It's going to be a belter its a shame someone has to win.

Would love to see the Bills lose another Divisional home playoff.

As a Miami fan I don't think I cheer on the Bills to win the SB. If they get there I hope they make it 0/5.

Last year when it looked like Buffalo would make the SB, I was thinking now they have a chance to collect the set - a SB loss from each of the NFC East teams.

Don't think anyone is beating the Ravens though. They are a scary team when it's clicking like it did in the second half today. 49ers could maybe make it interesting, but after today, I'm not convinced of that either.
The earlier beat down the Ravens gave the 49ers could have been looked at as on off day after a tough schedule.

Despite the loss Green Bay i think overall can walk away feeling pretty good about themselves I reckon.

Smashed the cowboys in Dallas and pushed 49ers all the way in San Fran.

Jordan Love will get better as well.

How many wins is it now though in past 12-13 years the 49ers have beaten the packers in playoffs 4 or 5.

Green Bay and the Texans will be scary in a year or two unless something goes horribly wrong.
We'll see how CJ Stroud goes next year after defenses have had a chance to look at film, but the Texans have cap space and are ready to shop 'till they drop.

The 3rd and one and 4th and one in first half was a killer. Left 3 points there. Was also a missed pick that should of been taken along with the missed field goal. Green Bay probably deserved to win thst game.

I didn't see much from Jordan Love that wows me. Not compared to say Stroud. Looks ok still.
Lamar is a funny one. Philli traded the 28th pick so Giants didn't take him. I bet they wish they snapped him up. I guess Wentz was having a superb season before getting injured thst year amd they did win the Superbowl.
I'm unsure if Jalen Hurts is the real deal. He can throw some amazing balls but tends to try to hard and throw to many picks.
Prescott is a funny one. Good QB but failed to many times in play offs.

I’m still buzzed after that one.
We should not have won. Just an awful game from both the offence and the defence (although luckily our red zone defence was pretty good).

I thought the game was over after that huge run by the Packers after we went three and out in the fourth quarter. Packers missing the field goal there was lucky time a thousand.

Purdy was awful. Our o-line was awful. The play calling was awful. The run defence was awful. The discipline was awful. But that last drive was almost perfect (I was about to break my tv after Kittle dropped it). I simply can’t believe that we actually win that.

Credit to GB. They put themselves into a great position to win, and forced the Niners into playing like shit. They got unlucky so many times (dropped interception in the first quarter, missed FG) although they did get a bit of luck going their way as well (our kicker hitting it too low and letting them block the FG, so many defenders slipping over giving them easy receptions).

Absolute nerve wracking game that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

It glad we won. I still won’t sleep tonight though. Will take at least a day for the blood pressure to go back down.

We've won the last 5 playoff games between the two teams.
GB had out measure before that though.

Question on the NFL.

Why don't they have to ground the ball when scoring a touchdown?

Crossing the line is good enough i suppose.

They do the kick from the same spot so its irrelevant where abouts in the endzone they score.

"Unlike a try scored in rugby, and contrary to the event's name, the ball does not need to touch the ground when the player and the ball are inside the end zone. The term touchdown is a holdover from gridiron's early days when the ball was required to be touched to the ground as in rugby, as rugby and gridiron were still extremely similar sports at this point. This rule was changed to the modern-day iteration in 1889."

It would be a fairytale for the NFL if the Lions can go all the way to the super bowl for the 1st time.

Perianal losers and i suppose a franchise that most fans would have every right to have given up on over the years.

Might finally get there day in the Sun.

But why? They changed it in 1889 doesn't explain it though.
