Shaping up to be a classic b/t iconic teams

Highly entertaining football game.  Sooooo many players losing their footing and slipping on the wet grass.  Time to change cleats.

Nice first down catch by Jennings 

He came up big time with multiple crucial catches after Deebo went out. 
 
The game wasn’t pretty, but from the Niners perspective it was a Purdy good ending.

Not to discredit Baltimore, but Houston had a very good season.

Houston had a good season, Baltimore is having a GREAT season so far. Baltimore didn't beat Houston because Houston over achieved this year and was unworthy. I don't recall any pundits predicting Baltimore as the #1 seed in the AFC, so maybe Baltimore over achieved? "Not to discredit Baltimore, but" discredits Baltimore no matter how you try to qualify it.

Lamar Jackson looks like he’s on a mission. Just unstoppable. No matter who they play next between the Chiefs and Bills, that game could be a ton of fun. 

The Pack is almost there, just a missed field goal and a bad int on that last drive. Love looks like a keeper.  Purdy looked cool and collected on their go-ahead drive; pundits had voiced some concern about his not being playoff-tested. 
 

Looking forward to the games today!

Gotta admit. I'm super nervous for Bills v. Chiefs today.

 

Go Bills!

  Green Bay’s a good team and gave the Niners all they could handle last night. The game was reminiscent of those Farve led Packers playing the 49er playoffs back in the 90’s. Purdy engineering that drive to set up the go ahead TD was what a playoff caliber quarterback does when you’re in a dogfight and need to find a way to win.

 

  Houston played Baltimore even into halftime, but then Lamar and the Ravens defense took over. Baltimore is a complete team on both sides of the ball, their kicker is money and whoever wins this afternoon’s game between the Bills and Chiefs will have their hands full in the championship game.

 
  Dan Campbell has the Lion’s playing solid football and their fan base energized but you can’t discount Baker Mayfield and the Bucs after the way they handled Philly last weekend. Should be a good game.

  *With last night’s win, the Niners tied the Packers and Patriots in playoff wins with 37.

 

  Go Niners!

Niner's /Green Bay game was reasonably officiated too.  It didn't appear the refs dictated the outcome of this one. 

 

A nice benefit with the playoffs is that only the best officials are on the field.  Although, being the "best" when the bar is set so low isn't necessarily a compliment.  LOL

It’s a shame but true..

Tickets to the Bucs/Lions game today are an average of $1,168 each.  It's the single most expensive ticket for a divisional playoff game in the history of the NFL.

 

Football fans in D town have been starved of success for so many years they are willing to spend their life savings to get into Ford Field.

An enterprising fan able to scalp enough tickets,

might even be able to afford one of dem Bass Cat boats.

For sure this is the secondary market, i wonder what the differance in price is from down low good seats to nose bleed seat prices?

When I read about the ticket price thing last night, they said there were still some left around half that price too.

[Eric 26]

Ford Field will be rocking. You can almost feel the energy through the tv, Baker has his work cut out for him today.

Is it just me,

or does 'the nose' look like it belongs somewhere else ?

[throttleplate]

when my team is out of it i like to cheer on the underdogs, who is the real underdog in this game not according to the vegas line? I am conflicted on who i would like to win, Baker needs to redeem himself for being a first round pick previous failure while the lions need to redeem themselve since forever.

Yeah I can't ever remember seeing a crowd as fired up at a NFL game as this one or really last week.

Go Bills!

 

It’s not going to be an easy game. The defense is beat up pretty bad but they’re holding their own. Allen has been running more which is helping add another level of threat. We just need to keep Allen from making stupid passes. 
 

Mahomes is in uncharted waters with an away playoff game so there’s that. 
 

I think the Bills get the win. 

[12poundbass]

And the network just went out. I have nothing but a black screen. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[TnRiver46]

@12poundbass Oh no. I’m listening thru espn radio Kansas City , they are a Westwood one affiliate station 

[12poundbass]

Apparently I’m not the only one. Thankfully I have Peacock and it works there. I switched just in time for halftime. 🙄

[gim]

Momentum has definitely swung in favor of the Bucs now.  They are moving the ball at will.

[TnRiver46]

Fumbled then sacked right when you typed that ……

The crew from the Dallas /Detroit game was disallowed from doing any playoff games 😂
