unclevlad Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 OK, since the first game's just about to kick...the Magic 8 Ball says..... Titans over Bengals Packers over Niners (sigh) would love to pick the Rams, but I just can't... let's go with Bills over Chiefs. Maybe this is an overreaction to how the Bills played on offense last week, but the Chiefs have also been very erratic at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Titans-Bengals: Doesn't matter. Whoever wins this game is going to get blown out by the winner of the Kansas City-Buffalo game next week. But I think I'm going to go with Cincinnati. Packers-49ers: I think San Francisco finds a way to win this game, much like they found a way to beat Dallas last week. Although let's be honest, the Packers are a much better team than the Cowboys. But Green Bay always finds a way to choke in the playoffs. Rams-Buccaneers: There are faster ways to lose money than by betting against Tom Brady, but not many. Much as I would love to see Von Miller's playoff run extended, I think the Bucs find a way. Chiefs-Bills: Josh Allen is going to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory. Just not this year. Going with the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Titans over Bengals, because I want the Bengals to win. Packers over 49ers, because I hate Kaaron Rodgers. Bucs over Rams, because I'm tired of Brady. Chiefs over Bills, because the latter will experience a letdown after crushing the Pats last week.

unclevlad Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 If this goes to OT as it's looking to... This is a game where I'd prefer to kick off to start the OT. The defenses are largely controlling everything. Isolated big plays, yeah, but...I think I'd rather have the 2nd possession because at that point, my FG wins the game. EDIT: well, that just became rhetorical now... Clearly one of the stranger games I've seen in some time, with quite a few rather uncommon plays. More bootlegger turns than a Dukes of Hazzard episode.

Old Man Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well done Bungles! But I’m not sure relying on 50+ yard FGs is a recipe for sustained success in the postseason. Starlord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Three picks and playing not to lose with 2:40 left. EXTREMELY conservative play calling. Perhaps reasonable at the start, just due to field position, but they stayed super-conservative after getting the first down at the 35. Still need to get 30 yards, but they ran the ball and let the clock run. Overall, I think the Titans lost due to a) no confidence in Tannehill b) coaching. The discussion above; also, IMO, taking the penalty after the first TD to try for 2. I don't like that. I'd rather take it on the kickoff; there's more options. Hard to say if trying to bring Henry back helped or hurt. Ah well. It was a better game. Unusual...yeah. Choppy because the defenses were notably better than the offenses...Titans might've been a bit in disarray trying to bring Henry and Jones back, but who knows. Now it's time to throw another log on the fire in sympathy. 14 degrees at kickoff and it'll only get colder...??? Ewwww... Too bad I don't have a fireplace....

unclevlad Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 This has to be one of the wackiest 2 games, back to back, I've ever seen. I'll make the same point now, in advance. IF!!! this goes to OT, I think I'd rather kick first. No certainty at all it'll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nice play calling on that last possession. Fairly safe but still with good potential for production. That...I think it was a trap, to Samuel, on 3rd and 7...heck of an effort. Wonder if he strained a hammy, it looked like it. But man, that was a really ugly position, but they executed.

Cancer Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Huh. After the 49er meltdown at the end of the 1st half, I figured they were done and switched to the Spanish language station and watched Liga MX. Don't criticize me for that; it seems the best stuff happens when I'm not watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, both games Saturday were must see football, with the Cincinnati Bengals upsetting the top-seeded Tennessee Titans and the San Francisco 49ers knocking the Green Bay Packers into postseason protocols.
