Championship Round Playoff Thread

Oof. That's the one thing that Stidham can't do is turn the ball over, as a backup QB. Patriots got the ball back close to the end zone!!

Stidham terrible decision, needs to just not fug up and they’ll win but that was a disastrous momentum changing giveaway

I think Dan Morgan is well aware that our team's biggest weaknesses are interior LB and pass rusher. He'll probably make those two positions a priority this off season, also getting  a serviceable  LT to replace Ickey with depending on the severity of his injury/return timetable.

I would be very surprised if Ickey plays at all next season.

Wow. The play being blown dead costs the Pats a TD.

Hire full time referees and make them more accountable. I hate seeing games, much less playoff games, be directly changed by their poo.

I guess we just saw why he is a backup.  What a terrible decision.  Throw it away earlier, or take the sack.

What the fug was that ruling

Worked out for them in the end.

I take it back. The refs fuging up let's Maye get a TD.

Ironically I was just about to say that the Pats are gonna have to let Maye run if they want to get their offense going.

Drake May runs it in for the first TD for New England. 7 Pats, 7 Ponies.

That Stidham backwards pass turnover totally changed the game.

I think that somehow the NFL becomes more liable for the point shaving going on if they directly full time employ the refs.

I think they got it right, mostly.  I mean it was a backwards pass.

From what I remember Surtain was considered the safer of the two CB picks as well to make. I can't remember why the Panthers picked Horn over him. Maybe they thought Horn had a higher ceiling or more potential.

That was a halmark of the Rhule/Fitterer era. Betting on traits instead of straight up solid and consistent production.

To be honest with you. And I like Horn on a personal level. The prevailing reason he is a Panther is because he played for South Carolina. We've done this multiple times now coveting players because of their local ties. We seem to prioritize this.
