NFL Playoffs Open Thread

The NFL playoffs start today!  My beloved Bills kick off at 1:05 pm against the Colts.  Both zkids will be out of the house until 2:45 so I will be able to enjoy most of the game without being heckled for food or Robux.

I'm a little nervous.  Josh Allen played amazing football this year, but the last time he played in a playoff game he took at least 18 months off my life with this play:

And I'm not being hyperbolic.  Apparently I made all sorts of loud crazy/angry noises, prompting zwoman to run into the room.  She found me on my knees, pulling my hair, with my face tomato red like our friend ED209.  I blacked out for a few seconds of that tantrum.  My cardiologist wasn't happy.

Hopefully Allen won't do stupid stuff like that today.

The other angst-inducing aspect of this game is the Frank Reich factor.  When I raised this issue to a few friends from high school, my boy Lumpy Kris, aka Willie Lump Lump, posited "Frank Reich should walk onto the field with his cock out!!! I'm Frank Reich, I own this place!"

The Colts are kinda vanilla, they don't do anything particularly well on offense but they average 28.2 points per game, good for ninth best in the league.  Their defense allows the tenth fewest points per game, so they're well balanced.  This might not be an easy game.  Hopefully Reich keeps his cock in his pants.

Watch along with me and mock me in the comments.

Go Bills. Rooting for you. Don’t blow it.

WFT getting 8 from Tampa tonight. This game could easily be 38-3, this game could come down to it. Brady in the playoffs, 11-5 manhandling 7-9, and a teachable moment for a rookie talking too much is the most likely outcome... but I still think there’s a remote chance the Team could surprise.

With the rise of the popular new Danish cartoon, I hear some men are less confident to walk into a situation with their cock out.

rob said...

your tribe 1.5-point home favorites agains delaware this afternoon. that’s all i’ve got to say about that.

TR said...

Not me, Rootsy!

rob said...

that really should been a post, rootsy.

Whitney said...

Still can be

Whitney said...

Tribe on TV down here in SEVA. Beats watching Zman’s boys choke.

TR said...

Cowher looking quite dapper. The pocket square matching the shirt and the blazer color are a good look.

I wonder if I’ll ever wear a blazer again. Pretty sure I no longer remember how to tie a tie.

Mark said...

I’m quite nervous for the Tampa-Washington games. Has all the makings of a huge upset. Zman and I have sent many texts re: both of our teams games. I wish I didn’t have to wait until 8:15 for my game.

And, of course Zman has a friend he nicknamed Willie Lump Lump. Shoutout to one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

TR said...

NFL stadiums (stadia?) sure love playing Creeping Death on 3rd down.

Whitney said...

Allen’s an exciting player. In every sense of the word.

zman said...

I've been waiting for that for 25 years. I'm glad that game is over, much more nip-and-tuck than I wanted.

zman said...

Now I'm rooting for Pittsburgh. Hi Shlara!

rob said...

zed man!

rob said...

tribe finishes the game on a 13-4 run to steal their first caa win of the year. not going winless in the league!

Mark said...

Florida-Kentucky followed by a Bucs game I’m not super confident about. Oh, and my wife is out of town. Thankfully, the kid just wants pizza for dinner.

Whitney said...

Mark, you can breathe a little easier since Alex Smith is out. Sad end to an inspirational comeback season for him.

Whitney said...

...but Taylor Heinicke, baby. Pride of ODU.

I know, I know. It’s ODU. But he did once throw for 730 yards in a game. And won the Walter Payton Award. And had career stats of 132 TDs to 39 INTs and nearly 15,000 yards.

I know. I know. But a boy can dream.

I’m a Bucs fan. I never breath easy. Save for a very short run we’ve been somewhere between god awful and mediocre for my entire life.

rob said...

which one of you asked for the hacker?

rob said...

tribe game tomorrow vs delaware is cancelled because the blue hens only have 5 healthy scholarship players (injuries, not covid). we're now at 8 played of 12 scheduled.

Donna said...

Why is this game in Washington? Isn’t Tampa’s record better - does that not decide where they play?

Whitney said...

Washington won their division. Amazingly. Division winners host.

TR said...

Congrats to Teej for being promoted to Assistant to the Regional Manager.

T.J. said...

Unless I royally screw things up get excited for the next update in 60 days when I get that interim tag removed.

rob said...

and then we can get together and raise a glass. via zoom.

TR said...

Invite Kato again

rob said...

kato never left, tr

Mark said...

This game. Has. All the makings.

Whitney said...

Pivotal possession right here. Need the defense to notch it up one more degree and make a big play.

Mark said...

Fuuuuuuuuck

rootsminer said...

Whit, tell Mark about ‘Heineke Time’.

Whitney said...

Tom Brady is unflappable. And the vaunted WFT D line can’t get to him.

Whitney said...

But I like Heinicke Time

Whitney said...

That there looks like a collarbone injury. Fuck.

Mark said...

Yes it does. WFT should consider an exorcism of some sort if they plan on ever having a functional QB for more than a season.

rootsminer said...

Heroic return by the taylor to show he’s the guy you need as your backup qb.

Whitney said...

Well... here goes nothing.

Whitney said...

They gave it as good a shot as I could’ve asked for. Tampa was just too good.

TR said...

Heinicke played himself into a backup spot somewhere next year. Good for him. He looked better than most current back-ups.

Line blew out to TB -10 after Smith was ruled inactive. Should have been -10 vs Smith and -6 vs Heinicke.

TR said...

I watched Hornets-Pelicans last night and LiMelo was very good, narrowly missing a triple-double. He got that triple-double tonight and you should check out the highlights. He looks really really good.
