NFL playoff thread

[Puck]

Yea I know wrong forum...... Pretty bzy posting about the awesomeness of the Colts and just gonna make it easier for now to be involved in all conversations without looking.

This does not mean you need to come up with every playoff moment in NFL history C&O.... just saying

[Puck]

Ravens Chargers on now.... have at it


Boomer thinks they could replace Jackson in the second half

He looks like shit and the Bolts seem to be rattling him and have maybe figured out his BS

[Butter]

I have mostly only seen highlights of Jackson until today so it is a pretty limited sample. He is a tremendous athlete, but he does not seem to do QB things very well.

[omahacolt]

Lamar Jackson is ugly and sucks

Yea I know, wrong forum ...... I've been pretty busy posting about the awesomeness of the Colts, and this is just going to make it easier (for now) for everybody to be involved in all of the conversations without looking.

12-0 Chargers, at halftime.

The first half of this game has been somewhat reminiscent of when the Colts went into Baltimore and beat the Ravens by a score of 15-6 in the 2006 Divisional playoffs, on the strength of 5 Adam Vinatieri field goals and a very solid effort by the Colts' defense.

Lamar looks pouty as fuck and Flacco looks like that cat the swallowed the canary. Joe is low key loving it.

Asshole, Chargers receiver ........ you have a 12-0 lead early in the 2nd half, deep in Ravens' territory. You are 2 yards BEYOND the 1st down sticks. Make the catch and go to the ground, especially since your quarterback threw that ball under a serious pass rush from the defense. To hell with your visions of grandeur about running into the end zone.


SUCKY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ........ the opposite of Andrew Luck yesterday, who ate the ball on 3rd down when his team was up by a score of 21-0 late in the 3rd quarter instead of risking a fumble or an INT.

[Butter]

That is one of the things I love about TY, his field position awareness is phenomenal, much like Marvin.

[Puck]

I love the Jackson hype might come to and end finally..... But no way the Chargers beat NE.

[indycolts2]

Yesterday I questioned some BS playoff team power ranking that had Colts dead last at 12th. Following is what some asshat responded with.

Him: Colts 1 and done.

Me: Meh......because almost all Colts fans will admit they didn't think they would have relevant football to watch in January before this season began. This is bonus football this year aaaand you're also wrong!


Him: LAMAR JACKSON AND THE RAVENS DEFENSE WILL EAT THEM ALIVE SORRY SIR


Me: Well the only way that can be a possibility is if the Colts are not one and done. Hope you're not one of those bitter Baltimore fans who hates The Mayflower Moving Co.


After game me: Hmm......one and done huh! Just gonna leave this here.

I'm rooting for the Ravens because the Chargers are a better team.

But I guess for it to matter to the Colts, they'll have to beat KC first.

1-0. 1-0. 1-0.

[Chromeburn]

Another guy fumbles fighting for extra yards with a guy dragging him down. Gotta know when to go down, just a target for the defense at that point.

And coupled with that turnover which resulted in a Ravens field goal, that was probably at least a 6-point (and maybe a 10-point) swing right there. If the receiver had done the right thing, the Chargers very likely would have had a field goal from ultra-chip-shot range, and maybe even a touchdown.


Instead of being up either 15-0 or 19-0 with the Ravens on the brink of oblivion, it's still a game at 12-3.

They have a pass rush but but not much more the ravens D can stop Brady... And if they go back to Fuckko he might take advantage of the opportunity

[dwilli57]

I'm not really seeing anything in this game that scares me. It's surely not as fun a game to watch as ours was.

[daedge]

Yeah, the Ravens' special teams unit has come up huge early in the second half, with a blocked FG and blocked punt.

[daedge]

And now Tucker misses his first post season FG - beautiful.

i just can't root for the Ravens - unless they're playing the Patriots.

Usually west coast teams don’t travel well going east. But with a vet QB and solid team all around. I can see them doing it.


I’m not sorry to see the ravens getting knocked out, that defense is scary. But they can’t score, well they can’t pass. If Flacco came in and got hot like he did on their SB, they would be nearly unstoppable.

That would have been yesterday, when Ebron had it, lost it, had it, and lost it again in the end zone.


Unlike that Bailey play from the 1995 AFC Championship game, the Colts got a touchdown on the very next play on a pass from Luck to Inman.

I remember the pre-season game against them and thought they looked fast and relentless. No one seemed to talk about them.

[Chromeburn]

Yes, I would do it now.

[daedge]

What a clinic by the Chargers on D. The Ravens have -2 passing yards.

Harbaugh knows he should put Flacco in. However, he won't. It's too late, they're not winning this anyway. And, given Jackson is the future there, it's not worth pulling him.

Just saw this tweet regarding the matter....

"The only conclusion: Lamar Jackson has a sex tape of Ray Lewis and John Harbaugh."

[Butter]

would you put Flacco in?

I would have at half, run option is not how you came back in a game.

[Colt Classic]

Square head scrunch face getting roughed up. Yet another regular season hype QB that all of the experts salivate over how great he looks in a regular season game and then falls flat because he can't do much when defenses get good.

[Butter]

I just have to say how much I enjoy Baltimore tears.

