COVID Bowl Round 1 - 2022 Wild Card Thread

Man Twitter is being very mean to us right now lmao

pretty sure if we actually were to ask most NFL players about their views and have them returned to us on a paper questionnaire, we'd be horrified by at least 35% of the responses, if not a lot more.

not to diminish the douchiness of A-Rodg, but this isn't exactly a forward thinking sport.

lord though, if San Fran wants to advance any further, Jimmy G is gotta do more than this turd of a performance.

reaches the NFC Championship without having thrown a single TD pass in the playoffs

jimmy win baby

guessing tomorrow will be the boring day where the home teams win

Rams fan here but regardless they should beat the Bucks this year

packers ranked 32nd in the nfl in special teams, per dvoa. they somehow performed even worse than that.

i mean the special teams were horrible but the fact that Throw Rogan couldn't put up more points that that is pretty damning, it shouldn't have been close enough for that to be possible

Yeah hard to point too many fingers specifically when you score 3 points in the final 58 minutes of the game

Funny how so much of the off-season drama revolved around Rodgers wanting more of a say in personnel decisions which led to them bringing back Cobb, who he basically didn’t look for at all

can you imagine if the 49ers had a QB? they would be terrifying

Someone on Twitter pointed out that since passing up Rodgers for Alex Smith they’ve gone 4-0 in the playoffs vs. GB while also going to more Super Bowls

i generally resent being exposed to celebrity opinion and deed but at least with arog it was kind of funny how he blew his perfect reputation to go on podcasts for dummies and talk about his research

Lol @ Throw Rogan

I also saw “Breitbart Starr” last night

the antivaxx shit is one thing, I know plenty of people who are incredibly weird galaxy brains on the subject and you could almost argue they’re victims of misinformation or whatever. But then using his latest interview to go full Hannity and start talking about election fraud and the “fake White House”? Whining about being “silenced” all the time? Fuck him.

...tough one to watch back. Rodgers will be sick with himself when he sees it on the film. Ugh. pic.twitter.com/caI79hZIbV

I’ve always defended Rodgers when it comes to the Packers playoff failures but this is pretty bad. He’s got 3 options down the field - MVS open for a touchdown, Lazard wide open for like a 30+ yard gain, but he winds up going to Adams who is double covered. Given the situation if he makes a different decision the Packers almost certainly win. Frustrating because Rodgers rarely fucks this up; this is like rookie QB shit. Special teams deserve a lot of blame too but this loss is mostly on him.

I've seen such good stuff. QBAnon, #shotenfreude, Bon Iver-mectin.

The blocked field goal attempt used to be such a frequent and exciting feature of watching NFL in the ‘70s/‘80s. I’m not totally sure why it seems so hard to do nowadays. Was thrilled that SF accomplished one and threw in a blocked punt as well. For that matter I loved that GB got all those sacks - that also felt like a throwback to the days when defense was fun.

Well this game is getting mighty weird

So who counted out Touchdown Tom

HOW IS THIS HAPPENING

Stunning

I watch five minutes of football a year, and that was my five minutes--I was rooting for Brady, but what a finish.

I was kind of rooting for Brady too just because it would’ve been so fucking funny but Cooper Kupp would not be denied

Cannot imagine the emotions Rams fans would’ve been going through the last 20 minutes

lets go bills

If this game goes the way I expect it to this may be one of the most nuts divisional rounds ever

Mahomes is unfair

rams/bucs was insane

jesus christ that Bills drive took no time.

Allen hurdling that guy then doing a spin move was some Madden shit

my mother said WHO IS THAT, thinking it was a running back, and I said "It's Allen!"

sick bomb

pretty cool

Both these QBs are unfair

Like how many yards has Mahomes gotten after first being contacted 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage

Allen bulldozes two Chiefs

he already had the first down too

he sent one of them to the tent!

Holy shit what a drive

holy shit man

damn

wild

Josh Allen is like some mythical beast

Wonder how much the Chiefs trust their kicker right now

oh my fucking god

A minute might be too much time

might be the best football game i have seen

WHAT THE FUCK JOSH
