2022 NFL Thread (Chiefs win Super Bowl 57)

[KevShmev]

The entire Bucs team looks terrible today, and that includes Brady.  This is a drubbing.

[TAC]

The Bucs' O-line is awful. Brutal.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Looks like Brady is just going to make a bunch of short passes. I say the niners let him do that. All they need to do at this point is let the clock run out and not give up any big plays.

Or just intercept him again

See, this is why I push back on the "what is BB's record without Tom Brady" silliness.  Good coaching is like good QB play: sometimes, you can just smell it, even if the numbers don't totally tell the tale.  Kyle Shanahan will be 2 games above .500 as an NFL head coach assuming they do not blow this game, yet I think most acknowledge that he is one of the top coaches in football.  Imagine what his record would be over six years if he had consistently above average QB play (any post saying Jimmy G was that is nonsense; W/L record is the only thing in his favor, and that can be skewed).

Oh, I think Jimmy G is average at best.

[King Postwhore]

If Jimmy G could stay healthy they might have a run. That's why they drafted. He can't stay on the field.

Well, you're allowed to have terrible opinions.  The stats, win record, and playoff success speak for themselves.  And along those lines, there's a reason he was top 3 in most, and top 5 in several other, stats this season before going out. 

[KevShmev]

He has been terrible in the playoffs, which the stats show, if we want to talk those.  He has a good W/L record in spite of himself.

But, you do you.

[bosk1]

And...the 49ers bring in their 4th string QB.  Would have been nice if the starters could come out earlier, especially since they play again on Thursday.  But better late than never.

Yep, gotta protect the new GOAT!

Now it's just getting sad for Tampa Bay. Almost feel sorry for them

Hard to celebrate a game in which Deebo goes down.

But holy fucking hell was that an absolute treasure of a game on all sides of the ball. Go Niners.

Figures. I hate seeing injuries in blowouts. Debo should have been out of the game. 

[KevShmev]

Handicapping the NFC is interesting.

The Eagles look like the class of the conference, but this roster has never done it in the playoffs, so it is "I'll believe it when I see it" situation.

The Vikings will be a tough out, but their defense is not very good, so it is hard to see them winning three playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.

The Cowboys are legit, but you just know that in big spots in the playoffs, they will commit a ton of penalties and find a way to beat themselves. 

The Bucs, despite the shellacking today, are obviously the only team from the South that could maybe win a game or two, largely because of their defense and Brady's ability to still channel his younger self in certain spots ala 2015 Peyton Manning.

The 49ers have an awesome defense, great coaching and stars all over the place at the skill positions on offense, but QB is the wild card.  Purdy is great story so far, but teams will get a book on him sooner rather than later, and we'll see how he does then.

It is hard to imagine the Giants, Commandeers or Seahawks making any real noise in the playoffs.  The Giants and Seahawks were great stories early, but both are fading.  Washington's upside seems limited.

Not that I think they are going to win out and make it, but the Lions could be a tough out if they did make it in. Dan Campbell has that team competing big time.

[TAC]

I think it's the Eagles and Cowboys. Vikings a distant third. Everyone else is a pretender.

[jammindude]

Ya. When the Seattle D had a mid-season surge, I thought they had solved their early season issues.  If that D would have come together, we could have been dangerous.  But the defense I saw today killed all hope. No team with a defense that bad deserves to make the playoffs. That was just flat out embarrassing. The 30 points Carolina scored doesn’t do justice to how bad the Seahawks D looked giving it to them.

[Dream Team]

Vikings are frauds, they’ve been outscored on the season and the close game luck will regress to the mean.

[emtee]

Brady looked a few times like he wished he had stayed retired.

[romdrums]

The Cowboys are the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NFL.

[Stadler]

Tom Brady: "I just helped lead a double-digit 4th quarter comeback, LET'S GOOOOO"

Baker Mayfield: "Hold my beer Tom, I'll do it after knowing the playbook for 2 days. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Clearly Mayfield Brock Purdy is the GOAT.

ftfy   

I came in here to write just that.  We can't let Purdy play even a full season, let's just crown him now!   Canton here we come!!!

No need.  It's obvious.  Schedule the induction ceremony for the week between the NFCCG and the Superb Owl.

How about those Panthers?

I'm only half joking.

[bosk1]

You kiddin' me?  I LOVE the Panthers!  They gave us Christian McCaffrey a few weeks ago, and they gave us the NFC West this week (well, we still have to clinch it on Thursday, but you know).  Love that team!

And what's crazy is, they're still VERY alive to win the NFC South.

I think technically everyone is still alive in the NFC South 

[lonestar]

Brady signing the ball Greenlaw picked off him is the most awesome thing ever...

[TAC]

Kraft's people have made a lot of noise behind the scenes this week. Now that the Cards have lost Kyler, the Pats have no excuse.

[King Postwhore]

The media made the noise. I don't believe big boy.

You're a sucker. It didn't just come from Bedard. Peter King had it, as did Phil Perry, or was it Curran.

[King Postwhore]

So this game is the hill to stand on?  Not the whole fucking season?  Lololol.

And is your point that now with Murray out the NE offense will play better?

No, but this was a must win before Kyler went out. Not it's a must must win.

[King Postwhore]

Lots of players going down in this game.

[KevShmev]

Bill Simmons on the Manningcast now.

The brothers are too funny.  In the first Q, they showed a play where Eli had a pass batted back, he caught it and tried to run with it and got stripped, and Peyton quipped, "Eli was so slow that they called that a football move."

[King Postwhore]

I love the Manningcast.
