To hold the Vikings to NO td's with our beat - up defense is nothing less than (dang near) impossible. I agree, the Lions defense, specifically in the red zone, was the difference. Three times the Vikings got inside the 10 yard line and came away with a whopping 6 points out of it. That's not the results or offense I watched all season. Still a heckuva season finishing 14-3 given the projected win total was about 7 games. 1 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 6 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 6 On a good note, the Vikings safely flew home last night. It's the only successful touchdown they've had all week! 7 Quote

Oh you and me both 😃 As far as the game last night it was a great display of coaching on both sides of the ball for both teams but in the end the creativity from the Lions defensive coordinator was just too much in my opinion and really got into Sam Darnold’s head, again that’s just my opinion. I will say though that I know I’ve said in the past although I’m a diehard Bears fan I knew we didn’t have a chance this year and my wife and I are both huge fans of Dan Campbell’s so I was really happy with last night’s outcome and hope they can continue with mine and my wife’s superbowl dream match up being Detroit vs Buffalo. 1 Quote

The Packers, with a record of 11-6, went 1-5 inside the division. They racked up 10 wins outside the NFC North and only 1 inside of it. And they were a blocked 47 yard FG away from going 0-6 in the division too. Its the best record a division as a whole has posted in 30 years. Historically good. Quote
Super User gim Posted January 12 Author Super User Posted January 12 Slightly surprised to see Houston blow out the Chargers yesterday. I think the potential Ravens-Bills game in the divisional round could be epic, should it occur. 2 Quote

That's the matchup I was expecting and looking forward to when the brackets came out. The Chiefs will most assuredly be awaiting the winner at Arrowhead too the following week. Massive advantage to KC too; they were able to rest players in week 17/bye and they only have to beat Houston at home to reach the conference championship. Meanwhile, the Bills and Ravens need to beat each other to reach that game without a bye. 1 Quote

Cook was money. Refs? Glad they didn't affect the outcome. But go Bills! , 2 Quote

Can’t say I am either, especially after their matchup earlier this year. The Bills, if they win, will have a tough couple weeks assuming KC wins. 2 Quote
Eric 26 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I for one feel if the Texans take advantage of the fact that the Chiefs have basically rested their starters for 3 weeks and score quickly and hopefully at least twice they might have a chance. The biggest problem with my theory is Andy Reid is imho the best coach at making halftime adjustments. Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 13 Super User Posted January 13 McCarthy's out ... I feel like the Cowboys dirtied him by no letting him go sooner or not letting him interview for the Bears position Quote

Seems like Jerry Jones would have kept him if MMc had agreed to the new contract offer. Maybe, McCarthy got mad because the Cowboys wouldn’t let him talk to other teams. The Bears could benefit from hiring a coach with so much experience over the untested guys they’ve been hiring. Quote

Eric 26 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Although I don’t know what happened with Mike McCarthy and Dallas I did hear he wasn’t allowed to talk to the Bears and as a lifelong fan of the Bears I’m really hoping McCarthy lands a job elsewhere. My reasoning for this is the Bears in my opinion and quite a few sports radio hosts is the Bears need a leader to change the culture in the organization and McCarthy doesn’t seem like a good fit in this respect. Yes he’s a hard ass coach which I loved in Ditka but he isn’t the second coming of Ditka imho. We need a leader who can figure this messed up organization out not a my way or the highway kind of guy, again just my personal opinion. Quote

Though Houston was pretty good vs. Chargers. Hopefully will give KC a real headache, and even beat 'em. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 14 Super User Posted January 14 Andy Reid is arguably the best coach in NFL history and coming out of a bye week has lost only a handful of games. KC will roll through the Texans, Lions will trounce the Commies, Eagles will beat whover they face but I prefer the Vikings matchup and the Bills will beat the Ravens much more easily than people think. Washington looks like they found their QB of the future but time will tell as the secon year is really when you see what a QB is gonna be. Lions look poised to have a long run and so do the bills but those d**n Chiefs are just that good... 3 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 14 Global Moderator Posted January 14 I missed the first quarter, whew what a rough couple of drives for the Vikes! Quote
Super User gim Posted January 14 Author Super User Posted January 14 Unwatchable What a total buzz kill. 14 wins and 4 losses with all 4 of those to the same 2 teams in back to back weeks twice. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 14 Global Moderator Posted January 14 @gim I blame it on Dan Campbell after what he said to O’Connell after the game. 1 Quote
