2025 NFL Playoffs Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

The two teams who play the ugliest brand of football in the playoffs were the Chargers and Steelers, especially the Steelers, and they are now done. Even if you hate running the ball, thinking the Ravens should have just gone into Air Raid offense last night when they were crushing the Steelers in the trenches is certainly an opinion.

So far. I'm not holding onto much hope that Denver will do anything today.

I don't get calling the Ravens offence ugly either. They average 8 yards per pass, and 6 yards a run last night and pretty much play the second half in cruise control.

The game between them and most likely Buffalo next week will hopefully be a classic.

If you can't appreciate how great Lamar Jackson is playing right now, I'm not sure why you bother following the NFL. I'll admit that in years 3 to 5 when he had some injury issues, that I did start to have some doubts. But these last two seasons have been phenomenal. Now we see if he can get past Mahomes and Allen if that's how the bracket falls.

GOAT Nix already top 3 all time, I am moved.

[chummer]

Two darts, guy is so accurate.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Feels like you gotta be going for it 4th and 7 after that fake punt. Fake being worthless really sucks.

[Sylvanfan]

This is starting to look like Buffalo will put up 31 unanswered points and end up with 44 minutes of possession.

[Sylvanfan]

That was a big sack by Zach Allen. Was looking like it would be 24-7 by the next time the Brocos got the ball.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Odd game. Feels like Buffalo has dominated, but it's a few inches from being tied. Big first series in the second half, if the Broncos can hold them out of a TD they'll be in a great shape.

Im still not sure yet if you really understand football?

Oh I do trust me. Win the battle in the trenches and run the ball it’s just not entertaining.

When my team isn’t playing I just want entertainment. Lots of passes and a couple of funny interceptions.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Watching the Steelers get crushed is always entertaining.

Nix is having a great game, but the Broncos are making way too many mistakes and Payton's playcalling has been way too conservative.

This is the way.

[trackercowe]

I'm curious if there was a redraft today would Caleb Williams go third behind Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels? Or is Nix more of a system quarterback with a higher quality coach?

[KelVarnsen]

Josh got his RB knocked out there

[Senator Clay Davis]

Nix is definitely in a better situation, but he's also shown meaningful improvement over the year. Probably not enough to get ahead of Caleb in a redraft though

[browna]

Good old "hospital ball" by Josh. Safety tried to get the shoulder in there too.

[Sylvanfan]

Yeah 10 years ago that's just a suicide pass. Today it probably ends up in points for the Bills.

No way the Raiders or Steelers of the 70's would have survived in today's rules.

Edit...yep TD that ends the game for all intents and purposes.

[KelVarnsen]

Wow. That’s a great catch.
