Even the week Titans
Happy to see another Harbaugh out of the way for a few months.
Why did the Chargers even bother to show up? Uninspired, lame play. Gameplan was bad and Herbert was horrible. No confidence, no leadership. No adjustments by coaching staff. Harbaugh looked like he was prepared for a preseason game.
100% agree
Herbert should sue for reckless endangerment, they ask him to go out there without any protection, I don’t know how they made the playoffs because any time I’ve seen them all year, there’s Herbert running for his life.
“...was also surprised that the Niners won...”
Me too as that win deprives me of seeing the Seahawks destroy the Iggles in the NFCC game.
It also would keep the Pats from sucking air a Mile High.
Patriots just throttled the Chargers. And now the Patriots will host the Bills. We have two three-time meetings games ... Bills - Patriots and Niners - Seahawks.
LOL! The Jets D is nothing to write home about either.
I would rate the Niners - Seahawks game as a toss-up.
You can't count Josh Allen out. He just puts the Bills on his back and goes.
I think the Rams are the deepest most talented team remaining. Now, whether or not they win is another matter. Five or six weeks ago they looked unbeatable but they stumbled down the stretch (how did they lose that game against the Seahawks?!). They survived Saturday and now it's on to Chicago. If the Bears fall behind 21 - 3 again, there will be no comeback.
Oops! The Bills play the Broncos! I’ll take the Bills in that one.
I never saw Josh Allen beat up that way before. That guy can take a pounding. There were a couple times i thought he got crushed. I’m rooting for him for sure, and of course he deserves the MVP and the Ring, but most importantly he deserves to stay healthy.
Go Patriots and although not a high scoring game it was a pretty brutal defensive game and Mayes had some good runs.
The Charger pass blocking just did not show up. Hebert was beat up all night.
I felt sorry for Herbert, he was trying so hard to win, seemingly all on his own at the end. Lots of QBs getting smashed up yesterday. I hope Aaron eats his Wheaties this morning.
Not at all surprised at the ‘9ers win, I’m an Eagles fan and they just didn’t have it this year. Locker room troubles caused by egos (always open! But can’t catch!) should have been dealt with right away.
My guess is ‘9ers-Broncos in the Super Bowl - could go either way but leaning SF (Kittle injury may impact this tho)
I don’t understand why Devonta Smith wasn’t the #1 receiver, considering he and Hurts hooked up plenty when they were together at Bama.
I’m going with Bills-Rams.
The highlights were interesting. Very much a defensive struggle, too much QB-as-running-back risk taking, one TD in the whole mess. Despite the wider margin in final score, it was just like the earlier two games.
Vrabel will have to get his team righted before they play TBD. Hey, in what city does the TBD play anyway? 😁
