More Playoff Football? You Got It! An Open Thread

Here we go again…

To The Game!

Bucs/Lions:

-Fill In The Blank: Yeah, we get it, Detroit haven’t been successful in the playoffs many a year or decade. So you’ll be hearing crap like “A Lions qb hasn’t picked his nose in consecutive weekends in January since Eisenhower signed into legislation the Interstate Highway System” or somesuch. The years fly by, who’da thunk?

-Speaking Of: This is the very first battle of overall #1 qb’s since last week!

-Prediction: Tampa will blitz quite a bit. Why? Because they employed that tactic more than only two other teams through the season and Goff coughed up 7 turnovers this year when facing that kind of pressure. Also, the Bucs blitzed at a 54% pace last week vs Philly. If it ain’t borked…

-Prediction X2: Chiefs wr’s will have a lower number of dropped passes today because Kadarius Toney is out. (surprise!) I can’t help myself.

-A Canuck Angle: Detroit’s chances of winning just increased by 5.27% according to the advanced metric SCGT. (Super Canadian Good Tidings) The good folks in Windsor, Ontario have raised the Lions flag at City Hall. Hell, it’s pretty much a done deal now, folks.

-Baker or Bust: Rashaad and Co’s rushing attack was 28th in DVOA this season. They’ll likely do very little vs the Lions stout run D.

-So with the majority of the attention fixed on Godwin and Evans look for a deep-ish crosser route thrown Trey Palmer’s way at least twice today. He can easily take it to the house with his speed.

Let’s get going.

Baker Mayfield really Bakered this game.

King Hippo

It was delayed, but not denied.

King Hippo

Baker, Baker, FINALLY the turnover maker.

hippofant

Mmmm, baked turnovers.

WCS

Just a reminder that even if they choke this out like a rapid feline, these are still, and always will be, the Lions.

Been out all afternoon due to some “friends” commitments. What kind of friends schedule hangs during playoff football? Anyways I’ve been wearing a toque and keeping an earbud in to listen to things as they’ve been happening. Finally home. Bucs… whaddya got for me?

Never play the prevent.

King Hippo

Depends on how tired the defense is, now. MAYBE.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Well at least I won’t be tempted to check the score on the way to dinner.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

just when the game was getting really interesting, it might just be about over

King Hippo

that was amazing to have the leg strength to get the first down, yikes

litre_cola

Only 4 more games left this season. Le sigh.

King Hippo

There’s always NASCAR. Oh wait, that’s a stupid shit waste of time enjoyed by inbred hicks with MAGA tattooed on their foreheads.

Doesn’t it seem like this season has flown by? In the immortal words of the prophet, Mick Jagger, “I’m zipping through the days with lightning speed.”

King Hippo

Does The Canadia have a Frogger button instead of SAP?

Quebeckers wouldn’t deign to watch such a barbarian American sport.

litre_cola

Too many downs. Universite de Laval are a factory for 3 down ball.

King Hippo

is Quebec The Canadia’s SEC PAAAAAWWWWWLLL?

litre_cola

Laval is ALWAYS in the bracket at the end. Universite de Montreal is a good program too.

WCS

The do speek frenchie in LSU pawwlll

King Hippo

TROOF, Cajun is mostly just mumbly French

jjfozz

I would be content for the Bucs to win it all, just to add another nail to the coffin that is the incompetence of the Brown’s organization.

WCS

The Jets, too, for shitting out Bowles in favor of this dude:

It took a while, but I figured out how to get SAP running on my TV and man was it worth it.
