Tough spot for the Bills. They HAVE to beat Miami to make the playoffs because I don’t see the Steelers (against Ravens back up) or Jaguars losing.

Nothing about Buffalo’s play the last 2 weeks gives me confidence they can beat Miami. The only hope is Josh’s continued daddy status vs the fins

Dolphins got devastated by injuries the last two weeks tbh, including Chubb whose out for the season. I think the Bills win by 14+.

49ers haven't lost a home playoff game since Kyle Williams. I had a house party.

I can't even remember the last time I watched ESPN (other than when an actual game is on). The last time I did it was just Stephen A. Smith and a panel of chimpanzees talking about the Cowboys while behaving in a way comparable to that of a group of Southeast Washington DC corner boys.

it's always on whenever I go to the gym in the morning tbh

Whenever they have "BixNood to English" closed captioning translation on I can usually follow what they're talking about, otherwise I'm completely lost these days IMHO

Any teams for a fact tanking this last game?

I know Balt, SF etc won't start a lot of their starters.

But are any teams going to lose, period? As in tank on purpose.

Philly might do it to rest their starters since they know Dallas ain’t losing to Washington. KC and Cleveland are also locked into 3 and 5 seed, respectively.

I don’t see any teams tanking with the purpose of getting a more favorable matchup, if that’s what you’re asking

For parlay purposes.
Just ttanking, period.

[MultiTroll]

Ya i don't either at this point.
Jags need to win and Tenn you would think wants to lose to get a better draft spot.

But Tenn coach is also hearing job whispers so may want to go out with bang, a win.

Panthers one would think would want to lose but i dunno.

Ravens have lost like 5 in a row to the greasy Steelers, including the last 3 at Baltimore. Maybe the 2nd unit will be fired up to win at home???
OTOH Huntley at QB does not inspire.
Its raining.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ravens mailing it in

[DeadlyDynasty]

Jesus Christ wipe the goddamn cameras

[MultiTroll]

Ravens mailing it in
No kidding.

F-ing Dumbaugh doesn't even attempt to score a touchdown with 16 farking seconds left

Melvin Gordon with a fumble lost. Who could have foreseen that coming? What an excellent late season pick up.

[benefactor]

Stroud is incredible

[Robz4000]

:lmao that drop

[benefactor]

Well look at Houston. Congrats

[Robz4000]

Want the Browns at home or Chiefs/Bills on the road tbh?

Not dumb to want Pittsburgh in and Buffalo out, tbh

You're doing yourselves and the rest of the AFC playoff picture a solid by keeping BUF and Trash Allen out, tbh. Nobody wants to face them come playoff time. Miami just needs to take care of business at home.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Want the Browns at home or Chiefs/Bills on the road tbh?

Either way HOU is a likely first round out, but nice rookie season by Stroud and a lot to build on. Stroud has to be ROY, right?


:lmao that drop
Yeah, Aikman trying to put that drop on Minshew is ridiculous. I don't care if you're a back or receiver or tight end or a fucking lineman, catch the damn ball, I would have caught that when I was 6.

Oh i knew the Ravens were going to lose.
I wanted them to cover or equal the Over 34.

TD + extra point makes it 34.
Then they could have just thrown the kickoff. Eazy peazy.

This.
#1 priority has to be adjust and secure ball.
It wasn't that far off.

Who the fuck picks over without looking at the weather forecast first? :lmao Especially with not one, but both teams missing their starting QBs.

Joke's on you for betting the over.

[Borosai]

Welp, the Bills haven't gotten the help they need to secure a playoff spot, just in case. If the Jags win tomorrow, it's the division and the 2 seed, or nothing. Crazy.

Tannelol staring for Titans. That's bad news for Jacksonville, imo. This is a proud coach and core at the end of their run and in the twilight of their careers.

Still, Bills need to win regardless of the outcome of this game.

Yeah Fabbs, gotta agree with him here. Those teams historically play close, low-scoring contests and now you're factoring in that one team is resting half their starters and the other is in the midst of a QB carousel. The weather was accurately forecasted about 36 hours prior too.

Not a good play, mate...and that's not just hindsight.

I lost my Ravens (+3.5) bet too, but it was just a play here or there in the 4th that swung that

Oh i knew it was raining. Was a small bet more or less for fun.
That having been said, 34 is low by NFL standards, rain or not.
And as you mentioned, a play here or there easily swings it. Not only in the 4th but earlier in the game. Pittsburg QB has them in FG range with a chance to gain more on 3rd down. Lets himself get sacked.

Melvin Gordon fumbling. Harbaovich could have seen that coming from 10 miles away.

[MultiTroll]

God is involved in the Colts playbook apparantly.

"It happens. I wish I would have made that play. I wish I could have made the play for this team and we could have a better result. But at the end of the day, that's not God's story. That's not what He had written."

Who said that? Steichen? Minshew? The receiving back who can't catch?

rb.

Hey i know it was his way of coping.

[Arcadian]

Go Titans

[Will Hunting]

The Baguars losing this game would be one of the most pathetic losses in recent memory

[monosylab1k]

The 2021 QB class was considered a loaded class, but as of right now every single one of them is a massive bust :lol

[Arcadian]

:lol Jags

[Arcadian]

Unfortunately, this makes tonight's game trivial.

Edit: actually it will determine the 2/6/7 seeds.

Edit2: and the AFC East division title

[Will Hunting]

The 2021 QB class was considered a loaded class, but as of right now every single one of them is a massive bust :lol
I forgot but yeah, it was hyped up a lot.

