Championship Round Playoff Thread

What an idiotic fuging 3rd down play call. I wouldn't run a single traditional straight drop back pass play in these conditions. Put your mobile QB on the move with an option to run. This is so fuging obvious. Why do they keep refusing to do it?

If Denver lets them score again its curtain time for them.  Would rather see shitass cheating hrutgate Peyton go to the SB than the actually long time cheating pats.  Our SB with Denver was fuged by the NFL, the one with NE was fugged by the cheatriots and Bellacheat.

I'd rather pick levis at 9 and be moving on at this point 

Levis at 9, moving on, and having all those assets back would be a phenomenally better overall situation.

The 2024 QB draft class might end up going down as the greatest of all time. Only one that even remotely compares is 1983 with John Elway, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly.

I know it's early to say that but Caleb, Jayden, and Drake  all look very good early on. Although Jayden Daniels had some bad injuries in year 2.

Bo Nix has looked solid, even Penix and McCarthy have at least some potential to at least be backup caliber or eventual starters if they can stay healthy.

I don't think we've ever had a draft in NFL history where QBs went 1 2 3  in R1 and they were all massive hits.

Makes us look like absolute dumb fugs for trading up for Bryce in 2023. 

If we had Cliff Kingsbury, Ben Johnson or Josh McDaniels (like the three teams QBs you named), Bryce would look significantly better.  

The problem isn't Bryce, as limited as he is, the problem is our coaching, play calling and lack of drafting talent around him.

All this game is showing me is that we absolutely 100% can make a Super Bowl with Bryce Young, we just need a defense.

That is absolutely the biggest issue.

The last Patriots dynasty was jump started in a blizzard bowl where a fumble/not fumble/ forward pass played a major role in the outcome. 24 years later, its happening again.

Time is a lie, existence is an endless loop, and the Panthers will be in a Super Bowl against an emerging juggernaut next year. They may or may not steal all our signals.

Invest in a big ass snow machine, profit?

Shanked Pats punt has Broncos on the verge of FG range. I'd be tempted to fire Vrabel if the Pats lose this game without leaning on Maye running the ball.

Pretty rare that you're going to be in a playoff game where the score is 10-7 late in the fourth.

It's really not. 

Caleb Williams looked like an absolute bust until he got Ben Johnson who could maximize what he can do.

Drake Maye doubled his passing TD's and improved his passer rating by 30 points with McDaniels.

Jayden Daniels was an absolute stud BECAUSE of Kingsbury's play calling experience with that type of QB. 

Bryce Young is not physically capable of being Josh Allen.  So if that's what you expect, you're going to always be sad. But he is capable of being a good QB if you give him a staff that isn't a bunch of monkeys fuging footballs.  Dave Canales is a pussy and absolute gutless leader of men and play caller.

If you swapped Caleb Williams and Bryce Young, the Bears and Panthers record would've been identical.
