report from Kansas City on local news

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

Hell of a game and KC winning the toss again but losing anyway feels like some kind of justice

Bengals so much resemble one of those fun & long suffering teams that usually loses in the Wild Card round due to the obvious holes in their lineup but welp here we are. Hope they got one more in em

Love the Bengals finding the rushing game just when they need it to get to FG range without risking the pick

Burrow was not throwing a pick come on

Go Rams

Haven't actively followed pro ball for a few years now, though I kinda wish I'd watched last week's games. We're 50% of the way to the Burrow/Stafford super bowl I'd tune in for, though, so go Rams.

no discredit to cincy, kc gave me a real playing w their food vibe that game… from not getting pts at the end of the first half to mahomes holding the ball soo loong several times idk im sure the coverage was good but he needed to not try to make the perfect play and just let his best playmakers make a play… the coaching is def to blame as well

Yeah Chiefs final play of the 1st half was some galaxy brain Mike McCarthy shit

Burrow was not throwing a pick come on

you're probably right but he sure looked wild and wobbly towards the end of regulation

Stephen A is on one right now

See what I’m saying, @danorlovsky7. This dude Stafford is very difficult to trust man. Why in the hell would he throw that pass. This is what I’m talking about man. He’d better not lose to know damn Porn Star Jimmy!

Burrow is a vibes QB and vibes QBs don’t throw picks in that situation

So happy for Cincinnati. I have no real horse in this second race, but SF have my thanks for keeping Green Bay out of this, so let’s go Niners.

Deebo god damn

Sheesh Stafford had two TDs dropped and had to settle for a missed FG

Yeah this game is driving me crazy

Picking up the flag is the right call

Oh shit no Deebo

He’s back already

49ers really do have the Rams number

You just know taking that time out is going to be costly

At least I can breathe again

Rams are going to wish they had those time outs

Why challenge, it's fourth down?

Called that one and now no time outs

Way too conservative

Here we go

appears to be awfully difficult to catch the ball today

Kupp

Jimmy G legacy drive incoming

i dont like how shanahan respects the troops thats against the spirit of san francisco

my Bengal fan friend got so drunk that he tripped over a glass table, fell backwards, and gashed his nose

can't judge i guess

Jimmy G legacy drive incoming

welp

oh well, no 1981/1988 rematch.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

lol Niners going out in a blaze of stupid

can't really quibble with either team winning. though obv I'll pull for the team that's never won over the Rams, but that Rams team that won was like 22 years ago

that was one of the weirdest looking game-ending plays I've ever seen

so after 50+ years of it never happening, two consecutive Super Bowls played on one of the team's home fields.

Life makes no sense

😀

Happy for Matty Stafford. Will he get a ring? Who knows. But he deserves to play in the Super Bowl at least once before he's done.

yeah after years of futility on the Lions I'm happy to see him have a go.

Bengals must have the worst offensive line to ever play in a Super Bowl

The full list of teams to make the Super Bowl with regular-season DVOA below 10% from highest to lowest:

2012 Ravens
1996 Pats
2000 Giants
1993 Bills
2001 Pats
2011 Giants
1987 Skins
2007 Giants
2021 Bengals
2003 Panthers
2008 Cardinals

kinda wanted Handsome Jimmy to bungle his way into the Super Bowl but this is good too. Stafford deserves a chance and this team sold out so much to compete now, I like when that's rewarded