I wouldn't call Lawrence a bust but he's definitely not the type who can carry an otherwise struggling team to a W the way you expect a franchise QB to be able to.

The rest of the 2021 class is absolute trash though.

[Arcadian]

I never thought Mason Rudolph would be the answer, but here we are.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Well now that the pressure is off and the Dolphins are resting all their questionable players, you can expect our ginger plank of wood HC to have the team playing down to their competition as usual

[Mark Celibate]

Cowboons up 21-10...Tyrone gonna be shuckin' and jivin' in Ekko Lounge tonight if this score holds up tbh

[Robz4000]

Eagles are dead tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dak >>>> Lamar


36 TD - 9 INT vs 24 TD - 7 INT

5-1 division record vs 3-3

12-5 overall record vs 13-4

I was gonna add to this joke with a reference to the club “Mister Rich” that was in Knox/Henderson since that was the most ghetto place I saw in the Big D but I googled it and it was permanently closed :lmao

[GAustex]

Plenty of room on the Green and Gold bandwagon

[Millennial_Messiah]

Rams just took the lead over the Niners

Hope that score holds so the Packers have to go to Dallas in the Wild Card round, tbh. :toast

CeeDee Lamb is your MVP

Are you sure you want that buddy?:lol

That’s probably the last franchise Cowboy fans want to see in the playoffs…Rams are tough too but they don’t match up well with Dallas

Love gonna steal your lunch money

[Robz4000]

:lmao Darnold

[DeadlyDynasty]

Juicy WC weekend matchups

[Millennial_Messiah]

Time for us to kick the Packers teeth in for revenge the way the Bills did to the Patriots in 2021.

[Robz4000]

Juicy WC weekend matchups

Might legit pick all the underdogs in the NFC tbh (assuming the Eagles are favored over the Bucs).

[MultiTroll]

Are the Fish the #2 seed or we gotta finish this game?

Update. Got to play it out.
Bill could go all the way from 2 to 7 seed.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Juicy WC weekend matchups

yes, I fully expect Stafford to add to his career win column in Detroit where he always was solid.

[Millennial_Messiah]

We're going to dick down your frozen Wisconsin butts like I dicked down Wausau Amanda's Wisconsin pussy this past spring.

Huh? the run game and run blocking has been atrocious this year

[Millennial_Messiah]

You say cherrypicked stats, but seriously other than monkeyballin' rushing yards, what stat advantage does Jackson have over Prescott, tbh?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Trash Allen throws another pick. What else is new

Trash Allen fails to throw a TD in the endzone against cover zero blitz. What else is new

<edit> hilarious, it was the same exact play to Gabriel Davis as in the Philly OT loss. :lmao

Trash Allen is the biggest all time brain farter in NFL history

[GAustex]

We're going to dick down your frozen Wisconsin butts like I dicked down Wausau Amanda's Wisconsin pussy this past spring.

You and your escapades with dead cows frozen from the winter

[Mark Celibate]

players like Dak are the reason you have to take account big wins. Impossible to compare stats with a player like Dak who they leave in to ‘hit the stanky leg’ and ‘twerk that thang’ against garbage teams. Like that game against Phillys practice squad a few years ago where he threw 6 TDs and almost 500 yards or something? Felt like I was watching Texas Tech Mike Leach calling the plays in det one tbh

[Millennial_Messiah]

You and your escapades with dead cows frozen from the winter

she was both taller AND skinnier than me, but nice try

the only problem with her was the drinking and drugs

[Millennial_Messiah]

Are you sure you want that buddy?:lol

I don't think I agree.

The teams that give Dallas fits are the ones with a great running game and multiple star WRs, all of which the Rams have and the Packers really don't.

When Dallas beat the Rams at home early in the season, they were missing their current incumbent star back and they were missing Cooper Kupp, both of which will be available for the playoffs along with Puka Nakua.

The Rams might be the biggest threat to knocking off the Niners at full strength right now, they remind me of the 2021 Niners oddly enough imo.

[FrostKing]

:wakeup

[MultiTroll]

Defensive pass interference by Bills Db on Miamis last 3rd down.

[MultiTroll]

Wow why not go after the Ingram mismatch again.

Looked like Fish were gonna have him cover TE again.

[FrostKing]

Tua to Hill every play time

[Millennial_Messiah]

Trash carried by defense/special teams/Miami with the most epic 2nd half offensive chokejob in a play in game in all time history.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Hopefully Pickett is ready to go into Buffalo and take down Trash Allen and those poisoned vaxxed New Yorker fans up there in that Hochul-loving shithole by Niagara Falls

Unfortunately TJ Watt has a grade 2 knee sprain but it's the playoffs, gotta play, all hands on deck, you have all spring and summer to heal


Tua WTH was that final throw?

looked exactly like that Romo throw intended for Dez that lost us that 2012 play in game at the Redskins as Deangelo Hall was realistically the only player on either side who could have caught the ball and he did.

Tagovailoa isn't clutch.

[MultiTroll]

Tua WTH was that final throw?

[MultiTroll]

Wonder if Tua is affected by all those concussions he had?

[MultiTroll]

Fabulous coverage by NBC to break down what went wrong on the 93 yard punt return.
Rare, to see some IQ to go with the great camera work.

Well congrats Bills.

JAllen nutted up for several huge runs when they needed a 1st down.

[FrostKing]

The Dolphins are beating the Chiefs on round 1. Book it.

I mean, they are more than due for a big win and the Chiefs haven't looked right all year.

Tua concussion continued damage.
Tough break.

When he's on he's on. Far to many lapses.
I think Patty has become the new mini Brady for breaks.
