Wild Card Winners

[fknhippie]

I'd love to see the Rams and Saints do a one and done.

No, I thought it was ridiculous when the guy posted it. I just think it's funny that it actually did turn out that if you could go back and change that one outcome they would have made the playoffs. Honestly, I didn't think they would make it this close to the playoffs

Okay.

My point, I think just about every team had a game, a call, or a play that in hindsight had some bearing on their season.

I think as long as DET has Stafford, you have a shot, but they have simply not put a complete team on the field. Hard to make the playoffs when your DEF is ranked in the 20s against points scored or your OFC ranks 30th in rushing.

Yeah I hear you. I'm not a Lions fan so I don't follow them as closely as some but they also seem to shoot themselves in the foot with fumbles and dropped passes a little more than other teams (mostly running backs, Ebron). I like Stafford though. And Marvin Jones is the man. Usually those big play guys like him are kind of hit and miss (see Amari Cooper) but this season he caught at least one or two passes of 30,40,50 yards almost every game.

The Lions were on the cusp of building something sustainable, they had some big time DEF players and some key OFC weapons...then it started to unravel...I don't blame them at all for letting Suh go for that kind of cash. But letting Avril go was a mistake...the DEF went right back to being mediocre.

The Rams are one of two franchises that have never won a home wild card game (the Lions are the other).

Hmm interesting.

Sure you would.

The Chiefs should and likely will take care of the Titans, I think.
The Jags need to clean up their shit from the last 2 weeks or the Bills could upset them. The Bills are playing with house money.
I have heard that it's hard to beat the same opponent 3 times in one season so I guess that gives the Panthers hope but Sham Newton has showed up the last couple weeks and if that trend continues, the Saints will roll. They will likely beat the Panthers anyway.
The Falcons/Rams might be the most interesting of all. Although inconsistent all year, the Falcons have the experience and talent to pull off an upset if the young Rams aren't ready. That might be a great game to watch.

This is a misconception.

Chiefs over Titans in low scoring game
I want Rams over Falcons, but I think Falcons will pull off win
Buffalo surprise upset over Jags by narrow margin
Scam Newton will pull out win, but Saints will keep it very close

(Let's hope I'm wrong about at least a couple of those) ....could this be the week that I'm 0 - 4 ?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

This is a misconception.

Yeah, it's memorable when the loser of the first two wins, but the evidence points this being more cliche than not. Being as close to .500 as it is however kind of just tell me playoff teams generally don't have 8 point spreads dropped on them on neutral fields.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

The fact the cold won't factor into any of these games is a travesty.

 

[Rex Racer]

3 outta 4 ain't bad.

Only missed one because I picked the young Rams to hold serve at home against natty Choke and the Falcons.

 

[Mike A. S.]

I can't understand how any playoff team can lose to the Titans in the playoffs at home when they have an 18-point lead... Mind-blowing.

When Andy Reid is coaching them
Pats/Titans shouldnt even be televised, at least they found the least rated time slot for them
