NFL Wild-Card Weekend thread

I would have never thought Josh Allen's move was a fake slide unless someone said, look, that's a fake slide.

And I still don't.
Not a fake slide. A hesitation, with a little wiggle, that ever so briefly freezes No. 23 -- the only defender who had a shot at him, as 29 and 20 were being blocked -- allowing Allen to get past him and shrug off his attempt at a tackle.

One might term that as a "football move".
 
How long has it has snowed in Buffalo in December and January? And how long has there been outdoor sports in Buffalo?

I will defer to the locals on their expertise in handling snow.
 
Google turned up exactly 289 hits for "Suler Bowl," FWIW.

There were about 12,000 hits for "Suoer Bowl" in which the O key is more adjacent than the L key.

Just for giggles I tried "Suxer Bowl" and got exactly what I expected: One hit, which back in the day was called a Google Whack I believe.

There's that term Whack again.
 
One man's juke is another man's fake slide I guess. I'm on the juke side.

Yeah, it's totally a juke. A juke with a hesitation, too. Because he's suddenly in traffic and trying to figure out which way to juke. Because he's a quarterback, a guy who works on quarterbacking a lot more than he works on developing his set of Barry Sanders jukes.
