2021 NFL Playoffs - Wildcard Round Thread

An interesting situation with the whistle and the bengals shouldn’t have had a TD, at least on that down.

Raider's hanging in there

I think the steelers are going to shock everyone and beat the chiefs narrowly.

I think this mainly because no one else seems to...they just squeaked in there and without the weight and pressure of huge expectations they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, there's a bit of nostalgia there and they will battle, as good as the chiefs are I could see them getting frustrated if they are held for any length of time.

But I could be half mad I suppose

I had Scotland to beat England in the final round of matches a couple of six nations back very much against the grain and every pundit + almost any other sane person...I predicted the other two matches correctly hour's before kickoff...right up until the last minutes of the last game friends were looking at me like Iwas a psychic😁..in the end I was incorrect of course as they drew (very unexpectedly and a thrilling high scoring game but nonetheless I was wrong).....anyway although people have accused me of sniffing glue for many reasons I get a strong feeling and I go with it! Fully aware its akin to me thinking I'm going to win the lottery....which BTW hasn't happened

I just think (however irrationally) they are going to do it...

The old dog still has a bit of life in him, their defence will see it as a last stand etc...I can almost visualise the chiefs coming up against a yellow and black brick wall and being shut down for some reason.

I'd be losing my mind if I was a fan of either team here. Hopefully they're getting all the bad officiating out of their system now

Raiders STILL hanging in there.

Deserved win for the Bengals. Great to see.

Game over - Raiders played it tough the whole way. Good luck to the Bengals

Can't see me staying up much longer but gwan my favourite QB and the Bills!

Bad drop there.

Interception was amazing but doesn't happen if you swap QBs - Jones' arm left that hang in the air which let the safety get across, it is the difference in an elite power from a QB. Having said that Agholor should have still grabbed it.

With that second score there by the Bills there is huge pressure now for the Patriots to get something from this drive. Unless something changes it looks like the Bills will score every time they get the ball - doubt a shootout is where Bill wanted to be

Yep looking like a wipeout before halftime

I was content to view this season as a success as I didn't expect the playoffs this year. But this spectacular December/January collapse takes a hell of a lot of shine off it. I'm off to bed.

Wow, kicking a field goal down 24 is a decision... Seems like there has been no urgency at all from the Patriots tonight from their punting early onwards.

Agree with the others that they look decent going into next year but not that much cap space and guys they'll need to pay. Lots of good, not many stars to build around
