Divisional Round Weekend

Sounds like the Pats actually did a bit of sniffing around this past offseason.
My memory (which could be faulty) is that he hasn’t been beastly in any of those games tho. He def. wasn’t amazing in the 2022 game where Mac got hurt.
Baltimore scored 37 in the Mac season. 37 in the 2019 win. And 17 in the 2020 loss.
Uh, Lamar has 7 pass TDs, 3 rushing TDs, 900 yards and only 2 turnovers with a 107 passer rating against the Pats.
Don't have to tell me, I spent the entire off-season arguing for them driving the Brinks truck his way.
That's slightly higher than what he's averaged since becoming a starter (about 65 yards per game).
Man, this game could have been fun but it really appears over. Houston has sustained no offensive drives.
Good lesson what a small sample size the playoffs is. You get there enough and good things happen. Lamar was 1-3 and now, barring a turnover or Tucker miss, they look to be about to be favored in a home AFCCG.
That’s as good a playoff drive as you will see. 93 yards and took more than 7 minutes off the clock.
Lamar's running has been the difference in this game. He's got 82 yards on 9 carries and some huge conversions.
So my memory is indeed wrong. Perhaps you guys can start a thread on it.
Would love to know what the conversations were during the 2018 draft. We had a chance at him (and traded back? again, I can’t remember). And instead of drafting Brady’s successor 1 season after the Jimmy G/Alex Guerrero shitshow when it doesn’t look like we were planning on extending him long term, we drafted two complementary offensive players in Wynn and Michel – the latter of whom played a huge role in that year’s playoff run but was traded before his contract was up.
I wanted Lamar in 2018. Bill was already set on not extending Brady at that point, so I don't see how much more friction it could have caused, at least that way they'd have a successor in place. And meh, there are 50 guys in the league who could have done what Michel did in that playoff run, they win those games with anyone running the ball.
9ers still favored to win the championship. I would have thought with Baltimore having a game in hand they would be ahead until the 9ers game. I guess that’s a reflection of the fact that Baltimore will have a really good opponent next week.
well manning got bailed out both times by all world def 2006 colts playoffs only also got a huge break when dallas and no lost and a all time def in 2015 when the real sb 50 was ne @ den
Bill Simmon’s dad was very mad alarms didn’t take him. Mike Lombardi loved Lamar coming out (I think he knows Petrino).
Fundamentally, the Texans’ offense hasn’t been good enough. Their TD was on special teams, and 1/2 for FGs in the 47-50 yard range is par for the course in these conditions. Just not enough scoring chances on O.
Why do you hate these great men?
We need the SoSH Bowl so bad. Hardo vs Harbaugh
Their O-line really got exposed today. Stroud hasn't had time. They could get fired up and do it at home against a Cleveland defense that wasn't as good as the numbers indicated, but this was always going to be a sterner test
Oh hey another guy tucked his arms in, lead with his helmet and someone got injured on the play.... I'm shocked!
Texans just not ready for prime time yet, but the seven-game improvement and development of Stroud and Anderson leave a lot of room for optimism. OC needs his head examined for this dumpster fire of a game plan as well. Would not be sad to see him hired away.
Texans hung in there with some good and lucky third down defense, but the score is actually a little flattering to Houston. Just complete domination on the ground. 161-38.
