They’re wasting his prime the same way we did Geno’s.

Now that's something that makes me happy.

There has to be a 99.9% chance Bills win, why would NFL want to see Lamar crush Bo Nix. Just a story we're watching.

Of all the playoff teams and the Bengals, Pitt has to be the worst situation going forward in trying to be a Super Bowl caliber kind of team again. And I don't think it's even close right now, even before the rest of these games today and tomorrow.
Also I say this after watching Herbert yesterday in his 5th season. The only reason I give the nod to Pitt in being in the worst situation over the Chargers, is because Chargers have Harbaugh and he is getting that franchise turned around. I don't know if Herbert will be the guy, I'm not holding my breath, but I would bet on their situation over Pitt right now.
RE: Wildcard games thread - reuben.ahmed - 01-12-2025
Herbert quickly found out again playoff football is different than regular season. Too bad we couldn't have seen what Burrow on a roll could have done in the playoffs this year. Like Lamar said post game, the playoffs are different, "players aren't playing around" lol.
Us making the superbowl just gave Zac Taylor a long contract, it guaranteed nothing else. There is some cloud over oh the steelers must be great, but seems like the Bengals are probably better than them but missed the playoffs. 2nd place is the first loser, steelers are in the same spot as us.

Rooting for the Bronco's today. Rooting for Bo Nix. Pretty steady for a rookie.

It's a much closer game than I might have anticipated. They keep letting them hang around it could be an interesting finish.

Yeah, they pulled off the risky play, yet still weren't able to turn it into points. The Broncos have always been my Dad's fallback team, so for his sake I'm hoping that they pull off the upset.

My Mom was a huge Broncos fan, going back to the Craig Morton days and SB XII. She'd be watching and rooting for them today were she still here. I'd certainly prefer them over Baltimore, KC, Houston or Buffalo.

Yeah, I just don't see it happening for them today. Their deep Safety is lazy. He had an opportunity to make a pick on an overthrown ball, but chose to lazily stay in his deep middle spot, rather than observing that the ball was going to be overthrown and making a break toward it. They are playing like they are already defeated, like simply making the playoffs was the goal.

snore of a wild card game set so far

My dad would be rooting for the lions right now, and I think he liked Lamar. I'm thinking it's Lamar or Goff this year.

I thought Denver would put up more of a fight than they did.

First quarter has the markings of a great game. Kind of just fell apart though. Future looks bright.
On another note, who TF thought it a good idea to have a sax play the national anthem? What's next? Bagpipes?

I think so to. Bo Nix is going to be a franchise QB.

Oh yes, it sure looks like he's gonna be a good un.
RE: Wildcard games thread - reuben.ahmed - 01-12-2025
J. Hurts 6/13, 39 yards, up 10-0 at half. Worst playoffs ever so far. Very unpredictable.

They got nothing in this conference, no way to fight mahomes, allen, lamar, and burrow. bo nix got zero rings at end, maybe at the tail when the rest are old and decrepit.
