Rodgers throwing 4 touchdown passes in his last game… while on drugs. Impressive

how so?

I’m not sure how Mcvay "knows” either. 

There are 2 matchups from week 1 in the wildcard and could be a 3rd. Eagles/Packers, Commanders/Bucs, and possibly Lions/Rams.

I’d say his track record speaks for itself.  Won the SB, and has revamped and fielded a competitive team rather sooner than most expected

More than any other NFC coach?

They barely snuck in to the playoffs the last 2 years.

Hes not that impressive. One of the most over-rated coaches in the league. Him and Shanahan in SF. 

Too conservative has cost both of those guys a bunch of times in big games.

Gardner-Johnson has become less of a liability since then. He blew a bunch of big plays in week 1. Now hes more so only a liability in the red zone. 

We had Devin White starting, rather than Dean, or Burks. 

Baun was in his first game in his new role and quite honestly didnt look that fantastic yet.

There was NO pass rush. Lots of players emerged along the DL. Carter was being talked about as a disappointment through the first few weeks of this season. Sweat wasnt doing anything. Nolan Smith had not emerged. Huff wasnt even getting pressures. 

Maddox was starting at Nikel.

 

GB will see a totally different defense on the field this time. Different, and much better.

Even with that said, the sucky defense that took the field in week 1 only looked as bad as it did because of a few slips on that stupid soccer field. 

Better talent, better understanding of the scheme, and better footing. Packers arent going to know who this team is. Not who they saw week 1. 

White didn't even dress.  Baun had two sacks, a TFL, and 15 tackles.

Meh…we can agree to disagree.  I know you love Sirianni so you’re a bit biased.  It’s fine

Pretty sure Devin White was inactive week 1. Not sure he even made the trip down.

I prefer the old system, where we'd have clinched the 2 seed in Week 15.  Get the backups in for Week 16... and then HAVE A BYE as the 2 seed!!!

Yeah I miss the old system too. Having a 7 seed has really done nothing for playoffs. 

The Elliott situation is real, a serious problem, and almost guaranteed to rear its head in the playoffs. It scares the crap out of me and it’s going to impact Siri’s decision making as far as deciding when to go for it and when to attempt a kick. It’s really the only and biggest weakness this team has.

I hope we get Packers @ Eagles on Saturday night but probably won't since lame Flyers have a home game on Saturday night.

 

Therefore my guess is:

Broncos @ Bills 4:30 Saturday 

Steelers @ Ravens 8:30 Saturday 

 

Redskins @ Bucs 1 PM Sunday

Lions/Vikings @ Rams 4:30 Sunday

Packers @ Eagles 8:30 SSunday

 

Chargers @ Texans MNF

Ain't no way in hell the Texans get a prime time game. They are destined for the Saturday afternoon, no one cares time slot.

Yeah i think they are that early Saturday game against the chargers. I’d be really surprised if the SNF isn’t ravens vs. Steelers.

If you wanna say they are overrated in game coaches sure but they can scheme a game plan as good as any coach in the league 

Rooting for the lions here. Would rather go to Detroit over minny

I love the added threat of a QB taking off and running. But thats about the last thing Id ever think about saying McKee needs to learn right now. Id be thrilled to see him clean up some accuracy on the roll outs, and make a few better decisions. Arm was solid, but that can improve some too. And when he is as good as he looks like he could be, I still wont be thinking about him running because he proved how effective he can be finding the outlets and actually gaining yards that way. 

McKee will be McKee. I'm not the kind of person that expects every QB to be mobile too. There are times when some QBs throw the ball away when they could extend a drive with their feet. Non-running QBs will see more opportunities to make plays with their feet because defenses will play them differently. I think Penn State kind of shared that message with Drew Allar and he was able to take advantage of those opportunities a few times at critical moments. It's not a bad thing--- but nobody should take a player like McKee and try to make him play Josh Allen style football.  

I like McKee and think he may be a bit more "elusive" than given credit for. It's hard to say for sure what might change with just giving him our real O-LIne to play behind, but we needed McKee to pass to win today because we just couldn't run against the giants today. 

Lmao

Usually after the snf game. Sometimes it leaks during halftime 

What happened with Devonte Wyatt? I feel like I haven't heard his name much. Does he even start?

1 hour ago, Sack that QB said:

This is the guy who was banging Joy Taylor and she ruined her marriage for. I'm impressed at how career driven she is.

(btw he didn't lose his marriage, I'm sure his wife didn't wanna hop off the gravy train)

He may have not been able to turn Fox Sports around, but he turned Joy Taylor around hiyooo.

The lawsuit saying she planned to just say it wasn't consensual when she was done is pretty messed up

Im not comparing the two. That has no bearing on my assessment on McVay. I have said for years that hes overrated.

She comes off as a see you next Tuesday so I’m not surprised by that

You can say that. And yet it doesnt really absolve the idiotic path through the NFC that he just opted for. 

Put me down for:

Sat 4:30 Chargers @ Texans
Sat 8:00 Steelers @ Ravens

 

Sun 1:00 Commanders @ Buccaneers
Sun 4:30 Broncos @ Bills
Sun 8:00 Packers @ Eagles

Mon 8:30. Lions/Vikings @ Rams.  (the NFL will give the loser of tonight's game a soft landing spot)

 

I could also see the Saturday and Sunday 1:00 games flipping.
