2016-17 divisional rd

the after party in ATL is probably gonna be sick tonight

tell u what this is a good ol fashioned football butt kickin right here

hester still got it tho

amazing how long he's been an amazing returner, esp in the touchback era. used to be such a one-hit wonder position.

this is the thing, FAlcons will score 35 points while spotting you 20-25, and that's their downfall, but their Dh as been much better today, but that could be as much the Seahawks inconsistency with the ball as per usual this year.

ruh roh, Julio better be ok

lol at Pete Carroll's wry "alright, you got us" grin on that overturn

only way Texans are winning this is if they have some amazing trick plays and score on all of them

lol @ shot of belichick scowling just now

lololol there's a bailout and a half

feel like the Texans scoring a TD requires stars aligning in ways that they never align

awful drop

if Houston thinks they're gonna win this game with all dump-off and underneath passes they are naive as fuq

holy shit dion lewis

I hate the patritos so much.

christ, Texans can't even score a TD on a short field.

Simms going out of his way to insinuate they're doing better this week but he's so RONG, this is typical Texans, settling for field goals all the damn time.

wow holy shit.

just kick the field goal now, Texans

oh man

wtf pats

hahahaha the mic picked up a Patriot screaming "oh, SHIT" on the fumble

wow that was nicely designed

houston hello

so sloppy

Simms was talkin about how the Patriots never turn the ball over while a stat showed they lead the league in fumbles on kick returns and punt returns

like ok sure their core offense doesn't, but that dude loves forcing narratives regardless of what the facts actually say

right that was how cyrus jones lost his job as returner after messing up a couple.. and the next guy up also fumbled one (was that amendola? don't recall)

of all the games I didn't expect to get exciting

problem w/ Miller is he isn't an explosive back, he's just a dude that will get you consistent yardage which is good if you're a ball control offense that can move the chains consistently, but not when your linemen or receivers get penalized all the time and your QB can't convert third downs like ever.

Still doubt Houston is winding up with 20 at the end of this

#boom

xpost considering they've had three drives begin in Patriot territory and two that started in FG range and they scored a whopping ten points on those drives, I would agree

Houston's d could win this game tho if they keep playing lights out like this.

Yea reminding me a bit of the AFC championship but Houston still needs to score like 10 more points at least and their offense looks like a 3-and-out machine

Thats like the 3rd dropped pick by the Pats today

Osweiler bro there are some QBs good enough to thread a ball between four defenders but you ain't it. know your role, foo.

xpost I am thinking the defense will actually need to score

they reminds me of the 2000 MIami Dolphins w/ Jay Fiedler and Lamar Smith in that the offense needs like special accommodations to do anything

wow Clowney, damn

Holy shit Clowney

foreeeeever to throw just now. nice

pushoff by Edelman, so shocked

still a good result for the Texans going into halftime. few people thought this one would be close.

but seriously they're only scoring on a double reverse flea flicker lateral if they score again at all. their offense is so vanilla New England could shut it down in their sleep.

gonna have to win with field position and giving up passes like that won't do it

outside of their tendency to give up 40 yard pass plays, this Houston defense is playing excellently

I felt like the decision to drop back into coverage was the right one there tho

Houston's gotta be really reeling from that kick return tho.

td saving tackle by Clowney

woooooow

is New England averse to running or somethin

holyyyyyyyy shit

man that's a huge stand

most all of the remaining playoff teams just have major flaws this year.

the two teams you'd call 'great' at the end of the regular season were New England and Dallas, and one of them is gone.

Green Bay has a mediocre defense and have a converted WR playing RB (doing a helluva job tho). Pittsburgh has solid offense but despite it's solidifying in the playoffs, its defense isn't remotely comparable to Steelers past. The Chiefs are offensively mediocre despite having a fairly solid defense and amazing special teams.

Atlanta's defense improved significantly the second half of the year but you can still score on them.

KC about to pull out all the stops and punt, nobody will see it coming

a very andy reid timeout

Chiefs have a way of making even simple 2 yard gains look like a lot of work

I hate Ben and his stupid face and his stupid nose

i think that drive equaled their time of possession for the rest of the game.

dear god KC

pathetic

so do you onside here? Andy kinda made that a question now thanks to his timeout

that was a disaster

Andy and his assistant are arguing about what restaurant they're gonna eat at after the game

prediction: this goes straight up

lol

F'in hustle play by KC there.

Andy putting a lot of unearned faith in his D here

Green Bay's D did do pretty good with sacks especially in the second half. Their DBs are completely tore up and I would not be surprised they will have a guy they hire off the street that might play next week.

oh man here we go

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

And again Andy Reid has no timeouts...

dang

great, two teams I hate in the AFC championship

It is a no win when the only thing standing between NE and another title is the Steelers. Very sad.

no one tell pitt about touchdowns before next weeks game

I admire Rodgers as a player, but being a Bears fan the green and gold make me want to hurl too.

All I got to say is go Dirty Birds!

Packers and Steelers Superbowl would be pretty iconic thou.

could have a rematch of 2011's Super Bowl, or could have a rematch of 1996, or .....could have Atlanta.

wouldn't mind seeing new blood take it tbh

as exciting as the last two minutes of the GB/DAL game was it really was marred by a couple of really bad coaching decisions - McCarthy deciding to run it on 2nd down at the Dallas 34 was incredibly dumb, basically playing for the long FG with a kicker who's historically really shaky in these situations, 1:30 and all 3 timeouts is an eternity and your defense is totally gassed, lo and behold they get it in FG range in two plays. then Garrett outdoes him by spiking the ball despite having :50 left, which is idiotic, that's like the one thing everyone knows about Aaron Rodgers right now DON'T LEAVE HIM ANY TIME ON THE CLOCK

anyway my heart rate is finally back to normal. Crosby's second attempt at the game winner looked like such a shank at first.

thank God he blew the ball to the right

yeah I was watching the game w/ my Packer fan friend who was apoplectic when they tied it and I was like "dude - 35 seconds to go 35-40 yards for Aaron Rodgers?".....

me vs bobby spirals/lag∞n/call all destroya/daria (sometimes)?

i claim djp tho

pretty sure pitts gonna lose and actually big ben rothlesburger will die during the first half

also the patriots will win on a tuck rule call

seems possible, depending on ball inflation

the balls will be inflated to the highest standards of nfl equipment manager bom trady

surely you mean nfl equipment manager godger rodell

yes him too

malcolm butler vs antonio brown is usually fun to watch but otherwise p bored of watching steelers games

turns out crippling food poisoning goes with watching alex smith play qb like a nice sauternes goes with the dessert course.

rewatching that sack on Rodgers in the 4th, I cannot believe he held onto the ball there. like 80% of the QBs in the league fumble when they get hit like that, including Rodgers who has turned it over that way many times (most notably in OT during that Wild Card game vs. Arizona). damn this game had all the elements of the gutpunch loss, except the actual loss.

malcolm butler vs antonio brown is usually fun to watch but otherwise p bored of watching steelers games

weird; neither of these players are dan snyder employees
