NFL Wild-Card Weekend thread

Did it? Packers look like a very tough out.

 

You guys do this with every blowout.

Were there any score changes all weekend, let alone a comeback?

 

And if anyone can overthink his way out of a clear path to the Super Bowl, it's Kyle Shanahan.

 

Also gotta wonder how sharp the Niners will be against a red-hot Packers team. Most of their starters haven't played in three weeks, after sitting in Week 18 and then the bye. You often see teams like that struggle a little in the divisional round.

 

Nobody did it w/Texans-Browns, because that one was over after the b2b pick sixes, or Chiefs-Dolphins, b/c the Dolphins weren't scoring three TDs going 11-on-0. The Packers' defense can't stop anyone, but it turned out the Cowboys couldn't either. Lions-Rams was a good second half. and the Bucs played with their food for the middle two quarters. The Eagles were one play away from tying it with a guy who was the best QB in the league six weeks ago. Thinking they could stumble their way back into it & maybe find some muscle memory wasn't that far-fetched.

 

Opening lines for the divisional round:
• Ravens -9.5 vs. Texans
• 49ers -10 vs. Packers
• Lions -6 vs. Bucs
• Bills -3 vs. Chiefs

Kinda like the Texans, really like the Packers and Lions, and have no idea what to make of Bills-Chiefs.

 

Quoted for posterity.

 

In this completely batshit season, would anyone be stunned if the three road teams won and the only home team to win became the overwhelming Super Bowl favorite not even two months after it was 6-6 and all but eliminated?

 

Please bitch I predicted the Bucs by a thousand. I was only off by 977!

 

Purdy and Kittle were the only healthy scratches last week. McCaffery probably wouldn’t have played against the Rams anyway given his calf. But Debo played some snaps as did Aiyuk. And the defensive guys had injuries they were resting.

I think rust will be a thing for a bit, but the biggest weapons should be fine.

 

Don’t forget about Aiyuk and Kittle. The Niners are loaded. On both sides of the ball. I’m sure Niners are stronger mentally than the Cowboys. They won at Philly, JAX, and SEA on road. Plus, the obvious, Shanahan >>>> McCarthy.

 

@BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo is better than McCarthy. The real fraud.
