NFL Playoffs Thread

[Triple-S]

And you can argue that Alex Smith would be the clear best Qb of that group. What can he do with Josh Gordon, Myles Garrett, these draft picks, and this cap space? We can't build a better offense around Alex Smith than Mike Mularkey has around Mariota. He' better than Bortles, Tyrod, Flacco. I'd argue that there are bigger threats in the AFC than the teams listed without Brady and Ben. OAK, DEN, LAC, HOU, IND are right on par wit those other teams.

Well yeah. But this is assuming that Brady rode off into the sunset last year (as did Belichick), and Roethlisberger also did as well. This is assuming that the injuries to Luck, Watson all remained. This is also pre-Gruden Raiders.

But for some reason the AFC instantly becomes more of an intriguing conference and parity sort of returns.

As bizarre as this sounds? I think No. 7, not his team were directly responsible for the Browns losing to them.
I can remember the 1999-2003 Browns consistently playing them well and actually beating them because the Steelers didn't have an "closer" to put them away.
No. 7 is their Mariano Riverea. If the game is tied 20-20, 2 minute warning in Cleveland? All he has to do is drive the team down to the 35 and the game is over. I've seen that happen with him quite often. Now the 2015-17 BROWNS are not beating them, but their predecessors likely do.

Is it just me, or does this thread belong in the "Around the NFL" section? I love the Browns, but they haven't sniffed the playoffs in years.

Atlanta needs to get their shit together and come through for the sake of our damn pick. I also can't stand Eagles fans. They play the disappointed sports fan card a little too much.

NFL coaches are so fucking stupid.

 

[Los216]

Sanu makes an iffy catch in a crucial moment of the game and instead of getting up on the ball quickly he's flexing. Who is coaching these dudes? How does everyone not no to get on the ball quickly there? WTF?

That fourth down pitch and catch between Ryan and Jones was so damn clutch.

God, Carson Wentz has the most punchable face.

Please win, Falcons.

This is a weird obsession you have

Reigning MVP, best WR in the league, dynamic two man running game, great O-Line. Their offense looks dumb. Just flat out dumb. Be honest for a sec. How bad would Hue Jackson look if he was coaching that offense. Their coaching on offense lost them this game. Just absolute dumb ass play calling. They didn't get beat by Nick Foles they got beat by Sark. This guy ruined Matt Ryan and Julio Jones but he's still a hot commodity on the coaching market.

NFL coaching is dumb. Julio and Matt Ryan are not as bad as Sark made them look this year I promise you that.
