Super Wildcard Weekend Gamethread

[rodderick]

What are the good young QBs in the NFC? The AFC is adding Lawrence and already has Mahomes, Watson, Jackson, Allen, Herbert and Burrow while the NFC has what? Murray? Hope some good QBs are drafted there soon because Brees/Brady/Rodgers are retiring in a couple of years and that conference could get pretty ugly.

I had Saints -10.5, and was about to kick my TV in if the Bears went for 2.

[BaseballJones]

This is true garbage time.

Yep. And I have Jimmy Graham in my playoff lineup today! hahaha

 

[Cellar-Door]

Trubisky's agent gonna put the NVP on his resume for teams this off-season

 

[Harry Hooper]

Who was it (Mantle?) in that old baseball clip who caught a deep drive for the final out and immediately headed behind the outfield fence to the clubhouse?

 

[BaseballJones]

Normally I'd want guys to shake hands after the game, but that was one hell of a catch by Graham, and it may be the last play of his career, so it would be a pretty cool way for him to leave the game.

This just in: Trump is going to ward the Medal of Freedom to Bill Belichick.

edit: so the season is not a total wash lol.

For real? Is that a joke?

 

[rodderick]

Not a joke. Feel like it's a pretty awkward position too, how do you even reject that?

 

[johnmd20]

It is being discussed in V&N. Long thread already.

 

[Jungleland]

It is so, so stupid that the rules weren't adjusted tonight (or this season as a whole) to allow a quarantined coach to coach remotely.

 

[BaseballJones]

Not a joke. Feel like it's a pretty awkward position too, how do you even reject that?

You don't reject it. IMO, just like you don't reject an invitation to the White House, no matter who is President. But that's just me. YMMV, of course.

 

[54thMA]

LOL!!

 

[Jungleland]

Beautiful start!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

oh. the Super Bowl 48 special.

 

[Van Everyman]

Wow!

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

That is glorious!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

poor job by Big Ben and #30. you have to recover that even if it's a safety (and it was on the 2 yard line).

 

[nayrbrey]

Gotta kick it out of the end zone there

 

[54thMA]

oh. the Super Bowl 48 special.

Nice reference, first thing I thought of.

 

[Van Everyman]

Now don’t go all Broncos vs. the WFT on us, Browns

 

[cshea]

Way to do nothing there Ben

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That was exhilarating to see.

 

[johnmd20]

Now don’t go all Broncos vs. the WFT on us, Browns

Can you explain this? I don't get the reference. The Broncos played Seattle.

 

[terrynever]

Imagine if your center got the yips all game.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

That was Cam Newton against Denver in the Super Bowl (in terms of a QB that wanted no part of a fumble recovery).

 

[johnmd20]

You have to get those 3rd down tackles.

The Titans didn't get them and they ended up dead.

 

[54thMA]

Can you explain this? I don't get the reference. The Broncos played Seattle.

Maybe he's referencing the Broncos/WFT super bowl where the Broncos actually got out to a lead before getting steamrolled?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Go back much further in time

"I'm sorry, but I can't believe the snap, Al."

Like in the 80s? Deep cut.

 

[BaseballJones]

When was the last time the Bills and Browns were both in the divisional round of the playoffs?

EDIT: 1980 season is the answer.

 

[54thMA]

When was the last time the Bills and Browns were both in the divisional round of the playoffs?

During WWI?

 

[johnmd20]

Turnover Number TWO!!!

 

[54thMA]

LOL!!

What a horrible pass

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Wow

 

[rodderick]

Oh my god hahahaha

 

[luckiestman]

Oh hell yes!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

1990 they played in the divisional round.

 

[54thMA]

Good thing the Steelers rested their starters last week, really paying off so far.

31 years ago. Played each other.

The first Broncos SB Elway had an amazing touchdown on the first play from scrimmage ... and then proceeded to lose worse than the Pats had against the Bears.

 

[cshea]

Ben’s last game?

 

[BaseballJones]

Yep good correction.

 

[BaseballJones]

Yeah I thought that was SO dumb on their part. That was one team that needed a lot more reps to get their offense back in gear. They had been playing so poorly for so long. I guess the comeback against Indy gave them the illusion that they had fixed everything.

Broncos were up 14-0, I think, before getting flattened into oblivion.

 

[staz]

This would not break my heart.

10-0, but then that whole second quarter thing happened.
