Josh Allen and Mahomes about to go at it like this for the next decade. Good poo.

I miss the uncontrollable anxiety that came along with the Panthers being in the playoffs. The week of build up, the tension of every third and fourth down play. The joy of destroying the Cardinals. I hope we get back to that point again.

I think these are the two best teams in the AFC, but love seeing Cincy make it this far.

It sucks knowing that with we could have been. Oh well, go Carolina North.

That's the plan. I could also see something really dumb happening, like trying to have Butker hit from 60 and he comes up short.

Divisional round has been a bad, bad time for home teams. Both 1 seeds and a 2 seed so far have all lost on a last second field goal. Crazy week.

Fight like hell, get no less than like 6 lucky breaks, and end up losing because your coaches decide to put a safety on an island against Kupp.

This is from a few years ago, so not sure if it is different now https://www.covers.com/forum/nfl-betting-21/how-many-times-has-an-nfl-team-beat-the-same-team-twice-in-one-season-on-the-road-103410001 "Since 1990, there have been sixteen times when a team was swept in the regular season and then met that opponent a third time in the playoffs. The team that swept the regular season went 11-5 (8-7-1 ATS) in the postseason"

Haven't been in the same division as the 49ers for like decades, but I still hate them from the early years.

I think Smitty had him as the best WR in the draft that year too.

I would say it was just an unbelievably stupid call for the Bucs D, but if they overplay Kupp, then OBJ is the one making a similar play.

After all that, the Bucs lost because they didn't quadruple team the best WR in the league. Wow.

Anyone for a blocked kick lol

I'll be damned. Stafford did it.

If the Rams aren't careful, they are going to lose in regulation. Take a knee, play for OT. I'm terrified if they throw a single pass here it's getting pick six'd

Thats's going to be a first down after replay

Turnovers, coming up short on a field goal that wasn't all that long. Letting a WR get deep on you. Everything.

There are some games that you watch and think, naw, if this was a movie script you would be laughed out of the pitch meeting. I can't believe what we are seeing here. It's not scripted, it's too unrealistic to be scripted.

No matter what, the NFC Championship game is going to have an amazing storyline. Bucs- Jimmy G versus Brady Rams- Versus the team that they let make the playoffs by not finishing the job in the last week of the season.

You know what, I'm okay with that too lol. These two teams missing on a QB and sucking for a while is long overdue.

They should absolutely have a package or two for him. I think they are trying to protect him because they know the team is his for next year and the 10 following and he's super raw right now.

The 7 year part is a running joke from the Jay Z quote a few weeks ago. And if Matt is right and the team figures it out in year 3, then awesome.

There were some quotes from Rhule before the year where he goes over watching film and Phil Snow saying that Sam looked like Matt Stafford. Believe it was on the Rich Eisen show. Snow definitely liked Sam and I think Rhule trusts Snow more than any other person on the planet.

Ok, purely hypothetical here. Before last season, Panthers hire another coach. You think we roll in to last season with Teddy as QB, and this year with Sam? I don't. I think Rhule has played a significant role in putting together the roster. I think if it was mostly Marty Hurney making the decisions, he would have sold the farm for Herbert last year.

Do you think Matt Rhule is capable of finding that franchise QB? Do you think Matt would have taken a chance on Delhomme or Cam? I think its more likely that he would have traded picks for like Ryan Leaf or drafted Blake Bortles.
