2023 NFL Playoffs Thread

Not that it would have mattered, but even 4th and 1 on your own 19 should be an automatic go for the Giants. Imagine trusting this trash defense. Eagles gonna get Gardiner in early second half.

[transplant99]

Just complete annihilation thus far.


Eagles are freaking impressive.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Gronk is not funny at all and it's hard to take his analysis serious because of how goofy he is.

[Mathgod]

What a bloodbath. Somehow I don't think we'll see a repeat of Jags/Chargers.

[Paulie Walnuts]

This thing is over.

Eagles are going too be tough to beat.

Yeah no idea why I thought that, safe to say that's clearly the game I'm the most fired up for this weekend haha. As for this one, I guess we were overdue for another dud these playoffs, been pretty spoiled so far

[Joborule]

This currently is on course to be a flawless victory for the Eagles.

[ResAlien]

Lot of football left. You guys watched the first weekend of games right?

[EldrickOnIce]

Saw this as blowout
Did not see 270 yds rushing

[KelVarnsen]

Fly Eagles Fly!

[Mathgod]

Yeah no. No comeback in this one.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I might be inclined to let both Jones and Barkley walk if I was the Giants. Doubt it actually happens, but Jones ceiling is what it is and second RB contracts rarely work out. But I would guess they'll franchise Jones and try and sign Barkley to a deal. But do they ever need more help on the lines, Eagles whooped their asses on both sides last night, about as one sided a game in the trenches as you will see.

Glad the Chiefs survived and get to see a 5th straight AFC Championship game. Needed to use the whole team to do so. Definitely going to be tough with Mahomes mobility being limited. Defence stepped up pretty well to keep the Jags to 13 points after Mahomes injury. As is the case with a lot of wins the other team missed a couple of opportunities to keep the game closer or turn the game. Butkers face mask saved a T.D. Special teams will need to be better next week.

Still having been a fan for 35 years...1 AFC Title game in the first 30 and now 5 in a row is a great accomplishment. Lucky to have Mahomes and Reid.

You really get the feeling they are going to give Barkley a big extension which would be a big mistake. I don't think he's as good as Jacobs and I would prefer the Raiders simply franchise him for one or two seasons and let him go after.

Yeah we'll see if Daboll and Schoen maybe look at a team like the Bill's and go that route or try to keep overarching with mediocre talent at critical positions.

McDermott got a 9-7 Bills team to the playoffs his first year with Tyrod Taylor as his QB. But they fell back the next year and eventually built a more talented team that is a real competitor. There's a handful of guys on defence still on the roster today, but the offence and skill positions are drastically different. Giants should follow that blue print. Maybe you franchise Jones for a year since it will be tough to find an immediate upgrade. But Jones isn't leading a real contender, and the proven strategy is to avoid big second contracts for running backs.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Giants also weren't much different from the Vikings in terms of winning an obscene amount of one score games. Daboll did a hell of a job extracting as much as he could from this team, but they aren't particularly close to being Super Bowl contenders. But like McDermott, a season like this buys a lot of equity so he probably would have a lot of rope to take a step or two back next year.

Snow games rule.

[Tuco]

Snow coming straight down and dry is the best combo, according to the panel.



Edit: Looks like it's horizontal and wet

[Weitz]

Snow games are fun but I’d prefer good weather for a better game.

[FLAME ENVY]

Now that's an opening drive Cincinnati!