[Dewey 5]

I want SD to beat the cheats next week.

[TheMugwump]

Am I the only one who looks at Jackson and sees a poor mans' Deshaun Watson?

Outta call one "short hop" and the other one "off target".

no, Watson can throw the ball and do the other QB things.

[nate505]

I'm glad the Chargers are winning as I think they have a better chance of knocking out the Fags next week. That being said, they are aided by the idiocy that is John Harbaugh. Why Jackson is still in at this point is a total mystery.

[VeveJones007]

They will. Pats are done.

o

The Chargers are getting a lot of pressure on a very mobile Lamar Jackson ........ Flacco is considerably less mobile AND he has poor pocket presence.

At this point, it's just a matter of whether or nor the Ravens want to rearrange the chairs on their rapidly-sinking Titanic ship.

Back in the day, on the Rats board, there was a Baltimore troll named Raven Rick. Constantly bad mouthing the Colts. One poster renamed him Craven Dick, which to this day still makes me laugh my ass off.

With a 20-3 (now 23-3) lead?

No way.

And even if they did "respect" Flacco, the most that the slow-footed and football IQ-challenged Flacco could do would be to perhaps muster one touchdown against a prevent defense that has a 3-possession lead.

And speaking of lack of situational awareness, what the HELL were the Chargers thinking on their last possession ........ they had 3rd down and 8 from deep inside Ravens territory, and they THROW THE BALL to try to get the 1st down ???

Duh ........ keep the ball on the ground and run 35 more seconds off of the clock, and then kick the field goal.

o

[Puck]

Wow the are the Chargers being coached by Pagano?

[Puck]

damn I think thats a TD

Clear as day that's a TD. Thought it was live, too. Official was right there. Get it right.

[Chromeburn]

Haha Baltimore hanging in there.

[Colts And Orioles]

o

Very bad clock management by the Chargers this late in the game, on both sides of the ball.


In addition to what I previously alluded to (throwing the ball for an incomplete pass on 3rd down and long deep in Ravens territory with a 17-point lead and less than 10 minutes to play), the made another boner on the Ravens' previous drive ........ allowing Jackson to throw a 31-yard-touchdown pass when you have a 20-point lead. You have to make him make at least 2 more passes and tackle them in-bounds before allowing that touchdown in that situation ......... in other words, continue to play the prevent defense that you were playing for that entire drive previous to that play.

On to the Bears Philly game


have at it

I don't have a lot of hope for Philly.

I don't have a lot of hope for Philly.

Really? I think this will be Chicagos hardest test. Foles runs this offense better than Wentz.

EDIT. to date. they will have issues with Brees. I think they beat the rams though. Depends on Tribisky and if he has the same in deer in the headlights look that Jackson did today

[JAFF]

2 road teams have won so far, and the Eagles are scrappy.

WOW!!!!! Great job on the corner kick!!!!

Trubisky shitting the bed is the potential wild card here.

I use too..... If the Colts and Bears don't make it I hop Philly wins it all again with Foles.

Wouldn't mind seeing Rivers get one. And I use to hate that fucker.

Just not the Cheats or the Chiefs.... the Mahomes tributes are over the top... and I like him

[Puck]

Trubisky shitting the bed is the potential wild card here.

I am hoping that's what happens to Mahomes next week.... but he comes from a sports family and I am not sure he will be overwhelmed

Nice job drunken morons.

[nate505]

The announcers are confused about that rule, but to me it makes sense. If there's a fumble and nobody recovers it, I think it's appropriate to make the call an incomplete catch. Especially when the refs ruled it an incomplete pass. Why should Chicago benefit in the scenario.

[Puck]

Nice job drunken morons.


Fuck Baltimore!!!!!!!!

[Thorgrim]

I’ve never met a soul that didn’t hate that piece of trash.

Tom Brady loves him.... but he doesn't have a soul

[GoBigBlue88]

Roquan Smith is super impressive. I'm glad Colts got Nelson, but Ballard really couldn't have gone wrong with Nelson/Chubb/Smith in the range Colts picked. All three are really good players (Colts just needed Nelson more + more generational talent of the 3).

[Puck]

this is a great game!

Yep.....Foles is far from Trash. to claim that is stupid. best back up QB in football and IMO is a better option for the eagles that Wentz

[1965southpaw]

Anyone think this bears loss gives frank the edge in the coach of the year race? Sure Nagy won his division but he was starting with a more stable base and a gift in Mack. Frank is winning when it counts and did more with less in my opinion.

keeping the worst FG kicker in the league on the team is cause to eliminate him from discussion..... BAD COACHING!!!! It matters!!!

[WaynesWorld87]

I'm convinced at this point that Nick Foles truly does have God or some other higher being on his side.

The guy just never loses big games. Tonight, a kicker misses a game winning 43-yard FG that hits the upright and then hits the crossbar. I'm aware Parkey is a bad kicker, but still. How does Nick Foles keep winning every big game he plays in?

Until proven otherwise, I think we've reached a point where you just don't bet against Nick Foles in a big game. Even though they're playing on the road against Drew Brees and the Saints next week, I'm sure the Eagles will find a way to pull something out of their ass and win.
