Wild Card Weekend recap

Saturday:

[49ers 41, Seahawks 23]

The 49ers were actually pushed for a half by the plucky Seahawks, but in the 2nd half they pulled away easily. 

[Jaguars 31, Chargers 30]

The Vikings certainly didn't have the worst loss of the weekend. That would be the Chargers, who used four Trevor Lawrence interceptions to build a 27-0 lead...then blew it all. It wasn't exactly a stirring comeback, just very methodical. 

Sunday:

[Bills 34, Dolphins 31]

I only watched the first half of this game, during which the Bills were easily dispatching Miami. Then weirdness happened. Miami actually had a 2nd half lead, before the Bills got control back and avoided what would have been one of the biggest playoff upsets of all time. 

[Bengals 24, Ravens 17]

Another near huge upset. But then the Burrow Bullshit stepped in and got that fumble return TD. 

Monday:

[Cowboys 31, Buccaneers 14]

Tampa did not deserve to be in the playoffs. But at least it gave us the chance to see Brady take an ugly blowout loss. Even the Dallas kicker missing 4 PATs barely made a ripple. I don't believe for one second that Brady will retire for good now. He will milk it all offseason just like Rodgers will.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
