Make me look dumb for doubting

Make me look dumb for doubting

I actually liked that sequence of moves after the catch on the sidelines more than the run. That was nasty. Nice cut to make the DB miss on the run too, but that catch and then the moves after impressed me more. Would have had the TD there too had Mahomes not thrown it at his head.

Great play by Mahomes to make up for the gimme he missed the play before.

You mean on the pass that didn't lead him down field? Where he had to stop and come back to the ball, with a defender running in full sprint not having to break stride? That play was on Rodgers for the underthrow no question.

It doesn't matter if the throw was a little off. Rodgers was rolling out in windy, snowy conditions, a perfect throw he may have scored. However after that, it's all up to Jones. It was a boneheaded play, no way to sugar coat it. He saw the safety had an angle and knew he had to slow up a bit to catch it. He needs to gain as many yards as he can, and get out of bounds. Period. Zero excuses for Jones not to get out of bounds. Zero. You should know that playing High School football. A seasoned vet like Jones, there is just no excuse not to get out of bounds. You know the situation, and the need to get out of bounds to save your last time out to have more plays available. A few extra yards, which he didn't get anyway, aren't a substitute for the loss of a time out.

I think the 9ers getting this far is great for football. It separates true fans from people watching the names/colors on the jersey. It emphasizes that football is a true team game- not just the all-pro or pro_bowlers, top reserve and rotational players , but coaches- not just the HC, but the entire staff. It shows that an elite team cruising throughout the regular season can be knocked out if they aren't playing well. This isn't the NBA, where you can buy relevance with one superstar signing. One stat I heard was GB totaled 58 yards of offense (I think, though might've been passing) in the 2nd half. GB's offense failed to put the game away, and it wasn't simply on their ST.

A repeat of the SF-LAR late season match would be a treat for NFL fans.

You could say either would have been better as a short term win now move AND better long term.

Didn't get a chance to watch much but heard quite a bit of the LAR TB game. Today was the first time all of their projected week one starters played. Announcers noted various defensive breakdowns due to miscommunication throughout the game, especially the defensive backfield on blitzes.

Have to think they're in for a rebuild here. Rodgers gone. Adams gone. Some players will probably be cut to get them under the cap since they're projected to be $44 million over.

NFL is probably praying that the Bucs and Chiefs win today.

At a score of 10 - 3, with about 6 minutes to play, GB with the ball, a couple of first downs could have helped GB win. Instead, the Packers lose 9 yards, and the block punt happens at their goal line.

Rodgers shares blame in this game as well as the ST. Bottom line, a championship QB helps makes plays in Championship games. Rodgers, for being one of the all time greats, again, doesn't get it done.

I agree that in a vacuum, the GB ST lost the game for them. Aaron Rodgers had done -enough- to win. But he -also- hadn't done enough to not lose... 10 pts in a Championship game doesn't cut it, and neither does 13 really.

Per Bob Sturm, long time Packers beat:

These Rodgers decisions looked a lot like the decisions he's made when he's lost in other playoffs, too. He locks in on Adams, and he stops trusting the scheme - at perhaps the most important moment of the season.

There will be excuses, but this loss is also very much on him.

Thanks, more evidence than I provided for why Rodgers shares blame for the loss.

You all look absolute SILLY for doubting my boy Jimmy G!

He only throws ~6 bad passes per game that can be intercepted. He almost threw 4 interceptions vs the Packers. HIS MAX IS SIX! He had two more to spare! MILES better than usual.

Doubt him again? Live and learn.

Guessing Gabriel Davis' stock is up after his record setting game.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to doubt him jussssst one more time...

My guess is you're going to have to manage at least 1x offensive touchdown to beat the Rams

And man, I have to say that's probably one of the most exciting games I've seen in a very long time. The lead changes at the end, then the Chiefs closing it out in OT without Allen even touching the ball.

Frankly, had Buffalo won the toss, I'm not sure the game wouldn't have ended the same way. Only with Buffalo driving down the field and getting a TD to send the Chiefs home.

I know one thing... anyone NOT taking Mahomes or Allen as their top QB if they were starting a franchise right now would be classified as downright koo-koo-krazy! You'd have to be nuts!

I mean, what other option even is there? Who else could you even possibly pick that you know -for certain- could go in and play a game like THAT against either of these dudes, in a must-win, do-or-die, season-is-over-if-we-lose kind of game...?

Truly, we are living in hallowed Quarterbacking times. I have huge respect for Josh Allen right now. Mahomes is still my #1 QB in the league with a bullet, and he just showed why - but Allen is right there. Wow.

Non-competitive games, sloppy play, flags galore, refs screwing up. I sure hope arizona comes back and makes this interesting, because this just isn’t fun to watch.

Not looking likely.

This must be the football gods equalizing things since the regular season was as good as it was.

Maybe it’s an every other week thing now lol

I think Burrow is a season or two away from being there. Next week he gets to go and prove he belongs. Not sure if your talking real life franchise, but fantasy wise the Murrays and Jacksons have to be considered for their rushing upside. I agree with you though, you wouldnt take any of those guys right now over Mahomes/Allen.

I'm more impressed with how quickly Allen changed the course of his career, ik its been talked about, but just a few seasons ago he was labeled a bust (rightly so IMO) and seemingly turned it on a dime and is now being discussed as one of the best QB's in the game.

That was one of the greatest games I think I've ever seen in my life.
