AFC Wild Card games thread

Love how everybody keeps making a big deal about playing in the rain during the Cincy vs Pittsburgh game.

The irony being: No one in the national media knows or even remembers-if they did know- that Newton played in about 3-4 monsoons earlier this season-when discussing his passing stats, and the negative effect those games had on them (along with receiver drops, and slowing down the offense with big leads) .

Apparently, Cam gets no mulligans from certain members in the media?

Why are people talking about Seattle? Haven't even beat the Vikings yet; even the media is overlooking Minnesota. Stop with that bs until they actually win pls.

 

I'm with ya,   I'm thinking "Any given Sunday",   but I can understand why so many are overlooking the Vikings.   Bridgewater has 17 total TDs in 16 games.    He seems to really strain when he tosses the ball down the field and even his shorter passes don't seem to have a lot of zip on them.   It's easy to write him off against the Seahawks defense.   If the Seahawks just have to pull everyone closer to the line,  and stop AP,  while also stopping those little dinks and dunks..   I don't see how the Vikings win.    I'm of the belief of "Any Given Sunday",  but I can't picture it in my head,  the Vikings winning.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
