Fool's Ball Divisional Round!!!!

Your home for all things Fool's Ball!

In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

[Fish Speaker]

Looks like Bengals vs. Forty-Niners for the third time in the Super Bowl! The third time’s the charm. Go Bengals!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Yeah, they sucked. The game sucked. Special Teams sucked. We snatched DEFEAT from the jaws of VICTORY!

P.S. It ALL sucked! @#$%^&*!!

[Rummyfan]

Titans... OUT! Don't throw three INTs Ryan Tannenhill!

Packers..... OUT! You have to score more than ten points!

And in my knockout league... everyone lost so we are done for the season.

Looking forward to Chiefs - Bills.

[Rummyfan]

Burrow was sacked nine times and the Bengals still won the game. Thanks mainly to Tannenhill’s miscues. And a money kicker!

[Rummyfan]

Two playoff wins for the Bengals in one postseason... that has not happened since.... I don’t know when! On to the AFC Championship.

[Rummyfan]

How ‘bout that Gator kicker!

He was clutch!

[Rummyfan]

By the hair of their chinny chin chin.

A win is a win. They got an opportunity at the end of the game and took advantage of it. That is the mark of a winning team.

[Rummyfan]

LOL!

[Rummyfan]

Really, 69 yards in 5 minutes and then (discounting a lucky and wasted 75 yard play) 150 more for the rest of the game? More passing yards to the back than the rest of the receivers? Did they even attempt a 20 yard completion?

Ugh. The bottom line is the vaunted Packers O only managed ten points. You aren't going to win many games that way.

[Rummyfan]

So much for the First Round Bye, both #1 seeds are out!

I can't say I'm too surprised. I thought all four games this weekend were toss-ups. And both yesterday's games came down to the last play and long FGs. And both low scoring. We'll see what today brings. Would love to see the Bills knock off KC. I would not be too interested in a Rams - Niners Round 3 if that works out for next week.

Looks like Bengals vs. Forty-Niners for the third time in the Super Bowl! The third time’s the charm. Go Bengals!

If so, at least the Bengals won't have to worry about Joe Montana.

1989 they beat the Seahawks(who used to be in AFC), then beat the Bills to get to the Super Bowl which they lost to 49er’s 20 - 16.

Clutch and confidant.

His teammate Joe Burrow said “Money Mac” was confident before stepping on the field.

“That guy’s unbelievable,” Burrow said after the game. “As he was going out to kick, he gave a little warm-up swing and he said ‘Ah looks like we’re going to the AFC Championship.’”

Apparently, GB had only 10 players on field for Gould’s winning FG

[cowboyusa]

If the Rams and Bills win, than we party like it’s 1989.

[cowboyusa]

1988

[cowboyusa]

No, that’s wrong, but it would be 1989 and 1990.

Well, I just saw the end of the Niners’ game and congratulate those who were rooting for the Niners - way to not drop the ball.

So the Niners offense are NOT running the ball enough and how Garoppolo can’t get much going in the pass offense. I blame the coaching staff for not training Garoppolo better (coaching staffs seem like they don’t coach and train QB’s that much anymore) and lousy play calls.

Meanwhile the Niners’ defense OWN GB.

So watching this heroic defense, I started yelling at the TV (I do that a lot), “Defense, you’re the one’s to score a touchdown. You deserve it and the offense plan is too stupid to do it..”

Well, the defense (on special teams) did it!!!

Anyway, what a great game if you were a Niners’ fan.

[dfwgator]

Nice though to have a playmaker like Deebo.

[Jim W N]

I'm stoked about the Niners even though I picked the Packers. See post #138 for my frolic.
