Congrats to the Kitty's. I was five last time they won a playoff game. I'm 36 now. And we think we have it bad. Go Bills!

I'd like to see them do some damage in the AFC. But, they have to play better next week. If they don't capitalize in the red zone more, they won't beat the better teams.

My late Grandfather was a Bungal fan (after his beloved Colts left town) so I'm pulling for them.

No, not at all, because the right call was made

But the right call wasn't made though.

Nick and Gannon shouldn't overthink things tomorrow. Run the ball and make the Bucs defend the sidelines. If David plays, make him run everywhere because I don't know if he will be able to finish that game on a bad hammy.  Mix coverages up on Brady and don't just sit back and play off-coverage zones.  Don't play Kerrigan if Sweat can't go.  Use Avery and Milton Williams more than Kerrigan. Kerrigan is useless now.

I knew if this game finished close they would come back to the phantom whistle.

I started following the game in the 1992 season. The Bengals and Lions are the only teams I hadn't seen win a postseason game. Now the Lions stand alone. Don't think I'm seeing them win a playoff game any time soon.

I wonder if they would rather face the titans or the KC. The Bengals beat Kansas City but it was in Cincinnati. Different in arrowhead. Also KC likely have a better gameplan the second meeting.  And going against mahomes who is very dangerous. I feel like I’d take my chances on the titans cause tannehill hasn’t been great this year even with jones, brown and Henry back. Titans like KC are also susceptible to the pass as they rank 25th in the league.

The Lions need a lot of help on defense.  I do think they have some nice pieces on offenses though with Hockenson, St. Brown and Swift.  If they can at least upgrade Goff and get a few defensive pieces, then they can start moving in the right direction.  I'm not sold on Campbell as a HC though.   But, I'm not sure that there were a lot of candidates that wanted that job.

Better chance at seeing the lions eat knee caps.

I think the Bengals could beat the Titans because they just seem more explosive than the Titans. But, if the Bengals played like they did today against KC, they won't beat them.  They have to be better.  They should've destroyed the Raiders by halftime today.

That's true. I  just took the Bills -4.5. So yes go Bills 🤗

Yeah I think they need to be better against the run because Derrick Henry will exploit it more. And they also have to convert in the red zone instead of settling for field goals. I have a feeling that game is gonna be like that bills/Titans game earlier this year on mnf that ended 34 to 31 inside the 5.

Eagles need to make sure they don't get too down too early because then they might abandon the run.

It's more than likely that TB will take their 1st possession and go right down the field for a score as Gannon always plays his Charmin defense to start the game.

Didnt the Lions beat the Cowboys in the playoffs in 1992?

They need to play press coverage and also defend the RB dump off passes. Make Brady throw it deeper, which means he has to hold the ball longer.  If he hits deeper passes in 30 MPH winds, then hats off to him. But, don't make it easy for him. I hate the little RB dump offs that go for 10+ yards.

It is is going to be some drastically different teams.  Bucs none of the players mentioned in the tweets but they will have the GOAT Gronk available when he wasn't in the first game.  Eagles defense has been especially bad covering TEs this year.

On the other side Eagles will now have Lane Johnson, Dallas Goedert & Jordan Howard while also having found a very effective and working offensive identity compared to the failed ineffective pass heavy ugly RPO offense that wasn't really working.  

 

I like how overlooked the Eagles are heading into this game with the Bucs as undermanned as they are right now heading into this game.  I don't like how Brady just lost out on 1st team All Pro though.  I think like Jordan that results in a chip on Brady's shoulder and he plays pissed off tomorrow.  

I thought Allen was throwing that away.

1992, following the 91 season. I started following in week 4 or 5 of the 92 season when both the Eagles and Cowboys were 3-0 and scheduled for a MNF game at the Vet.

So naturally, the Eagles will come out throwing.

Gotcha. I'm old so my memory is not the great anymore.

However I do remember that thrashing they did to the Cowboys.

How can you say the opening touchdown of a wild card game is in the territory of the Montana-Clark TD?

I'll be surprised if Gronk doesn't have over 100 yards tomorrow. Just don't let Evans feast, too. If Slay can lock down Evans and if the Eagles can cover the RB dump off passes well, then Gronk getting yards won't necessarily do us in.

Gotta come out with a bad gameplan until we're down 10-0 then adjust. This seems like our status quo.

Great play by Allen.
