    I don’t like it but, I don’t know how KC is only an A-. They kept winning all season. The blow out to Denver was a gift to the little horses because the Chiefs played a JV team against them. That might speak poorly for the Chiefs if someone like Mahomes gets injured.

    God, I miss the days where our team was just slightly competent enough to be a considered a clown show unworthy to win a playoff game on Wild Card weekend.

    You know times are rough when you're reminiscing of a time when Mac Jones was your starting QB and your defense couldn't stop the opposing offense enough times to force a single punt.😎

    Announcers put the jinx on Herbert. Posted stat before start of game. Herbert has thrown 260 passes in a row on the road without an int. Today 3,so far.

    Both LA and Denver had soft schedules. Just look at who they’ve beaten and who they lost to. At least Houston played a first place schedule that toughened them up.
    The moment was too big for Herbert again.
    I think Buffalo exposes Denver as frauds tomorrow.

    Everyone keeps trying to stuff Herbert into the top 5 QB class. Every year it’s the same blah blah. Let’s quit and say he’s in the Trevor Lawrence class and call it a day.

    i didn't bet on this game, but when i was reading up on it from various sources, almost everyone and their dog was picking LA to win

    i simply couldn't understand it

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The best thing about this game is that Jim Harbaugh loses. Justin Herbert's career has been hampered by poor coaching: he is already with his 4th head coach and 4th offensive coordinator. That sort of stuff has an effect. I remember the struggles that Baker Mayfield had with the Browns during his tenure which included four head coaches and five offensive coordinators.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,224 ✭✭✭✭✭

    How about having Denver forfeit the game tomorrow against the Bills. B)

    Would that make persons complaining about the Chargers v. Houston game feel better; and would it satisfy those persons who dump on teams that they think are terrible?

    It seems to me that it makes sense to have the games be played and see who wins. If a team plays terrible and performs at such a low level that it OFFENDS fans who watch the game then feel free to complain.

    If, by a miracle, the Bills lose tomorrow fans who think Denver is not worthy to play the Bills can shift their gear/focus and direct their complaints against the Bills players, coaches, management, ownership, cheerleaders and/or refs.

    Go Denver, shock the world :)

    I bet 2 parlays, one with the Chargers and the other had neither of these 2 teams

    I didn't trust either team and I'm absolutely ashamed of myself for taking the Chargers in one of my parlays

  • BLUEJAYWAYBLUEJAYWAY Posts: 9,505 ✭✭✭✭✭

    2 separate parlays for me based on this game. After the first half I had conceded defeat. Par 1 was the over of 42.5, Washington over50, and GB over 45. Par 2 Houston+3,GB over 45, and Bills ML. So you can see why I gave up early. Not so much on Houston coming back, but the over for sure.

    sitting here watching this game and can't help but wonder when Pitt is going to move off Tomlin. he has the creativity of a sloth

    seems like the ceiling is an uber-boring, outdated brand of football that never results in a losing season, yet stands zero chance of amounting to anything in the playoffs

    seriously, when is the last time you saw a lightning strike by Pittsburgh on offense

    they are just brutal to watch. it's like i'm watching the Chargers all over again

    No surprise. The Steelers look like the Eagles did in last year’s post season. They died at the end of the season.

    The Eagles at the end of last year would have lost to the Jets with Arron Rogers passing on crutches.

    Mike Tomlin reminds me of Marty Schottenheimer. Defensive minded coach that would probably run the ball every play if they could get away with it. He has the ability to coach up minimal talent to get the maximum out of them to the point of overachieving. Unfortunately, at some point in the playoffs, they will always run into a better team with advantages that his coaching can't overcome.

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Pittsburgh may have played poorly but give a little credit to the Ravens, something is going on there. These teams had already played each other twice and the rivalry is intense. Derrick Henry is a different player this season and Lamar Jackson is an incredible talent. It looked like number "50" for the Steelers was spying on him but it was ineffective, Jackson fakes to perfection and it's hard to tell when he's kept the ball. Overall during the game the Ravens just looked like they were moving at a faster speed than the Steelers.

    That's the thing about the Steelers, they are like watching paint dry

    Nothing is fast paced about their offense, I didn't even watch either game yesterday because I refuse to watch Pittsburgh or the Chargers

    The Chargers with Herbert seem to be exactly the same as the Philip River’s led Chargers. Sometimes they’re good enough to make the playoffs but when they do it’s one and done. Never much of a threat.

    Things really slowed down for the Broncos and the Bills seem determined to run the ball. Seems like the only real hope for a Denver win is to limit the number of Buffalo possessions and win a low scoring game.

    Buffalo is the better team, but Denver is not rolling over. A competitive game that with another inch or two to the left on Denver’s field goal the game would be tied at half time.
