Kind of a double edged sword though…as the only reason a lot of those were one score games was because of an insanely impressive effort by josh. If he wasn’t playing close to mvp levels a lot of those one score games become blowout losses.

i also have a car with performance tires (a much much cheaper car of course lol) and i totally wouldve gone for it in that little amount of snow too. so im gonna defend the guy before the 'why is he driving that' posts start coming in 😄

hmm i must be forgetting a year? 98 and 99 we lost in the wild card round both on the road...then we lost in 2017 in jacksonville....then 2019 in houston both wild card round. and last year we had some home playoff games in front of like 10% capacity. ohhh jaguars in 96...i was pretty close haha making '95 last time we won a home playoff game at full capacity if my calculations are correct

I think it’s luck more than anything…looking at the other teams a majority of them are .500 in close games pretty independently of whether they are a good or bad team. It’s also not like we are beating only bad teams by two+ scores and losing close games to all the good teams…we dismantled the chiefs and comfortably beat the pats

Playing linebacker in this scheme would be super tough for anyone. I don’t think the fans are as understanding of that as the coaching staff is.

I think he’s about the same in that regard when the situation calls for it…if he can pick up a crucial first down he is flying through the air lol so sad he came up inches short on that leap against the titans that would’ve been epic

Was that the last time we had a home playoff game with a full crowd?

I was out following the gamecast on the ESPN app and expected him to be much worse than he was when I actually got around to watching the game. Quite a few drops and a good amount of bad luck. Pretty questionable officiating on the second pick too. Reminded me of the first pats game last season where the run game was humming so he didn’t get many passing attempts to make up for some tough breaks.

I think he’s saying people are electing to go to a potential home playoff game instead. I was originally going to drive up for the jets game and gambled on the playoff game when we beat the pats

We have no chance against a team that can run the football because of our sloppy game against Indy…or something

Edmunds is about to hit his 5th year option we haven’t re-signed him yet. Plus I’m sure happy McDermott hung on to harrison Phillips for too long 😂

Still though…no team just steamrolls their way to the superbowl and wins it. You want the easiest path possible there’s no bonuses for style points lol

Man that would really rewrite the book on staffords whole career. Seems like people see him as a guy that piles up tons of stats but can’t win big games. Cardinals getting their first superbowl win before us? No thank you lol

Not that it was an easy play but diggs had a shot at essentially the game winner in that first pats matchup on a perfectly thrown ball and it hit him right in the arm…haven’t seen too many wow plays out of the wrs this year and you’re rarely gonna get someone comically open on a deep ball so it’s usually gonna be a 50/50 situation. It seems like only Davis is making the contested catches.

Yea pretty sure the issue is gonna be in the pile when dudes are trying to rip his foot off lol a guy with one leg could’ve done that warmup 😂

Idk why people are more scared of the colts than the titans when the titans swept the colts lol

Phil rivers was absolutely masterful in reading our defense’s coverages that game…credit to josh Allen for carrying us to a huge win…and gabe Davis as well. Wentz might be ahead of what rivers was physical talent wise but he is nowhere close in diagnosing a defense. also…colts had 3 wins by the time they hit 5 losses. Their schedule was front loaded with a lot of good teams and they lost a lot of those games…no surprise there that’s what happens with mediocre teams. A lot of times this whole ‘a team got hot’ narrative is exaggerated wildly by scheduling. that’s kind of why our season has been so interesting…we have always shown up against great teams and the few stinkers we have had have been against bad/decent teams.

Assuming edmunds plays I think we will be a lot more successful at slowing the colts down. Despite looking clueless at times he is pretty stout against the run when compared to Milano and aj Klein had a really rough game filling in for him at mlb in that colts game. We also played nickel pretty much the whole game…gotta think that’s due to the edmunds injury too. I don’t think so…titans with a healthy-ish Derrick Henry would be worse. Also people that think our pass rush has underperformed which seems to be the majority around these parts should not feel great about a road game with the chiefs. Colts stomped us in the first matchup no doubt…but they are a bit of a poor man’s titans. And the patriots are a bit of a poor man’s colts lol

I think we are just awful offensive execution in the first pats game away from thinking we have a great home field advantage lol I can see why people feel that way though. I don’t think tannehill/wentz/Mac jones really have the arm strength to do anything in a bad weather game so assuming we’re not missing some front 7 guys like we were in the colts game we could sit in something that isn’t nickel all game long against those teams while josh will still have success through the air. I think that first pats game goes differently if AJ Klein doesn’t hit the Covid list at the last possible second…we were missing edmunds against the colts also. Star was missing as well but not sure that counts because he’s been missing a lot 🤣

He drew a holding call for the first time in his career this season that’s pretty big news 😂

I think that thread got closed for not having a title lol. He looks like he’s running about 75% with zero cuts or contact…don’t think we can tell much from that. Also it’s really more about how he feels after. If he’s not 100% and he’s playing he’s really not helping the team much

I feel like case keenum improves the browns…I don’t mean too much disrespect towards baker because he was playing hurt pretty much all year but a little bit of disrespect was intended 😂

Bengals look like they’re likely gonna lose…no burrow or Mixon and there’s a pretty big chunk of guys on the Covid list. I doubt the chiefs are gonna roll over and just give us the two seed though so we’d need a pretty big upset from the broncos

Long shot scenario I would love is pats lose to Miami and the raiders win and bengals win…NE would have to go to KC and we end up with a home game against the raiders. Cincy would likely knock off the colts for us then we’d get a hopefully Derrick Henry-less titans in round 2 after beating the raiders and kc would get a rematch with Cincy

Very much looking like it won’t be New England based on what’s going on with the bengals….burrow not playing and a bunch of guys on the Covid list. And a healthy case keenum starting for the browns is gonna be more effective than injury riddled baker has been. My money is on us seeing the colts or raiders because we’re gonna jump up to the 3 seed. A lot riding on that chargers raiders game for everyone. If the bengals lose the pats will most likely see them in the playoffs as they’re pretty much locked in to the 5 seed and playing whoever the 4 seed ends up being…unless we blow it against the jets but at that point who cares who we play in the playoffs 😂
