OT: NFL 2025 Playoff Games Thread

Mahomes hitting stride with 29/38 - 320 yds - 3 TDs
Pacheco with 6 carries for 18 - averaging 35 yds a game (5) since comeback
Only 1 TD this year (Sept)
 
So the same Giants HC and GM who picked Daniel Jones to start over Lock and then picked Cutlets to start over Lock are the 2 misfits we're gonna trust to pick our next franchise QB?
 
A commitment to excellence. 😎
Commitment to nepotism. I thought having an aging legend running the team was bad, but it turned out that having his idiot son in charge was much worse.
 
Not as bad as my F'ing Raiders. 2 wins in a row! WTF?

Yeah, I don’t know how you address or correct that. You see it here first hand with the Jets. You really need to have an owner who knows what he doesn’t know and can put the right people in place without his ego getting in the way.

This was funny imo

NE already canned Mayo after just one season. I assume they are going to try to hire Vrabel ASAP.
 
He was a placeholder and trial balloon. Not sure why Kraft didn’t just go with Vrabel in the first place. Probably the usual dickhead CEO narrative - I have to do it my way and prove I’m the smartest guy in the room.

Agreed, seemed like a no-brainer last season. Vrabel is one of the best HCs in the game.

Midwestern teams have a wide fanbase thanks to all the middle states without NFL in their borders.

They are the adopted team for many because they haven't won in so long. They are also very fun to watch. I also remember a fair number of people becoming Lions fans because of Barry Sanders and they stuck with it over the years.

Would love to see KC vs Detroit in the SB. History vs History! :)

With 89 million in total dead cap, having a majority of games on the road (9), having a rookie QB and the leagues worst ranked roster headed into the season the Broncos found a way to clinch a playoff berth. The Broncos have nothing to lose this weekend and with that type of mentality in a playoff game, that can make a team very very dangerous!
 
There will be 3 times as many Vikings fans there
sadly plenty of rams fans will have other things to worry about the next few weeks

I heard this on WFAN a few days ago and wanted to see where people stood with who they want to see winning the Super Bowl. Here is a list from a 49er fan who doesn’t have his team in the mix this year

Teams I would be happy to see win
1. Lions. Win one for the first time. Like the HC
2. Bills. Win one for the first time. Like their fans
3. Eagles. My 6-year old & work friends would be :-)
4. Chargers. Love Jim Harbaugh
5. Broncos. Like Bo Nix

At this point I just don’t care
6. Packers. Like their franchise
7. Bucs. Like Baker Mayfield
8. Texans. Love the HC
9. Steelers. Good fans. Like the HC
10. Ravens. Would be happy for Lamar DH
11. Rams. Rival, but like HC a lot
12. Vikings. Don’t like team but like Darnold
13. Commanders. Like their GM and QB

The sooner you are out of the playoffs the better
14. Chiefs. So freaking sick of them. Don’t want to see a 3-peat. I don’t even want them in the SB. Let someone else make the game this year.

I never understand this point of view. Chiefs are the most entertaining NFL team since Reid arrived and turned it up when they got Mahomes. They don't have any players that people generally hate. Great fan base etc. What's not to like?

Remember how great the KC fans treated the Giants the weekend after 9-11. The only downside of the Chiefs is that Taylor Swift will get more air time than the game.
