Speaking of getting robbed. It still hurts.

Drew Pearson push-off still hurts (even knowing it was probably the right no-call) . . .

I’m pulling for the Browns as a dark horse SB contender.

 

[Elkmagnet]

come on Niners, lets go! I don't want to head to Dallas. If so, @mtmuley gets his moment to laugh at us when we get our ass kicked down there

This just in.
49ers play Sam Darn old to screw packers fans.
"We just like to see things burn"
Said coach Shanahan after the game.

It's the playoffs most of the teams are good and weird shit happens. If your are confident about a matchup you may be about to get got.

Can you imagine the Browns vs the Lions in the Super Bowl?

What would they call it? The turd bowl?

 

[Elkmagnet]

Lions looking legit. All NFC teams apart from the 49ers, would definitely blink to have to face them right now. My prediction for NFC conference finals.

I don't know if the lions are the same without LaPorta

 

[seeth07]

I stand corrected: The Bucs and the Texans would technically be the turd bowl

Scoreboard...

Aiden Hutchison and Micah Parsons get no called impeded more than not...chitty calls at critical junctures happen but that is exactly the emotional investment the league wants...they love the after contest jabber.

Top tier pass rushers don't get holding calls. They are swallowing the whistle to protect QBs. I'm sure the decision was made at the top.

Sure they do...if they play for Andy Reid.

But not against him.
If I remember right this was 4th down and like15yards to go in Superbowl 54.

They get called when Reid's rushers are held...we're saying the same thing

10-4 I was poorly wording my agreement.

Some steep lines for these two playoff games, kinda shocked that both are favored by more than a td. Darn computer models ruining the dreams of Steelers and Packers fans alike.

This would surely be an interesting one. Would actually be kind of cool to see.

Not what I said. I said it wouldn't shock me. Certainly Dallas' record this year at home is impressive but the Detroit game demonstrated that it wouldn't be impossible. If I were wagering I would take Dallas but be prepared to part with my money.

And Seattle challenged the Boys in Dallas as well

Edit to add: IIRC Dallas D had only one sack and were looking frustrated in the high scoring game. Neither team ever punted and DAL didnt win by 20+ pts at home like their average.

So lets hope the Packers can figure the same thing out against Dallas D.

The Cowboys are undefeated at home this year. They should stay that way after this week.
