AFC Divisional Round Games Thread

Re: AFC Divisional Round Games Thread

Impact of the weather in the New England game is grossly overrated. It's going to be high 20's or low 30's and no snow and low winds at 5-10 mph. . Not really that big of a deal.

If the Pats win it's because the outplayed the Chargers. The weather means next to zero.

This will be my first trip to Gillette, really looking forward to it.

Really? Have fun! It's going to be an amazing experience.

It’s going to be a long ride if the Chargers get smoked. [emoji16]

I started watching this game and already something jumped out at me...Chiefs kicker kicking off the game: 93 kickoffs, 6 touchbacks. Incredible that TB % was that low...they've really boosted it with all the rule changes.

The game is significantly, noticeably more boring with less kick returns. And offers way less game variance. No chance for changing a game with some field position or a fumble, no way to break for a TD, etc.

I'm a big Tom Brady and Patriots fan but he is not the same Tom Brady, especially throwing under pressure. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa are going to cause him problems. I think the biggest key to this game for the Patriots is getting Sony Michel going. If they can win the time of possession game and have a successful day running I think they come away with the W. The Chargers are dangerous though and have gotten it done in big games this year and the only reason you guys didn't have a 1st round bye was because you share a division with the Chiefs.

Have fun at the game, should be a great time. Being a Lions fan first and from Detroit football is the one sport that I haven't had a chance to see a playoff game live, maybe one day. Next time I get a chance to go out east to see my family out there i should try and go to a game at Gillette.

Chargers vs. Patriots

This one is going to be a close game, I almost want to go Chargers here but being a fan of the Patriots I'm going to have to predict a New England win.

Colts vs. Chiefs

This one should be a really good game, the Colts are getting hot at the right time. I want the Chiefs to win this one, they've become one of my favorite teams to watch and Mahommes is a special QB. But with Andy Reid's playoff track record I'm going to predict a Colts win.

LOL Jeebs! I just realized you're the one commenting about how you know all the formations and watch the Manning game vs the Chiefs a lot. I don't usually read the names of the people commenting but when I saw your phrasing about it I immediately realized it was you.


Too crazy.....


Back on topic, I agree that if the Chargers were to win it all Rivers would be inclined to hang em up. Maybe he might stay for an extra year so management can get their future QB plans in place though. I think he's one of those guys that cares about how he leaves his team and won't just walk away out of the blue.

Hahaha I guess I get around the commenting section lol. There are so many games I'll sit down with a note pad and watch it over and over.

I was shocked the other day when someone (in here) said I didn't know about the college football playoffs system lol. I was like go over there with that mess lol.

Hard to think of a 1/6 playoff game more ripe for an upset than Colts/Chiefs.

Colts are on fire and great offense, bad defense teams are almost universal busts in the playoffs.

It's is nuts how hot they are. History is in their side. From the terms of hot wild card teams usually win here.

Re: AFC Divisional Round Games Thread

Love that the Colts/Chiefs game is shaping up to be a Snow game. Something about Playoff Football with snow coming down just gives me a special Childhood feeling. I used to play a lot of Madden games and set the weather to snow on purpose just because it looked cool.

Definitely should make for some interesting plays whether it be DBs slipping, fumbles, long run with tacklers just looking silly trying to tackle the RB.

Snow games are always fun for sure. I hope it accumulates quite a bit.

Re: AFC Divisional Round Games Thread

Only been 1 drive for each team but the Chiefs look like they aren't effected by the conditions at all. Mahomes crisp in his throws, and they are getting downhill in the run game; where as the Colts have already had a drop to go 3 and out.

Re: AFC Divisional Round Games Thread

Indy's really looking shaky on all sides of the ball right now. Luck looks pretty antsy as well. The Chiefs aren't doing anything too crazy defensively but they're playing sound football to start.

Long live the snow games!
