NFL: ***Official Playoffs Thread***

[BigJCy]

Chiefs offense vs this defense is going to be interesting.

Yep, think this 49ers run game is going to give Chiefs some issues though. And yes I know they slowed down Henry today.

 

[CTTB78]

Not surprised how good the Niners defensive front looks, but I'm shocked how bad the Packer D-line was in the first half.

So, in this instance it appears that the worst point differential for a 13 win team in the Super Bowl era means something.

Mostert earning himself a contract tonight.

The Packers must be focused on Jimmy G. Smart.

So the NFL's only going to get half the Super Bowl they wanted.

And it means something to really build a team instead of relying on a HOF QB to bail you out year after year.

Haven't seen an NFL game in years (maybe ever) where a team doesn't have to throw the ball.

 

[Gonzo]

F*ck the Packers.

Which matchup do you think they wanted?

Most likely Packers/Chiefs would have the biggest draw.

I'd think the Niners would be a bigger draw than the Packers.

 

[Cyched]

I'd think the Niners would be a bigger draw than the Packers.

They’re both national fan bases so I think they’d be fine either way

 

[BCClone]

I'd think the Niners would be a bigger draw than the Packers.

Packers may be a small market but they have a huge fan base. How they survive in GB. Go to away games and there is a large amount of cheeseheads at them.

 

[WalkingCY]

Chieeeeefs!!!!

 

[Mr Janny]

Most likely Packers/Chiefs would have the biggest draw.

I don't know about that. San Fran is by far the largest TV market of the 4 teams this weekend. Not that the TV market is the end all be all, but the NFL can't be super displeased about either NFC representative. Both are top ten in fanbase size.

Which matchup do you think they wanted?

Packers-Chiefs. Replay of Super Bowl I for the 100th anniversary of the NFL.

gotcha. I could see that.

Someone should have told GB about it.

That being said, I don't think the NFL is upset with Niners-Chiefs. Should be big ratings, the Niners are an old school franchise (not as old school as the Packers, but still old school compared to a lot of teams), and half of SBI with the Chiefs.

I think I heard the only matchup the NFL might not have liked would have been either Packers-Titans or Niners-Titans.
