Poll:   Choice A (and it's not even close)

 

Reasons: 

 

Enjoy the competitive nature of the NFL.  The parody allows teams to move quickly from the basement to the penthouse and vice-versa.  The games are closer and the skill level, speed, and athletic ability displayed are over-whelming.

 

I do not understand or appreciate the ego-driven coaching and maniacal fandom of D1.  The transfer portal is an abomination, and NIL money is a travesty.  However, attending the occasional Duke (or choose your own team) game is always entertaining!        

[CasualLie]

Choice A

Not even close.  

 

College football "pure" form???  Pure comedy perhaps.

 

 

[CasualLie]

Chargers D really let that end of first half get away from them.  

 

Now they have to find a way to play differently than their usual 2nd half malaise.

Chargering. I thought that Harbaugh had eliminated that. The upside? Houstoning is a distinct possibility.

... So many numbers get thrown around for the playoffs. My favorite is some number about wins or losses in the playoffs for any given team when everyone playing wasn't even in the league yet. I also think there are a handful of QB's that can play in any game at any time against any team and win. Mahomes, Allen and Herbert are on that list for me. The Chargers may not win and giving -3 points can be huge in a really close game but if they do lose, it won't be because of Herbert. But if they win, it will be because of Herbert. Obviously a lot depends on what kind of protection he gets, but I would never et against him.

... In a playoff game I absolutely love a WR like McConkey. I see so many really good WR's just get lazy and round off routes or just run a sloppy route because of the coverage but McConkey is very precise and that is one of the reasons he always seems to be open. That kind of WR is a QB's best friend and Herbert will be leaning on him Saturday. 

This did not age well.

... Not sure I can blame that all on Herbert. No time to throw, constant pressure, dropped passes and a porous defense. That said, Herbert certainly didn't rise to the occasion like Super Stars are supposed to do. 

[touch]

Why wouldn't the Steelers use a Tush Push when they faced 4th and inches in their last drive?

Russ could handle that no? Was that just a no balls move by Tomlin?

That was a "let's not lose the game on one play blowing up in our face with 12 minutes to go in the half... Let's wait a few more minutes then call it a game"

For sure Houston showed up ready to bring it on D.  I blame the OC for not being able to adjust in game.  And then blame Herbert for some pretty badly telegraphed passes.

 

What a switch flip for CJ, one scramble late in Q2 hitting a big pass and he was suddenly set free in his own head.

[tatertot]

This is a different Ravens team then the past playoff failures ... rarely can a RB have this big of impact, but Derrick Henry is the real deal, even at 31 years old. If Harbaugh keeps his head and doesn't panic, Henry should get 20+ carries a game, and Lamar shouldn't be throwing over 25 times a game.

[touch]

98 yard drive the ends in a TD for Pittsburgh to open the second half. Are we going to end up having a competitive game in Baltimore after all? 

[tatertot]

Tomlin is probably my favorite NFL coach ... but I don't think he has the horses.

Didn't realize tonight's game was streaming only.

 

NFL is really pu$hing it, ain't they ?

Good to hear from you @nsxguy.

Glad you are here for the Playoffs. 

Go ahead and make your Picks for this weekend and I will add them to the charts. 

You have all the time your need up until kickoff. 

You were here last Playoffs so you know the drill.

Any questions just ask. 

You finished real high in the standings your rookie year last year.

Let's see two in a row.   ⭐

 

I've been extra busy this week.

 

Forgot all about it so I'm out.
