Wild Card Weekend

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I need a Bills fourth and long like oxygen now

 

[Vinho Tinto]

ALIVE!

 

[Fred in Lynn]

It could really hurt. Forget about bad punts - got to be worried about turnovers from someone not used to punting, especially in these conditions. I think you have to have a QB do it (the second or third string guy) because they'd be most likely to handle the long snap cleanly.

I understand what you mean, and it’s a fair point, but one of us has a lot more faith in the Pittsburgh offense than the other.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Ok, third quarter is at least watchable.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The “what really happened” replay was funny one time.

In olden times, that little girl would not be talking family business to outsiders.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Romo approves of having MLK day

 

[ilol@u]

Josh Allen is good for 1-2 dumb turnovers in a game script like this, if Pittsburgh is able to take advantage.

 

[joe dokes]

It will take less than 1:39 for Pittsburghs bubble to burst.

 

[DJnVa]

My streaming just went to someone's local news...WTF?

 

[loshjott]

More stellar play calling.

 

[Groovenstein]

In olden times she would have been some creep’s wife.

 

[Kliq]

Romo talking about MLK was unintentionally hilarious.

 

[Catcher Block]

Going up by 21 and then losing several key guys to injuries would be classic Buffalo Bills.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Think he just got wind knocked out

 

[DJnVa]

SoSH slow for anyone else?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Was that the old fakeroo?

 

[Buck Showalter]

Why wouldn't Pitt use their TO's there?!!!

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Make them punt!!

 

[Buck Showalter]

Tomlin is brain dead

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Did Tomlin fucking fall asleep? They don’t have a punter!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What is Tomlin thinking here? What a dope!

 

[Ed Hillel]

They’re down 14…how can they not take a timeout?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Romo agrees with not calling a timeout and calling a timeout

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That was….bizarre

 

[Buck Showalter]

Romo - time and again, proving how much better Aikman is an analyst.

Boy is he terrible.

 

[Dogman]

What is Tomlin doing?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good timeout bud!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They’re down 14…how can they not take a timeout?

This. They need to take chances, Romo is talking like this is a close game and PIT gets the second half kickoff.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

That’s classic Mike Tomlin clock management.

 

[Dotrat]

Moments like these are why BB is the GOAT.

 

[boca]

Timeout called with 2 seconds left. Clock management at its finest.

 

[Groovenstein]

Romo agrees with not calling a timeout and calling a timeout

At least he’s clear where he stands about MLK having a day.

 

[joe dokes]

Romo approves of having MLK day

I hope I didnt hear him say that having a day named after you is an accomplishment. Because I thought I did.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That’s a Septegenarian Belichick move.

 

[shawnrbu]

Nantz: Why did the Steelers call timeout with 2 seconds left?

Romo: Someone had to go to the bathroom?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Tomlin pretty clearly had no faith his defense wasn't giving up 17 yards on 2nd and 3rd..... which is fair, but if that's the case you're screwed anyway

 

[Groovenstein]

Nantz: Why did the Steelers call timeout with 2 seconds left?

Romo: Someone had to go to the bathroom?

To be fair, that’s about as good a reason as can be imagined.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Tomlin called the 2 second time out when Buffalo looked like it was peparing to run a pass play instead of just kneeling out the half. Tomlin was fine ending the half but wasn’t ready for the Bills trying a hook and lateral or something.

I read that as "17 points" and it still made sense

Boooo. Tomoon and Tomlinson was better. Bad edit

 

[DanoooME]

James Brown: Bills are cooking with hot grease. Never heard that one before.

 

[joe dokes]

Cowher just said "josh allen is a 2 dimensional threat." He is tall and wide, I suppose.

 

[shawnrbu]

How many of JB, Simms, Cowher and Boomer does CBS extend?

 

[mauf]

The fact that Super Bowl needs secondary meaning to be protectable is why you need to be careful when using super for other football. I mean, Super Bowl is one of the most famous marks in the world and is not going to lose secondary meaning in our lifetimes.

But using “super” in another NFL playoff round could definitely impact the NFL’s ability to protect Super Bowl. For example if the XFL maybe wanted to call its championship the Super Cup. The NFL likely would claim likelihood of confusion, which is undermined by them using super in the wild card context.

Interesting. I wouldn’t think the NFL would have much chance of stopping a “Super Cup,” absent other factors that might lead to confusion with the Super Bowl.

(Sorry for gravedigging the post; I find this fascinating.)

Pretty sure JB, Simms and Cowher are goners.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Depends if they could get Reid, Tomoon, Tomlinson or Belichick

A common reference is "who would you like the have a beer with."

These guys would always be the disheveled, kinda smelly ones, at the end of the bar. Fire them all. Just show "NFL Follies" for 20 minutes.

But those are the guys with the best stories.

JB and Cowher are useless IMO.

Boomer is solid and Simms still has something left.
