the Matt Patricia 2018-19 playoff nfl thread

Quenton Nelson is a BEAST.

Colts is a scary team!!!Wow, What an impressive win. Welcome to the playoffs!

The thing I have read on the Colts is that their young O-line and D-line are for real. Bob Kravitz of Indy Star seems pretty impressed and he was a bit of local critic of some things Indy did back in the Manning days.

ahaha i know him - bob kravitz did deflategate

it doesn't seem impossible for them to beat kansas city

ok i *really* question attempting to kick that. guys

Sebastian Janikowski is so very glad they are not wearing the lime green unis tonight. It is not a flattering look for him.

I'm also not sure that Jerry Jones is keeping around Jason Garrett in some type of Dorian Gray spell. That might explain a few things.

man the Chargers and Ravens both fuckin suck

today that is

coward's call by the ref, that was a fumble

lmao ravens -2 passing yards currently holy hell

guess it took a dozen drives to warm up

lol

man if they just had stopped being totally incompetent a couple drives earlier this could be genuinely exciting

chargers could have downed crabtree short of the 1st down line if they hadnt been complaining lol

ah TD anyway

oh man that was a sick play call on 3rd down too

been there, feels bad

I'm not being hyperbolic when i say there's still no single individual in Los Angeles who knows the Chargers aren't in San Diego anymore, let alone anyone who knows they won a playoff game today.

I watched some of the Seahawks/Cowboys yesterday after ignoring most of the season and that was some dull, dispiriting football. Thankfully I missed seeing the horrifying ankle injury live.

let's go birds

lmao what a farce

what a weird half. this ref seems in over his head a bit

whistles are meaningless; every single play should end with one team or the other running the ball into the end zone because maybe they’ll overturn the tackle

TD eagles!

Seems the only winning strategy for Philly is to have Chicago commit a bunch of penalties

damn getting tense

looking for the malcolm butler goal line INT on that last play

omfg

wow iggles

Hoooooly shit eagles

Taking that TO seemed insane but damn

wtf this game

like i didn't think trubisky could do that

Yeah I honesty didn’t think Mitch was built for this kind of situation but that was awesome

LMAO

WHAT

wow unbelievable ending

LMAOOOOOOO

i honestly at no point thought he was gonna make that but hitting the post and crossbar is a timeless masterpiece of a kick

LOL... #FLyEaglesFly

If they gained two more inches....

that is absurd, but what a perfect symbolic ending to the Bears' season. Parker 23/30 in the regular season, and that Detroit game...

*Parkey

he is so gone

Do kickers ever really come back from a miss like that

i think if Parkey had been an amazingly reliable kicker throughout the season it might be a different story but he was...not.

Watching it again I don’t think I’ve ever seen a missed FG like that. Was like half a rotation away from bouncing in off the crossbar. God loves the Eagles I guess

yes She does

she played hard to get for a lot of years

yeah i liked that one

oh and I got mad at the Michelob ad

ive seen michelob advertised my whole life but i dont think ive ever witnessed someone drinking one

i haven't seen anybody drink a michelob since various family parties in the early 90s

The Bud Light/Game of Thrones crossover was pretty wtf, and not in a good way.

the main theme i sensed in the commercials was "look at all these robots who are sad they can't be human"

I liked that the Game of Thrones / Bud Light one had absolutely no twist at the end. The goofy Bud Light characters just get murdered and that's it.

xp

Only because I expected some light hearted shift at the end. As one would, given the way food brands insist on associating strictly with safe, good vibes.

really wanted the Bud Knight to be revealed as this guy

hated the amazon ads above all other bad ads. "alexa isn't really that interesting but look at all this money we threw at familiar faces! our stuff breaks a lot lol!"

to me the car commercials were the worst, "here's an inspiring story about triumphing over adversity, much like Audi did when we fit 450 horsepower in a mid-size sedan..."

i'd be curious about the ratings for this game, on one hand you've got this very popular dynastic team that at the same time everyone is sick of, on the other hand you have the default most popular football team in a massive metropolis that is only mildly aware of (and deeply disinterested in) the two local teams.

maybe no one watched it and it didn't happen

44.9, lowest since steelers/cards 10 years ago

i hated that asmr michelob ad

and i could give a crap about cornsyrup beer vs windpower beer

i was amused that "not made with corn syrup" is a selling point for american beers

the michelob ad had a pretty crazy mix on my buddy's surround sound setup but that's all i can say about it

the one where the alexa was having existential despair and the guy told it to play funky town was pretty funny

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2819177-julian-edelman-solidified-hall-of-fame-career-with-super-bowl-mvp-performance

ok

Having a healthy Edelman and Gronk was a huge factor, but Edelman played like he always does, shouldn't be a surprise. I personally think Sony Michel deserves more credit.

if the MVP had gone to a pats defender, who should it have been?

Hightower

Gilmore tho

Where's Gisele?

I don't see Goofy either, just sayin...

cute

dang that did not go where i was thinking it would

realizing boston sports radio will STILL be complaining that the game sucked

listened to one boston sports radio show today and for most of it, the hosts, guest and callers sound disappointed or disgusted or so mad they're ready to throttle somebody while reviewing this game wtf

except for occasional podcast ep, i don't listen to sports radio or watch the ESPN talk shows, is the culture of it as extremely fucked up as it seems to me? like what is the matter with all these angry men who know everything?

yes

its awful for sure

The ESPN LeBatard/Stugats show is pretty much played for jokes (kinda) most of the time.

yeah their show rules
