Wild Card Sunday Games Thread

Gun to my head I’m still picking the Chiefs to win the SB as of right now. But I’m just making the point that their road to the SB is not as guaranteed as we see some people assume.

I like the Chiefs as a team. Their fans are insufferable at this point though

Wins for Mayfield, Allen and LJax.

Browns went 0-16 in 2017. Quite a turnaround in 3 years...and this year with a rookie head coach in THE COVID season.

Is like ... imagine if our last playoff win was when we beat the Vikings in ‘93 and our last time in the playoffs was when we lost to the 9ers in ‘02. And then imagine we just now beat the Cowboys in Dallas in a year many were crowning them SB champs just a month ago.

Yep good job by the QBs and their teams. Bills have been steadily building to this season. The Browns have been all over the place. They had the talent, but the wrong coaches and FO. Baltimore has been good for a very long time.
I expect all three to play well next week but not sure if Cleveland hasn't lost too many starters on the oline and in the DBs.

I wonder if Pittsburgh will now crash and burn. 11-0 to 1-5 in last six games.

Cleveland at KC
Balt at Buff

Good games.

Jackson was garbage as usual, the other two looked great. Allen is going to embarrass Lamar next week. He can actually throw the ball.

versus the Old Men under center in NFC

watching this weekend... is we have seen so many teams over the past few years build their team up to something meaningful or, at worst, at least have a run at the playoffs - all while the Giants have remained consistently irrelevant.

Just off the top of head, all of our NFCE teams have experienced the PO's in the past few years... we have seen teams like the Bills, Colts, Chargers, Browns, Bucs, Bears, etc... all rebuild or again, at least have a relevant season during that stretch while we struggle to win 6 games.

we can talk about this move or that situation to explain things away but we are a bottom dweller (along with our stadium mates) and things need to change quickly.
