2020 - Playoff Thread

It's a bit early, but we can track movements up and down the likely fixtures week by week.

If the season ended now, this is what we'd get with the new 7 teams per conference format. Only 1st seed gets the bye. Some intriguing matchups, in the AFC I think our Buffalo pals would be a bit nervous going up against the Browns. Which is some statement to make.

At first when LaMarbleMouf went out, I thought he had to take a shit...but, he must have been concussed. His backup was outplaying him. Huntley played decent.
 
Lamar jackson keeps being exposed as Running QB in playoffs . He needs to learn how to be a dual threat QB. He won't have a long career in pros.

Huntley is an UDFA rookie and played at least as well as Lamar did, lol.

Lamar Jackson had 4 chances in the red zone which is a potential 28 points.
He led his team to 2 missed FGs, 1 made field goal and a disastrous interception.
28 points were within his grasp and he led the egg-sucking Ravens to minus -4 points.
Game, set, match.
Situational football.
Looking at the box score you'd figure the Ravens should have won by 10 pts easy. Except for Lamar's QBR of 56 and passer rating of 61.

Results matter. Lamar has played in 4 playoff games and he's won 1. (TBrady had 10 playoff wins before his first loss for comparison;)
His average QBR in the playoffs is 25. His average passer rating in the playoffs is 69.

The Ravens can have him. He's not the QB I'd like for my team.
 
The NFL is brutal. Jackson is a young man, fiercely talented yet questions now abound about his abilities in the playoffs and his overall standing as a top calibre QB. It really is tough.
 
He's a amazing athlete. If he don't learn how to read defenses & make tough throws. You just have no faith in him. To win a game if he's forced to Pass
 
I’m thinking the Rams are gonna keep it close. Green Bay can’t stop the run and Akers has been phenomenal. Green Bay just lost a great offensive lineman, and Donald is gonna wreck their home. Ramsey can hold down Adams and they have no one else. They will not establish the run on the Rams.

The packers are this years most overrated team, and it’s not even close. Look back over their schedule. Every game was a great matchup for them except for the Bucs.

You might want to rethink what you think you know about football.

Packers
Chiefs
Ravens
NO

I'm not saying that's how I want it to go, just that's how I see it happening.

Rams' Goff and his throwing thumb with 3 pins in it in cold weather in GB.
Browns seem closest to an upset but Mayfield would have to have the game of his life 2 weeks in a row.
Bills D vs Ravens O. The Ravens run well and the Bills give up rushing yards. Weather is a non-factor
TBay with its 4th road game in its last 5 games. No team put more points on the Bucs this year than NO. Payton has owned Arians. TBay has been poor against teams with good defenses this year --> 1 & 4. NO has a good defense.

Nothing makes me happier than being wrong about those Ravens. Leslie Frazier figured out a way to nullify Lamar Jackson. Give credit to Frazier.
