Playoff upsets


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

A lot of people will say New England, but I don't like what I saw of them against Indy and NO. They have a glass jaw.

Baltimore has had a schedule a lot like Pittsburgh's last year.

And Arizona could easily flame out like Carolina did last year, but Warner is 8-3 in the playoffs, and had stellar numbers in all three losses. Maybe he's due for a clunker, but he seems immune to them in the postseason.

I think the Packers make a run. They are getting hot at the right time. Rogers is legit. And no one beats the pack in Lambeau in December. If they make it in as a wildcard, they're facing Arizona or Dallas, and the Packers could tear either of them apart. I think they can make it to the NFC championship game, unless they get the lowest seed and face NO in the Divisional round.

NO is one and done

I just can't agree with this. It's funny that the only people I hear saying this are Panthers fans. :P

I mean, they very well may be one and done, but they are the second most complete team in the conference (first being Minnesota, in my mind).

Don't laugh here guys: the Tennessee Titans will make the playoffs after starting 0-6. :eek:

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
