NFL Thread III

[the tourist]

Akers just murdered the Seahawks in the first half.

 

[bono_212]

Jesus christ. This game really annoyed me. Also I really don't like the Rams. So there's that.

 

[bono_212]

Oh cool, and the Seahawks are clearly just ready to go home.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Yeah this is one of the worst playoff games I’ve seen in a while

 

[bono_212]

At least it didn't stay field goal central, but my God.

 

[bono_212]

I retract this statement:

Oh cool, and the Seahawks are clearly just ready to go home.

The TD doesn't matter... But I still take it back.

 

[bono_212]

Haha, I was literally saying to Travis, "I don't think the Seahawks line is that bad..." as it collapsed to end the game.

 

[the tourist]

It wasn’t that bad throughout the regular season aside from maybe 2-3 games.

But the real problems today were that they couldn’t stop the run (something happened they’ve done well all season), Russell was having accuracy issues (which is very atypical), and a few receivers who are usually more sure-handed dropped a few.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I definitely think the accuracy issues and glaring drops were extremely atypical from that Seahawks offense and that triggered my “worst playoff game I’ve seen in a while” comment.

 

[bono_212]

How about that final game, though? That was a hell of a good time.

 

[Hewson]

Played pretty well

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm happy.

Fuck it, get Heinecke some weapons and see what happens. On occasion, UDFAs come through.

 

[DaveC]

browns vs bills is the AFC championship 2020-21 deserves

 

[Hewson]

If Cleveland wins the Superb Owl, we know the world is actually coming to an end.

 

[phanan]

Two years removed from a Super Bowl win, and Peterson is out. Harsh.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I think a series of poopoo decisions after the fact can quickly negate living in the past.

It reminds me of Claudio Ranieri in Leicester in the premier league. Definitely deserved to be let go.

 

[DaveC]

i don't think doug was the problem. literally every time a quarterback who doesn't audible out of most of the plays he calls went into the game, the entire offense got noticeably better.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Hey I'm late to the party.

The Giants only have themselves to blame for missing the playoffs.

What Doug Pederson did was disgraceful.

Both things can be true.

[bono_212]

Philip Rivers is one of my all-time favorite quarterbacks, and I honestly have been a little (ridiculously) emotional about him retiring. I think it's partially because I really got into football during college, and we're now very close to all of the star QBs from that time period being gone. Brees, Brady and Rodgers don't have much left and Rodgers wasn't even our starting QB then. Just kinda makes me feel old all-around, I suppose.

On another note, I'm also very sad to hear about the passing of Ted Thompson. I was pretty harsh on him towards the end of his tenure as the Packers' GM, but honestly, the team would not be where it is, nor have the longevity it's had, without him. He always believed in growing the team from within and it's led to continued success, even past his retirement. Hell, Davante Adams was the WORST WR of all time for a brief moment, and Ted still believed in him enough to resign him. And thank goodness for it.

Players, colleagues, friends remember Ted Thompson

 

[MrPryck2U]

Mahomes is gonna play.

 

[Hewson]

Never thought otherwise.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Never thought otherwise.

I figured he'd need more than a week to recover.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I think heesahn’s comment was more a shot at the NFL

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Green Bay plan on playing in third down in this game or nah?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That was an absolutely awful first half by Green Bay.

Also known as a typical NFC championship game for Green Bay.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This game is awful

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Lmao what was that kickoff return slide? Seems like the bucs wanted to explicitly ensure that the packers would benefit from the 2 minute warning.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Why in the name of Favre did they not go for it on 4th down?

 

[lazarus]

Was wondering that myself. But it was on the 8 yard line, right? They have to complete that and the 2-pt conversion to tie the game, maybe too tall of an order.

Brady is very lucky only 1 of his 3 INTs was turned into a GB touchdown.
