There's a lot of momentum headed in the direction of "Redwolves"

We'll give you #33 and Andy Dalton for #23.

It is Joe Burrow day.

I hope Tom isn't kissing his children on the mouth down there. He's in the at-risk population.

I think they’re both well over the hill.

My interest in the entire league is lessened at the moment. I think there's a very real chance there won't even be a 2020 NFL season. Fans in the stands are almost definitely out.

Agreeable result.

Sorry [mention]MacDougall[/mention]. Your team is loaded and could get back in the near future.

SF is a nicely run-driven offense and defensive powerhouse in a league that is largely dominated by absurd passing numbers (Jameis Winston threw for 5,000 yards FFS). I appreciate that they show the old school winning formula still has a place in the league.

And I hope they lose.

I loathe "story lines" in sports, so that makes this a pretty splendid matchup. I hate SF, so I'd prefer they not participate. I'll take it though.

Go Chiefs. The 49ers are easily my least-favorite NFC team.

I do think SF is better put-together. If Mahomes plays well though it equalizes everything else.

I have never seen the divisional round.

I’ve never seen the Wild Card round.

Are we tanking for Tua?

Or Herbert?

Or Burrow?

Or Chase Young?

Or Akili Smith?

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

Though I think they may have a better chance against the Bengals. I guess we'll see how Dalton's replacement does before I get my hopes up.

Please beat the Bengals so they can land the first pick.

Turned it on to see Darnold continue to pitch the self-shutout

I'm okay with an 0-3 start if they can get Zac Taylor his first win against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

This fucking guy.

I have never seen the divisional round.

Whole stadium gives Andy Dalton a hero’s welcome for his last game last season and his charitable response to Bills fans’ charity. He smiles and looks grateful, then proceeds to dad dick us pretty much every chance he gets, ripping up our swiss cheese O-line and making Josh Allen’s first start completely inert. Feels great.

The Bills made some very confusing offseason moves. They seemed to downgrade on purpose at the two most important offensive positions (QB and LT). And, oddly, both of those positions saw key swaps between our teams, considering Cordy Glenn and AJ McCarron.

The life of a Patriots fan. Few others can take a Super Bowl loss in stride.

I'm okay with either result now. The Patriots again is extremely boring, but if they take a 6th Lombardi then they match the Steelers and diminish their insufferable boasting. The Eagles finally getting one would be a lot of fun.

It was a very good game. I don't think it'd be in my top five though. With a big comeback like this comes a big collapse, and it's often painful to watch a team just piss away a big lead. The Falcons made some very strange decisions to facilitate it and that kind of thing takes away from the excitement for me. It's just bizarre.

I've never seen a Cincinnati team advance in the playoffs.

I'm okay with any Super Bowl champion that isn't the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I just feel terrible for Falcons fans. Some of them have really been waiting their entire lives for an opportunity like this, and I know they could just taste it tonight. I can just imagine how I would feel in their shoes being a fan of another team that hasn't ever won it all.

Enjoy it though, Sloonbeard and timmer.

Sports are a merciless thing.

The life of a Patriots fan. So accustomed to being in the Super Bowl that an abysmal first half has you joking around.

This is a lot of fun.

I don't think a team can lose Tom Brady without missing a beat, but yeah I do expect New England to remain a strong team after he's gone (until Belichick retires). It might mean the difference between going to the AFC Championship game every year and merely being in playoff contention every year though.

I've picked against the Falcons in both of their games so far this postseason. My brain is telling me to pick against them again.

I don't really feel any hatred toward the Patriots. I don't really care about the Patriots. I will be rooting for Atlanta though, because it warms my hear to see downtrodden franchises pull out of the shitter and get a title. The last examples were New Orleans after the 2009 season and Seattle after 2013.

Things like that give a poor Bengals fan hope.

My pick is that it'll be Patriots/Packers. Three of the four teams are a giant snoozefest though and the only one I will be rooting for is Atlanta.

Screw the Steelers.

I think Carolina could find its way back into contention just by virtue of their division. The only serious competitor right now is Atlanta, and they're not going to be scoring 40 points every week.

It's fun because it's caused some coaches to call for kickers to use diagonal trajectories to avoid touchbacks.
