Game Thread: Wildcard weekend

[Scooby-Doo]

Cannot agree with you... regarding comment Eagles backed into playoffs.

Eagles were first team to lock up playoff spot in Week 14 with 48-22 win over NYG and won in Week 15 as well. Backing into playoffs would imply despite loss or multiple losses they still made the playoffs. Eagles had clinched prior to their 2 losses towards end of season.

I would like to see Philly vs SF for NFC Championship game... think it would be a good one if both teams healthy. Do think SF is playing better ball down the stretch overall.

Maybe backed into the #1 seed would have been a better way to explain it.

Dolphins defense = we gonna win this game

Dolphins pass-catchers = hold our beers while we drop/miss these passes

Pretty much. Dolphins should be up by like 20 points right now. Bills still probably going to win this

I won't say 20, but they've had some potentially momentum building plays on offense squashed because guys flat out dropping balls, or just are not ready for the pass to come their way.

mistake free is the key for him.

You were saying...?

Terrible throw for a pick. They're covering deep, this is why you just dump the ball short on 3rd-and-19. What Thompson did was not worth the risk.

20 is a bit hyperbolic. It does seem like the Bills have given the game away, though, and the Dolphins havent fully capitalized.

Yep. First mistake..

That will beat them quickly

Yup. Chuck it outta bounds and get it next series...

Dolphins cant win if he starts making those mistakes.

 

[10HtownRebs]

Got to hold them to a FG here

Miami is making things interesting, didn’t see this coming…

I know. Yanking your chain, man...

I don't mind deep throws like that on 3rd down - just make them deep enough so that if they are picked, it's more like a punt anyway - can be some advantages with being able to throw it further than kick it, plus not having a returner return it, and potentially having guys already down field for any potential tackles.

3rd and 19 and throwing that pass for 15-20 yards is dumb, though...he was covered over/under.

Backing into the playoffs means you got in because other teams around you lost while you also lost but you were still able to qualify due to the other teams missing the playoffs around you.

Backing into the playoffs does not mean you are the first team in the league to secure a playoff spot, you finish the year with the best record in the league and you got the #1 seed.

You're a Cardinals fan so I get it why you wouldn't understand. You're team has never gotten the #1 seed.


It's not luck that got the Eagles the #1 seed it was a season of dominance that put them so far ahead of the rest of the field.

Like I said earlier, backed into the #1 seed would have been more appropriate.

Cardinals... SMH. They are a train wreck. Your hate is comical.

The Eagles are legit, but they are lucky to have the #1 seed. They caught the giants when they rested all their starters. The giants are the only playoff team to rest their starters in week 18. Gotta give the Eagles credit for handling their business early on. That is why they have the 1 seed.

Either way, the niners are playing the best in the NFC right now. That's really all that matters.

Hey, what’s the scenario again if Buffalo and KC make it to the AFC title game? It’s played on a neutral site ?

Should have been a flag on 60 for aiding the runner.
