Yo, where’s the weekly game thread?

guess I’ll make one, so get in here and celebrate your team making it to the dance, or bitch about the sorry ass state of your team, or maybe they did as well as could be expected, and you’re happy with the season.

Cleveland @ Houston is probably the most interesting matchup, to me. Pittsburgh @ Buffalo sounds fun. My favorite aspect of the game between Green Bay @ Dallas is that, by Sunday night, there is a guarantee that one of them will be eliminated.

I guess it’s only fair that Green Bay kept Seattle out of the playoffs this year, after week 18, 2022. That said, ftp.

    glad the Hawks won but didn’t (deserve) to go to the playoffs. Mayyyybe now we get some decent changes in coaching, the talent is there, but they don’t have shit for direction.

    Crazy that the season is over. I’m so excited for next week.

    Will the Eagles shoot themselves in the foot?

    Will the Dolphins have enough healthy players?

    Which side will claim victory in the great Goff/Stafford swap?

    Will a rookie beat an old veteran who just came off his couch a month or two ago?

    So many great questions leading into the wild card round.

    Tua and Tyreek were disappointing in the 2nd half vs Bills. I’m not hopeful they will be successful in KC, but Chiefs themselves are iffy this entire season and look vulnerable.

    a Baker vs Flacco Browns super bowl is a possibility 🤯

    that could be happening in just a few weeks. it could actually, really be fucking happening.

      Anything is a possibility. Next year could be a Panthers v Patriots Super Bowl. Just because it could happen doesn’t mean it will. I’d be amazed if the Bucs get past the divisional round.

        two of the losingist teams ever.

        one helmed by the QB that the browns threw away, shortly after not only making the playoffs, but beating a divisional rival, at that!

        the browns have never been to a super bowl. well, when moved to Baltimore in the '90s, and then won one… then about a decade later these “new”-browns won another… led by Joe Flacco.

        there are many interesting stories with each matchup every year. but this… it being a possibility not in week 10 or 11, but in the playoffs! it’s fucking transcendent, imo.

    I don’t know if I’ve ever dreaded watching an 11 win team make the playoffs like I have with the eagles this year.

    We’ve looked like absolute dogshit these last games I don’t see how we get out of the first round.

      I think they have the talent to beat any team once. That’s why it’s frustrating to see us beat on scheme. Watching the same defense get picked apart, the same pass play shut down again and again.

      I really think that the coaching is bad and the team is gassed.
