NFL Playoffs Divisional Round - Games Thread

Something that amazes me is how insanely open these Packers WRs are. I saw the same phenomenon on some of the plays with with the Texans in the regular season.

Seeing the Panthers struggle so much with separation and seeing other teams have dudes almost all alone on a section on the field makes me blame the offensive scheme a LOT. Theres not THAT much of a difference in separation just from raw speed alone.

Just now, Brooklyn 3.0 said:

I enjoy the hate for Purdy. And I use that word lightly of course. At some point you guys have to admit he's better than just a game manager.

I honestly don't see it. He hits the throws I expect him to hit. He rarely misses when there's a throw there that you expect an NFL QB to hit. But he also rarely makes a plus player where you're like "oh wow, that was special". I call that a game manager. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's most certainly not a bad thing for the last pick in the draft. A lot of teams wish they had a good game manager. It only becomes a potential bad thing once the Niners have to entertain paying him like a legit franchise QB. You can't do that  if he's carrying a cap hit that forces you to make business decisions elsewhere on your roster he goes from a positive to a negative.

    • I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.
    • When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
