Wild Card Weekend

jnormand · 01-04-2020, 09:42 PM

Was kind of let down the Bills choked. But I'm loving watching Henry run all over the Pat's in Foxborough. What a beast.

Wow...wanna see them beat NE. But I think our defense could stop him. He's got over 100 yards in the first half. He's brutal.

Vrabel out-Belichicked Belichick! Incredible job by the Titans. What a game.

Patroits ain't winning another Super Bowl for many years.

Bills have only themselves to blame for losing that game. Singletary looked great, like vintage Curtis Martin and Texans couldn't tackle him hardly at all and yet they kept insisting on putting it all on their young QB who clearly got rattled. Way too many gun empty sets by both teams, turning a playoff game into a schoolyard game, just totally reckless and stupid coaching, Texans weren't any better really and just won off of a freak play.

Brady is done. The Patriots are done. Now Bill's legacy can be assessed. He will be average, at best, without Brady. I am SO very happy the Patriots are over.

The Schadenfreude!!!!!

Watching Hoodies face as he realized what Vrabel was up to with the clock burning tactics!!

Was also disturbed by the official closest to the Bills player "giving himself up" in the end zone was also the first to signal TD for Houston. Doesn't he know the rules?

With all the speculation around Brady, the thing no one is talking about is when Bill will decide to retire. For those people thinking Bill needs or has a burning desire to prove he can do it without Brady, not so sure. Bill is very opaque and has his own ideals. It would be the right time to hand the reigns to McDaniel so they don't lose him to another team.

Why do they call it Wild Card and who came up with that name?

I Googled it and this came up:The names of the first two playoff rounds date back to the postseason format that was first used in 1978, when the league added a second wild-card team to each conference. The first round of the playoffs is dubbed the wild-card round (or wild-card weekend).
