Wild Card Weekend Gamethread

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Chiefs had a 21-3 lead at halftime, and the AFC's leading rusher, Kareem Hunt, had like 4 carries in the 2nd half. That's exactly why they lost like 6 out of 7 games in the middle of the season. Reid should be fired for even allowing that to happen again.

Used to happen with Jamaal 5-yards-per-touch Charles all the time too.

“Coach, why did Charles only get 5 touches in the second half?”
“We’ll have to take a look at that.”

But they say he’s a genius.

 

[GregHarris]

Is that the first first?

 

[GregHarris]

Alford is damn good. Can we sign him?

 

[bigq]

Reid has to get fired. He won’t, but he should be.

Hope so. He can be the Pats next coach when BB leaves at the end of the season.

 

[Ale Xander]

I'll take Alford Trufant and Jones against Goff thank you very much

either the falcon d is better than advertised or the rams o is spitting the bit

I think Goff is easier to defend than Brees and Cam

 

[hittery]

God this game is so dull after that last one.

 

[Ed Hillel]

God this game is so dull after that last one.

The first half of that game was ass, to be fair.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Julio runs like a...can’t think of what.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Someone have a car horn in the place?

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf was that

 

[Ale Xander]

Someone have a car horn in the place?

La traffic

 

[Al Zarilla]

All these dropped balls today. No excuse in LA with the nice weather.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hanging loose with Mr Coop

 

[DeadlySplitter]

oh no Rams, oh no

 

[McBride11]

LAR special teams covering itself in glory tonite.

 

[Vandalman]

Another fumble...

 

[rodderick]

Oooofff Rams. Settle down.

 

[johnmd20]

Rams are rattled.

 

[BigSoxFan]

GJGE, Pharoh

rams determined to shit their dicks today

 

[pokey_reese]

Jesus, AGAIN?

 

[Ale Xander]

I'm rooting for Falcons partly because of the SB reminders

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Could the Rams have played someone else if they won last week against SF? Either way, I'm starting to wonder if sitting their starters is coming back to bite them in the ass. Seems to happen fairly often.

If the Saints beat the Bucs they would have played Carolina. And be down 14-0 now not 6-0.

Falcons are the 6 seed

 

[Ale Xander]

I'd like see the Falcons get a 27-3 lead

 

[Zedia]

I just noticed that channel 7 is no longer NBC. It's channel 10, which comes in much better anyway.

Just catching up. Wait - do you use rabbit ears?

Just 27?

 

[loshjott]

Last two playoff games involved teams wearing red blowing huge leads.

 

[Ale Xander]

Halfway there

 

[McBride11]

I thought you weren't allowed to carry runners forward?

Is this just a misconception or changed rule?

 

[axx]

Reggie Bush approves.

Rams are shitting themselves in the foot. Too many points given up on turnovers

Young team, lights might be a bit too bright.

 

[Ale Xander]

Offensive interference

Nope

 

[E5 Yaz]

Rams are shitting themselves in the foot.

Is this an LA thing?

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Jimmy G ripped the heart out of the Rams last week.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Young team, lights might be a bit too bright.

It's Hollywood, so put on some shades.

Or is this an LA thing?

Soxhop always has the most entertaining typos/autocorrects.

No, Cleveland

I thought they should have played Goff, Gurley, etc. at least a half, even got ridiculed for posting that here. Belichick has never sat Tom for a whole game at the end of the season that didn’t matter. He’s the standard. Wake up, McVay.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Cooper's a mess

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fantastic punt and coverage.

 

[johnmd20]

Just a stupid late hit.

 

[McBride11]

Gurley finally arrived in the LA traffic

 

[koufax32]

Halfway there

Whoa oh..

 

[ngruz25]

Goff and the Atlanta defender just had an awkward moment.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

now that was a good throw.
