Pariah Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 The NFC is basically an old men's game this week, with Brady, Brees, and Rodgers all leading their teams into the divisional round. Meanwhile, the Old Man of the AFC is Baker Mayfield at 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Rodgers is scheduled to be a guest host on Jeopardy. Presumably not this weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, i thought the Daniel Webster was for them in all likelihood having sold their souls for a youth formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I don't think we have to worry about that with Peyton or Romo. They're perfectly happy to make gazillions off the field. If Brady retires, do you think Gronk will follow? Seems pretty likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 So, are we envisioning Tom Brady as a kept man, sitting at home while his supermodel wife still works to earn the family's daily bread? Good gig if you can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The first half of the Buffalo/Baltimore game was ... less than impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Evidently there was only one impressive play. Nice to see the Bills advance, though I feel for Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 And with the Bills advancing, Cleveland can breathe a little easier should they get past KC. Not because Buffalo is a weaker team. No, as pointed out by my long suffering Cleveland sports fan hubby, it would have been a bigger kick in the nuts if they had beaten KC if only then to lose to Baltimore in the AFC finals. Cleveland/Buffalo, on the other hand, is Cinderella either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Honestly, though, I wouldn't mind seeing a Browns/Ravens AFC Championship game. I mean, as long as the Broncos are going to suck, we might as well have some interesting stuff going on in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the Bills advance, though I feel for Lamar. Pretty much. Wind was wreaking havoc. Ravens were proving the adage that it's hard to execute 12-15 play drives; quite a few good running plays, but then the Bills would create a negative play from which Lamar et al couldn't recover. And the red zone pick 6 put the game well out of reach, even if there was a ton of time left. But this is pretty cool: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-fans-donate-to-lamar-jacksons-favorite-charity-following-ravens-quarterbacks-in-game-concussion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 You have to feel bad for that Ravens kicker. You could quite clearly see the WTF look on his face after hitting the second upright. I remember a time when one of the Broncos kickers, Rich Karlis I think, hit the upright in successive games. He took all kinds of crap for it. One of the local sports anchors went out to do a story with him. He bet Karlis $100 that he couldn't hit the upright if he were trying to, and gave him 10 attempts to prove it. Karlis nailed the upright squarely on the third attempt and made a big deal of collecting his hundred dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Very interesting thoughts at halftime, based on the potential game-changer turnover when the Browns' receiver got hit at the 1, and the ball slid out the side of the end zone. --Esiason: the DB led with his helmet, into the receiver's shoulder...but leading with the helmet is a flag. But *that aspect* was not reviewable. I hate that. Whether or not the hit should be legal is a separate point, but it should be reviewable. Nothing new here, tho; the NFL's replay rules have been abysmal from the start. --Cowher: you have to move the ball to the 20, yes, because a scrimmage play can't start in the end zone. BUT, Cleveland should've kept the ball. The Chiefs did nothing to earn the ball, and it would effectlvely amount to a 19 yard penalty...quite significant.
