2017-18 NFL Playoffs Thread

Jacksonville's coaching staff were obviously terrified in the second half of the game, they called a terrible game on both sides of the ball.

When you play a team like New England that are basically composed and patient you don't have to give them much of an opening for them to take advantage.

When it came down to the last drive by the Jags, it was almost like they had zero confidence in anything after the first two completions, they called it like they didn't see a weakness they could exploit.

I can't blame BB, this one is on the coaches.

Also the Pats were pretty much asleep until the cheap shot on Gronk and then they woke up. It was a stupid play.

You want to really stop it, hit the player in the pocket book.

Not only a ejection, but if the player is out the offender pays the equivalent of that players game day check as a fine.

So in this case Church would be hit with a $562,000 fine, he makes $402,000 a game. Also for the first hit like that its the fine and one week suspension, the second is two weeks and two weeks fine, do it a third time you forfeit your salary for the year and your out for the season.

Should have trusted Bortles more, run game wasn't working as well as the pass. And in the end despite the Jags dominating time of possession, the Jags defense was the one that looked gassed in the fourth. Interesting decision ahead for the Jags with Bortles.

Romo is great. Didn’t get a homer vibe from him and he’d be going nuts if Bortles put it together those last two drives.
Nantz on the other hand is making sure he stays pals with Kraft.

Oh my god. Shut up and get over it. Jags didn’t play for 60 minutes and lost.

If the Giants move on from Manning, he would be ideal. Back with Coughlin with that D? A much better team.

There we go!! The Battle of the Backup QBs.

The bottom line is there isn't a running play in any game at any instance that doesn't have holding. Its the degree of holding that gets called.

Coaches and fans might go nuts, but if they called all holding there would be no running game or passing game.

So made a little bit of dough off the Pats game and wandered over to see what prop bets looked interesting in this second game.

Saw where the O/U for Foles rushing yards was... 1.5.

I plunked down a good chunk on the over.

I mean...what am i missing here?

Maybe they expect him to be sacked a few times. He loses rush yards on a sack does he not?

He’s got 116 attempts in his career for rushing 350 yards in 49 games in his career.
7 games this year and he has 11 carries for 3 yards.

Brady is the comeback king! Never count out the GOAT!

Curling TD celebration from Vikes.

[White Out 403]

Perfect start to the game!

Yup...i still think because the Vikes defense is so good...he will have to be running at times. im just ssuming there is more + yards than -,....by 1 1/2 yds. Watch him end up with 1 yd rushing now.

I dunno...seemed like a really good value bet to me.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Eagles receivers letting Foles down, one bad drop and zero sideline awareness on another

[transplant99]

Silly mistakes by the Eagles.

Why Burton jumped to make that catch is more than a little confusing.

[White Out 403]

Welp. 3rd stringer giveth, and taketh.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Random observation.

If I stream the game thru my Telus app on my iPad there’s no simsub.

Now that we get US commercials for the Super Bowl it doesn’t matter much but good to know.

Umm, Joe Montana retired a while ago.
