Goff is really exposing the LBs and DBs of the Bucs.
Really impressed with Goff, he is showing his class and also proving their is a place for the pocket qb, do not have to be running around all the time to have success in the league however much they say you do.

Happy for Baker Mayfield. I hope the Browns fans are all realizing they have to now root for D’Shonte Watson.

Great game for the Lions. Both QBs played great games and didn’t deserve all the vitriol over the years.

And so -- the two consensus teams to begin the season as the best to root for from CF's perspective are meeting in the NFC Championship Game. Not too shabby!

The other favorite team, the Bengals, saw their season effectively end when Joe Burrow's did. Go Bills, make it a fun Super Bowl!

Yeah 49ers Bills final would be great but lions Bills I'd take. To be fair at least the lions or 49ers getting to the superbowl could offer the contrast in white players against say the Ravens especially if they win may open some eyes one can hope.

What’s not so great is that Jim Harbaugh has been fairly white friendly, but John has been not so much. The Ravens coaches are top notch at least. Monken developed McConkey and Bowers at Georgia and McDonald developed Hutch and I believe helped recruit Graham at Michigan.

Baltimore has no business being as dark as it is, but as you said, that has been John Harbaugh’s Modus operandi.

A shame really.

Lions making it to the NFCCG is huge as their defense has several whites in prominent roles for the masses to watch.

Here’s hoping Josh Allen puts his foot on the pedal and doesn’t look back against the Chiefs.

Sometimes a team that is favored (the 49ers were 10 point favorites) will play so the underdog has a good chance for an upset. The 49er-Packer game was an example but the 49ers led by Purdy and CMAC came back to win.

Diggs with a fumble and a dropped pass. Please don't force feed him all game.

Biggest game of the year for us here on CF.
Let’s go Josh (maybe an Isabella bone later on).

Allen looks pretty amped up. Hope he is able to play within himself and not force anything.

Kincaid proving to be worthy of a first round pick.
I was just gonna post that he may well develop into an even better NFL tight end than LaPorta. He's such a smooth runner to go with his speed and receiving skills.

Please refute this, but Allen’s weapons are not elite. He doesn’t have a Gibbs or St Brown, although Kincaid is solid like LaPorta.

Diggs is now on the back nine of his career, aging quickly. The other receivers have skill but are quite erratic. Cook isn't nearly as good as his brother Dalvin was for a number of years with the Vikings and doesn't measure up to the Lions' combo at the position. So yeah, noticeably inferior weapons to the Lions other than at TE where the presence of Knox in addition to Kincaid gives the Bills an edge.
