I'm not snarking at you here...
With the weather in that SD/Cincy game being so brutal, the narrative is that it's a major catalyst for keeping the high flying Chargers out of the SB. The Bengals beat them 40-17 earlier that year in San Diego when it was 65 degrees and little wind.
Maybe under normal conditions while getting a 2nd crack at em' things could have been different. Who knows? From a historical perspective that 1st match-up in San Diego is not well known, or forgotten about, or overlooked for some reason.
Marty Schottenheimer was fired from SD after a 14-2 season where a DB didn't have the presence of mind to just take a knee after a late-ish INT vs Tom Brady. That franchise might still be deserving of this bad and then some.
This has more to do with TV timeslots than the NFL I suppose, but I always felt it was odd to not have both #1 seeds play on Saturday of the divisional round. They've had their rest and could possibly catch an opponent from wildcard weekend on a short week by 1 day. Then if the 1 seeds win, they get the extra day to prep for the CCGs. Last year I believe both 1 seeds were playing on Saturday but in years past, its been a mixed bag of Sat & Sun games.
I wish they’d just do sat/sun, each conference gets a day. Rinse and repeat next week.
Agreed. Obviously I'm sure it's huge ratings but playoff Monday night game feels weird
Is that sarcasm?
Brady vs the Cowboys in the playoffs on Monday night is going to be one of the most watched games all year.
I don't... but I'll still be watching. What else would I do on a Monday night in January?
I'm beginning to realize why the Miami QBs are hurt all the time. That offensive line is struggling.
He should have bet on the Jaguars and broke the sports book (If they even would have taken a bet that large).
Cowards, 5 mins of review to give offsetting PF's. Allen should at least get one, if it's the other way around and the d lineman takes that cheap shot he's getting flagged.
Agree. Chargers roster is better, but being in the NFC with a declining/retiring Rodgers/Brady is better than signing up for 10 years going against Mahomes, Allen, Burrows, Lawrence, Jackson.
Is that the WH that just had the big brawl?
Maybe it's tough to narrow that down to just one location
