NFL Playoffs

Check up on the performance history of said Brandon McManus at Denver Broncos before he was summarily released. Good luck
Puca Nacua, fifth round selection by the LA Rams in 2023, is easily the best and toughest WR in the NFL.
Zone, man to man, double teams. None matters. He still gets open and makes catches.
Very impressive
There is nothing I despise more than Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' stupid painted face. Except for his inconsistent style of quarterback
The whole year was slow, uninspiring. Never changed all the way till dooms day yesterday.
San Francisco QB Brock Purdy, selected as Mr. Irrelevant, demonstrated against the Eagles how the position should be played
Herbert got hit 21 times and sacked 7 times...Can't win in this league like that.
I'm guessing the Bills are fairly popular in the GTA.
Since the Chiefs are done and the Bills have lost to them four of the last five years, this might be the year the Bills and Josh Allen breakthrough.
Basically, up until the 4th quarter, the Chargers depleted offensive line provided time for the Chargers passing game to succeed.
This is what I noticed, pre-4th quarter NE d-line tee-off time:
1) Hebert had time to scan the field, pick a target and throw
2) The Charger receivers however were well covered, some would say, blanketed like the world has never seen before, by the Patriot defenders.
3) The Charger receivers could not get much separation, if any at all, from their NE defenders.
4) Basically, there were not many opportunities for Herbert to successfully complete passes, because the Charger receivers just were not providing a viable target for successful completions.
5) Many times, when the receivers were blanketed AND Herbert had time, Herbert did not take the opportunity to run or scramble when opportunity presented itself. Instead he either chose to attempt incompletable passes and/or eff around in the pocket till he got hit or sacked. He just didn't take the initiative as he has in other games to cut and run. So I believe something was physically wrong with him.
6) I kept yelling "run for fuck sakes" when he hung, darted in and out and around the pocket looking for an open receiver who just never materialized throughout the whole fucken game. But no, he just threw with no chance in hell of a completion or fucked around too long and gained shit for yards when he ran or worse was sacked even though the pass protection was fucken fine.
Btw - Herbert was 6 sacked times, the majority of which came in the latter stages of the game - ie Charger desperation timre/NE d-line tee-off time and hit while in the pocket 12 times. There really was no collapsing of the pocket until the latter part of the game.
The O-line did their job. The D did their job. The QB and the receivers did not.

In the same vein when I predicted the following 2 players would immediately be told "to get the fuck off of this team" and sent packing:
1) Lee Evans, WR of the Ravens, lackadaisically allowed the game winning touchdown catch to be stripped from his hands in the end zone with just 30 seconds remaining the game during the Jan. 22nd, 2012 AFC championship game as the NE Patriots. Had he not, the Ravens would have played the Giants in the following game the 2011 season's, 2012 SB.

2) Dee Ford, DE of the Chiefs, unbelievably and unfathomably lined up offside on the last chance 4th down Tom Brady pass that was incomplete and gave the Patriot another chance to win the game, which they did during the Jan 21, 2019 AFC Championship game. Had he not, the Chiefs would have played the Rams in the 2018 season's, 2019 SB.

Mark my words, A.J. Brown of the Eagles will be told:
"Get the fuck off of this team!" and be sent packing.
MY fucken God, it was like watching Terrel Owns 2.0 out there:
Frickin, all alligator armed and tip-toe burglar throughout the game. Afraid that if he caught the ball he would get hit so he alligator armed his attempts to catch the ball repeatedly and tip-toed all over the field hoping the 49'ers defenders didn't detect him.
Terrel Owens and AJ Brown respond likewise on why they alligator armed sure catches and tip-toed during plays where they would be hit hard:
"For who, for what?"

30-6..ugh
Time to re-tool the team
Blow it up completely
Start a 5 year rebuilding plan
This present team is a washout!

Houston's D didn't give shit to Pitt. Only chance Pitt had was to go with Rogers since Houston has the league best rush defense, but their D line was on point and pressuring Rogers all night. Houston is lucky they weren't facing Baltimore, Lamar would of been a nightmare for them
5 out of 6, not too shabby.
Here's round two:
Bills over Broncos
Pats over Texans
Seahawks over 49ers
Rams over Bears.

Sun Jan 18: New England Patriots vs Houston Texans
NFC

You are absolutely right. They are always going for band aids. Justin Fields, then Aaron Rodgers.
Someone delusional thought they were going to the SB with the immobile Aaron Rodgers.
If the 49ers selected Brock Purdy with the last pick of a draft and turned him into an elite QB, why cant they?
It's like he does enough to win a division and he's happy
That was 1 of the worst performances by a steelers QB ..since Bubby Brister!!
After Big Ben won his 2nd Superbowl..the scouts should have started looking for his heir apparent..but they rode that horse until the end and haven't had ANYONE step up since!
You have to match the rest of the offense with the QB..!
Round 2 predictions
Broncos over Bills
Texans over Patriots
Bears over Rams
Seahawks over Niners
Broncos over Bills
Texans over Patriots
Bears over Rams
Seahawks over Niners
He'll sit out 2026 and maybe 2027..cus the Steelers will want compensation if he signs with someone before '27
Should be an interesting next few months
I could see this being a lot like the rivers situation where if a superteam is underperforming he'll swoop in and save their season (looking at you: bills). I doubt he'll sit out both seasons as there is a dearth of good coaching candidates right now so he'd be able to pick and choose where. Hell, there's quite a few teams with coaches already in place who'd easily fire them to have him.
