2017 NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round

Rams are young, they should be back strong next year. They are still on the rise. The Falcons are the only team in the NFC playoffs from last year to make it again this year and have more experience. And with 8 White starters today I'll gladly root for them to beat Philly next week.
 
Collinsworth might be the most pathetic man in America. Not saying anything that could be construed as "racist" is his highest priority before opening his mouth 100% of the time.

I was rooting for the Rams, but not surprised at all by the loss. Teams that make huge leaps forward in the regular season often fall flat in the playoffs. This team has a tremendous future, especially if teams like the Packers and Seahawks continue to decline.

The Falcons bear a bit of a resemblance to the 2007 Giants, a wildcard team that got hot at the end of the season and rode their momentum all the way to a historic upset of the undefeated Patriots at the SB. They have a franchise QB, lots of experience and a lot of good players on both sides of the ball. And as luck would have it, they will play a Philly team next without Wentz, and anything can happen in the NFCCG, since the conference is pretty wide open.

With the Pats favored on the AFC side, a repeat SB is on the table and if last year is any indication, it would be another good one. But I think all of us here are rooting for a MIN-NE game.
 
Hard to root against Matt Ryan. I can remember him being interviewed as a rookie and coming across like a 10 year veteran already. Good head on his shoulders.

Titans winning no doubt takes some of the sting out of that drop for Decker. Here's to a big game for him next week.

And we get to watch CM tomorrow.
 
Kupp had a very good rookie season. He only started 6 games and had close to 900 yards. Not bad for a guy who only started 6 games. No matter how hard they try to stop talented white players a few always break through.

With how good Atlanta looked yesterday and how bad Philly has been lately, I would bet on the Falcons to win that game.

Carolina is the CF favorite against the Saints, but whoever wins that game is going to give the Vikings all they can handle next week.

The NFC playoff is looking very competitive. The Vikings, Falcons and Saints should all be favored over the Eagles.

Amazing one CRAPPY return guy ruins your season.
 
Has the media already started blaming KC’s choke job on Alex Smith yet? This is all on fat bastard. It sounded like he took over playcalling this game. So the offense was hot last few weeks with his OC calling plays and now his ego gets in the way. I would really like to see Smith move on to any team but the Browns. KC will rot with Mahomes.
 
Late game first. I hate the Falcons ( I don't care about the OL) and I hate the Saints and I get a wicked sense of which way the wind is blowing here. And believe me I don't think the Eagles , who I don't much care for either, has little chance to beat the Falcons without Wentz. Negativity has engulfed me once again so I suspect neither Carolina or the Vikings will reach the Super Bowl. The Rams looked stale last night and the punt returner pretty much assured they would lose. The only positive I could find was the Goff to Kupp connection should be a mainstay for years to come. Connor Barwin has been a plus player his entire career but he is not in his prime anymore.

The first game was sickening. And kudos to the posters above who mentioned the "HIT" on Kelce. Think back to the Monday Night game in October against the Redskins. Kelce was on his way to an epic game with a stat line of 7-111-1 with plenty of time to spare then BOOM a black DB skulled him on purpose and knocked him out of the game and I believe Kelce missed some games after that with a concussion.
On his way to another epic game with a very early stat line of 4-66-1 a black DB lowered the boom once again with one of the most vicious head shots I have seen this season. Kelce was KNOCKED OUT. Yet and maybe someone can clear up the rule here but I do know refs check replays after brawls so why was there NO FLAG thrown on this hit which I believe was an intentional skull shot? And consider even if the Chiefs pulled the game out it looked unlikely Kelce would be able to return anytime soon.

For a league that has been paying a lot of lip service in trying to cut down on these skull shots and I know the NFL rules don't include ejections like in college ( which they SHOULD ADOPT) how is it that that bastard wasn't penalized for 15 yards? In fact if you watch the DB Jon Cyprien after the play he was strutting back to the huddle. Give that guy the game ball because that CHANGED the entire game. Granted the black DL of KC sucks and got ran over but the BEST PLAYER on the field was Travis Kelce. Eliminating him from the equation opened the door for a Titans win.. With some added assistance from the refs.

There was a call where the Chiefs recovered a fumble that the refs CLEARLY botched. The late fumble recovery they probably got right. On yet another play when Sorensen was sacking Mariota causing a fumble late in the game they said he was down and wiped away the fumble recovery by the Chiefs. I suspect if Mariota had escaped Sorensen's grasp they would not have ruled down. They would have let the "hero" make a splash play. So the refs clearly botched two or three KEY calls.

A bitter pill only relieved somewhat by Decker catching the winning TD after being quiet the whole day--actually he was only targeted three times. But another nail in the growing coffin of Andy Reid and they can't get there star QB out of town quick enough. With probably three to five good years left in Alex Smith ( he is remarkably athletic for someone who has played 13 plus years in the NFL), there are several teams who could use him. Off the top of my head Arizona, Buffalo, Cleveland, Denver ( same division though),Jets and the Redskins if they part way with Cousins. If I were any of those teams I would grab him in a heart beat. He is a winner despite the media's ongoing hatred of him which has eased just a touch this past season Without him look for KC to fall into the middle of the pack.
 
I would guess that the media gimps and caste clowns we hate know of this site and that Collinsworth and Rabbi Al purposely troll us with their act. Of course the high and mighty will deny that, and swear on a stack of TV Guides and Talmuds (same thing) but I don't for a minute think they lay it on thick out of blind instinct.

And last year Jordy Nelson took a crown of the helmet shot to the ribs, so there you go take out the best players on the team with cheap shots by expendable replaceable players that know one will remember in a couple of years, turn the next set of playoff games as starters versus third string and wonder why ratings are sliding.
 
INT for Tyrod.
 
Bortles is way off the mark today.
 
From BSPN themselves actually criticizing Tynog in a way over the goal line Offense at the end of the half.
The Bills missed an opportunity late in the second quarter of Sunday's game at Jacksonville when a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line turned into a fourth-and-goal from the 13-yard line. The series of plays was another indictment against Bills OC Rick Dennison and QB Tyrod Taylor. The Bills also should expect more from Taylor and TE Nick O'Leary, who have played together since 2015, than to have Taylor throw where he thought O'Leary was running on third down.

Yeah, but they had to include O'Leary as part of that criticism to justify their criticism of Taylor. They aren't going to just criticize Taylor on his own now, as that may be considered "racist".
