Road To The Super Bowl 2023

[Ski]

How I felt watching the Jaguars game last night.  

 

 

[gim]

Although I do not think the Jaguars will beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead next week, they are certainly a team on the rise.  Their last 5 games, they have overcome at least a 9 point deficit in the second half to win the game, including last night's 27 points deficit.  Wish Trevor Lawrence would get a haircut though.

 

Seahawks were certainly better than I thought they would be this season.  I don't think Gino Smith is the answer, but he was better than I thought he would be.

 

The 49ers will very likely end the Vikings season next week in the divisional round.  That's IF the cardiac kids can win today against the G men.

I agree with what you’re saying but if any coach can pull off the upset it’s going to be Doug Pederson, he has a quiet, reserved coaching style and knows how to stay focused and execute a change in game plan which gets the best out of his players.

This isn't even close to being competitive.  Didn't think it would be either.

 

Scratch that.  Two Allen interceptions has made it a game before half.

Reserved coaching style is anything but Pedersen though.  

Games have been solid so far or at least entertaining.  Always something different when teams are divsion rivals and meet up for a third time in the playoffs.

Buffalo took about 2 hours off my life the 2nd quarter and first possession of the second half.

Based on that math, if you had watched the Vikings this season, you'd be DEAD by now.

[Bird]

Gotta admit, very surprised the Bills are struggling with Miami......was thinking blowout.

[Darren.]

Conference games are a dice throw, IMO. But I did expect the

Bills to easily beat a rook QB. But Fins came prepared, and hit

the Bills in the mouth toward end of first half. Shook the boys

up good.

 

Bottom line, Bills gotta play MUCH better with who's to come.

Hopefully they will. I can't stand this much longer w/o needing

to order a defibrillator for the house. I mean, come on!

NYG !

[flyfisher]

So far my predictions are all accurate.  Seahawks showed they were trash and didn't belong in the playoffs, Bills won, Jags squeaked one out and now the Giants beat the fraud vikings and Cousins who can't win on the national stage. Now we see the Bengals beat the Ravens and the Bucs will win tomorrow and we move on to next week....

I should have clarified with he’s reserved as far as sideline antics and emotions at least in my opinion ?  Looking forward to the next game Bengals vs Ravens ?

The Vikings were clearly frauds this season. They went 11-0 in one score games, and then 0-1 in the playoffs (in a one score game). Not really a surprise. They should have won about 8 games these season, not 13.

 

Their loss has absolutely nothing to do with the way Cousins played though. He had a fantastic season and a good game. O’Connell calls the offensive plays, not Cousins. It’s possible Cousins could have called an audible, but we do not know that. The 31st ranked defense is clearly to blame. Defensive Coordinator Ed Donatell can go please.

Let’s make that “now we’ll see if the Bengals beat the Ravens”.  

[Eric 26]

I should also add I was a huge Mke Ditka fan who was anything but reserved??

if this was a one time deal with cousins then fine but he hasn't been able to win anywhere he has played in primetime games.  He is like Romo, puts up fantastic numbers but can't win when it counts. I still cannot believe how much money he made from Washington though....

I don’t disagree. I hear this every week from Vikings fans. Washington has gone through 12 quarterbacks since they traded Cousins in 2017. That is what the Vikings look like without Cousins. Musical chairs at QB. There are about 20 teams that would like to have him at QB.

Hi gimirus, how about a straight up trade, Cousins for Rodgers and Donatell for Berry.  Will throw in Matt LaFluer for a new spinning reel.

Anybody besides me think that John Harbaugh didn’t appreciate the sideline interview ??. He was almost as chippy as the players on the field,  and I wish the mic picked up what he said when he walked away?

Definitely chippy, but he already knows the outcome...... not winning without Lamar.
