Playoff Watching Thread

[Aggies7]

The playoffs are under way. First game up is chargers at Texans. Not a super interesting matchup to me, two perennial underachievers. I think that Houston has had this time slot every time they’ve reached the playoffs. And probably for a reason. Not much national appeal.

[Aggies7]

Sloppy but entertaining so far

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I’m not watching, but looking at the play by play it looks like that was a nice use of time management by Houston and keeping their TOs to get that 3 points at the end of the half?

[Parfigliano]

Chargers inability to score TD is reminding me of a recent game discussed extensively in this forum

[Aggies7]

Texans are just so bad in the playoffs. Turnover machine tonight 

[Aggies7]

What do you call on 2nd and 40?

[Parfigliano]

With that INT SanD done

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good lord. I don’t think a lot of people saw Houston advancing. 

[Aggies7]

Ugly sort of game 

[gunnarthor]

The last five minutes have been quite entertaining 

[nicksaviking]

Wow. I didn't see this coming.

Love to see Jim Harbaugh humbled though.

Herbert really stunk today

What?!? I thought that was Darnold!

Steelers have been fraudulent all season, I don’t expect much out of them tonight 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Agreed.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wait @Aggies7 your the Scorigami guy right?  Looks like we just got one somehow it doesn’t feel like that should be one

They have to be the only organization that hasn't cared to put any effort into developing a passing game the last half decade.

I've always liked the Steelers and Tomlin, but the utter stubbornness in wanting to play 1980's football is starting to get really annoying. Sure, you'll get to the playoffs but with zero chance at winning the championship. Seems like a bad goal.

Russ was cooked last year. Vikings probably should have beaten him when he was in Denver last season, but I think that was the game that the passtronaut started coming back to earth a bit. That was one of his last great highlights lol

[Mike Sixel]

This second game is as one sided as you'd predict...

Yeah, Wilson is better than what they've had since Roethlisberger retired, but it's still really, really bad.

And they doubled down on their disregard for passing the ball by hiring Arthur Smith! He was an OL coach, who got promoted to the OC job under Mike Vrabel who also hated to throw the ball, got lucky by having Derrick Henry, parlayed that into a HC job with Atlanta where he PROVED that his system only works with a HOF RB, then the Steelers decided to thumb their noses at the rest of the league AND their fans and hire this doofus who couldn't teach a QB how to blow his nose.

How do you really feel?

Ha for sure, that was more aggressive than needed!

I don't have that vested of an interest in the situation. But those who deny evolution do get under my skin. Including those who deny the evolution of sports. A psychiatrist might trace this mental issue back to the Twins Terry Ryan era I suppose.

[Aggies7]

Steelers ought to put Fields in

[gunnarthor]

I wish the steelers had a qb.

Well that’ll shut me up I guess

Nice drive

Feels like the AFC is destined to be a Ravens Chiefs championship game

I don't know, that Bills vs Ravens game could be the best thing all post season.

[Vanimal46]

Is Derrick Henry already a top 10 RB of all time? He’s an ageless wonder
