I kind of agree but that doesn't stop me from wondering how Barkley and Daniels on the Giants this year would have been.
OT: NFL 2025 Playoff Games Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
That’s a whole different story. Not sure how it would’ve been, but they would’ve needed to get a big play WR (no Nabers under that scenario). Washington already had McLaurin.
I think Lamar is Steve Young 2.0. HOF player that keeps coming up short in the playoffs due to bad luck or bad decisions at the wrong time. But just like Young, he is so good and will likely get over that hump one season.
Thanks for the reminder...😣 And Jackie Smith's was actually an easier catch!
All kidding aside, I think any match up that comes out of these four would be a good one.
I think tall TEs are great for jump balls but they can struggle with lower balls while TE is in motion. Squatting, falling, reaching low - these can be problems. Smith was in an awkward spot for a low ball and Andrews was falling backwards so when ball hits him his body is moving back and away
I also think (looking at play in slo-mo) that Andrews (6' 5") couldn't feel the ball. The ball skips off his gloves and into the hard chest plate (kick returners are usually flat chested since pecs can make a ball bounce). Then he's looking around and grasping blindly. I don't think he really felt the ball on his hands or in his chest. Its known that some gloves ran reduce sensitivity even while increasing tack.
Andrews had dropped another pass earlier and he had ball punched out for a forced fumble. Buds hands weren't in the game
I wonder if FanDuel has an over/under on the number of Buffalo TDs called back for phantom penalties.
Could be, not all NFL TEs are as coordinated as the NFL WRs, perhaps being bulkier limits their flexibility some. A guy like Kelce who is more lanky than bulked-up seems to catch almost everything.I think tall TEs are great for jump balls but they can struggle with lower balls while TE is in motion.

There is no excuse for Jackie Smith on the TD drop though. He didn't need to slide for that pass. If he just slowed-up and stayed up he could have caught it at waist level with his HANDS. Instead he drops down to catch it in his chest--ooof. This replay below is a great angle of how bad it was. Brutal choke.

I know I'm a biased Commanders fan, but has there ever been a turnaround story like them in the history of the NFL?
I'm honestly good with whatever happens on Sunday. However, I also realize that when you get a rare opportunity you have to make a grab at the ring. This is going to be a tough watch for me.

Sure, there are a bunch of examples. A recent one is the 2019 49ers, which went from 4-12 to 11-3 and a Super Bowl loss.
Or if you want to go back a couple of decades, there's the 1999 St. Louis Rams, who went from 4-12 to 11-3 and won the Super Bowl.

LOL!
Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue recently told confidants that Snyder is "the worst owner in the history of the National Football League."
Sources: Snyder 'hates' Commanders success
Sources close to the ex-Commanders owner say he remains in denial over what led to his ouster from the NFL.
Talks to bring back redskins name but they will not be allowed to use old logo.
A decade of media/academic polls/studies showed that aboriginal Americans greatly LIKED the Redskins name/logo
Snyder knew that and the Boomerkazes and wine moms/daughters descended on him anyway.
Snyder was a butt but NFL HQ was worse imo
