I think with the Falcons the offensive strategy worked, I just don't think they were prepared for us to get a TD on almost every possession. More of a clock management chess match 

I bet they averaged 10+ypc on power runs to the right. They were doing it at will. But for some reason they didn't just keep doing it. It was bizarre.

Some good NFC storylines:

-KOC vs. his old HC in LA

-Likely ROTY vs. Redemption (WAS v. TB)

-Eagles vs. Packers, finally without injuries (They never seem to play at full strength - I.E. Rypien game)

For the AFC, it's basically, can the Bills or Ravens take on KC? Can LAC play spoiler? And that's about it haha.

Honestly, I think the Bills are the best team in the league. But the best team doesn't always win the SB. Just feels like KC has had every lucky break fall their way and at some point it feels like those types of teams usually run out of luck. As great as Lamar is, I'll believe in playoffs Lamar once he puts together a couple of good playoff games in a row. There has historically been a massive Gulf of difference between regular season Lamar and playoffs Lamar.

Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

You're flexing because the QB of a 14-3 team had a bad game in a loss to a 15-2 team? Seriously? 😂

Definitely truth there about Lamar and BAL.  The AFC is KC's playground unless Allen or Lamar can overcome it.  I'm enjoying BUF this year, but KC just wins.  And Mahomes in the playoffs is the new Brady.  He just can't be denied.

Although, I think KC's biggest poison could be this LAC squad in the DIV round.  HOU seems to be limping in and just has too many holes right now.  But the Chargers stack up well and know how to play in KC.  Hope BAL-BUF happens in the DIV round.  

Think it'd be fun to see a KC-BUF AFCC (Allen finally beats KC in the big one) and a DET-LAR rematch NFCC (That high scorer this season felt like a premonition).    

BUF-DET The Battle of Lake Erie.  Sorry Browns lol.

Just a week ago it was you doing the flexing on behalf of that 14-3 QB now suddenly it's a problem to talk about him having his worst game since his time with the Jets heading into the playoffs. Bit hypocritical.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
