NFL Divisional Round weekend thread

The Twitter guy Super70sSports posted that Greenlaw was running like a man who'd laid the points.

 

I’m a child of the 80s. When I was growing up, the idea of the Packers in the playoffs was as dusty as sock hops and the Kennedy-Nixon debate. It was taken as an article of faith they would never be relevant again until moving to Milwaukee for good.

So if this feels like wandering the desert to the new generation of cheeseheads, they should count themselves very fortunate indeed.

 

I loudly shouted “get down you dumb MF’er!”

I was quickly admonished by Mrs. Highlander-Spartan for shouting obscenities as the baby was trying to sleep.

 

Same.

 

Congrats to Jackson, who has played in fewer championship games than Kerry Collins.

 

Just saw a stat of which I was not aware, but thinking back I see it. Texans did not run a play inside the Ravens' 25-yard line in the entire game. That'll win most games all by itself.

 

For all the hype "the year of the quarterback" received in 1983 with Elway, Marino and Kelly - the 2020 class might be even more remarkable. The top five drafted QBs have all started playoff games - Burrow, Tagovailoa, Love, Herbert and Hurts. Three of them have won playoff games. Sure, they expanded the playoffs - but its still impressive. The other thing I noticed going back through the drafts to find anything close - there really hasn't been - is that while QBs have always been drafted above their draft grade, based on the scarcity of the position - was how few first round QBs there were before the rookie scale was put in. I don't think people playing the position have just improved that much, just that a lot of second and third rounders have been elevated well past their true draft grade.

 

don’t forget Threatening to retire after four or five straight seasons, giving teary cryptic postgame speeches only to come back the next year anyway.

 

He is an absolute must follow.

 

Two of those have started Super Bowls already, as well.

 

I had Packers +9.5. I was among the people yelling for him to get down.
I was also yelling for the dumb MF who managed to stand up in front of the sideline camera to get down.
