NFL Playoffs w/Vikes and Pack eliminated

I thought the present moment deserved its own thread.

The 2 roughing calls in the Chiefs game were an embarrassment to the NFL.

Would have like to see the Texans pull that off. Curious why at the end the Chiefs punter took a safety? Was that a Vegas thing??

As for the NFC, I’m pulling for the Lions

Hoping they go all the way!

They’ve never won a Superbowl. I couldn’t imagine what it must feel to be one of their fans??

They take a safety versus the potential of the Texans blocking the punt and scoring to make it a one score game.

Daniels doesn’t look fazed at all in the Lions den. The Lions could be in trouble.

Only if Gibbs breaks his leg.

I get that if there’s 5 minutes left, but with a minute and change with one time out there’s zero chance they could have caught up.

Even if they blocked the punt, got a TD, then a 2 point conversion, the Chiefs would have gotten the ball back and been able to kneel it out anyway? Am I missing something? Then maybe an on-side kick recovery and FG drive?

Those odds have to be astronomical. (blocked punt for a TD-then convert the 2pt-then recover an on-side kick [they’re not like they used to be]-then drive down to the 35 yard line-then make a clutch kick??)

I’m guessing stick’em is allowed in the league again.

Onside kick and then a FG. It’s super low percentage but if you remember last year The Chiefs scored in 13 seconds to beat buffalo.

^^^^ I was editing my post while you typed Matt

I thought about it, and there was “a” chance, but a crazy amount of things would have to have gone right to make it happen

(blocked punt for a TD-then convert the 2pt-then recover an on-side kick [they’re not like they used to be]-then drive down to the 35-ish yard line-then make a clutch kick??)

Glad I didn’t bet a $100 on that to happen ^^^^

WOW……. Lions look like the vikings!!!!!!

Oooofff, that was a brutal pick 6

The Kitties have some catching up to do

My-O-My.

The Lions looked fazed, and now they are in real trouble, down two scores. They need to score before half or the game may have gotten past them like it did vs. Buffalo.

Goff going to the tent

Wow Goff is getting checked out for a big hit on the pick 6.

Defense optional.

Just the game the NFL needed.

the more games I watch, either these games are fixed, or the ref’s have become more inept than they ever have been. maybe the game need to have less rules that can be intrepid 6 different ways.

Kliff Kingsbury has had a hell of a run this year. He is an underrated football coach. He was the guy that got video game numbers out of 5’8” Kyler Murray who refused to watch film early in his career too.

How many more points does Washington have to score to win? I think 13 or 14 should do it.

I agree, terrible reffing, and the tackling in the NFL is questionable at best. Hard to watch running backs and big receivers attempted to be tackled up high and ran into.

detroits toast!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s amazing the kitties are even still in the game with 4 turnovers.

The Lions defense is one injury away from using stadium food vendors to get 11 guys on the field.

I don’t have a horse in the race or love playing the “what if” game, but if the Lions had even half of the 18 guys healthy that they are missing…this would be a different game.

Not looking good

I was like what is that Lions TD celebration where they were burying a dead body when they were still behind, Huh?

Just be glad Chicago didn’t draft Jayden Daniels!

Aikman wasn’t very happy with the refs calls in regards to the hits on Mahomes.
He had made a comment about the NFL needing to deal with those types of calls.

The Washington/Detroit game has been called decently. A missed call on Washington for the hit on Goff and the face mask call for a no face mask tackle against Washington.

Knowing Da Bears, I bet Daniel’s wouldn’t be playing like he is if he had been drafted by Da Bears.
