Divisional Playoffs thread

[Steel Maniac]

Every team that wins a Super Bowl usually has one low-scoring game in their run. They also have high-scoring games. You have to be able to win in a variety of ways in this league to reach the ultimate goal.

The Steelers would need to win 4 games by holding the opponents under 17 points, and the opponents would all have to be non-playoff teams.

Therein lies the rub.

Exactly….. feltdizz cherry picking games to prove wrong scenarios again. Sad.

Again a QB in his 8th start vs the best front 7 in the NFL, so I'm not sure what more needs to be seen. He hit a number of tight window throws on the money, and according to PFF, zero turnover worthy plays with the ball out in less than 3 seconds average time.

Some analysts had him ranked to go in the 2nd round of the draft. Why he slipped isn't clear although some said he 'lacked ideal height'. His profile noted 'split second decisionmaking', and it shows.

I think it's going to be a Niners-Bengals SB. This time I think the Bengals actually win, once again QB position burns the Niners. The Niners-Eagles game is going to be a real slugfest, Eagles could definitely win it but I don't trust Hurts at all tbh, at the same time the Niners have a rookie QB who has looked shaky at times and is being insulated by probably the best offensive system in the NFL currently. So who knows. I just want the Niners not to win a SB and for the Chiefs to lose as well, that is all.

No.. therein lies the lie, lol.

We have no idea how single elimination games will unfold.

Everyone was on the Bills wagon talking about all the points they score and how you can only win scoring a ton of points.

actually a bit more satisfying than I expected seeing Josh Allen and his bandwagon fans get dragged at home. Diggs had a lot to say to Allen and the OC/QB coach at the end of the game.

And you're hypothesis seems to be if Cincy can hold them to 10, so can the mighty Steeler D.

And again, you fail to realize that Joe Burrow driving his team up and down scoring points was the main reason why Josh and the Bills went one dimensional.

Purdy made some nice throws but mostly to open guys, floated a couple and had at least two INTs dropped. I think his run ends with a resounding thud in Philly

Purdy's YAC/att was almost 5 yds this season. KP's less than 3. That is a huge gap. When a team has studs like CMC, Deebo, Kittle, as well as a seasoned OC it can look unbeatable. They remind me of some of the good Steeler teams with their strong defense and talented offense.

Final score 19-12.

SO MANY POINTS!!!!

Dak is yet another QB not worth that cap hit, meanwhile Purdy made some big time throws in very tight windows in only his 8th ever start. The kid has game.

Shanny going to his 3rd NFCC in the last 4 years.

IMO San Fan could have scored more points if the needed to. They won by seven didn't they? Dak isn't a playoff type of QB. The loss is on him and his cap busting salary. He is a franchise sinker. Defensively Dallas played well enough, and the Dallas OL gave him plenty of time ( he was only sacked once ) to pass to a good collection of skill players.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Two bad INTs for Dak. Pollard looks done. Dallas is in trouble.

He is not a playoff QB. Beating a losing team improves his record but he is 2-4 in the playoffs. IMO Dallas lost because of his play.

Cowboy fans are so obnoxious ; I like seeing them put down for the season. I don’t want them or the 49ers tying us in super bowls victories.

But Jerry Jones I don’t like; don’t want his plastic face to get another superbowl because of how he did Jimmy Johnson.

[NJ-STEELER]

Dak ain't the guy, Dallas needs to cut bait. That was a brutal series there.

i counted 2-3 times he had a receiver beating the SF corner deep. threw the ball short each time.
CD caught one of them and got a flag on the play to boot, but has an easy TD if dak leads him with the ball

[NJ-STEELER]

we're in trouble

cincy, down 3 starting OL, goes into buffalo and handles them fairly easily.
reminded me of cleveland playoff game where they were missing 3 starters on the OL and dismantling mikey's great defense.lol

our line started the same line up every week and got up to a mediocre level. what happens when they start to lose amn game to injury?
