2019 NFL Thread v. Chiefs are Champs, Missouri rules the sports world

[KevShmev]

I didn't hear the details, but they should have twisted the knife by making him come back to Cleveland. 

[KevShmev]

SF up 10-0.  If they win, I predict the schedule for next week will be:

Buffalo at Houston (late Saturday afternoon)
Seattle at Philly (Sat night)
Tennessee at New England (early Sunday afternoon)
Minnesota at New Orleans (late Sunday afternoon)

[King Postwhore]

Is their any surprise here?  This is on the GM. You bring all these troubled, strong personalities and put that in the hands of a rookie Head couch?

It spelled disaster from the start.

Shows you how much the media is so f'ing dumb.

WTF, Mr. TV Exectutive? 

The Pats will get the prime time game Saturday night.

[jammindude]

I've been saying for several weeks that Seattle has not dominated a single game all season.  In fact, I saw one fan post a stat that if all the single score games had gone the other way, Seattle would be 3-13....as if that was a good thing.  They were trying to say how important it was to win the close games.   But I honestly took it as Seattle just playing very weak all season, and winning on luck half the time. 

I honestly believed that maybe bringing Lynch back would put some heart back into the team, and Seattle would play "over their heads" a bit tonight and at least make it interesting.    But they just don't have the O-Line or the Defense this year.   

We have a shot at beating Philly....maybe.   But we will make a quick exit from the playoffs. 

[King Postwhore]

Who cares really. It's wild card weekend.  That's disappointing enough.  When you hand it over on home field who gives a shit if it's afternoon or evening on the wild card weekend Tim?

[KevShmev]

Seems like Houston always gets the late Saturday afternoon game on wild card weekend, so that is why I figure their game against Buffalo (a low draw team) will be there, and I doubt they'll have both AFC games on Saturday.

I don't mean to sound like a New England dick, but there's no way the Pats don't get the Prime Time game. I can see the Philly game being early on Saturday.




And fucking LOLing at the Raiders and Cowboys.

Remember the divisional round last year?  The Patriots got the early Sunday game, not the Saturday prime time game. 

[King Postwhore]

Why is this even an issue? Who cares?

How the fuck would I remember that? 

The Pats are still the biggest draw on Wild Card weekend.

[KevShmev]

Ask Tim. I made a prediction just for the fun of it, and he turned it into the silliness we are now seeing.

[King Postwhore]

It means nothing to me. Win or GTFO no matter what the start time.

Oh it's MY fault?

[King Postwhore]

Yes is it.

Go carriages!

[El Barto]

Helluva game. That was as close to a TD as you can get without scoring. Damn shame about the non-called mugging on the play before.

[jammindude]

That ended a lot closer than I thought it would.  Congrats to the Niners. 

[pg1067]

Watching the Suckhawks crap that one away with one of the stupidest delay of game penalties ever brings such a smile to my face.

That said, that was a great finish with an epic tackle on that last defensive play.

[lonestar]

I didn't see anything 




Good lord my heart....just brutal...

[Cool Chris]

So Lynch ran it in for a TD from the 1 yard line. Who woulda thought that play call would be successful? 

Just saw bits and pieces and the last 5 minutes or so. Definitely closer than I expected. Carroll likes to play to win in the 4th and that just doesn't work against good teams.

[lonestar]

So if Seattle and the Saints win, the Niners next game will be against Seattle. I really, really can't go through another one of these.

As much as I don't want to see that, I also think it's by far the most likely scenario.

I do as well.

[bosk1]

Funny how quickly people have forgotten about that incredibly bad "unnecessary roughness" call that gave Seattle a chance they shouldn't have had in the first place.  Personally, I'd love a rematch and love to see Seattle get completely destroyed next time.

[KevShmev]

Seattle is running on fumes, and I predict they will lose at Philly next week.  Russell Wilson almost pulled that game out of his magic hat last night, but came up a yard short.  It looked to me like the Seattle receiver initiated the contact on that 2nd to last play of the game, so I was okay with there being no PI or defensive holding call there, but it probably should have at least been reviewed, but we know the NFL doesn't care about getting it right, so there ya go.

[hefdaddy42]

The Panthers dumpster fire of a season (especially in the last 8 games) was mitigated a little by Christian McCaffrey becoming only the 3rd player in NFL history to joing the 1,000/1,000 club.

Hopefully rebuilding the team around him won't take too long and we can have a relevant team relatively soon.

I don't wanna hear any BS about "the refs helping Seattle". That PI no call in the end zone cost us a freakin game winnin TD.

I hear ya.

Crazy call. But we still gave a good game regardless. Now we have to get in gear.

But the other way around would be much better!

Missed it by that much.


(and then a whole lot more)



Saturday, January 4

AFC:   4:35 PM (ET) Buffalo at Houston (ESPN, with simulcast on ABC)

AFC:   8:15 PM (ET) Tennessee at New England (CBS)

Sunday, January 5

NFC:   1:05 PM (ET) Minnesota at New Orleans (FOX)

NFC:   4:40 PM (ET) Seattle at Philadelphia (NBC)

[KevShmev]

Haha, figures.  I don't think they've ever done that before, having both AFC games on one day and then both NFC games the other, or maybe I am just old and cannot remember.

[TAC]

I'm sorry, who's playing Saturday night?

[hefdaddy42]

I predict that New Orleans will be the only home team to win this weekend.

[TAC]

Miami fires their OC?


Mc Daniels to Miami as OC/Asst HC and brings Brady to South Beach. Gronk too!

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Haha, figures.  I don't think they've ever done that before, having both AFC games on one day and then both NFC games the other, or maybe I am just old and cannot remember.

They did this after the 2015 season. Houston hosted K.C. in the Saturday afternoon game, and the Saturday night game was that Cincinnati/Pittsburgh fiasco.
