Texans/Bills from like 4 years ago is one of my favorite playoff games. That game was stupid drunk.

One of my favorites was when HOU went up on KC 24-0 and couldn't even hold that lead until halftime.  That 2nd quarter the Chiefs went Elaine on the Texans:

Yup I lost a bet last June. It wasn’t my idea to bet avatars, I couldn’t care less about them. 

I think avatar bets are fun, and I have a great one for 4for4 when the time comes.  Combines sports with something like you currently have.

That has to be the game @LeanMeanGM is thinking of.

To each their own man.

Niners

Jags

Bills

Vikings

Bengals

Buccaneers

Imo the two biggest toss ups are the Vikings-giants and jags-chargers. I can see those games going either way. Feels like Minnesota playing with fire all year winning close games eventually is gonna catch them. Probably would be on a late kick as Vikings playoff history has that trend. Jags beat down the chargers in week 3. Chargers healthier now. Doug has the experience and the chargers are the chargers. I totally can see the jags win that game. 

I want Tampa Bay to win that game because I hate Dallas. And Dallas hasn’t played well on the road lately. But I’ve watched Tampa enough where if it weren’t the mystic of Tom Brady at QB then i think we view it differently. They don’t pass protect well which isn’t good as Dallas if their pass rush is effective then the rest of their defense is effective. They don’t run block well which Dallas D you can run on them. In the 5 Dallas losses they’ve given up 152, 136, 207, 192 and 151 yards. That’s 167.6 rushing yards per game and 4.7 yards per carry. Now tampa ran well week 1 but they’ve gotten worse all year not better. You can run on Tampa as well so Dak doesn’t have to throw as much. Tampa was 15th against the run. I’d say Bucs have the coaching advantage but i think Bowles and leftwich leave a lot to be desired. Frankly as much as i don’t like mccarthy, i trust moore and Quinn more than leftwich and Bowles.

Are you thinking Texans Chiefs ??

Texans up 21-0 after the 1st quarter, then the Chiefs score 24 in the second quarter ??

Nope. It was just an unusual game where weird stuff happened that was entertaining. It was back when Josh Allen was even more reckless and there was like at least 5 turnovers and even more fumbles. There was a whole big scene because a Texan caught a kickoff in the endzone and just casually tossed it at the ref without kneeling. Called it a TD on the field but the refs reversed it. Allen had a two minute drive and was doing stupid laterals. It was awesome.

My vote was Dallas. Biggest venue and the team/fans won’t need it by then

Screw Dallas.  Minnesota will also be free... and its more in the middle between them.  They can go there.   Detroit works too.   Don't give Dallas the revenue.

I was thinking they’d use Detroit. But then again the bills played two games there so maybe they didn’t want a site the bills were already familiar with or the lions didn’t want to allow it like Indy turned it down. Would’ve been cooler if it wasn’t a domed stadium considering both teams play outdoors and elements would likely be factor in kc or Buffalo.

That said might not even matter cause i think the bengals are playing the best football in the afc right now. 

My opinion is that they should do Green Bay, Chicago or the most chaotic choice of all woud be Philly.  This game should not be indoor on turf and it's not like Atlanta is some travel hotspot.

Lambeau would’ve been a cool choice tbh. Just due to the history in that venue. 

i thought Tom benson field in canton would’ve been a cool stadium to use as well but it doesn’t hold enough seats to justify it.

They could have played the game in Toronto ..... if they wanted 15,000 fans to show up

Amirite, @TorontoEagle ?

You know he's going to lead them out of the tunnel at some point whether in civies, jersey or full uniform.  Still not much on what caused this to happen.  

 

They're gonna unleash the full Hurts package in the divisional round and let the chips fall.

A non-NFL city with a stadium would have been the "smart choice" imo.   More exposure for the NFL, etc.

I'm cynical by nature, and I'm sure Hurts is playing through injury ... but I wonder if there isn't a bit of cloak and dagger here.  Maybe hoping an opposing DC says "he can't throw downfield; let's crowd the LOS and shut off his run lanes"

Can always hope that's what's going on.

Agreed. I am a quez fan but this is the wrong system/offense for him. He could do well in a more vertical play action offense as a low volume deep threat. 

He is a low volume deep threat in this offense. He is just that he is the third option on that with Brown and Smith, who aren’t slow and have better hands. The screens I don’t get. Those should go to Pascal. Not fast, not as good of hands as Quez but much more success physically.  I would also like to see some screens to Gainwell and Scott.  Love the Goedert screens.

If that happens then they likely destroy Dolphins more than we already expected lol

Guys, I'll be heading to Cancun Saturday morning and well be back in Pittsburgh next Saturday evening around 6ish. Any chance I miss our playoff game?

No.  DVRs are wonderful in that you don’t have to miss anything (except commercials).
