2026 NFL Playoffs Thread

Payton and his ego gets in the way of a result.

[Cheese]

Wooohooo, Pats baybéeeeeee

[CgyFlamesftw]

Crazy to think Patriots back in the Superbowl and could win it already after the brady era. Wonder how many NFL fans are pissed.

[habernac]

23 years old. Maye held onto the ball today, he learned something over the last week. Lots of work to do, looking forward to seeing it.

Do you only watch sports for LOLs? Cynical way to enjoy sports.

I expect they have almost no chance at all to win it, but kudos on getting there, regardless how ugly this was

I watch what's in front of me. That it mostly makes me laugh is the sports problem, not mine. Almost every sport right now is in a down cycle except maybe baseball, who will be locked out this time next year. C'est la vie and all that.

[MRCboicgy]

Yeah, we need the Ravens, Chiefs, and now the Bills to figure out their stuff to bring balance back to the force.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Bills had a chance lol. As good as Patriots fans feel right now, I'm positive Bills fans feel significantly worse that they couldn't make the Super Bowl out of the worst conference in NFL history.

[trackercowe]

Do you think these guys actually pick their wagers and bets themselves... or more likely are they reading off a teleprompter?

[MacDaddy77]

How about some facts here to go with your hate Clay.

Fact is Patriots beat 3 top 5 defenses to get to the Super Bowl and Maye used his legs, protected the ball and did what was needed. I said before the game people were sleeping on Pats d and it’s would be whole could establish the run and the clock.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Another fact: The Patriots offense has averaged 1.31 points per drive in the playoffs. The NFL average this year was 2.11. They have been dog#### pretty much, but the other QBs have been worse. It's been thrilling football, a joy for the fans to watch.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

I really hope the Hawks win, but I recognize the Rams are at least as good and there's no real shame in a loss here. They've exceeded my expectations for the season and thjs is all icing on the cake now.

[MacDaddy77]

Doesn’t matter how they got it done. They did. Defense wins and their d is rolling

Only 1 team can move on and they did.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yeah, and now despite not being very good all postseason one good performance in two weeks and that could be enough. But real football is starting, so let's enjoy this Super Bowl.

[ResAlien]

No sense arguing now. Sometimes the odds break in your favour with a historically easy schedule, injuries for your opponents, and weather making things 50/50 games. Still have to take advantage of it. We'll see in a few weeks if they can horseshoe their way to a Lombardi. Should be interesting

[Senator Clay Davis]

Dream start for the Seahawks.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

That is the first play over 20 yards the Hawks defense has allowed in... over a month, I think?

Edit: yep, since the last time they played the Rams.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well if I'm gonna rip on Maye, Stafford has also been kind of cheeks in the playoffs. Even that throw to Nacua wasn't great, he just had his guy beat by so much it didn't matter. Been right around 50% completion all postseason.

Refs you suck
