2021 NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round Thread

Itssoeasy

The Bengals are going to have use some draft picks on their OLine in the upcoming draft. You can’t have your franchise QB be sacked seven times in a playoff game.

Don't care who wins it at this stage as long as it doesn't go to OT. This has been like watching paint dry.

awful play calls on 3rd and 4th down there.

Yeah not sure why the believed that would work.

That’s number 8.

The whole game is bad call after bad call. 8 sacks on Burrow and they still refuse the seal the edges with TE's. You have chase and Higgins going down field. You don't need Uzameh etc. plus it would open up run opportunity or play action for Mixon. Idiotic coaching.

Mr. Guappa

Seems like they are getting to Burrow on every 3rd down.

If they keep going like this their franchise QB will be retiring in 2025. Crazy to allow him take that much risk.

Deserved

What a play from Apple to get his hand in there. Step up McPherson.......

Itssoeasy

INT titans and chase with a great catch to get within FG range. KC and buffalo shouldn’t be that worried on this performance. Neither team seems to want to win this game.

Titans blow another season. How can you sack the QB 8 times and stop that many 3rd downs yet be so ineffective in offense that you don't take advantage. Pathetic showing. Only AJ Brown can be happy with his contribution.

Itssoeasy

How do you sack a QB nine **** times and still lose. That will hurt for a while.

That's true. It was 9 sacks. Tannehill is the weak link. But its too late. They are the Waterford of the NFL. Missed their chance in the sun.

standardg60

Cannot fathom why the Titans were nonchalantly letting the clock run down on their final possession there when still deep in their own half.

Just placed more pressure to make a big throw. Tannehill had a mare, nine sacks by your defense and still unable to deliver. weird game.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Tannehill has to be done in Tennessee after that. I can't imagine Mike Vrabel will have any confidence in him to lead them to a Superbowl. AJ Brown and JJ as receivers with Henry taking most of the D's attention and he did sweet f all.

Henry never got going for whatever reason, whether it was rustiness, bad o-line play, a bad scheme or just down to the Bengals D I'm not really sure, but it was disappointing.

Burrow and Chase are ridiculous.

McPherson looks incredible too. Looked rock solid on the approach to the final kick and is 100% in the playoffs so far.

And as mentioned above numerous times, Bengals need an o-line. They were lucky Burrow wasn't injured tonight.

Tannehill is never going to win them a divisional, never mind a super bowl but he's only part of the problem. The calls from the sideline are septic. Its run Henry, run Henry, run Henry. You have Aj Brown and Julio Jones downfield and you barely use them. Julio is the same player but he can still catch and did the job when they targeted him. I dont see them getting any further than this point ever with the offensive scheme they play.

adrian522

49ers starting CB is out, never thought we'd be relying on him in the divisonal round but here we are. Dontae Johnson starts, expect Rodgers to target him relentlessly.

Packers left tackle Bakhtiari also out which could end up being significant.

It's gonna be a long night for the 9ers

pretty awful so far

Chardee MacDennis

we needed that

adrian522

Early days yet.

Chardee MacDennis

ah here

Chardee MacDennis

wow, that looked like a turnover to me

adrian522

Right side of the 49ers offensive line continues to be a problem in pass protection. Gave up a sack there to a 3 man rush.

adrian522

Packers first 3rd down, less than 2 mins left in the first quarter.

adrian522

Kittle and Aiyuk with bad drops already, 49ers getting nothing in the run game. Jimmy playing well but hard to overcome these drops.

adrian522

Compton gives up another sack.

Chardee MacDennis

Have the 49ers won a first down yet? Pretty grim stuff so far.

adrian522

I think they need to bench Compton. 49ers have 4 3 and outs on offense and 3 sacks on 3rd down, they have lost yards overall so far.
