Bills and Ravens. 

Big if true.

Get used to it. That kid is the truth and arguably the best QB in the division this year. 

There's no argument.  He is.

Its been entertaining reading so many people criticise the reffing of the Chiefs game.  It won't change anything, but it can't be healthy for the sport when the majority of comments about the game are not focused on the play on the field. 

As for today. Do your job. Play hard, make Stafford uncomfortable. etc etc

I am ready.  I've been working out for the food fest all week.

All this Commanders talk *today* is tempting fate.

Who had the lions are frauds on their bingo card? Goff belows but at least he threw for a lot of yards. 

I bet on commies with +8.5 and wasn't surprised they upset the lions but after that game I'm nervous about them. Having them at home for another super bowl would be a good problem to have. Gotta take care of the rams first though. 

Not happy about all the Daniel's knob slobbing I'm gonna have to listen to this week now.

I'm not convinced snow is an advantage for the Eagles. I hope I'm wrong. 

Refs just threw another flag for Mahomes. 

Go Eagles. 

 

I said a few days ago that the Lions defense is overrated and their stats come from beating up on bad teams. Any good team they faced, their defense got smacked around and were reliant on their offense to compensate. Couple that with a somewhat standard Goff game and you get last night. The 4 games leading up to the playoffs pre-Vikings they gave up 31 PPG.

I mean they lost like more than half their defensive guys to IR so yeah i guess eventually they would burn. Not hard to see coming

It is a little weird to have to win 3 consecutive games against teams with superior QBs to Hurts.  That's a big ask of Howie and even Siriani to put a team together that consistently does that.  But it sure looks like they can do it.

Was just about to post this very gif.  Very nice.

 

Eagles need to just take care of business today. If they win I’m sure the Eagles will get so sick of listening to all the Washington hype all week they will be fully motivated for the NFCCG, won’t surprise me if the Eagles are underdogs for that game.

The game is won in the trenches... or at least we gotta hope it is.  Our fronts are better than our opponents, we have the RB that can take advantage of that, and that might be enough.

 

Today, all that matters is Stafford and the Rams.  Take care of business today.  Survive and advance.

Hurts is 1-0 in outplaying his fellow QB. He's going to go 2-0 today.

I don't think they've been flagging hip drop tackles all season. They're just fining players

Brown was injured because of a hip drop tackle that was textbook

Not according to the NFL

Their D lost 5+ starters(16 are on IR), so the dam was likely going to break at some point. It did against the Commies and Goff did his LA thing on O

I'm expecting 4.  Read that it might be falling at a rate of an inch per hour for portions... so it will be heavy at times.   

Let's go!!!

Hopefully we are all talking about the Commanders matchup tonight...but I don't want to over-analyze them today of all days...but that loss, even after Hurts left the game, took a series of stacked and unlikely events just for them to beat our backup.  It felt like they needed to hit on a parlay just to win the game.  That's why I thought they would be the best possible wild card matchup, let alone conference championship game.

I've watched a few talking head videos on YouTube and they're all making the case that WAS has a great chance to beat the Eagles because they just won a month ago and are the only team to beat the Eagles since our bye and I'm like "No! They beat Kenny F'ing Pickett! Barely! Improbably!".

But anyway, first things first. Take care of business. Celebrate with snow angels. Then we can think ahead.

Sorry, but Jordan Love has done nothing to prove he’s a better QB.  If you’re talking about from just a pure arm talent perspective, then maybe. But how good a quarterback actually is goes way beyond that

I’m two hours west of Philly. Big flakes coming down now but no accumulation yet. 

The city of Detroit managed to pull off the sports trifecta yesterday. The pistons, red wings and lions all lost

I wonder how long it will take to accumulate. It was in the 40s late last night.

Genuinely the main reason I logged in here today was to get local weather updates from you guys. I grew up in Africa. To me - snow is something magical that only exists in fiction. So excited for a snow playoff game!

My truck read 34 when I ran out a little while ago. It didn’t feel bitter cold, but I’m guessing it won’t take too long for the ground to get cold enough to allow accumulation.

Just remember CJ Stroud looked amazing last year too. Daniels looks great but it’s year one.
