The official 2022-23 NFL playoffs thread

[Fishhead7]

Lots of games coming up.

 

All are welcome here

NFC

 

The Seattle-SanFran game will be an opportunity to see what these two teams are all about.  I've not watch much of either team this year, but I'm thinking it could be a decent game.

 

The Giants and Vikings should be a good one, particularly how their prior meeting played out.  There will probably be a lot of big plays, and the Giants have a real shot here.  However like I mentioned in another thread, I don't fear the Vikings even a little bit (not to sound obnoxious or arrogant  )

 

I can't believe there's a playoff game on Monday night?  Maybe I'm just getting to old to watch hours of commercials till midnight.  I'll be pulling for Brady to kick some butt, and also hoping the Cowboys shoot themselves in the foot

AFC

 

Buffalo & Miami - this game could very well be a score like we had for the college football finale.  Nuff said.

 

Cincy & the Ravens - I got no dog in this fight but would like to see the Ravens advance because they're closer to home than the middle of nowhere

 

Chargers & Jaguars - Brady all the way, at least until he faces Philly!

Ravens gonna get killed. #8 still not practicing which means not playing. Even if he does manage to play his left leg his his drive leg and he probably has not thrown a real pass in weeks. He can throw standing still to keep the arm and shoulder loose but that’s not gonna work. His accuracy is gonna be worse than it already is lol. Besides it’s his running that helps this team win.

Interesting matchup.  A Cincy win would be a "third time's a charm" event, as SF has won their prior two SB meetings.

This above.

 

Miami will be a joke

 

Chargers and Jags should be a good game and close talent and team make up

Lemarr should not have been dragging his feet and representing himself in getting a contract done. This may backfire on him

IF Lemar plays and IF he's not rusty, then there's a chance.  Otherwise they're a one-and-done.

The more I study this matchup the more I believe that Dak & his boys are going to be on the short end.  Statistical trends aren't everything, but the Cowboys are trending down in some defensive areas where the Bucs are trending up offensively, so Brady may have a bundle of big play opportunities!

 

also, just saw this ...

He's officially out, he's not playing.....and as far as his contract goes, they exercised his fifth year this year (23M) he's a UFA next year. The ravens are either going to pay him what he wants (they lost any leverage)  or he walks to highest bidder- but he's banged which leaves a big question mark up for everyone

 

He turned down a 5 year $250 million offer from the ravens last sept according to reports.

His name is Lamar. Don’t be like the old ass above. He is not practicing this week. Reports are knee is still swollen. So he is out. Huntley is hurting, wrist, shoulder. He was limited in practice Wednesday. Not sure about today yet. That leaves Brown who had what three turnovers last Sunday. One a fumble in the end zone for gosh sake. Bengals favored by 8.5 so far.

Thanks, I often interchange e and a when they're the second letter of a word or name.  One of my many quirks
