Playoffs baby! 

The most interesting games to me are the rubber match between the Pats and Bills, then Eagles/Bucs which is my pick for an upset, and Cardinals/Rams which I'm very happy has been moved from that early Saturday slot to Monday night (even if we have to endure the ESPN announce team)

The Eagles beat one team with a winning record all season. They’re not beating Brady this postseason. Not going to happen.

Most exciting games to me are Cincy/Vegas Bc they’re two organizations dying for a playoff win. The other one is Dallas/SF because they’re two of the biggest franchises in the NFL and they both got some studs on their rosters I’m excited to watch.

Bengals/Raiders and Pats/Bills game excited 

‘’And of course the Niners/Cowboys game excited which btw @admin the legendary Hugo for the people dunno last year the day before the super bowl Hugo a friend of my was a guest on my podcast and he predict the Bucs to blowout the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl which he called it.  

He is a Cowboys fan we make a bet for lunch and Starbucks which we double the bet so if Niners lose go ahead and file a missing person 😂

My heart can't take facing the Pats in the playoffs. I'm confident Buffalo can win, but two decades of AFC East ass rape has scarred me.

I'm getting sooooo fucked up on Saturday either way.

I can't believe I'm picking the Bengals to win a playoff game.

Yes

Sorry RagnarokMike and 🤯 but Big Ben has already given up LOL! 


Here are some quotes from Big Ben's recent interview about this upcoming playoff game.


"I would assume, as a group, you understand that we probably aren't supposed to be here. We probably are not a very good football team. Out of 14 teams I think are in, we're probably number 14," he said. "... We're probably 20-point underdogs, and we're going to the No. 1 seed, the No. 1 team. I know they're not the No. 1 seed, obviously, but they're the No. 1 team that has won the AFC the last two years, arguably the best team in football."



"We don't have a chance. So, let's just go in and play and have fun." LMAO!



"I wanted to go win for Jerome because you know what he meant," Roethlisberger said. "Maybe [current Steelers teammates] feel the same way. I don't know. It's not like Jerome ever came to me and said, 'Guys, let's go win it for me.' He didn't have to say that. We wanted to win it for him anyway.

I don't want to take anything away from this team, but that was a pretty good football team," he said. "We had Hall of Famers on it and stuff. Not that we don't have some really good football players here. We have a long way to go to compare ourselves to that team, in my opinion.



... These guys were, what, middle school or elementary school when that was going on. ... I think that team was a really good football team. And we're not as good of a football team as we were then. But, you know, anything can happen."

Ben never has been a good leader. The line anything can happen makes it seem like he knew he was keeping too real and tried to walk it back because he knows he sounds like a bitch. Fans can say that shit but as a player, you lie. Truth is irrelevant. Ben, if you don't believe the Steelers should win, why should I? he's already given up.

That's an understatement, Ben has always been SHIT as a leader, the champion Steelers teams had other players that picked up that slack. 

Even if KC smashes Pit, there's no need to say anything.

People like to make fun of underdog teams bigging up their chances, and then one time a guy admits they probably won't win they freak out.

Pittsburgh fluked their way into the playoffs, by keeping that against all odds vibe going they put all the pressure on KC. Internally they absolutely won't be saying they have no chance.

After actually watching Ben's conference...sounded like he was taking the piss, not giving a hopeless monologue.

Rodgers doubled Brady’s All Pro votes so he’s essentially won the MVP. RIP Philadelphia

6 seeds are 1-7 against the 3 seeds in the last 4 playoffs....


This might make pduh happy, but get RT drunk faster.

I'm trying to be fairly optimistic. Which is Bengalspeak for "if I get too confident we're guaranteed to lose because Ohio is hell and we deserve nothing good"

Given I saw Mike White carve up this defense first hand, I need to see it to believe it. The Raiders lost to the shitty Giants this year and are traveling East and Carr is garbage in this cold weather but damn I gotta see the Bengals win a playoff game to truly believe it. I wasn't even 2 years old last time they won one! 

And WOW Ian Eagle & Charles Davis got the 2nd CBS game over Greg Gumbel and Trent Green! 

Yes because that one Jet's game determines what the Bengals are capable of - also the Raiders haven't won in almost 20 years and Carr also hasn't started a playoff game.

I love Blindy saying he has to see it to believe it because they lost to the Jets , even though mere weeks ago they went toe to toe with and beat Kansas City.

They got exposed in the intermediate and short passing, Jets didn't have a Darren Waller to exploit the mismatch so I want to see how great Bates is to get Waller(Hopefully healthy) 1 on 1. If Hendrickson gets phased off on double teams, the Bengals will be picked apart. 

Joe Judge got his terrible team competitive in Arrowhead in primetime this year, not a daunting task. 

The Chiefs lit the Bengals D up despite losing to them on a late FG, I don't buy the defense against the good teams. Burrow will have to keep the points up. Remains to be seen if Derek Carr can do anything away from home since he's 0-5 with a terrible passing percentage but we shall see. 

I remember hearing how almighty Carson Palmer, Chad OchoCinco were in the 09 playoffs and they lost to the Jets. And they blew like 2 playoff games vs the Steelers on absolute boneheaded disasters. I don't buy Zac Taylor as a HC, maybe he shakes the Marvin Lewis curse but we will see. 

They lit them up for the first half and scored three points the rest of the way , including Kelce. They also already beat the Raiders and held them to 13 points.

I get it though Blindy. The Jets are the real measuring stick in the NFL.

The Jets are the worst team in the NFL, especially when they aren't starting Zachary Wilson who the Titans saw first hand destroy their will. Should be a blowout but it wasn't. 

I am not as high on the Bengals are you are, I took the Raiders in a smudge in our pick em here but I don't have confidence of either side. Neither gets past the rested Titans IMHO if chalk stays and BUF beats NE & KC beats PIT. Especially if Henry is back. 

Oh I love these Bengals but they aren’t flawless by any means - they could certainly lose. I think they’ll win a 24-21 type game but could see them losing a 24-21 type game.

I just think using a weird game against a nothing teams from months ago as a barometer for them as a playoff team is ridiculous.

I don't mean to come off as a Bengals hater either, they swept Baltimore soundly and have that win over KC and (should) have downed the Packers if McPherson was on point that day(Although Crosby had his kicking woes too). They had some fluke wins like the Vikings one that the Viks got boned but for the most part, very good year for a once perennial bottom dweller and they are the blueprint I hope the Jets can become next season as far as jumping from top 4-5 pick to a playoff team.

I just don't buy Lou Anarumo as a legit defensive coordinator and if they get exposed today, If I am Zac Taylor I place calls to Vic Fangio and or Wade Phillips and ask what he and his wife are doing and get dinner tomorrow.

The Raiders might be the most sound special teams side in the playoffs maybe excluding New England. Carlson and AJ Cole are so good. I think the Bengals ST let them down today, Raiders will win because of it and their interim HC will have that tag quickly removed after today.  

So excited for this weekend!

The Bengals defense has its ups and downs. They waver but can get pressure and be incredibly active - but that aggression also kills them at times.

If the Bengals lose today it’s going to be because their offensive line gets dominated by Crosby and company.

On the other hand the Raiders defense played a shit ton of downs less than 6 days ago and could be exhausted.

Bengals got to win the LOS. That’s the game.

Bills pls

KC already has enough motivation to win another super bowl after TB manhandled last season. I doubt a QB on his last legs will fire them up more than that.
