REAL FOOTBALL Thread

My prediction I told my friends that it will be Eagles/Chiefs for the SUper Bowl for the story line of Mahomes setting the 3 peat vs. Reid's old team is holding true still.

Lamar is rattled

And they had success with a few rushes and then immediately took Henry out

I mean his receivers dropping gimmes and his OL letting free rushers through isn't doing much help for him. Josh is gonna win this game. I'm a Bills fan this post season anyway.
 
Goff played a strange game. On any play it wasn't a turnover, he was amazing. But then he played like **** on like 5 plays.

Defense was atrocious, but that was expected. but I'm most disappointed in the failure of the coaching.

- why keep blitzing and playing man. It's daniels' strength and it wasn't working

- why on 3rd and 1 on the 15 are we empty backfield, which led to goff fumble when we were on brink of going up 14-3. I think if we go up 14-3, the entire game flips and lions likely win

- down 3 in 4th qtr, 4th and 2 on the 5... 12 men on the field. CALL THE ****ING TIMEOUT. WTF Dan??

- down 10 with 12 minutes, gotta have it drive. Offense moving ball with ease to midfield. 1st and 10 and we call a Jamo downfield pass???? I'm all for trick plays but not when a mistake literally ends the season. Just no need

The lions have turned around their franchise thanks to amazing coaching, but coaches completely failed the team yesterday (in addition to goff turnovers and horrific defense execution). Unlike the 49ers exit last year, I thought the coaching was great but players failed to execute. This year was a different story
 
Boy Mark Andrews is trying real hard to be the dog of this game. It's ****ing crazy how the 2 times the Ravens have looked like they were getting into the driver seat, andrews has done something small or big that ****ed them. Either dropping a gimme pass or that drive killing fumble.
 
Bills ravens delivered, but Lamar aside from 2 mistakes ****ing lit it up and the Bills had no answer when his team didn't let him down. Allen just keeps on keeping on. A mid game from him but he did what he had to to win. Go Bills.
 
Lamar played well. I wouldn't say he balled out, but he played well enough to win, especially given the winter conditions.

But his fumble in the first half was a critical mistake. You simply can't be that careless with the ball. I know it was a bad snap and he was trying to make the best of it, but just go down and live to play another down. Holding the ball like a loaf of bread with defenders barreling down on you is a recipe for disaster and that's what happened. He made another crucial error shortly after that when it was 2nd goal from the 3. Instead of throwing the ball out of the back of the end zone, he takes a 5 yard sack, making it 3rd and Goal from the 8.

Also, while this isn't Lamar related, I don't get the reasoning of taking Henry out of the game so often. He's your best weapon and he averaged 5 yards a carry. In winter weather conditions, they should have been feeding Henry the rock like Philly did with Saquon. Those sort of conditions are actually perfect for a RB like Henry, who isn't overly reliant on cuts and making defenders miss.

I'm way old and the thing I've seen the past few years is players just trying to do too much on a play when they should just let it rest.

Turnovers have loomed large all playoffs. Add to that some boneheaded plays and play calls by the losing teams and the results haven't been surprising. The Lions defense has suffered a massive number of injuries, but if they take care of the ball (and Johnson realizes that not every play he calls has to result in a touchdown), they win that game. The turnovers deep into Washington territory were especially damaging.

He was 18/25 259 yards so 72 comp% and 10.4 Y/A. That's ****ing absurdly good. If you include his sacks he had 9.1 NY/A Add in 6 rushes for 39 yards.

His turnovers were bad, but he did enough to overcome his turnovers for the win. Especially because of where the fumble came from a position on the field they were in (he would have have been sacked out of field goal range. But I understand why. It was a **** snap. Hamlin was coming in untouched, it was a terrible play across the board including Lamar. His pick was also bad. But after those drives he really didn't screw up. And if Andrews didn't fumble that was a scoring drive and they force buffalo to march down the field and win the game.

He had a couple turnovers but was really good. Looked like the best player on the field.
 
Eagles are too good for the rest of the NFC. Eagles/Lions would have been a fun game, but the Commanders don't hvae the defense to contain the Eagles.

But I mean 36 rushes for 229 yards and 7 TDs. The fact the Lions didn't realize that they could have done the same thing is a bit of a slight on Ben JOhnson and Dan Campbell.
