The very last multiple days doubleheader weekend is upon us but we should be grateful because all the matchups look really good or at least interesting. Will I avoid day-drinking so that I can watch the night game? YOU BET!
To The Game!
Jags/Chiefs:
-Much like the Giants the Jags are playing with the proverbial house money, far exceeding their own and everyone else’s expectations. Though they can improve, this season has been a raging success by any metric one can imagine.
-Much is being made of Chris Jones being sackless in all the playoff games he’s played in. (kinda hard to imagine, tbh) But the edge fella that might end up being the most disruptive is rook George Karlaftis. He was very slow off the mark at the beginning of the season but has 5.5 sackaroos in the last 7 games.
-Bad News Aplenty: Speaking of defensive players struggling, let’s shine a light on Jags rook lb Devin Lloyd, who was playing so badly in the week 10 game vs these Chiefs that he was pulled in the 2nd half. Jacksonville is dead last in the league in DVOA vs tight ends and throws to the short middle of the field. Looks to me like Kelce should have one of those 12 catch, 130 yard, 2 TD games.
-I Did Not Know This: Reid was the qb coach when Pederson was the 3rd string ball tosser for the Packers in the ’97 and ’98 seasons.
Time For Another: Four of the Jags last eight wins have required a 4th quarter comeback.
-The Guy Sees The Field Well: According to Next Gen Stats, Mahomes has successfully scrambled 119 times in a row without getting sacked. In that game back in week 10 he scrambled 5 times for 40 yards.
-Along with Karlaftis, the Chiefs will be relying on rooks in key positions that obviously have no playoff experience. Slot corner Trent McDuffie, Isiah Pacheco and 7th round cb Jaylen Watson are breaking their playoff cherry. The same is also true of Kadarius Toney who will be replacing the injured Mecole Hardman.
Have at it.
It’s simple.
Either one of you comes to my house and takes me down with a high dosage animal tranquilizer, or I kill my mother in law. Who for some fucking reason is here during playoff weekend.
I’m not kidding. I need your help.
Jesus Christ on a Double Whopper with Bacon. I am in hell.
Sorry if I’m in favor of the latter, but as the closest one to you, I ain’t coming.
Least the Jags rested Etienne well for next year
There.will be no bandana wrapped wing-wang laps around Fortress LemonJello tonight.
It was an amazing season, wrap that rascal one more time!
They really need to rework onside kicks.
Waffle House!
For the Cover!!!
Yes sir!!!!!
End of this game was made for Al Michaels
Bad News: This game is a foregone conclusion.
Good News: The Jags are a year ahead (at least) of their projected progress as a competitive footballing team.
They will be in it every year for quite awhile, no doubt.
grading on the afc south curve they are three years ahead
more if irsay hilariously hires saturday and the texans trade all of texas to get back the 1st overall
And Lawrence fought like a scalded dog, in all serious.
+1
What a foundation Urban put into place.
If you portmanteau Giants/Eagles it’s almost Giggles
If only one of them had Shatley, It would be shits and giggles!
WAY scarier than moutheyes
Now you’ve done it.
Still a better season than the P*triots had.
Chad Henne is still young compared to Brady. He should be a Chief for at least another decade.
Looks like Clark Hunt paid for full GFE
Always the way to go!
Once again, Florida screws it up for everyone.
Who the fuck is falling for that fake pass bullshit with the Chiefs up 10 with 3 minutes remaining? Most likely candidate is Andy Reid, and he called it.
-9.5
Vegas accidentally setting a really good line is also kind of news
Fuuuuckkkk, need a garbage Duvaaallll fg

I keep forgetting to seek out his shit, I wouldn’t read anything else on ESPN.com, but Barnwell is excellent
Agreed. Shame they have him behind their paywall and forcing me to spend more money.

Aww fuck.

Clean your finger! Pretend to whittle! NO DON’T FUCK IT UP
Is this a good time to remind everyone that “Spiro Agnew” is an anagram of “Grow A Penis”?

Like so many Free Agents, betting on Jacksonville did not work out.

C. Kirk – Return is Questionable.
J.T. Kirk – OUT
charlie kirk – DNP (too small)
Huh, usually it’s J.T. Kirk reporting the demise of a redshirt, not the other way around.
Effective…kicker…tackling…? (not pretty, but effective)
not sure it was effective on purpose
