NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round game thread

[Al Zarilla]

Stafford, Kupp, "Hold my beer."

 

[Remagellan]

That's a good comp by Collingsworth.

 

[DJnVa]

That might be the most ridiculous game I've ever seen.

 

[PseuFighter]

zero chance the rams were winning that in overtime. good for the rams.

 

[dirtynine]

The Rams just wanted to make it interesting?

 

[Section15Box113]

He’s not retiring after that.
Zero chance.

 

[ngruz25]

I am STUNNED at the blitz call. All you needed to do was keep them from gaining 30ish yards.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Todd Bowles isn’t getting hired this cycle

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Well that was something! Wow

 

[RoDaddy]

Great great career Tom if this is your last game. We luv ya!!!

 

[johnmd20]

You leave Kupp alone.

Weird flex, but ok.

 

[soxin6]

You were saying?

They did collapse and then they came back and won.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Antoine Winfield Jr burned outside of 10-20 yards from the LOS is no shock

 

[RorschachsMask]

The embrace between Brady and Sony got it a bit dusty in here, but no way Brady goes out like that.

 

[Valek123]

Really dumb slot blitz with best receiver in NFL left 1 on 1

 

[CFB_Rules]

Did the ref set the ball there before they spiked it?

I bet the Back Judge spotted the ball

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Is that the most memorable playoff game prior to the Conference Championship round? I mean, ever?

 

[Silverdude2167]

McVay found the drive starter? You mean a QB sneak that lead to a fumble?

 

[DJnVa]

Tampa Bay fired their DC yet?

 

[Kliq]

I can't believe they blitzed the corner who was guarding Cooper Kupp.

 

[amRadio]

What a shocker. Great game.

 

[rymflaherty]

So, who kicks the walk-off FG later tonight?

KC will probably win by 20+ now, since that’s the game everyone thought would be best…Seems to be how that usually works.

 

[dirtynine]

If the Bucs had a real fanbase, that would leave a mark.

 

[The Social Chair]

Bummer

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Moronic blitz.

Jetsian, even.

 

[54thMA]

With Gay's leg, Rams have to get this to like the TB 15.

Got any stock tips?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So the Rams calling that weird time out before the review on the spot ended up giving them time for a comeback.

 

[shawnrbu]

Jared Goff totally could have done that.

 

[ifmanis5]

Todd Bowles, those job interviews just got a bit problematic.

 

[staz]

Stafford, Kupp, "Hold my beer."

100%

 

[djbayko]

zero chance the rams were winning that in overtime. good for the rams.

They couldn't do what they just did in the last 45 seconds in OT?

 

[moonshotmanny]

So many games ending on a last second field goal!

 

[54thMA]

All three of these games so far may end in a last second FG.

That's crazy talk............

 

[Ed Hillel]

The embrace between Brady and Sony got it a bit dusty in here, but no way Brady goes out like that.

If he doesn’t think they’re building a winner, seems like a pretty good game to go out on. Went down swinging (kinda). Or watching opponent punch themselves in the face.

 

[Silverdude2167]

He’s not retiring after that.
Zero chance.

Honestly, if he had his stat line from the first half I could see him not wanting to go out like that.

But going out with a crazy comeback that falls short because your coaching staff is stupid, seems likely to me.

 

[shawnrbu]

So the Rams calling that weird time out before the review on the spot ended up giving them time for a comeback.

McVay called timeout to get his short yardage unit in.

 

[Caspir]

Is that the most memorable playoff game prior to the Conference Championship round? I mean, ever?

No.

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That might be the most ridiculous game I've ever seen.

I think I agree

 

[snowmanny]

Well, that was fun, even though I was rooting for Brady. I'm sort of glad the Patriots lost by 150 points instead of like that. Or like the Cowboys. Or the Packers. Or the Titans.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Frank Reich?

 

[heavyde050]

Brady brought them all the way back and the defense lost Kupp (again) at the worst time.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Holy shit, what a second half. Instant classic

 

[Ale Xander]

Never seen someone's stock go down as fast as Todd Bowles

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

McVay called timeout to get his short yardage unit in.

Turned out being important.

 

[dhellers]

I am thinking that both teams were utterly exhausted. Especially mentally. Prone to stupid mistakes.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Frank Reich?

Yeah, good point. But did that game have as many memorable incidents as this one?

 

[coremiller]

Reminds me a lot of this game, which I'm sure you'll recall:

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

64 yards on 2 plays to Kupp with no time outs

 

[snowmanny]

6th time out of 20 that Brady fails to make the CCG

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The idea is that fouls that affect the play should give the offense a new set of downs. A foul that happens when the ball is dead by definition cannot affect the play.

except for roughing the passer
